New member Riff Raff from Lakewood Washington, welcome to the obsession. Hey, all you VX'ers in Western Washington, he owns a bar/restaurant in Lakewood, bet we could get some reserved parking if we want to meet for a few brews and lunch. :bwgr:

how far is lakewood..from oregon I5:rolleyes:
125 to the state line, that is the Lakewood exit
I'm not far from Lakewood... what restaurant??
It's the Longhorn Saloon on Bridgeport, the McChord AFB exit., the head west, across from K-mart. Doesn't open till evenings, so a lunch is out.
Hi Gang: Yes, it's me and I just purchased my VX off of eBay and I'm brand new to this website forum. I own the LONGHORN SALOON & RESTAURANT (253-581-2580) in Lakewood (Tacoma), Washington located at 10011 Bridgeport Way, S.W., Lakewood, WA 98499. We are at I-5 Exit #125 (McChord AFB & Bridgeport Way), and about 1.5 miles West along Bridgeport Way, next to T-Mobile. We are open Tuesday -- Sunday (closed Monday's), 5:00PM -- 2:00AM. I would love to "host" a VX gathering perhaps on a Sunday anytime after 5:00PM. The Mapquest website can give you pinpoint directions.
Hey, I know exactly where you are - I've never been inside but I've stopped by the little grocery store next door a few times. Welcome to the club! :)
Sounds like a good spot for a gtg to me!
Perhaps you'd better all...C O M E I N

Give as much lead time as possible...I might drive to WA for this GTG...:smilewink
WELCOME RIFF! :thumbup:
Yikes! Flash-backs... spent nearly all my high school weekends yelling at the screen and throwing rice & toilet paper at that guy. I'm sure Mr. O'Brien owes me a year or two of my life back.
BTW: During my senior year, some unfortunately named guy "Tim Curry" was running for District Attorney (and I understand he's still there). I convinced a very nice old lady that I could borrow her 16-foot banner "Vote for Tim Curry!" for a midnight political rally if I promised to return it in the morning. She had no idea (although I'm sure he wondered why a boa was wrapped around it when she found it in her lawn the next morning).

You may also recall that the LONGHORN SALOON is directly across the street from the Lakewood K-MART. I've owned the LONGHORN SALOON since 1999, and I believe I've seen your rig in our parking lot-- but I believe the VX I saw had TEXAS license plates on it (could that still be you???).
