Gc8foreva and I have decided that us Opponauts in Los Angeles/SoCal need to have a meet before the end of the summer. Lets get some details out of the way. All of these are negotiable and liable to change. If anyone has suggestions, please comment away and invite friends.
The idea: A sort of Oppositelock BBQ/Meet. Bring your cars, bring food, bring camp chairs and chill out!
The location: I was thinking the lot near the carousel at Griffith Park may be a good place for it to be. I believe they have build in mini-BBQs and they have loads of parking. I'll be going there for a meet next weekend and will scout out the area. I'm open to suggestions with lots of parking and places to hang out.
The date: We were thinking either the weekend of August 9th/10th or August 16th/17th. Please let us know which day would work better (Saturday or Sunday).
The time: From 10:30 AM on?
Rules: Be chill, no hooning
Please reply with the following: Preferred date, preferred place, preferred time

Your apprehensive approach saddens me.

Lol well it is a bit of a drive for me from Vegas and I will be in AZ the weekend before (if it is the first weekend listed, otherwise that point is null) so... Maybe.

Oh, that makes a lot more sense. I thought you were more local.

I still consider that to be relatively close, I just hate driving into LA becasue I know it will cost me 2x as much to get home thanks to your amazing gas prices.

I'm actually supposed to be down there on the 9th-11th, so you may get an appearance from a Nor Cal person.

I'm interested! I'd have to drive up from San Diego, but I don't mind. It'd be cool to meet up with some fellow Opponauts.
I would prefer either the 9th, or the 16th though. I work Sundays and can not get them off, so Saturdays would be my only chance of making it. If you do it on Saturday after 10, there's also the possibility of going to Cars and Coffee Irvine before hand as well.
I don't really know many places up in LA, so wherever everyone else decides upon is fine by me.

Alright, we'll try for Saturday!

I should be here those weekends. Any place is good with me, I'll be coming from Hermosa.

I'm not sure if we'll be in town or not. Let me know what you decide and we'll try to make it.

Is there a day you prefer?
![]() 07/18/2014 at 16:37 |
|
Yeah, what that other guy said ... maybe ...
Then again, I'm only 10 miles away from Griffith Park.

I think we're more likely to be in town the first weekend, but I'll probably have to work that weekend.
![]() 07/18/2014 at 19:41 |

Work which one? We're leaning towards the 10th

I have to work the first weekend and we might be out of town the second weekend. I'm not sure what Bird is doing the first weekend.

So no for you on the 10th?
![]() 07/19/2014 at 03:06 |

Ill be there.
![]() 07/19/2014 at 03:15 |

Yay! I'm leaning towards the 10th

Perfect!

Yes! After C&C Irvine would be great! I'll be down from WA with my car and I'm definitely going to C&C Irvine (if nothing horrible happens to the car on the way down) and this would be a great after event.
![]() 07/19/2014 at 04:17 |

Cars and Coffee is Saturday, so this would be the day after.
![]() 07/19/2014 at 04:20 |
|
right.... I mean either the 10th or the 9th work for me, since Il'l be in the area, though the 9th would most likely be a definite, while the 10th would be a maybe. My replay was to what you said about trying for saturday. Either way, just let us know what you all decide and if I can make it it'll be fun and if not I'll be sad.
![]() 07/19/2014 at 04:21 |
|
Ah. I'm leaning towards Sunday because Gc8foreva, the other guy helping plan this, works Saturdays so he couldn't do it then. Let me know! I'm going to scout out the location next Sunday, so I'l go from there.
![]() 07/19/2014 at 04:26 |

I mean I can't give a definite answer either way until I'm make it down there. I'll be leaving Tacoma, WA next wednesday (the 30th) in an Alfa Romeo so hopefully I make it. But If I make it and am in the area on the 10th and don't get dragged to anything by my Grandma then I will definitely try and be there. Just let me know the time and place and date.

Alright. I was thinking it might be an earlier/mid day thing.
![]() 07/19/2014 at 05:15 |

I'm buying a car the weekend of the 9th!
I'm up here from WA, like Stuttgartobsessed, but I might be able to make the drive to SoCal on the 16th/17th
![]() 07/19/2014 at 05:22 |
|
What car? Also, most people seem to be available the 10th.
![]() 07/19/2014 at 21:22 |
|
let's do this! I'm fairly close and should be able to make it either weekend , either day. If you guys are nice I'll wrangle some other audi/vw jackoffs to join in.

It's going to be the 10th. And as long as they're cool, everyone is welcome!

I'm in AZ but might be able to make it if I'm not working.

Seriously?! That would be awesome!
![]() 07/24/2014 at 10:50 |

10th and 16th/17th should work for me! I might have something on the 17th but I'll double check. Should be a good time!

Nice. Not sure when I'll be working yet, but I usually close — so off work at 10pm. I'm totally down for hopping on the road and driving to LA after work. That'd get me there by like 5am. Sleep a couple hours in the park in my car, and I'm good to go. :D

Alright! That would be awesome. I'm sure you could come over to my house for breakfast too if you want.
![]() 07/31/2014 at 02:04 |

Haha I don't know LA too well, luckily I finally got a smart phone again though so I can look up directions. How's the turnout looking so far?
![]() 07/31/2014 at 02:05 |

5 or so :/. I'm trying to get much more though
![]() 07/31/2014 at 02:07 |
|
Surprised there's not a bigger turnout — LA is a pretty big place. I've got some friends who wanna make a beach trip, they could throw down for gas. We've got August break from the 5th to the 25th, so asides from work I'm free.

Not too many people replying :/. I'll repost the crap out of it though

Ah shit, work wants me all weekend. Plus, I just bought an FR-S, so really have to budget the next couple of months.

Unfortunately not, though I'd love to! We have a huge event at my work on Sunday and I can't miss it. Next time though!
