May 16th I'll be leaving here headed that way, San Jose'ish, but if you guys want to meet closer to L.A. I'm sure I can add a few miles.
I'll be coming down w/ a bunch of VW's and Audi's, there is a big show that weekend.
I'm looking forward to meeting a lot of y'all, 'cept the name-callers. I just don't get the petty B.S. that has been going on.
