Yeah, I definitely put some thought into it - several members were tied up until 2pm, plus several more work until 5-6pm, so 3pm was as close to an ideal time I could find. We'll certainty take photos in that parking lot by Quickly's too before sunset, and the Sybase shoot can be in the dark since it's a parking garage anyway (and the later the better in a way so that any poor Saturday workers can leave). Here is an example shot from the last time we did a Sybase shoot (time was approximately 9pm as I recall):

Can't do much about Asian/Indian/Filipino/choose-your-ethnicity time. I'm hoping that by having the meet at Quickly's all the Asian CL members will be excited to come, ON TIME. Sunset is the ideal time for photos anyway, so with any luck the timing will be perfect.

Hope you make it Josh. You can cover your car in blue painter's tape to keep your WekFest mods secret.

That will be nearly impossible to pull off given the number of cars already signed up and the logistics involved with moving them all to a different city. Maybe save it for a different meet? I know San Leandro has some good spots.

Cool, put you on the list.

You should come regardless of whether or not you have coils. Most of the cars that come to these meets are stock or near-stock anyway.

Brian, you are so friggen organized when you do these meets. Thanks for all of your hard work, the maps, calling the establishment, EVERYTHING! And I for one appreciate the time that you set for this. I get off at 1pm that day and will finally be able to make it. I have to wake up at 230am on Sunday so having it early allows me to come.

Thank you, Brian.

I think I can make it to this meet. Put me and my "stock" 2IS down as tentative.

Tentative usually means showing up an hour before the meet like your last one.
