Table for 25? I think so far, between this forum and the Insight forum, we have 7 people committed. Anyone else going that hasn't spoken up yet?

I'm working as a judge for a JROTC event that day. I think we should be done by 3pm. I may be late, but I'll be there!

I'm thinking maybe 15 max. I had a few yes's from insight central, I also got us posted on the Phoenix EAA's web site and an email sent out to all members so we might be a few from that.

At this point, I think we should just roll with whatever because we'll end up throwing ideas out there until saturday morning when no one knows what's going on. I can't guarantee I'll be there right on time, but I'll do my best.

I am pretty sure that's the one I am thinking of. I don't know the address but it's just east of Central on the north side of Camelback. There is a Sweet Tomoatoes just east of that in the same parking lot. See you all there.

Thumbs up Re: Phoenix - Valley of the Sun

What a great time we had last night. There was a connection made with InsightCentral so we had a nice gathering. We met at about 4pm on Saturday, January 21st in a parking lot at Camelback and Central. We spent about an hour and a half meeting each other, talking, and taking test drives. We were even treated to a live demostration of biodesiel. In total, we had just under 20 people of all types and models. It was a very diverse group of people.

John from the Scottsdale Times was there taking notes and talking to everyone. Bar10dah even allowed him to take a test drive of his Accord. I told John to emphasize the lack of a plug and the green nature of the purchase over the tired discussion of ROI in his article.

After, we all had dinner at Applebee's and spent another 2 hours talking about various things including several non-hybrid topics. Applebee's was a great host and even treated us to some complimentary appetizers.

I took a couple of pictures of the parking lot that I uploaded to the gallery. If anybody else took picture, let me know and I can upload them too. Thanks to everyone (thanks Billy6 for organizing the dinner) for a great time. Hopefully, some good friends have been made and that we can do this again sometime in 2006.
