Seattle Meetup - Nov 1, 2014 (Marymoor Park) - Show and Tell

pnwkayaker · Last edited by pnwkayaker on Tue Oct 07, 2014 3:31 pm; edited 1 time in total

I’m glad to announce our next Seattle Meetup at Marymoor. I had a lot of requests for the Fall meeting for this year:

- Should be earlier than the previous years (due to the cold)
- Shouldn’t collide with a Seahawks game
- Shouldn’t collide with the final Sounders home game
- Shouldn’t collide with the september Triple-X Root Beer VW show
- Shouldn’t be during Thanksgiving weekend (too much turkey to process)
- It could be close to Halloween (to reuse costumes I guess?) Very Happy

Hopefully this new date will satisfy some (if not) of those requests

Why/What ?
Brave the elements and come out to Marymoor Park for a Westy Show and Tell Meetup. This is the day after Halloween, so feel free to bring your costumes Very Happy

. The idea for this one is to tell the group a little about your van and perhaps some of the best mods or projects that you have made. Consider bringing some comfort food (chiili, soup, etc) to help you stay warm while we meet. We’ve moved the meeting a month earlier, so everybody could have a chance to talk about Westy projects and adventures without getting frozen.

When
Saturday Nov 1 2014
11:00 AM

Location
Marymoor Park
6046 W. Lake Sammamish Pkwy. N.E.
Redmond, WA 98052

How to find us
"Look for the Westies"

I've talked to the Marymoor Park people and we've been directed to use again Parking Lot I (right off Marymoor Way by the Velodrome), see the park map at the following link http://your.kingcounty.gov/dnrp/library/parks-and-...web_09.pdf

This is the same parking lot as last year. Parking lot I is by a big/flat paved Recreation/Event Area and also close to the velodrome, so bring also bikes/rollers/skates/etc to have some fun! Also, in case you don't know, parking costs $1 in the park.

Background
This is the fourth time we’re having this event. In 2011 we had 50 vans, in 2012 we had 61 vans and in 2013 we had 30 vans showing up (2013 was extremely cold while at the same time the Seahawks were playing the 49ers, so it wasn’t a bad turnout). In all those years everybody had a truly great time.

Thanks for taking the lead on this again for this year. I think November 1st will make for a much nicer meet. The only thing I can think of to make it better would be to have it a little later in the day, (since I usually have a team training ride Saturday mornings, but I can skip it once). Looking forward to 50+ vans (assuming decent weather).

The new date is way better than a "Frozen Fest '14" in December.

I'll be there with the Bavarian Syncro fire truck, IF it doesn't poop out for some weird reason. There might be more bugs to troubleshoot.

I like the earlier date! I'll be there!

I'll probably be there, but it may be just me..

Maybe I shouldn't be saying "Syncro fire truck". It's more of a fire department support vehicle. There's room for 6 in the back, but I don't see how they could get all wedged in there with their gear.

Awesome, I'll be there this time. I freely admit I stayed home last year to watch the Seahawks win the NFC Championship.

Hey Steve, cannot wait to see the new version of "his" Very Happy

Did you ever install the new fuel pressure regulator on her van?

My kids will most probably bring their costumes, should be lots of fun!

Bump - less than 2 weeks for the meeting Very Happy

Just wanted to mention that the WetWesties are having a companion campout to the meetup at Tolt MacDonald County Park (a short drive to Marymoor) on Oct 31/Nov 1st - for more details please see the event in the WetWesties calendar below

http://wetwesties.org/calendar/index.php?action=display&id=153

If you were planning to drive from far away to the meetup this might be a great option to also do some late Fall camping.

I'll bring down a pair of Eurovan seats modified to fit in a vanagon for sale as well as a Dometic 3 way from a 1990, though Brian, aka luVWagn, has first dibs on the refer.
