According to the weather people it's going to be wet for our meet.

Will there be any sort of shelter at the meet locations?

I have an easy-up instant shelter that can be used for our meet but it won't fit in my car.

Just wondering....

What would you guys like to do if it rains? Do you want to move it to the next weekend or keep it the same date? It's a big meet to move the date? Someone else would have to PM everyone that is planning to attend to see if they can come the next weekend. I called the RoseBowl lady this morning and they are expecting rain. She said we could have it the next weekend? I don't care it's up to you guys.

I think we should stick with the date... as benzoboi said weather.com says theirs 20% chance of rain and it'll mostly be just overcast...

Exclamation Achtung!

Attention!

Me and BENZGal have been talking and we've decided to wait until wednesday to see if she'll move the date or not to next saturday which is March 11th. Although a lot of you have already planned on being there on the 4th, don't think it would be too much fun standing in the rain and doing a BBQ. So again we'll wait and see what she says on wednesday. Pls stay tuned and hopefully it doesn't rain. For people who won't be able to attend we do apologize but again you can't really have too much fun when it's raining.

Thanks

I am not planning on changing the date unless we all decide that it would be better. Remember guys that we are having an awards ceremony and BBQ at this meet. It would be pretty lame to have everyone stand out in the rain for this one. I would also guess that many people that have signed up will not come if it's raining? Let's just wait to see what the NWS predicts on Wednesday. If it's raining and people can't come the 11th we could do it the weekend after? It's really up to you guys.

Dont' change the date Angela! There was too much planning involved on your behalf to move the date at the last minute. It would be like moving a wedding at the last minute. I don't know about everyone else but I'm there rain or shine!

No worries I am not going to change the date. It has to be a group consensus! It's pouring buckets in VTA right now and it would suck if it was like this on Saturday. I was just bringing up the date change because some members PM'd me and told me they wouldn't come if it rained. I am up for anything. If it rains then I will require a group hug and cuddle under the small shelter I am bringing. I hate the cold unless I'm on a mountain skiing.

Just a thought but how about if it does rain. Is it possible if maybe we can move the meet to the Pasadena City College parking sturcture? At least we're covered instead of soaking wet.

That sounds like a good idea James, the last one we had at the parking lot was pretty nice.

As usual, I'll arrive fashionably late with Brav and haul *** through the lower parking lot so you hear us thinking it's some hot fast car. lol

Actually the last one we had we almost got kicked out! Certain members did a burnout and well.... Anyway not sure how the other members feel about it but actually just checked and it looks like saturday should be ok. But then again we'll just have to wait and see.

I thought he was going to Vegas? It looks like the rain will stop on Friday night? It's still on.

Reminder to those of you who would like to BBQ. I will have a BBQ on hand so bring your own BBQ stuff. It's better that way so we don't have to worry about collecting money.
