I'll be there, though I won't be able to make the KABC's clean air car showcase due to a prior commitment.

Re: Saturday Cruise-In to Dale's Diner

In light of the past discussion of various dates, we're talking about tomorrow, Saturday the 17th, correct?

Much as I hate to waffle at the 11th hour, but I'm 80%.

Saturday the 17th at 10:00am at Dale's. Hopefully, we'll see a bunch of blue diamonds in the parking lot!!

Re: Saturday Cruise-In to Dale's Diner

Would someone like to make some nametags? Maybe a blue CNG diamond with a line that says "Natural Gas Vehicle Owner" and a place for your name would be a good idea. Maybe the names we know for sure could be pre-printed, and others could be written with a marker. What do you think?

I suggested name tags earlier, thinking it was a good idea, but not sure that I would have the time to make them. Well, I found the time. They are as described above. Nothing fancy, but I think they'll be nice for the Clean Air Car Showcase and maybe they'll help start a discussion. For those who are going, just post a short message here with your first name as you would like it on the name tag, and I'll have it printed and ready for you when we meet at Dale's. For those who I don't hear from ahead of time, I'll also print some without a name and we can add your name with a marker.

I have e-mailed the "Motorman" Leon Kaplan and left a voice message at kabc, but I have not heard back from anyone. However, my message was posted at

http://www.kabc.com/Article.asp?id=651431

scroll down to see the message near the bottom, if you're interested.
So, I don't know if we'll be able to get on the Motorman show, but at least, if Leon has read his messages, he'll know to expect us. We also might want to not linger too long at Dale's because the "Motorman" is only broadcasting from 10:00 A.M. to 12:00 noon, although the showcase continues until 5:00 P.M.

I look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow morning. Please, don't forget to post your first names here to get your pre-printed name tag.

Thanks,
Michael

Sorry I won't be able to meet up with ever one I will be keeping much faster company. I'll be hanging with rescued racers at a greyhound rescue event.

Ahhh... Life on the fast track.

I'll drop by for a bit, but family commitments prevent me from participating more fully.

Logistics:

I'll give Dale's a call and ask them to reserve the outside patio after 9:30. There's seating on the patio for about 18 if we squeeze-in.

There's diagonal street parking adjacent to the patio. We can't really reserve these spaces, but let's move the NGVs in as the spaces free up.

Breakfast costs between five and ten dollars.

The food is good & the waitresses are cute and perky.

Dale's is located at the intersection of Carson Street & Norse Way, one block east of Lakewood Blvd.
