Good, As I expected....They're coming out of the woodworks. 
welcome, newbies and wise vets. This will be a nice and fun gathering and drive.
As far as compilling in a certain location where we are visible to LE as they pass by or we're cruising along a road/highway, they have no intention to stop us just as the same way we have no intention to cause a major scene in their mighty presence.
I've been to so many meets, cruises and gatherings that there is no need to worry other than not following any posted local/county signs. The public and LE will notice a unique group of cars, but that's nothing new and they've seen this so many times w/ other car/bike clubs out there.
As far as the parking lot scenario, we show up, park, greet and meet, get coffee and a snack, BS to each other, stare at the rides, then leave. It's that simple.
It's when one or two individuals start to behave and do things that will cause the group to become more visible and attract unwanted attention from others considered as "annyoing", then either business owners or LE will step in and requests those actions to cease.
Let's say, they kick us out, we will roll over to another lot. No Biggie.
Plus, it all depends on the time of day, more public traffic, people out and about, weather conditions and other anomalies that can affect people's attitudes towards a large number of cars which may/may not seem suspicious. Just be alert and aware of your surroundings and you all should be ok. thanks...teeman3

As some know I will be at the San Jose Grand Prix for the next 3 days so I will not attend this meet.
You guys are in good hands with teeman as he is one of our "veteran" organizers, so any potential issues or questions it is pretty much "been there, doone that".
Speaking of been there done that, I see SEVERAL memebers signing up for this meet that have NEVER attended a meet previously.
Mr. Tee will be talking to you about that !

Ah I'm real sorry guys, I really want to attend this meet, but a bunch of my high school buddies are coming in from out of town and we have a ritual football game @ 10AM on Sunday... they'll kill me if I ditch that.

My office is 5 min away from the SJ racing route and I am skipping that and closing up the office on Sunday just because this meet, and now you are backing up!
There are the SJ-GP, Gilory Garlic Fest, and money making opportunity for me on this coming Sunday, and I gave away the GP tix, ditched family trip to Gilory, and turned down on my customers....

One more day left to decide. You still have time to sign up.
FYI.....There will be a few mystery guests for y'all at the meet. I thought I might keep it interesting. There have been record number of Lexus cars all in one locaiton meets, throughout the nation in the past few years.
If all goes right, our meet won't be one of those in big numbers, but it will be a unique Lexus meet (possible in the Lexus history books - Is there such a thing?) never done before.
I'm crossing my fingers that they'll show up.
You'll just have to show up and find out. hahaha.....
