Input Needed for Upcoming So. Cal Meet

I know some of you guys are interested in organizing a meet in the May/June time frame so before I do an official announcement I would like to get some input as to what date works best for you guys. Mother's Day weekend is definitely out and so is Memorial Day weekend (I'll be in Florida).

This meet will most likely take place at The VIP Buffet in La Palma, CA. I spoke with family members and they have agreed to do a 20% discount off of regular price for MBworld members. All you can eat and drink (non-alcoholic). The parking lot can hold approximately 100 cars with ~35 more spaces in the adjacent bank parking lot.

Here are the choice of dates with the advantages and disadvantages of each:

        Ling, I'm down for any of the above dates.

        Is the sign up for the Meguiar's detail day already up on the Meguiar's forum?

        Congratulations Jerry.


        Not getting much feedback or votes but it seems like the later date would be best for everyone. I'll give it until the end of the week then do an official post for the meet. Come on people, chime in.

        Well since we're tied up about which dates I think we'll probably end up doing both. Small dinner get-together after Meguiar's on May 6th (I'm going to eat regardless LOL) then a larger meet on June 3rd if people are interested.

        I'll be starting the official thread now. https://mbworld.org/forums/events-gatherings/142377-so-cal-oc-dinner-gtg-may-6th-2006-a.html
