Just got some info from the website...
-grills are not provided in the picnic areas, we have to bring our own.
- if we want to reserve a picnic area, we should call it in. From reading the website they state that Picnic Area E is open to all visitor's(free) but it's on a first come first serve basis. Picnic Area C-1 through C-3 can accomodate 100 people in each section so if we do reserve a spot C-1 through C-3 should hold us(depending on the turnout)
- if we do reserve an area we are allowed to serve alcohol in our reserved area.
I will call them tomorrow to see if section C-1 , C-2, or C-3 are already booked....

Hmm...I think I'm going to open this up to the RL group. I'm trying to keep this simple for now, but if attendance still doesn't pick up by the end of next week, then I'll open it up to all AZ members.

Okay, here's a challenge for you guys: I've looked at the demographics, so far as I can assess on this webpage, and I know that everyone who has signed up for this event is between the ages of 19 and 25. I'm not. I'm a lot older. Of course, however, I'm over that middle aged thing too, and I bought my TSX for many of the same reasons as those of you who write onto Acurazine. My 2005 TSX's only body kit is the 3-M Clearbra. So, what would an old fart like me do at this event? Maybe see how others in the area have up-graded? Maybe getting some tips on TSX maintenance and TLC? Hoping no one offers me a wheelchair? Sounds interesting, but do you think I'd belong?

.stop by enjoy some food/drinks, chit-chat about known problems and fixes, maintenance, and check out what others have done to make their tsx unique.

Sure the ones who have signed up so far are a bit younger than you, but we're all part of the larger Acura family. Just come out and have a couple of good conversations with some good people. I've met a couple of these guys before and the others I've talked to over PM and they seem like a great bunch of guys. I think you'll fit right in.
And if you have a family, feel free to bring them too. This is a park after all and it'll be a great place for your kids (if you have any) to run around.

I've been looking to catch one of these but they always seem to be scheduled so far south. We need a DC/MD/VA meet that is actually in MD. I'd like to come to this but its a bit of a haul.
