When I put the car up on a lift, I noticed my steering gear is leaking in two places. That's not it, the inside of my rim got a freakin' nick in it!!!! SO, count me out for Sat. cause I don't think everything will be fixed by then I'll definately be at the EOS meet. This sucks. I hate car problems.

The most they can fit around a table is 8 people. That's 3 tables we'd have to reserve and that's already half of the restaurant. Yes, it's a small place.

Is this for members only? Can we take our significant other?

Okay on this...

Once we pick a restaurant, then we'll get a final headcount.

I voted Japanese cause I love sushi , but for those people not familiar with the restaurants and food choices available maybe we could say what type of food each place serves?

Also how about typical price ranges?

I know Olive Garden prices since it is a chain style restaurant, but how about the other choices? Sushi prices are pretty varied around here (south bay)


Buffet City has a large room upstairs...it's a buffet, all you can eat place...has American, Japanese (sushi) and Chinese stuff.

Who wants to join me for the SouthBay/Mtn. View/Fremont - Caravan up to Pleasant Hill/Concord?

It's a pretty much straight shot on 680 from SouthBay. For the folks over in the Sunnyvale/Santa Clara/Mtn. View, you can hop on 237 and meet me over at Starbucks (Christy St.) just off of 880 (Auto Mall Parkway) in Newark/Fremont and we just shoot straight across Mission College Blvd. over to 680 and straight shot to Pleasant Hill/Concord.

Let me know and I can keep a running track of this Caravan.

thanks...teeman3
Hey TeeMan! Im up for that caravan from the South Bay to the East Bay!

I voted for Buffet City! I think I might have a big appetite that night. Im planning to eat so much Im going to have to sit down for a couple hours before I go home.

Default Buffet City Restaurant Review

This is the place I had my mind set on only because I know I will be getting lots of food! But when I tried to visit their website to kind of get a general idea of what it might be like I had stumbled onto this review that made me want to change my mind and go for Olive Garden instead. You can check out the review on the link below:

That report was from 2004. I was actually there last week and the food wasnt bad. The selection was ok and I didnt notice anything gross. At the same time I was starving so that might have affected my way of thinking. Whoever is ever near there should check it out for lunch since its only like $8.

Oops... I am very sorry that I can't make it on the 26th.
I will be on a business trip in SoCal region for EndlessUSA dealer meet.

NO~~~~ WHAT SHOULD I DO......................................
I want to meet you guys but these 2 events are on the same day, and that will be the only chance I can make more new friends before the EOS.


Someone please remove me or change my status to "maybe" on the list please, because my bus-trip is not comfirmed till 19th. Sorry and many thanks!

Sigh..... (crying, hidding, and licking my wound now)

Sorry - reason I don't sign up for EOS is because I will be in Vegas for my good friends B-day the whole week. Plus I have never been to Vegas.
I will try to work sometime out. My flight gets back in @ 11:00am. I can leave the airport and just go right over there from SFO.

Ouch Chan, SFO to EOS?

Well if you want to sign up and be eligible to order Tees and possibly karting laps, you should still sign up. The Tee order availability will be announced soon.

Sounds like it might not be the best situation for you to make it in time to catch the end though.
