I was too busy cooking to meet most of you. Oh well next time, we are already planning next year.

I would love to see it be a swap meet too.

I would love to see it be a swap meet too.

As long as it stays an informal GTG/BBQ atmosphere that part is easy. Just lay out the parts on a section of grass, kick it in the shade and let folks browse.

Once it steps into a reserved sellers section/ judged car show then it gets to be a pain in the ass. I have been involved in more than a handful of shows and I dont really like setting them up. In my opinion it is better to leave with a smile, a sunburn and a belly full of burgers and dogs than it is to leave with a trophy from a car show and/or hurt feelings.

Luke, would you like to involved in the planning for the next one? Perhaps a different GTG altogether a little further up north as was suggested for the washington/portland crowd? Perhaps a mixed euro GTG/swap/picnic?

Thanks for doing the grilling ditch, I didnt have a chance to grab a burger, the caffeine and smokes negated my hunger.

Trent, thanks so much for grilling.

Whoever brought the Red Hots, my toilet and stomach are both pissed at you, but they were tasty.

Trent, I would love to be involved in setting up a bigger meet/greet/swap meet thingie...maybe even some games and stuff, I dunno.

Any ideas where? Wilsonville through Junction City seems like it to me, but I would be willing to do something in PDX or VanWa too.

We do have Joshiefest coming up soon, too.

I cant wait for Joshie Fest. That was a blast. I hope we get to repaint the parking lot again....... In case any of you forgot our handy work...

I feel so damn out of place with my E36, I think I am going to have to save up some green and get myself an E30.

I would be in.

Yeah, but that thing is gorgeous. I would say it would be welcome at any E30 meet outside of the Picnic.

good meet guys I found myself once again wanting to buy a E30 m3 but a house will come first

[gedupsound]
