Suggestions for LA Meet-up!

No response here in a while. I'd like to propose a ad hoc LA area meeting to deal with bluetooth issues. It would be a good chance for a meet, and people could bring their phones and experiment with connecting etc. I have a selfish motive for a meet of this sort, I got my SE T637 working in my car briefly and now it won't. Is it the car? Is it the phone? Who knows.

How about Pasadena? Some weekday night, or on the weekend. Just soon, I'd like to sort out my phone problem right away, and I don't want to deal with it at the dealer or the phone store. Besides, I bought my phone at letstalk.com.

 

Next week is good for me, preferably Monday or Wednesday. I'll leave it to someone who knows Pasadena (let's nail that one down) to pick a place, just post the coordinates! I'd strongly prefer Monday, to start getting concrete about it. I'd be happy if it was just a handful of people with a good mix of phones, say three or four. We have two already.

For that matter, just pshady and I works for me. It could be a Dennys for all I care, the important work would be done in the parking lot anyway.

Once we get a date and place set, we can go to one of the large groups to attract more participants.

Maybe some place in Old Town, we can get a feel for head count and decide on a meeting site at that point.

 

don't have a bluetooth phone, but am thinking of getting one. and have no clue as to the best one, or how to program it for the car. not sure i can make it on monday or wednesday, but would like to get the info on the phones.

 

People who don't have bluetooth phones but are interested in
how they work and what is involved with setting one up, and
what it is like to have one, would find a bluetooth meet to
be very informative.

Looks like Monday might be too soon, not enough interest
expressed.

I figured out my bluetooth problem, by the way. After I
set up the jabra headset I was "connected" to the jabra
headset, and couldn't connect to the car. This was a
problem even after I deleted the jabra from "my devices"
on the phone. When I reinstalled jabra I got an error
message that made sense to me when I tried to connect
to the car, I disconnected from the jabra and was able
to connect to the car. Now I call places I "info" just because
I can.

Now surely some folls out there are interested in getting
together and swapping prius stories...

 

I'm good with Monday night. Wednesday would be a no-go for me.

Pasadena is fine with me, I'm down in Silverlake so the 2/134 is pretty convenient, but I have no suggestions for a get-together spot.

I don't have bluetooth, nor am I terribly interested in it. But I like my car and enjoy talking to other foks about the bladder peculiarities and driving to increase mileage.

 

Three would be a quorum for me. How is Silverlake
for you, pshady? It actually works better for me than
Pasadena.

I live in Arlington Heights, the fancy name
for the neighborhood near Arllington north of the 10.

Is 8 too late? I prefer to avoid rush hour.

 

Are we on for tomorrow night?

And if so, where?

 

How is Silverlake for you? I suggested 8. but maybe earlier would be better. It's dark now, 7:33, don't know if we can meet before dark or not.

Googling a bit, Malo looks good.

Or Thai?

 

Oops, I thought I was responding to pshady, i'm not sure how good Silverlake is with him.

Silverlake is perfect for me, of course.

Funny thing about Malo ... being so close to my home, I'm tempted to walk! But that kind of defeats the purpose of a Prius get together ... I'm not sure about their parking lot situation (I've never been there).

A good alternate if we want something a little closer to the freeway might be Astro, which is on the corner of Glendale Blvd. & Fletcher (right off the 5/2). They have a pretty ample parking lot that I think is pretty well lit.

PShady, what area do you live in?

 

Okay, Astro, tonight, 8pm. My phone #'s are (323) 735-8866 at home and (213) 804-7899 in the car.

 

I'll be there a bit early so that I can eat something (I'm very hungry right now and imagine I'll only be moreso at 8 pm).

I've got a tideland green prius and if you're looking for me inside I'm a rather pale and freckled woman in my thirties, short red/brown hair and probably wearing black.

Unfortunately my camera is in NY right now so someone else will have to photograph the event.

 

Doh! Found out too late, but the timing was bad for me anyway. Maybe next time. Hey pshady, I saw a new Salsa in the Monterey Park area over the weekend. I wonder if he/she is here on PriusChat.

 

I was in Monterey Park late on Saturday afternoon. Where did you see the Salsa?

 

I saw the Salsa going south on Fremont. So technically in Alhambra, heading towards Monterey Park. It eventually continued towards Monterey Pass Rd., which is in MPK.
