View Full Version : bay area meet this 21NOV07 anyone
707E46er 11-20-2007, 02:21 AM hey guys im new here and i have yet to attend a meet but i would like to see if i can get enough people to go so if possible let me know...i check this at least 3 times a day....morn, after, and at night...pm me or reply ..i know this is crazy soon, but im crazy tooo...well laterz...i was either thinking concord or emeryville...any suggestions let me know.
randytt 11-20-2007, 02:52 AM do it in emeryville. and i'll be there 4sho.
edit: well i'd probably be down for concord too.
WTFgerman 11-20-2007, 02:53 AM i wouldnt mind emmeryville if enough ppl show up
jonjon0nline 11-20-2007, 03:22 AM Do it in the evening and either will be fine. Just no Ikea parking lots! The speed bumps there don't like lowered cars...
llegos 11-20-2007, 04:14 AM make it walnut creek and I am down.
EDIT: Night time I will actually be home, so thats the only chance I have.
707E46er 11-20-2007, 05:03 AM looks like emeryville will be ahead for now...where abouts in emeryville, not too familiar, but taking suggestions
707E46er 11-20-2007, 05:04 AM around 8pm ish??
jonjon0nline 11-20-2007, 05:18 AM make it walnut creek and I am down.
EDIT: Night time I will actually be home, so thats the only chance I have.
Walnut Creek would be perfect :D
llegos 11-20-2007, 05:22 AM is that where you live? I said it because its the farthest i would drive for a meet like this, and its just a straight shot up 680 for me
Daddy MO 11-20-2007, 09:19 AM Walnut Creek Broadway Plaza would be best for me but Emeryville would work out too. Broadway Plaza 2 level parking structure upstairs is always a good place to set up (side closer to Macys not Nordstrom). In Emeryville you can do the Hilton (old Holiday Inn) since that lot is never full.
Ill keep checking for 411 on this thread.
707E46er 11-20-2007, 03:36 PM is the hilton good....in emeryville, if so can someone get an address posted..and is 8pm good?

the last couple times i was at the hilton, it was packed, although it was during the day, and there was a convention. plus i think there were speed bumps :shifty... lol.
looks like it is between emeryville and walnut creek. they both are gonna be about the same distance from me, but there is gonna be traffic going to emeryville. i80 FTL!
WTFgerman 11-20-2007, 04:44 PM usually not soo much traffic around that time on 80
btw 707e46er youre in fairfield right lets caravan if this thing works out
Daddy MO 11-20-2007, 09:04 PM Hilton Bay Bridge
1800 Powell Street
Emeryville, CA 94608
http://www.yellowpages.com/info-LMS52039580/Hilton-Inn-San-Francisco-Oakland-Bay-Bridge/maps
If BAY street is not packed, that makes a great photo spot w/ all the shops in the background assuming we can all line up for parking.
randytt 11-20-2007, 09:06 PM cool. what time u guys wanna meet up?
707E46er 11-20-2007, 11:03 PM WTFGERMAN....im not too familiar with wat "lets caravan"...unless that means carpool...or ride out at the same time....well get back at me,....
FOR ALL:.... start showing up at 8ish..at
Hilton Bay Bridge
1800 Powell Street
Emeryville, CA 94608
im not sure who said something about the pictures on bay street, but well discuss this there that night,,,..aight laters
llegos 11-20-2007, 11:14 PM uggghhhhh. 30 miles is pushing it. I probably wont go unless someone will caravan. Is walnut creek out of the question? Its less of a drive for me, and those driving south from the north bay.
motorsports321 11-20-2007, 11:35 PM if randy goes, i might come too
707E46er 11-20-2007, 11:35 PM looks like its in emeryville.....and then again...pleseanton on thursday at the in an out (look at baybimmers.com for more info...)...i wouldnt mind a walnut creek on friday or maybe concord on friday...lets take a poll
707E46er 11-20-2007, 11:36 PM listen up my yahoo s/n is juan_b690 or find me on myspace and ill be on messenger for the next few hours..later....add the @yahoo.com to my yahoo s/n to look me up on myspace
llegos 11-20-2007, 11:48 PM if randy goes, i might come too
let me know if you do. Stop by in pleasanton for me if you do.
looks like its in emeryville.....and then again...pleseanton on thursday at the in an out (look at baybimmers.com for more info...)...i wouldnt mind a walnut creek on friday or maybe concord on friday...lets take a poll
i am at the PINO meet a lot, but i dont know how much a turnout it will be this week with thanksgiving and all.
707E46er 11-21-2007, 12:25 AM you know what i dont think its a good idea cause of that....i just remembered its thanksgiving on thursday./...scratch that idea...
randytt 11-21-2007, 01:15 AM if randy goes, i might come too
oh yess.. i will be there. so u better not be square :D
if gets a couple more people to show up, i wouldnt mind if it was moved to walnut creek. since it makes it a little shorter drive for the southbay people.
llegos 11-21-2007, 01:28 AM walnut creek=shot up 680 rather than 680->580, which has some really shitty roads as far as I know. It would probably be a straighter shot of people are coming down from fairfield as well.
Baoser 11-21-2007, 01:33 AM WTB ride *look at motorsport*
707E46er 11-21-2007, 03:45 AM we can always move it but will be enough time for eveyone to know....plus i dont know where in walnut creek would be a good area...throw out a place and let people know whats up and well make a final decision no later than 12 noon tomorrow,,,the day of..ok..later
an address would help too!
llegos 11-21-2007, 04:10 AM ok, well i am sure there are hotel parking lots there too.lol
randytt 11-21-2007, 04:10 AM Walnut Creek Broadway Plaza would be best for me but Emeryville would work out too. Broadway Plaza 2 level parking structure upstairs is always a good place to set up (side closer to Macys not Nordstrom).

dunno the area. but this was posted.
Rtistik 11-21-2007, 04:14 AM I'll stop by if this is actually going through, depends what time though cause it's going to be crazy leaving SF tomorrow night...come to think of it 880 and 80 are going to be sh*t as well
llegos 11-21-2007, 04:14 AM thats on right off of 680 AFAIK, near downtown.
http://www.broadwayplaza.com/location.asp
Daddy MO 11-21-2007, 09:41 AM Im for moving it to Broadway Plaza. 680 never has traffic anymore by the Benicia Bridge since they opened the new one. Heres a pic of the best parking spot that BTW never fills up. Its close to the Macys side. Im off to work but will check online w/ my BlackBerry since im out in the field today.
Heres a quick video of a meet we put on last Oct. http://youtube.com/watch?v=lH5MprOpinY

jonjon0nline 11-21-2007, 01:17 PM I'd be down for that unless other plans come up. If anyone needs help getting there, post here where you're coming from and I can tell where to exit and turn etc. Try to enter the ramp closest to Macy's (that middle ramp). There are some MONSTER speed bumps by the Nordstrom ramp. The ramps are also pretty steep depending on how low you are, but it's do-able.
llegos 11-21-2007, 01:53 PM jon, 680N->south main(thats an exit right) and then stay on south main until I get there?
jonjon0nline 11-21-2007, 01:58 PM South Main-> Right on Newell -> Left on Broadway.
You were going to the other Parking structure.
LWRNCE 11-21-2007, 02:31 PM hell I will go if jonjon goes. I might bring the bmw but I might bring something else.
randytt 11-21-2007, 03:11 PM I'll stop by if this is actually going through, depends what time though cause it's going to be crazy leaving SF tomorrow night...come to think of it 880 and 80 are going to be sh*t as well
yes, that is why i kinda wanted to move it. getting into emeryville would be a nightmare.
mfanatics 11-21-2007, 04:18 PM I might join you guys with my old BMW:) Can you guys clarify what time and where tonight?
jonjon0nline 11-21-2007, 04:40 PM ^Looks to be on the 2 story parking structure in Broadway Plaza @ 8pm. Traffic shouldn't be an issue at this time.
jonjon0nline 11-21-2007, 08:29 PM So who's going? I'll be there...
LWRNCE 11-21-2007, 08:30 PM i'll be there. Lets do 7pm since it will be dark already.
randytt 11-21-2007, 08:41 PM i'll be there around 7:30.
llegos 11-21-2007, 08:42 PM i probably cant show till 7:30, but I am more than likely down. This is a 2 story parking structure and we are on the to? Jonjon, you have a PM. Can anyone actual get an address for this? cuz I am teh suck at driving places i am unfamiliar with.
jonjon0nline 11-21-2007, 09:20 PM 1275 Broadway Plz
Walnut Creek, CA 94596
You want the 2-story parking structure. The one on S. Broadway and not S. Main.
