Why hasn't anyone else stepped up to organize these meets anymore? I've had to close every Monday at work this summer, otherwise I'd do it. Hell, I might still do it even if I can't go, provided people will actually start coming...

Looks like nobody wants to go anymore, last 2 times i did nobody else went except 2 others. Our meets were better in colder weather, now that it's nice it should be popping, i don't get it.
The meet is always at the same spot, so there needs no organizing or planning, every Monday at 7pm just show up, can't get any simpler than that really. Check the EG meet thread, hardly anyone commits to going anymore like before. Idk fellas, either you wanna go or not, i don't see why not cuz everyone is pretty chill & cool. Hopefully it'll pick back up soon before summer's over huh!

Also trying to go around an get other geographical areas, sac, stockton, etc. involved in a meet that has hit or miss attendees with no momentum is not a good idea. Most importantly, build a good solid core of people who are in the Elk Grove area. It is the Elk Grove Meet. I know, the Sacramento meet is not titled properly but that's not the point here and another discussion thats been beaten to death already.
After the meet begins to gain some solid traction, if it growing because the EG locals are coming out, you shouldn't have to promote the meet as strong as much. But that doesn't mean to stop updating the thread. Its easy to setup up a meet. Heck anyone can do that, post a place, date and time. But it takes some gentleness, consistency and some work to keep it going.
Then again what do I know, I just plan meets for Nissan heads.
Cliffs: Reoccurring meets require some work as well as variety and geographic oriented meets require locals in that area to be active in that meet otherwise whats the point.

I think that there may be a reason why during some stretches you'll have great turnouts and some times no one showing up at all. Variety is one thing that keeps a meet active. There has to be activity, not just doing the same thing over and over again. It gets boring. If it has to be at the same place, find a place that has multiple places to choose from, (ie. a parking lot that might have a couple of restaurants, a coffee place, etc.) You can meet at that same place, but it give the attendees options. See where I'm going with this.

(not that I have anything against Sac people at all 
). I'm down to mix it up, but we actually get a lot of positive feedback from everyone about the current location.Man have you seen my meet thread/posts cuz i try to get everyone to show but to no avail.Looks like nobody wants to go anymore, last 2 times i did nobody else went except 2 others. Our meets were better in colder weather, now that it's nice it should be popping, i don't get it.The meet is always at the same spot, so there needs no organizing or planning, every Monday at 7pm just show up, can't get any simpler than that really.

If someone new wanted to come to the meet yesterday, they would have had to search through pages and pages of garbage to find the location. We haven't been updating the OP of this thread, so I had been posting up info with a map of where we park and whatnot. But I kinda stopped doing that when my schedule changed, so that's my bad.
Maybe we can have these meets every other week until we get more people coming? So let's figure out when/where the next meet should be and go from there.
