it would have been fricken awesome if the knights rode out on their horses and kicked us out that way. Holding their lances and having their squires walk by their side with their horns. If they had kicked us out in that manner, i would have applauded them and driven away admitting defeat knowing that they truly were better men.

My input:
First and foremost, I thank all of you who have supported this little online community we like to call ClubLexus of Southern California. I truly enjoy your company, and your efforts in making meets like this interesting and memorable.
Second, I do have to admit that I did not know that Medieval Times had a permit for the lot that day. Had I known, I would have chosen a second location in mind. I had never had any problems with this location before in the past, and now that we are all aware of the fact, we shall enjoy our meets at another location for future Presidents' Day Meets. I love to patronize Po' Folks and Starbucks, and I hope that you also continue to use their businesses.
Third, since Medieval Times did have a permit, I respect their authority over the lot. However, I am extremely disappointed with the disrespectful behavior and attitude of the Manager that presented herself to our meet. Her actions have tainted any good light that I have for Medieval Times, and unfortunately, their business will suffer due to the dozens of CL members she alone disrespected. She did her job as a manager, but she did not do her job in customer service. She could have simply asked us to leave, but instead, she disrespectfully used brute force without any warning. For this, I hope she realizes that Medieval Times lost dozens of potential customers from our meet, and will share this incident with all those that ask us about their unsavory business.
Fourth, to all those who were parted from the original meet, I hope that you enjoyed the company of other CL members that continued to make the day a pleasant one. I myself enjoyed the meet until the late hours of the night, spending time with CL members in various locations and activities. I hope you all had a fun day, even after the fiasco.
In conclusion, I wish all of you peace of mind that our future meets will be bigger and better. We as a community need to work together to find the best places to meet; know the right people to invite; and make the most out of what we've got, which is the company and enjoyment of each other, as well as the passion and artistry of our beloved rides and toys.
Cheers!
