Default 10/29 - Bay Area Mini Meet - Emeryville to San Francisco AFTERMATH

It was another great meet! The Bay Area regulars and some new faces as well. Weather turned out better than expected from a cloudy foggy morning to clear and sunny skies. Thanks to Glen, Ron, Rolo, Solo, Elizabeth and everyone else that assisted with some of the logistics. Thanks to Jon for those awesome photos...and thanks to everyone for coming out to the "Mini" meet that was about 22 cars strong. We had 18 cars drive across the East Bay to the City in 2 groups of 9. We all made it one piece Through the crazy streets of San Francisco and snaking our way through the Presidio crashing a few weddings in the process. LOL. Bowling at the Presidio was alot of fun. CL vs. my.IS. We will definitely do this again! Took more photos over by Chrissy Field right by some deserted old haunted looking buildings. Saw an at the time unkown CL member with a cleanly modded Silver 2nd Gen GS. Along the way we passed a huge Vespa scooter gang driving through the darkness of the Presidio. Then we saw some people in their costumes walking over to their Halloween parties...one chick was dressed as Laura Croft. We ended the night eating at Chevy's at Stonestown and then we called it a night. Whew! Thanks again to those who came. See you guys again soon!

Here are some pics below taken by Jon (JAEohEN) from our mini meet yesterday:

I will upload my pics when I get home. No time to resize them up here!

Man, let me just say that my blood pressure went up from our 4 car carvaan.....not knowing where we were going, and not having navi, I was sticking to our cars like white on rice,....I counted 3 red lights that I ran...but drunkenfoolio in the NSX running the red light from a complete stop to enter the Presidio was crazy!!! hahaha!

I had a lot of fun, wish I couldve stayed later at the bowling alley, but I needed to leave while there was still light out to find my way out of the city!!! All I gotta say that the next time we do that, Im upgrading to big brakes and going with staggered fat setup...cause them SF streets and hills are BRUTAL!!!!

Thanks to everyone for organizing this meet, and it was good seeing everyone again from the EOS meet. Give me about two more of these, and I'll actually start remembering everyones real names (vs. screenames).

That was definitely alot of fun!
Great to see all you regulars and meeting a lot of the new folks. Wish I had a chance to talk to everyone more...oh well, we just gotta have another meet soon, right?

It's funny...it takes a SoCal guy to get us NorCal people to meet up Thanks Ryan for setting this up. Let's do this again soon and if we decide to go bowling, I'll be sure to bring my magical blue ball, hahaha.

Great pics Jon! I'll post mine later when I get a chance to resize some of them. Rolo and I captured some interesting elements in our pics...there were definitely "others" out at Chrissy field nearby that we couldn't see muahahahaha! We should probably throw those into a Halloween CL thread! lol

Glen left the meet before we got around to the group photo and Liz well she's a little camera shy.

Hey Mark, sorry for making you guys run those lights to keep up with me. I did stop to wait for you guys on one or two of those. It was kinda funny crashing that wedding with our 4 car caravan and then the other 9 car caravan Ryan was leading. I guess the Nav is a bit off.

It was great seeing some of you guys again. Liz you're a savage for managing to get across a few lanes of traffic and making that exit I was scared that we had lost you. Thanks Jeff for putting my chipped lip on blast now I have to get it repainted lol. Good thing I didn't go with you guys to that haunted place...it looks pretty scary......
