In the past typically, its been really slow on the upper ramps where everyone could fit. But I think due to the shitty weather, everyone was out shopping since they could'nt be out in the yards or doing shit at home. You win some, you lose some.

Sorry guys, it was a last minute change due to parking. On the other hand all we did was cross the street.
From now on I'll post my cell number up for situations like this.
My Bad.

West ramp was at 40% fill on top 2 floors .

I put on about 350 miles yesturday and got home about midnight...

Well AT 5PM when the meet STARTED. It was about 80% full. And there were no spots for 25 cars to be next to each other at that time. Which is what we were going for.
I'm not going to have this argument with you, I AM sorry you had to put miles on your car... we all did... but there is no reason to get all huffy about it.

seems like the people that were there on time had no problems finding where to meet, the change of lots seemed to only affect the late comers, which is unfortunate for sure, i kinda figured that would have been a slight problem, but i thought alot of people made it there and it was a good turn out, first meet this summer, im sure the next will be alot smoother:) maybe more people will show up on time

i shoulda thought bout this in the other thread, but what about just over by ikea and we grill? remember last year the huge group trying to get a table at dinner rush. grilling is better cause then everyone stays where the cars are at, the purpose of the meet.
i can supply the eats and charge a small fee to recoup cost if someone can bring grill and do it?

Yes monkey you did. Last year it was a LOT more open up top though, and the one prior to that it was empty. Just trying to keep a tradition consistent.

ya i have never seen the MOA that packed it was crazy, so its not like our location was a bad idea it was just that it was a bad day for some odd reason

Not pissed off , just wasted my time for showing up 25 minutes after 5, plan B i did not know about. 12 miles from the mall no big deal. Contact number for next show is a great idea. Whens the next one? Fast black dent may be blue next time.

Its cool man, I didn't mean to come off rude, just makes me feel bad, ya know?
Working on a cruise for the end of May.

I too have to say the mall parking lot was stupid full. I worked at the mall for 2 years and would have never thought it was going to be that full on a Saturday at 5pm in April. I, like the rest of us was looking forward to being on the top of the ramp.

Live and learn. Have a plan B, post a contact number. Never had a problem before, won't have one again.

Happy to hand out the caps. You all are welcome. No more nasty holes!!!!!!!!!!!

Dammit, missed out on the caps and the stickers!
