As far as arrivals and departures, I'd say have them come in following the red arrows in the corners on Bear Creek Pkwy (From the West) or from 170th Ave (From the east). From the west on Bear Creek Pkwy would make for the best panning shots of them rolling in.

Although now that I think about it, it might be cool to have them come up 76th, then cut through the RTC on 166th. Might be a cool spot to get some shots of them at the intersection of 166th and 74th. I forget if you can stay on the second level that far east. I think the book store takes over at that point.
Might have to go scout it out early.....

 

Jody, see you there!

 

^^^you got it greta! we'll grab a coffee and hang out! =) looking forward to seeing you!

 

For anyone coming up from the south. StorminS4 and I are meeting up at Bahama Breeze by Southcenter at 7:30am.

 

Are you sure you don't want to get our group together and caravan together? We could meet in Bellevue? Are there any meetups planned? Paul (BritBlaster) and Larry...want to meet at our Park&Ride and go together?

 

Jody, you're bringing the Krispy Kremes this time right? ;-)

 

Greta keep me in the loop on park and ride times, Stormin and I could meet up with you there.

 

i've got oreos and some carrot sticks.

 

Anyone want some Girl Scout Cookies. My daughter just got her orders in and we have extra.....

 

I'll have the Oreo's.

Keeping away from veggies! See: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IINnCX1v4Wc[/media]

 

The Park & Ride for us in Newcastle would be good.

 

Man I missing out on some sick meets. But I have devoted my time to coaching bball and the games are on Sat mornings. But there is light at the end of the tunnel - only three more games

 

A few things about the route- We have to keep cars away from the hotel and driving through the center of the mall for now. We also want to make sure there are some long stretches for photos of caravans, etc., and camera considerations. The route will likely be on Bear Creek Parkway turning in at 166th. We will need to look at how we do with total cars, etc., so we're going to keep it simple for now. We're better off if people turn in at 166th, rather than 164th. It's a little easier to deal with parking. Eventually 164th will be focused on spectator parking. This assumes we grow even larger.

As far as bringing food, to the extent practical, we'd like to see the merchants at RTC get as much support as you can give them. We may be able to get one of the food establishments to do something for us at the lot itself once we have a routine down.

We anticipate eventually finding a line judge to coordinate what does and doesn't go in the display area and that person will rotate, but we will try and find someone with decent car knowledge so we put on quality event and everyone has a lot of fun. We'll just see what shows up and how things go for now.

 

I'll try & meet up with you guys at the P&R in Newcastle... what time are you meeting there?
