One thing I REALLY hated about being the organizer of this event is that I missed out in things like the massive caravans and things of that nature. I know caravans seem like they are lame to some folks (like non-car people), but cruising on the freeway with 200 subies would be fun as HELL! Especially when you are car number 1 and everyone is depending on you to lead them!
A couple years ago I had about 10 subies meet at my house to take stuff up with us and to help with setup... So as we're caravaning on the freeway some E46 M3 and another BMW come rolling past our caravan then the passenger sticks his arm out of the window and gives us a big thumbs down... Then one of the guys throws a CD out of the car and it shatters on my windshield!!!
Needless to say, we weren't happy about that. Almost instantly there were 5 subies in action and boxed the guys in completely... Thats when I verbally assaulted them and scared the living crap out of those guys... 
Ah, the good old days...

I don't suppose you could physically go there and snap some shots of the exact areas where we'd be... The parking lots, the picnic area, and anything else we would be occupying. Get tons of angles so we can see exactly how the park would look if we were there looking at it... The pictures would be our eyes since its too far to go just to see it.
You don't have to, but I'm really interested in that location as it sounds very much like Mt Hamilton.
It's great that they have an extra dirt lot for overflow subies... I don't think anyone would mind parking in a dirt lot in their subies... If they do, they probably shouldn't have a subie.

Oh don't worry, you two are not the only ones that felt this way... I had more people then I could count either come up to me in person and complain or sent me emails/PM's after the event.
Like I said, Quarry Lakes is a good location for a normal meet, but not for our annual one.
Also, I'll def hit you up for DJ stuff... Aaron has helped us in previous years but I don't think he's really into that stuff anymore and wants to just enjoy the meet, and I don't blame him one bit, so yeah, DJs are very welcome. It was sooooo weird not having music last year. It's like the backbone of a festival. Imagine festivals without music... How strange would that be?

yeah, I dont really have any PA system type stuff anymore, so its hard to get stuff out there.
and brucie is right, I'm old now , so I'd rather just kik it.
..and i have to say ixnay on the scratching... its ok with your friends or at a dj battle, but a large group of 300 car ppl just want to hear music, and more then just hip hop, in fact the less cRAP the better.

hey i know a reason that stafford would be ruled out is cuz most folk have to drive.
however:
#1 we get little/to no cop harrasment up here
#2 maybe finally we can get some of these lazy northbay folk out to something. god knows i have tried
#3 stafford lake is a super nice spot. tons of room no parking dues, decent weather, decent drive.
either way i am down but i vote for stafford. i would work extra to get this thing off the ground too. we gotta get soemthign goin in the northbay you know.

compare this to the google satellite 
google http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&sour...=17&iwloc=addr
but it doesn't look like they have enough parking for some reason
