    Soooooooooooo...........

    Can I interest anyone in a March meeting, say at 1:00 p.m., Sunday, March 25th at the Cornerstone Cafe in Metuchen?

    http://www.cornerstonenj.us/index.php/pg=directions.html

    Meet at big parking lot that faces Cornerstone. Make sure your cars are washed (lol). We can spend an hour looking at each others mods and then hit Cornerstone for refreshments at 2 p.m.

    I should have my 2" hitch by then, do a review of the iPod Integration kit that I personally installed...

    :)

    Well, you beat me to the punch. I was going to suggest meeting at Chutney Mary's/Manor on Route 1 in South Brunswick on that same date. Any chance of changing the venue? The restaurant has a terrific weekend buffet.

    Sounds good to me.

    Although... I'm a newbie... not much more than stock with EV. Was thinging a custom paint job with flames or something... decided not in the end.

    Oh! The paint job is triggering The Who's "Won't Get Fooled Again" inside my head. :blink:

    What's really fun is to see what everyone else has added. I think between all of us we have all the mods and then some. It's a really nice group of folks. You'll enjoy it.

    My hitch came (it's still in the box in front of my desk!). They sent a package of Jelly Bellies with the instructions! :lol:

    I like the idea of the hitch. I'm sure it will be sweet. The idea of a light weight trailer keeps coming to the fore... hmmm... have to have a place to carry the bike... multi-fun-c-tion. What flavors? Standard or Harry Potter?

    I won't be making this one, either. :( We're have brunch with the in-laws. All things being equal, I'd much rather be at the meet.

    It's too bad. I might be the only one who hasn't made any mods to his car. :D

    Can't make this one either :( (really, I DO have a Prius) - I'm committed to doing an open house for another agent in our office since that was the only Sunday my kids didn't have soccer games. I'll be at 1054 Colfax Ave in Pompton Lakes, NJ from 1-4 PM if anyone wants to stop by... :)

    Ok, my wife and I can make it to the Cafe& Bistro.

    Next time can we meet at the Indian restaurant? B)

    If the majority would like to meet at the Indian restaurant, then please, change the venue. It's closer to my house ... although I'm not hung up on distance since I drove all the way north to hang with Reed.

    whatever everyone wants to do is fine with me.

    Well, the snowstorm last weekend screwed up my kids' indoor soccer games (closed the schools where they play Saturday as well), so the playoffs and championship games all have been shifted one weekend day. After much begging and pleading, another agent offered to sit my open house on Sunday so I could coach both my kids championship games Sunday (if they make it through 2nd round playoofs on Saturday - my son's tema will likely do so since they are undefeated, but my daughter's team may also make it).

    Still cannot make this meet, but I'm posting to correct that there will be no Prius at the open house @ 1054 Colfax Ave in Pompton Lakes, NJ on Sunday, 1-4PM.

    Let's stay with the Bistro as I went to the Indian restaurant last night for my anniversary.

    My propeller hitch-cover broke when I backed into a snow-bank :( Oh well - I just got my iPod kit today - now I have to go get an iPod - :rolleyes:

    Hey Donna,

    Should I bring my ramps and tools? Is there a place there to do your hitch?



    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(iDonna @ Mar 20 2007, 06:28 PM) [snapback]409236[/snapback]</div>

    Ok - got it - what time are we meeting there?

    :(

    Awwwww, man.

    Looks like I'm locked into a Chuck E Cheese party for the lunch on Sunday.

    I'm in for sure the next time around.

    All the best,
    smitty

    Oh no! It was so cool.

    Ooooo. Yes if you could bring them that would be way cool. Their parking lot is huge so it shouldn't e a problem.

    I thought 1 pm would be convenient enough. Sunday should be good weather wise.



    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(smitty @ Mar 22 2007, 11:39 PM) [snapback]410644[/snapback]</div>

    Bummer. Remind me to find my stack of CeC coins. I have a bunch around here somewhere and it's not likely I'll be frequenting that place going forward.

    So, you're saying you don't want my left over CeC loot? I've been to CeC 2 times in my life. It's fun to watch the crumb-snatchers running amok. If they served beer and let the grownups take turns wearing the mouse outfit I might be more motivated to go. :p

    Are you the primary coordinator of the NJ chapter? From what I've picked up so far you and Reed seem to be the drivers.

    I'm really interested in seeing what folks have done with their Prius'. I suppose by the next gathering I'll have added something new. Thinking BT Plate, Window deflectors, cargo liner, trailer hitch in that basic order.

    Thanks for the invitation.

    Be well,
    -smitty

    Oh no! Not I!

    I'm a Gemini and thus thrive on socialization and communication and just happen to have a Prius (hence, this group). IOW, it's just a personality thing. :blink:
