GTG - Orange County, CA - Sat, Oct 04 @ 1200

Saturday, October 04 @ 1200 (to ~1500ish)

The Crow Bar and Kitchen
2325 East Coast Hwy
Corona Del Mar, CA 92625
(949) 675-0070

The location will be just a mile or two South of the Fashion Island shopping center of Newport Beach, and is on the 1 / PCH. This place serves breakfast/brunch on the weekends (along with lunch).

We're trying to keep this going as a monthly meetup, so I'm hoping we get repeat attendees from the last one plus new attendees.

See last GTG thread: http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=368487

Go ahead and post on this thread to RSVP so we know who to expect.

[ocabj]

Note: I decided to keep the location off the public post because someone (not one of the attendees in the last GTG) made a quip about 'security'.

I personally didn't think much of it and if someone wanted to do a hit on the GTG, I'd be willing to throw down.

All that aside, I decided to keep it 'private' (not publicly visible) for the sake of (prospective) attendees, so if anyone has a qualm about publicly known meeting locations for a watch get together, I can honor those concerns.

If anyone wants to know the location before I send out the PM notice, feel free to PM me in advance.

I don't see the issue with posting the location. It's not like you will be screening who you PM it to.
Anyway, I will be out of town for this one but look forward to the next one! Have fun and thanks for organizing these !

Yeah, I thought about it after I posted the new thread and it seems rather pointless unless I have a legitimate way of 'vetting' everyone that wants to attend.

Anyone else have any thoughts on the subject?

[dcash0615]

I'm in. I attended the first OC GTG. Only thing that may prevent me from making it is my son's soccer game. He plays every Saturday and I am the coach of his team so I need to be there. I should have the time of the game for that weekend in the next few days. They generally play in the morning.

Afternoon GTG most likely would work better for me.

Can't hurt to keep the location private and only communicate it through PM. I assume only registered TRF members will end up RSVP for the GTG anyway so PM should work. This way we have an idea of who they are. Just my 2 cents.

I'm a maybe...

I have to be up North for some business Sunday. Depending on my schedule Sunday (which I still don't have), I might have to leave Saturday.

[Tudor66]

It's on the calendar. We'll see how much flipping I can squeeze in before the meeting, as I would like to bring a few other examples with me...

[Plastique999]

Thanks Jon for organizing this.
I'll see if I can make this pending my kids soccer games as well.

Lots of Saturday soccer games going on here, perhaps Sunday would work for some of us...

[ocabj]

One of the items which I wanted to talk about at the 'inaugural' meetup was alternating Sat/Sun every other month.

I didn't know what people did on Sundays.

I'd be willing to go with Sun, Oct 05 @ 1000.

Not sure what that means to everyone else.

[dcash0615]

Sunday, October 5th works for me or later in the afternoon on Saturday, October 4th.

[ocabj]

I was going to try and recon the intended GTG location to see if there will be a problem with crowds, but I wasn't able to make it out last weekend.

Anyway, UPDATE - *new time* and actual location info:

Saturday, October 04 @ 1200 (to ~1500ish)

The Crow Bar and Kitchen
2325 East Coast Hwy
Corona Del Mar, CA 92625
(949) 675-0070

I'll see if I can get the initial post edited.

[ocabj]

I'm in. See you there. I have been to The Crow Bar many times. It's a small place.

I've been there early on weekends, before noon, and there's usually hardly anyone in there during that time.

I work only 5 minutes from the Crow Bar, but I have to work til 2 p.m. (although I get off early when I'm finished with all my work). I could just come over to say hi to you all, and have a coffee or something before I head home, if that's okay?

That would be really cool. Hope to see you there.

going to try and make it

[FiftyTwoEighty]

Hey guys, I'm out for the GTG.

I have to head up North on 10/3.

Have fun at The Crow Bar! I've spent too many nights stumbling between The Crow Bar and Gulfstream.

[Frosty]

This is funny My buddy and I were talking about going to Costa Mesa on Saturday for our other hobby. I will talk to him. We both enjoyed the BH GTG.

Vanessa, just tell them you are drumming up business!

I'll just talk less and work faster ;)

[stockae92]

Nice! I hope I can join one of those weekends when I am free ... sadly which doesn't happen too often :(

It would work much better if its from 7am to 10am :)

[ocabj]

Reminders sent out via PM.

I didn't note in the PM, but there is parking directly behind The Crow Bar. There's a small driveway right next to the main entrance of The Crow Bar on the 1 HWY, or you can turn on to Acacia Avenue before the Ruby's Diner and come in from behind that.

There's also alternative parking if that small lot behind the place is full, but it's paid.

But there's also free parking on the streets as well. It's all up to what you're comfortable with.

[ocabj]

I'm pretty sure I PM'ed everyone, but I'm canceling the GTG because there were a few last minute un-RSVP's and those that contacted me directly via PM haven't gotten back to me at all.

Anyway, I hope to reschedule something soon. Sorry we couldn't make this work like last month.

Hope you all have an enjoyable weekend.

[Vanessa CW21]

Bummer.
Thank you, Jonathan, for putting in all the effort.

[dcash0615]

Jonathan,

Thanks for trying to set this up. Let's try and do a GTG for next month.
