And speaking of caravan, does anyone want to roll down to custom alignment together? TAMR_GUS98, Jimbo, JYGS430 (eh, he's always late), Garcia, Sportcoupe(o wait he's in redwood city), Solo, Al7ezza, Asiangrl007(where are you staying this time)?

But I'm going to have to disagree with whoever said that Koi Palace is way overpriced though, I don't think Koi Palace is overpriced, it's about the same as Flower Lounge and Harbor Village (when it was open). I'd rather pay more for better ambiance and cleaner restrooms. Pricey yes but far from overpriced..and plus I'm not down with sharing a table with cockroaches lol. ![Big Grin](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

The comment I made about paying more for cleanliness was directed towards the pricier dim sum restaurants in general, not just Koi Palace. Koi Palace is definitely on the lower end of the spectrum when it comes to cleanliness but there definitely isn't grafitti on the walls and wet toilet paper on the floor when I walk in. When the Harbor Village Restaurant at the Embarcadero was open I used to go there a lot. The restrooms were TINY but they were always clean. I always judge the cleanliness of a restaurant on how clean their restrooms are and they passed with flying colors. Of course there are going to be places with excellent dim sum but appear dirty, shoot I love those places just as much as the next person! I KNOW you guys go to those places that are open late and you know that you REALLLLLLY shouldn't eat there but that place is just so damn good. But when it comes to dim sum though I would just much rather pay the extra and have a better environment. I like writing down what I want on a piece of paper and having them bring me my dim sum rather than always being on the lookout for what I wanted. Bottom line is, you get what you pay for.
Oh and we like to sleep in the weekends, we can't help but whine about the wait times. But that is why we have reservations.

i always go to restaurant at 9am when they open. you get all the tables for you to choose from, and the dim sum comes to you one by one rather than you fight 20 mins for the dish you want.

Alright James, I did forget you were the first at starbucks that one time.
Drunkenfoolio, it turns out that Tamr_gus98 and I were requested to show up a bit earlier to setup. We are still planning on a caravan but just us 2, if you would like to still come we're leaving at 8am. Let me know i'll give you the details.

Glen,
I'll be there at the custom alignment event and to caravan, I may or may not race. I will be driving down from the Sac/Roseville area if anyone else is headed in from that general area. Will bring the GS for sure, might have my daughter drive the SC as well if we feel like bringing two cars. Bet I can convince her to try the carts. See you on Sat morning! Anyone looking to caravan from Sac let me know.
