Hahaha, I don't know?! Come on, I'm a total noob. I wanted to know because I'm driving out from Riverside, and I am debating whether or not to drive back to Riverside and then back out to LA or to just stay out in that area before heading out for the night. Silly goose!

A booty call. Haha, just kidding. Yes, It's a friend's birthday so we're heading out to a club.

What OG's? Original Grandpas?! J/k. Out of curiosity, what's the average age of the people who go to these meet things? My brother is calling me a dork for going. =(

If there's enough interest in people wanting to eat afterwards then we'll go eat. If not then people can just go on their schedule.

Hey guys, I feel like crap

So I probably won't be able to make it. I'm feeling a bit under the weather and I have work tomorrow, so I decided it'll probably be better if I just rest tonight. Have fun though. I'll definitely try to make the next one.

you actually want to make this one. that way you wont feel so timid when the big oc meet comes in october. trust me you want to meet a few people and then have some familiar faces to hang with in the OC. otherwise its a big OMG there is a ton of people and I KNOW NOONE!!!

its also a great opportunity to get your car photographed and put on the net for FREEEEEEEE,
