What: Middle of the Year meet.

Where: Castaic Lake, California

When: June 26th, 2010

Why: Because we need one grand summer meet a year!

How: Brought to you buy the good people of 6GC

*Update 5/4/10* Haha, somehow the first page got wiped clean, so I have to redo the updates again. Hopefully those of you who have followed the thread has got the info down already. The location has been reserved and paid for. The t-shirt designs are being finalized. Pictures of people's Celica have been collected. Model has been booked. Events are being finalized. Caravans being organized. Gee, have I forgotten anything? Well, that's what updates are for .

*UPDATE 5/9/10* Okay, so all confirmed attendees (as of 5/9/10) can expect a free t-shirt plus one additional freebie. You can still show up to this event if you did not confirm, just don't be bummed out when you see the cool stuff you missed out on 'cause you were too lazy to send me a confirmation! A small lunch will be offered, drinks and snacks. I'll have to make up the itinerary again.

*UPDATE 5/18/10* I've uploaded pics and the map of the place. There is a specific parking lot we want to hit before anyone/everyone else parks there. The park/bbq area I reserved is near lot #5. There's more than enough space for our +35 cars, but we still need to get there early to prevent other people from parking between all of us (early arrivers should "block" people from parking near them). Like I said before, there will be a lite lunch served (drinks, snacks). I'm still trying to find a place that can accommodate +40 people, so be patient. Hometown Buffet is the best place (so far) and it's about 15 miles away. A BBQ is still not out of the question as sunset is around 8PM so that would give us plenty of daylight to do some serious cooking...but I'd prefer a more relaxed setting for the closing part of the meet. Oh, and there IS a parking fee. I believe it's $8 (or something like that). So bring money you cheapo's! Lastly, all members who confirmed will be getting the free MotY t-shirt (and I think they kick serious arse). Those who show up (who didn't add themselves to the list) can get any left over shirts. The "premium" shirt will be sold for $12 at the meet. You can get one sent to you for $15 after the meet if you didn't bring money. Senior Tip is working diligently on making the final touches on it and I will post a pic of it as soon as he's done. Lastly, someone let the cat out of the bag about the...awards...at the end of the meet *cough* Andrew! *cough* *cough*. To those who didn't attend FotY, there were things that were handled out at the end of the meet who those who stuck around to the end (which was everyone!). This was intended as a "secret" bonus for people who showed up...but I might as well make a formal announcement of it now since this info was made known to some others already. Anyways, with little more than a month left before the (biggest) 6GC meet ever, let's all get ourselves and our cars ready. I'm looking forward to meeting each and everyone one personally (as well as their cars)





*UPDATE 5/24/10* A few things. For those who are not familiar with Castaic (or not from SoCal), please be advised that it will be HOT. So plan on wearing comfortable clothing such as shirt/t-shirts, shorts, etc (jeans probably will be okay, ladies may wearing skirts but beware the howling winds). A hat would be a good idea too. But bring a sweater/jacket for the evening as it can get cold/windy. Considering the magnitude of this meet, we are going to skip the restaurant idea for dinner and instead go with a BBQ instead. There was too much complications with reserving enough spots for +30 people at a restaurant, coordinating the +30 car caravan to said restaurant, etc. So a BBQ is now being planned. Bring whatever you would like to share, but the core essentials will be handled by the event coordinators (drinks/supplies/food). At the last meet, the BBQ worked out fine, so we shouldn't have a problem this time around. In regards to the caravans, to those who would like to join in on the NorCal and SoCal caravans, if you can make it, that's fine. But logistically, if it is going to inconvenience you to join one of the caravan, it might just make more sense to start your own from your location. So far there's the NorCal one meeting up in Tracy. SoCal is meeting where the 405/5 meets (I believe it's near Burbank). But if you're in a place that just doesn't make sense to caravan, by all means arrive on your own (we promise not to make fun of you for being a loner). Finally, Castaic Lake is a large park that has a lot of activities. You can fish, there's a sandy beach, paths for biking, etc. So you can spend the entire day hanging around the meet area or wander off and do your own thing for awhile (although try to stick around so you don't miss out on the activities/announcements).

Oh, and the 4 events are as follow

- timed puzzle challenge
- driving/parking skill challenge
- 6GC/MotY quiz
- scavenger hunt

Itinerary:

11:00AM - 12:00 Registration/roll-in

subscribed to this thread. looking forward to a warmer weather meet.

[Random_Stranger]

been trying to put together an annual for June, but this can work...

[johnnehh]

Dang. Looks like I'm gonna have to actually wake up early and drive for this one. Haha.

[dabazied]

Woot woot for a meet that I'll be back for.

[ajmorris1977]

Hey guys,

So after a successful turn out for the first ever FotY meet in CA, MotY is now being planned out for this summer. The date and location hasn't been determined yet, but most likely it will down south, probably closer to the LA area and most likely in the month of July. So plan ahead, get your car ready in the next few months, and get your butt there! And of course, expect the same sort of meet as FotY except it will be warmer and hopefully with at least 20 member this time! So keep tuned in and check back occasionally for updates.

i'm in, the last one was a blast, i just hope i can get the front end done and painted by then......

[benzo]

YES!! I'm sooo down. please have it close to la, cause i have family there.. or close too..

last meet was awesome, so count me in!!

[CelicaST_CALI]

Ill be there...

[Aznbcrzy]

Im down like jay sean and lil wayne

[BonzaiCelica]

Can't wait. Hopefully my celica is complete by then. if not then I wont be able to make it till mid august....

[MaskedMan]

Can't wait. Hopefully my celica is complete by then. if not then I wont be able to make it till mid august....

What still needs to be completed on it?

[BonzaiCelica]

you'll just have to wait and see..

[MaskedMan]

you'll just have to wait and see..

But I won't be able to see it if your car isn't able to make it to the meet .

[BonzaiCelica]

true that. only time will tell

[windowlicker]

faust and i were talking about this yesterday, and we're coming up with ideas of what we can do for the meet to break up the usual parking lot meet and make it a little more fun, but not too complicated. still in the development stages of ideas, but lets just say we came up with some realistic ideas that will make this a great meet and well worth the drive for people that are not local. i've already been thinking of how to get some great video and photos.

stay tuned in, as when we work everything out, we'll post it up.

[nics]

why dont we do it in LA?

[benzo]

can't be right in the middle of la of course.. gott be somewhere on the outskirts where there is room to do what we wanna do..

[windowlicker]

nics, thats part of our idea. we really want to make the meet a good one so that people that drive down feel that the trip was worth it.

[nics]

same spot chris?

[windowlicker]

actually no. trying to mix it up, want to keep it fresh.

[nics]

can we do it around may so its not too hot?

[Random_Stranger]

can we do it around may so its not too hot?

Actually Summer is a good time, although I have been wanting to set up something official in June so it is sort of themed and always anticipated. 6gc in the 6th month (June). That way summer has kicked in, it isn't as hot as July or especially August (as we know cars tend to fail in the hotter seasons and long distance trips).

Also, setting up a route on a time schedule will be helpful. Some of us tend to be late and it holds the rest of us back. From previous meets, most of us have ate up most of the day sitting in the parking lot waiting for everyone. This time, we want to get the most out of our meet. So we plan on setting up a mapped time schedule for the spots we will be hitting up, location, and the time we are expected to be there. That way if you are running late, you can meet up with the rest of everyone at one of those check points. Also, you will know exactly what we are doing and where we are doing it at, so there is no confusion.

From previous meets, we have been waiting on people only to later have them call us back and say "Hey, just tell me when you get to the final spot", which sucks because everyone was waiting. This appears to be the best way to go about it, so approximate times given will help with the confusion. I recommend for any of you attending this meet to (once the final solution is posted), to make sure you copy and print the schedule to avoid confusion, take something to navigate or the numbers of people on here you can rely on in case you seek direction.

I am really looking forward to this, as the days are longer in the summer, so we have plenty of time.

[MaskedMan]

Faustino, I appreciate it that you are coming up with ideas with windowlicker. And I also understand since you decided not to attend the Foty meet, that you wouldn't understand what the Moty meet would be about. It is not just standing around in a parking lot, so don't get the wrong idea.

Scheduling and events are already being handled. We are already working on a very tight time schedule, so just sit back, get your car ready prior to the meet, and show up on time is all we ask. If anyone has any special needs, then please bring it to the attention of either CAMAricer or myself, and we will try our best to accommodate for you.

Nics, the reason we will not be hosting the meet in LA is because this is an ALL California meet. You have to take into consideration that there will be people driving all the way from Sacramento or possibly further just to attend this meet. Another reason we would like to avoid LA, is because we would like to avoid traffic as much as possible. Trying to keep a large group of 20+ cars together in a busy traffic area has proven to be too difficult in the past. But we will be hosting the Moty meet in SoCal, because the Foty meet was held in NorCal. So the Moty meet will not be too far of a drive from LA, considering that you will have people driving 5+ hours from up North.

So people just stay tuned. Also, please refrain from posting any unconfirmed information unless it is posted or approved by the event host (CAMAricer). Any unapproved plans that are posted will only clutter the thread and cause confusion for other members if it conflicts with the actual event itinerary.

Wow... Ok then.. I was just saying since nothing really confirmed has been updated on here yet... but ok..

[ajmorris1977]

i agree 100%, the last meet i drove to down in L.A. was as Faust said but even though i was late to the Foty meet in Isleton is was so well organized that we still had a wonderful time and there was never a dull moment, i have full trust that CAMAricer and Maskedman have this well under control. i can't wait.....

[MaskedMan]

Nothing is 100% confirmed yet, but we would still like to try and keep the thread as organized as possible. Suggestions are always welcome, I don't want you to think that we are completely shooting you down. It would just be better to discuss it with CAMAricer via PM as much as possible, so that people will not have to scroll through 15+ pages of discussion, just to find out what the official agenda for the meet will be.

Thank you for your support AJ. With the extended daylight and the warmer weather, we are hoping to add a better variety of events and photo opportunities.

[nics]

im down anywhere. i guess its about time for me to pay a visit a location away from socal

[windowlicker]

so is it just you(derrick) and camaricer that are planning this event? i thought it would be nice to have people from their region plan an event. that way people who are familiar with their area can share some of the great spots they know about. it would be kinda weird if i planned a norcal meet, cause i don't know much about the area. i had some great ideas that were actually very practical and realistic, but if you already have plans set then whatever. i'm just thinking that if we have different people, but serious and organized people plan different events, then it could make each meet a little more unique and interesting to go check out.

[CelicaST_CALI]

windowlicker,derrick and nam are originally southern California members..so im sure they know their way around down there...

yeah me and my 4 buddies who came with me were all astonished at how well the meet was organized. i have full 100% faith in CAMAricer and Maskedman for the next meet.

I want it to be as soon as possible tho.. as im NOT a fan of the heat.

[dabazied]

This coming from Faust? lmao......

But yeah, ummmm, honestly, plans are great and all but feels kinda rushed and almost never works out according to plan. I'm down for whatever, but flying by the seat of your pants and having a general guideline definitely worked great in the past(minus a few ppl holding us up by being late, hint hint). But that can be avoided by having a nice little general guideline

Oh, and Derrick, my input and stuff is, are you going to try and do a "dry" meet? Us so-cal peeps like us some good alcohol, in moderation of course. If nothing else I could just mainline it and set up a nice IV drip behind my seat Anyways, if you have some not set in stone plans so far, why not share, that way majority can throw in some input and we can get a feel of what's going on through those heads and throw some ideas out there so everyone can feel they had some input in the meet other than just showing up. Plus, I agree with Chris on the whole Norcal plan theirs, with input of the other members, Socal plan theirs with input of other members. Just works better that way and it's kind of a cool way to have everyone active in this thing, it'll hold interests better than just, oh, this is what we are doing, show up, ya know? ..... And no initial meet at that Barnes and Noble in LBC. That was horrid.

[ajmorris1977]

i hope this thread gets cleaned cos it would be a shame to loose potential guests to this confusion, i will say my 2 cents and shut up and wait for more info from the event HOSTS CARAricer and Maskedman.

i understand the thurst for info but all i need to know is where and when to show up as having been to the last meet i know it will be extremly well organized and fun with games and prizes for all, the HOSTS have asked that any suggestions be sent in the form of a pm not posted to the thread but still it keeps going, trust me guys these two know what they are doing and don't need to be second guessed. just wait for info and know this will be a great day.

as for the "dry meet" i don't think it needs to be said, drinking and driving is not recommended in any form let alone when there is 20 or so cars drawing attention to you but if you need to drink i hope it would be handled sensibly.

so i close with this, CAMAricer and maskedman know what they are doing so let them do it, quit posting up negative comments and trying to take over, they will research and have the perfect location and have a full event itinerary for us and will have us talking about how great it was for months after.

[nics]

negative comments

[CAMAricer]

Hey guys, I see a lot of comments and concerns about this meet. But mostly....actually, it's all from people who did not attend the first of the year meet (foty). For those who didn't attend, just click on the link that is on the first post of this thread, all the info from the last meet is there. You will get a sense of what happened at FotY and most likely can expect at MotY. Of course it will be different in terms of location, weather, but the events planned will also be changed as well to keep things new.

I see that there is a lot concern on whether or not people from NorCal are capable of planning a SoCal meet and if it would make sense for people in SoCal to handle a SoCal event. MaskedMan answered it best by saying that this is not a SoCal event but a entire California event that just happened to be in the SoCal area. But I don't want to bore you with too much needless info, so here's the main reasons why this meet is already being worked on and planned by myself and Derrick (with the help and input from others).

1.) MotY is NOT like any of your other typical parking lot meets. Again, please refer to the FotY aftermath thread to see for yourself. So please stop thinking that it will just be meet/greet/pics/food/go home. It most likely will NOT be held in a parking lot at a mall or shopping center but an actual public location for hosting events. The ideal location will be where there is little to no traffic, ample parking spaces, a BBQ pit or grill, wide open spaces for the planned events, and a nice scenic backdrop for pictures. Ha! Try finding a place like this in LA! So consideration for the location(s) is being carefully weighed for all of the above reasons before being selected.

2.) MotY will be based on a time schedule in order to promote timeliness and organization. FotY was suppose to be only a 4 1/2 hour event, but ended an hour later than scheduled (thankfully it wasn't that dark). Even then, with the time spaced out the way it did, we weren't able to go on a cruise or take decent daylight pictures. I take partial blame for this, so for MotY I will be personally responsible for major required items so that the day's schedule can continue as planned. Also, a schedule of events allows others to plan their day completely. Thankfully, summer will give us more daylight to use so I'm sure MotY will run smoother (and probably later) than FotY.

3.) MotY is also a family-friendly event. I've been to far too many meets where one member would bring a guest along (a girlfriend or buddy) and basically either abandons them there, or spends the whole time with just that one person. Not to bemoan the topic, but to show up at a car event and not engage others or participate as a group kind of defeats the purpose of coming to a car meet. This is why there are planned events where everyone, regardless of whether they own a Celica or not (or are even old enough to drive) can participate and not feel like just a lonely spectator. Sure it might sound cheesy and some of the more "cool" members will balk at the idea of joining in, but I'm sure returning FotY attendees will tesitfy on the..."rewards" of partcipation.

4.) Finally, MotY (like FotY) will be the product of hard work, lots of planning, and realistically (and unfortunately) a lot of MONEY. And not just for those planning this event, but for everyone who has to drive +400 miles (one way!) to show up for a few hours then drive back that same day...there's a lot at stake here. You're talking about $80 on gas (both way), $40 for a hotel and another $25 for food. So to make things easier (and less painless) the cost of things like T-shirts, essential supplies/food, awards will be covered by the event hosts. We don't ask for reimbursements, collect fees, or take donations (although volunteering for the BBQ was how we did FotY). Attendees are just asked to show up and enjoy the days events. And honestly, what more could you ask for?

So I hope this answers many of your questions on how and why MotY is being handled by only a few people. We don't want too many cooks in the kitchen or too many backseat drivers. Just keep checking the 1st post on this thread for continuing updates. Again, MaskedMan and myself are open to ideas and suggestions and will most definitely be asking for extra hands to help out at the meet itself. But rest assured that you are in capable hands

[johnnehh]

That was a good read, and all of it's true.

YOU BETTER HAVE BROUGHT BACK BLINDFOLDED PARALLEL PARKING! ME AND CHRIS WANT ANOTHER SHOT! haha.

[ZEROCOOL]

im down

[mmmchocolate]

ugh i would love to hit a meet on the west coast sometime. ill be done with school and graduation by then...who knows what'll happen, ill keep those days open, maybe i can swing down for a few days...

[MarcoGTS]

Long time no see and talk everyone! Well sounds like a good meet, count me in! I havent been to a 6gc meet for the longest time now and I would love to meet new members since the old crew had to move and or change to a new car.... anyways we can always have our first usual meeting lunch spot at the buffet place near my house since there is ALOT of good free parking spaces. and then wherever after that..... well whatever works for CAMAricer and MaskedMan!

[mak5603]

Hey Tip, let us know when you'll be home or better yet, if you have a phone now. I'm free for a day or two this week, but I have to head down to LA later this week. We still have plenty of time so if I don't see you before I leave, then I'll see you when I get back . I would really like to see how you are doing and how your Celica turned out. Can't wait to see what you drew out too, I bet it's going to look amazing. While I'm there, we can take some pictures of your car because Nam needs some pictures of everyone's Celica before the end of the Month.

Wow, looks like we're about to see something really special...carbon roof!?! Let me ask Derrick if he's free sometime this week, we'll head on over to take a look at the car and shirt design. I'm curious to see what you've come up with. The design I had in mind is pretty generic (but a better than the 1st).

BTW, Derrick what was wrong with my list, huh? How come you liked markie's better than mine ('cause he stole it from me!)...racist....

Since Tip is picking up his car on Tuesday, I think Wednesday sounds like a good day to head over because I have to head down South on Thursday. We can go over and help Tip put up some pictures and what not.

I liked markie's list because he copy and pasted a list, and added his name to it as a post. That makes it easier for you to see the most updated list of who is showing up. So instead of individual people posting "Add me to the list", (which can be hard to find while scrolling) we have a full list to look at and people can just add their name on the end of it. If people were to just post "add me to the list" then we would have to scroll through every page to read every post and find each person one by one. It's just more of a convenience to use a posted list to update the first page list, if that makes any sense. Because sometimes people aren't clear as to whether they want to go or not. Sometimes people will say something like, "looks cool, Celica power! ", and then like... we aren't sure to add them to the list or what, because seriously, wth does that mean?

I ment -_- damm my keyboard are we all gonna bring some food like potlucking ???

[MaskedMan]

We will most likely just get something to eat at a restaurant or buffet. It saves us a lot of set up and clean up time if we don't have to cook anything ourselves. There will probably be snacks and such as the meet to keep us energized during the events.

More updates on the 1st page...

Geeze..that list is getting kinda long...I'm going to have to really think about where we can have this thing. Might have to rent out a hall or something and get the food catered The logistics are killing me! But it's all good 'cause this could be the BIGGEST 6GC event ever!

I'm in. I'll give plenty of notice if anything changes, but I don't forsee that. I need to GTFO of here for a while! I'll try to get a decent pic of my car this weekend, although it doesn't look like what it will look like by then. If I don't get a fresh pic this weekend, I'll email you an existing pic.

Anyone know someone who can make a banner for us? With a list growing to +20 members, I feel like an official banner is in order. A meet this size without a banner would be like Clinton offering Tiger some counseling advice... just plain wrong.

So any willing member out there willing to put in the effort to come up with a design and send it to me?

*bonus points to the one who does*

That would have been who to ask to make it, but not anymore. Also not sure if he would be the one to design it. But it's okay, we have capable artists and designers up north. As for where to make it, seems like there are plenty of places online that can produce it.
