Oct.'05 Meetup: Replacement thread.

That seems about right. Just to clarify for everyone. The meet-up is Oct 30 at 2pm on Crissy Field. You can find and respond to Evite here.

If you want to repost the evite somewhere else, feel free. Here is the URL:

I have a prize comming in the mail to give out to the costume contest winner.

Also, I think it would be good to get some pictures early on, but I think our best pictures will come right around sunset, which I think will be 5:45 or so. Should we make the meetup earlier? Even making it 1pm will give us more time.

Now that the forum is back, we can all post ideas we have for stuff to do. Does anyone have sugestions or ideas? I'm about to write a letter to Toyota and see if they can send out a representative to talk to us about anything on the car we have questions about. I know it's a long shot, but it can't hurt right? Is anyone else interested in that?

 

can u make the evite list public? =) i'd like to read ppl's responses, etc.

 

I was debating on that. I made the guest list public. The main reason I had kept it private was to protect people's identies, but perhaps I was being a bit paranoid.

So does anyone have suggestions of something to do other than the costume contest?

Has anyone made a flier? I was going to, but then I got busy. I was planning on making one tonight. I think we should all print up fliers and keep them with us so we can tuck them under the edge of the hood or roll them up in doorhandles of Prii we see. Aparently it is illegal to tuck them under the windshield wipers!

I'm getting really excited!

 

flier would be good--could u customize the evite URL (there's an option somewhere) so it's friendly? heh re: http://www.evite.com/pages/invite/viewInvi...YSEYPUQMOHUAGGQ

 

I had been trying to figure out how to do that, but kept comming up short. However i just ifigured out how, so the url for the evite is now:

http://www.evite.com/[email protected]/prius

I think this will be much easier to manage. Thanks for the memory jog DaveDog.

 

if anyone wants to use/modify/edit/suggest/print this, feel free.

i'm printing a few, leaving them in my prius, and when i see another prius or want to spread the news, i can hand this out or leave it on a windshield.

 

Thanks for making that flier DaveDog!

I made one myself, it is much much more basic than yours. Since you had the fancy color image flier covered, I did a plain text, black and white flier, that is half a page. Anyone who wishes can print them up and hand them out. I have some in my purse and some in my Prius so I can pass them out as I see fit.

This is getting pretty exciting. Perhaps we should start talking about food options . . . what are people interested in? I'm guessing finger foods, and something simple. Perhaps a lunchmeat and cheese platter with bread and crackers? Chips and 7 layer dip? Cookies? Cake? A Prius cake? If anyone wanted a cake with a silk screened Prius, that might be doable, but I'd need others to chip in. What do you guys think?

 

Hi. I have a new screen name. Former one too long---I got tired of seeing it.

 

C'MON, FOLKS---please sign up with EVITE!

Remember I said before we should look at the situation around the 12th, then discuss an alternate date if attendance looked slim? Hmmm? Hmmm?

Well, kiddies, it's the 13th!

I'm going to start a stupid thread, just to have something occasionally in view on the front page.

 

I think we should go ahead with the meet up as planned, despite dismal replies. I'll start PMing memebers who had showed intrest in the past asap. I'm at work right now, but when I get home I can start.

I've been tucking fliers in door handles all over the city as well, and even though it asks people to RSVP on evite, they probbaly won't. Even if we have a low turnout, I think we should go ahead and do it. It will be a good starting off point for us to get ideas for future meets.

Besides, I already got the prize for the costume contest!

 

Hopefully, some are just waiting to see how their other "life components"---and the weather forecast---shake out before committing---

AND RISKING THE UNDYING, ETERNAL, EVERLASTING, GRISLY WRATH of the rest of us if they don't show. IN COSTUME. Bearing food THAT I LIKE TO EAT.

I'll nervously start tracking the weather next Tuesday.

 

Just my two cents, but it might be the costume that is scaring many away. I for one decided against going because of the costume. Now I already have other plans.

 

Too bad. We said early on, "costume optional".

 

I don't recall the optional part. In any case, it would still be a costume party and many will just say no. Either because they don't want to be in a costume or be one of the few without one.

 

Unfortunately, the post(s) containing "optional" were lost in the crash, and I didn't remember to re-post that item Sorry, if it affected the outcome of you not joining us. I mean it.

Heck, I may be one of the few sans costume. Depends mostly on my mood---and a little on the weather.

Sure you won't come? It'll be once-in-a-blue-moon photo day---if nothing else.

("Yeah, see that bit of gray front end poking out through the fog? That's MY Prius!")

Heh.

 

If my current plans get cancelled, I would love to go.

 

My, my aren't we laid back here by the beautiful Bay?

I'm going to kick this up a few times and see if it hooks anyone.

 

I reposted the announcement on the Yahoo groups. Maybe a few m,ore will just show up.

 

Just a reminder to everyone that tomorrow is the big day! I'll be there early setting up, and I hope I'll see you all there! Don't forget about the time change tomorrow, we have to fall back. See you all at 2!
