    Well, it seems like a few of you cannot make it on Saturday the 17th. Would Sunday be better for any of you? I can be there Saturday OR Sunday...or both days.

    And would Saturday the 24th be better for any of you?

    I'm open the 24th...

    If it's just going to be the three of us we could wait until the weather gets a little nicer and do a "maintenance" meet like the VW folks do. Even if it's just oil changes and what not, I think it's kind of fun to have other owners around while you're actually doing some work. I'd volunteer to host at my place.

    I'm a stone's throw from Fort Lewis, and there are definitely some publicly accessible areas that might make for a decent group photo shot. Not neccessarily all that scenic, but free of buildings and roads and other vehicles at least.

    I think Fort Lewis is closer to John, too.

    So, John, wanna do a rain delay until spring? Meet up around the Fort Lewis/Tacoma area instead of Seattle? I only suggested Seattle because:

    1) I live here!
    2) I thought there were more VXs up here than actually responded to this thread
    3) I know some cool areas for photos. And food.

    If we get three (or more, dammit) VXs running around near Fort Lewis, peoplewill think we're doing some top-secret military maneuvers!

    Right on! Two ebony's and a dragon in a convoy will surely attract some attention.

    I'm game for whatever. I thought Seattle might be more central if we had folks coming from Portland and Vancouver, but whatever. We might get more responses once the weather warms up a little.

    I'll be honest, with the lack of reponse and the crap going on at the emerald green VX thread, I'm getting kind of, oh never mind, whatever. I think I'll spend my energy elsewhere

    I could be in.

    My VX has been sitting under my carport. The RX-7 has been getting all of the attention lately.

    It would be GREAT if you could make it, JAFO! I got a lot of inspiration for my own Ebony VX from YOUR gallery.

    Keep your eyes on the skies. We may still be meeting on Saturday, 2/17...rowhard, kpaske and I are up for that...but if OTHERS can promise to meet up on a different Saturday, we might be able to bump it a week or three.

    Littlewing2 is getting some old-time rock and roll on Feb 17th. Bulldoggie wants a different day, too...and a meet closer to Portland! Baxman's going to the BEACH that weekend.

    So, it's up in the air. We COULD move the meet to, say Olympia...right between Portland and Seattle...and hold the meet in early March. Or we could just up and move it all the way to Portland. I like the drive.

    LET ME KNOW, PEEPS. How about if those of you who CANNOT make it on February 17th give us a list of times/places that you COULD meet, and we'll do one of those consensus thingies?
