Possible new location for So Cal BBQ meets
ok guys i recently went to the last bbq meet, and to be honest, it wasn't all it could have been. whoever scouted the park. OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T
parking fee... boo! table location way too far from the vehicles, i don't know maybe it was the dog side of the park but........crap/shit all over the grass getting to table. then only one table.....no good! BBQ grill falling apart, plus wayyy too small. i could go on and on.
the irvine park is cool, been there, nice place, nice grill. plenty of tables but no shade, and the cars are kinda far away.
i recently went on a jog at this park (HEART PARK on the border of Orange and Santa Ana)and thought "hey this would be a pretty cool spot for a meet" i went there today and took some shots for you guys to check out.
positives............
1. close to the 22 freeway (less than a block)
2. no parking fee
3. huge lot plenty of spots to park
4. lots of tables with shade
5. awesome grills (not falling apart)
6. picnic area close to the lot
negatives........NONE
on to the pics
one of the entrances
huge lot, this is just one side
shade and plenty of tables, with plenty of nice grills
the ride
this is just one part of the park, there are plenty more areas like this with tables and grills. VOICE YOUR OPINIONS GUYS

what do they plan to do up in Fresno besides photoshoots? it'll be hot and bright - not ideal conditions to shoot cars to begin with. sure there'll be some bbq'ing, but what else?

この道は毛むくじゃらのマンコだらけ..
scott, there was another lot, past that bridge beyond the gravel river bed, just like the one in the pics only smaller with only one entrance. but still big enough for a meet, i'll check it out today, at like 12-1 pm and see how busy it is.

here is the other lot, pretty big. there are tables shade but...................no grills
someone could bring a weber i've got one i went today at about 3 pm hardly anyone there. maybe cuz of the lack of grills. that might be a good thing.

Maybe this time we can set up some ground rules and some itinerary. Lets not have another un-organized event. possible potluck should be assured.

+1, i still hold a small gripe about the event. i was trying to plan it but someone took over... and i'm fine with that but the "voting" was biased to the fresno location. the majority of the posts STILL are from norcal members. just saying it makes sense. more norcal on the thread> more norcal votes.

Whether upcoming all-Cali event is going to be a big turn out or not, we still need to keep the spirit of the meet going this year so next year more people turn out for the event with awsome location.

We also need to find more 1st Gen CLs out there. Don't matter if its a Grandma driving, or a 16 year old who just got their license, anyone with a 1st Gen CL is more than welcome to the meet. Better to acquaint, that way we get more into the community, as well as to the forums...
...I was kinda being serious. LOL.
Anywho, I'd say we set up Meet Moderators if possible. People who are organize and know whats up with ground rules *cough*scottsr*cough* Know what I mean?
