Ok fellas, the date has been set. You voted overwhelmingly for Saturday June 30th, so that's when we're going to hold the cruise.

http://www.facebook.com/events/206965676091072/

Anyone coming from the North, East, or local area is free to meet up at my place again. There is plenty of parking here and you can use the time to get gas, use the bathroom, or remove your wheels and install new caliper bolts!!!

I'm going to adding a lot of information here over the next week or two, so stay tuned for the latest info. Thanks guys!

Will

 

Im coming from Patterson, Ca if i'm able to get that day off work. What about the norcal shirts? Will we get an email with exact directions to where ppl r meetn up at and cruising out together or how is it done? It will be my first cruise in dis white Z so im kinda looking forward to it hopin im off that day.

 

I'm near Santa Rosa. Staging in SF would be great.

 

I am looking forward to going on the cruise. Going to be a great time. And No problem meeting up at your house Will. I dont care about whether you use last years route or do the amended route. I love he curvy, hilly roads, so more the marrier )

 

I am fine with last year's route.

We will use your house as the main starting point and people can join in at certain spots. I am sure their is going to be a san jose crew and what not.

He will post a route. With address information I am sure. He wants to gauge the interest in the route we are taking first

 

No worries, I will have a flyer made with a detailed route map, as well as other pertinent information available in PDF 2 weeks before the cruise. As far as the T-shirts, I am waiting to hear back from the person that may supply them. If I don't hear back in the next day or so I'll go to another supplier and see what they can do for us. Also will need to discuss it with everyone to decide on an image for the shirt.


Hope you can make it!

 

I talked to Ronus he is from santa rosa too. He said he won't have his car in good enough shape to make it most likely. But it is possible still. Hopefully we will have more cars. Will you going to make a nor cal face book posting also?

 

i know there's alot of spots where we can get shirts done with norcal third gen and maybe put irocz z28 rs...( just like on how they put it on those chevy jackets not sure if you've seen it) on it with a nice pic of a 3rd gen maro if not all generations just in case all different years go you know? just my opinion and idea any body else got an idea?

 

I've been working on a Norcal logo for a while, maybe I can finish it tonight and post it up to see what you guys think. Also had some cool shirt ideas. Can you have multiple polls in one thread? MODS, I'd like to have three polls for this thread, can it be done? Thanks

Will

 

It is nor cal third gen not nor cal third gen camaro. So you gotta have firebird/trans am, and Camaro's. Unless your going to run two different options where Trans am owner's would grab on and camaro's the other. I tend to think both cars need to be represented on the same shirt.

 

I really like the design of the tgo shirt I have... I enjoyed our rout from last year.

 

I'd be a stone cold mother-shut-yo-mouth if I were to leave the birds out of logo. I'll post it up tonight for you guys to see.

Will

 

Negative.

You'd probably want to put a t-shirt poll in another thread anyway. ..

 

ok

 

If I was moderator. I'd allow 3 polls in 1 thread. That is all im sayin'

let's just do the route form last year Will. A lot of peeps weren't on it. I forgot it. And it was a very fun drive. so that takes 1 poll out of the question.

Food wise. It isnt hard to satisfy. I'd say anything but chinese, and sushi. So a steakhouse, burger place, mexican food, or pizza sounds good. Diner or whatever. As long as it has a huge parking lot. ya know?

 

Hah. That would be a webmaster/administrator. I don't get paid to babysit, let alone upgrade the website.

I thought the route was great last year though too. If I was going again I would've stayed the night and done more out there as that was a long drive from Sac for a burger, heh.

If you want this thread stuck, or an email to the mailing list, just let me know.

 

I dont want to hear your excuses sir! I am just needling you so I can get "on probation" under my name.

Like I said im stopping at betty burgers regardless of where we actually eat. haha. My lil bro keeps asking me when the cruise is. haha.

 

Here is a logo I had worked on for the club. What do you guys think?

 

I like how you cut the state, haha. Nice!

Are you partial to the bird in gold? Since the state is already a shade of that, I like blue.

 

I love it Will. Looks awesome!!

 

Not partial at all Del. I'll render one in blue tomorrow. Also line it up a bit better.

 

If you bring the star down and to the east a little it'll look like your pinpointing Manteca as the main spot for Nor Cal Third Gen's. And that'd be hell of a compliment

Seriously i'd wear it!

Would that be on front or back? and would be having cars on the shirt be too much?

 

Logo looks great!

 

Thirdgen or not, I should be there... Didn't go last year, so the route doesn't matter to me...

 

HAHA, Manteca, the Jewel of California. Actually the star was on the image I used, for Sacramento. I figured it was fitting to leave it.

As for the design, I was unsure of where to use it. I had thought of left chest on front, since it is small, and enlarging the image would prolly distort it until I can make a highres one. But on the back I wanted to do something for the cruise. Also the more we add to the shirt the more the price increases. I'll start a separate tshirt thread tonight like Del said. Will make it easier to get the info to you guys. I'm glad you like the logo so far. I'll make some adjustments and post up once more before I go get a sample done.

Will

 

That's pretty sweet dude I'd wear that haha

 

can we make the bird spin and change colors like on outatime gta's avatar please?

So Will im assuming you saw the facebook posts. ppl wanna knowthe route so make an event page with route info already bro! Thanks

 

I'm working on it brother. Between my 9-5, stuff around the house, and sleep, it's hard to get all this stuff going. I may need to employ a staff! hahaha. I spent my lunch just now scouting locations in the area and looking at parking situations with google earth. I don't wanna get too excited but I think I found a great spot for us. I'll have a facebook page up and running tomorrow, and we should have a restaurant picked out by the end of May, so hopefully we will have 1 month for everyone to get their cars running, cleaned, and ready to roll.

Will

 

Cool man!

 

So I've put together a few options guys. I've also added a poll question. Check out the reviews below and vote!

1. Burger - http://www.burgersantacruz.com/
http://www.yelp.com/biz/burger-santa-cruz
My favorite, big parking lot, food looks to be bangin'. I emailed the place to make sure they could take care of us. waiting to hear back. Location directly on the 1 through town means no one will get separated, central location to turn a lot of heads.

2. El Chino - http://www.yelp.com/biz/el-chino-mex...ant-santa-cruz
Large parking lot, plenty more in the area, might be a good contender.

3. Cole's BBQ - http://www.yelp.com/biz/coles-bbq-an...ing-santa-cruz
Something new? Ok sized lot immediately attached, but shares it with other businesses so not sure.

4. Fosters Freeze - http://www.yelp.com/biz/fosters-freeze-santa-cruz
Smallish lot, but plenty of parking in the surrounding area.

5. Jack's Burgers - http://www.yelp.com/biz/jacks-hamburgers-santa-cruz
Public parking in the area, small lot adjacent.

Bottom line, there aren't many options with large lots that will take us all in Downtown Santa Cruz. Real estate is at a premium there and it doesn't look like they invested in parking. I also tried to keep us away from the boardwalk, to ease traffic concerns and what not. Now if everyone is down to try another end destination, I'm open to hearing those options as well.

 

The #1 option...Burger sounds like a cool place. The food looks good there. I say lets hit it.

 

I guess im going to be eating kim kardashian

gotta say burger place with the names of those burgers it sounds off the hook!

the hank willliams! the notorious BIG. The Chuck Norris..

 

Yea it looks like a place we really need to check out

 

http://www.facebook.com/events/206965676091072/

Facebook event page is up but still needs a lot of work. SO keep checking in but you can add yourself to the list of coming or not and see what is going on with the event.

 

Im down for #1. Event though i dont eat red meat they got a large variety of food.

 

order it well done then it wont be red no more...haha

 

Order it and we will eat it.

 

exactly!

 

Any way to get on the list without signing up for Facebook?

 

Of course. I will start a list on the first post of this thread with EVERYONE that is coming, along with where they are coming from.

ATTENTION!!! If everyone who would like to come on the cruise could email me at william.a.mays@gmail.com that would be a great help. Simply put yes if you are coming, and where you are coming from. Thanks!

Will

 

Wait everyone or everyone who isnt on facebook?

 

Everyone, will make my life easier when I compile the list and add it to the first post

 

For the folks coming from the south bay (San Jose/Gilroy), we can meet at my place and roll out together.

 

I will be planning a valley rallye spot and meeting time to cruise to SF to Norcal's house

 

Who all is going from the Sac area?

 

I've been to burger so many times. Good Luck finding parking lol. It has parking for about 10 cars and usually is packed. The food has great variety, but it leaves you wanting to buy like 5 different burgers.

I personally wouldn't choose it, but you guys should experience it at least once.

 

wow that is good info to know...when was the last time? when was the last time you were there? sure they havnt expanded?

 

If you guys are going to get a group together, I am down to stop by and join your group... It's looking like from Chico to Santa Cruz is a 230 mile drive one way for me.

 

the shirt seems too plain for me can we get some cars on it and the normal tgo.com logo look better[IMG][/IMG]

 

That looks great. At some point though cost becomes an issue. The more intricate the design, the more difficult it is to print, and the more expensive it becomes for us. If you want to look into getting that one done, go for it! In all reality I think people were more interested in a Norcal Thirdgen shirt, and not so much a santa cruz cruise shirt. Also we want to make sure the design is original, and that we're not using someone's design without their permission.

Ok fellas, I will start the list today, adding everyone that has expressed strong interest in coming to the cruise.

As far as burger goes, I have emailed them twice to no avail. The google maps images shows a wrap around parking structure, but if you've been there, that works for me. We can start looking at other venues, might also have to consider another end spot outside of downtown.
