Alright cool. I'll try and schedule something there. That would be a good spot. They have a really big parking lot.

The spot isnt the issue. Its keeping it. Any establishment that will still be open is a plus, especially if you have permission. That way if anyone (police) shows up to question you or run you off you can say hey, we have permission (usually a letter) and you can run in and verify that we didnt just make that up (it works well from time to time... not that i advocate misleading the police). Another plus to having the meet at a place that is open is an increase in business opportunity. Granted everyone is cheap and no one wants to pay to go sit in a parking lot... If everyone who showed up grabbed something off say a dollar menu... the establishment would love the meet (think about the $$$$) and would never run you off, providing the people who attend are well mannered and dont trash the lot. The hardest part about a weekday meet (any meet really) is controling the crowd. All it takes is one idiot doing burnouts or donuts and so on (accidental shootings)... and you can kiss your perfect spot goodbye. Just food for thought from a guy who goes all over the bay area to random meets

Yeah, keeping it does seem like an issue. People can't seem to behave themselves and just hang out and have fun most of the time. Business opportunities is a good plus, i'm sure if i tell that to any business especially food companies would love that. Now finding a food business with a big enough parking lot would also be an issue. Most of the fast food places have pretty small parking lots. Well, I'm going to be looking around for a good spot, If you know of any that may work let me know. Thanks for the advice man. Talk to you later.

well, If we can spread around the word enough by next wednesday or the next, then we could do the meet at the seffner wal-mart and it's right down the road from everyone. After we spread the word a bit then we should get a a head count, that way I'll know who all is going to go out there, basically whether not i need to head out there.
