Dammit Eric I was hoping you'd do it lol....Your meets are always good 
You don't have to make a new thread bro.
As for making a new thread and making a list it is good for a couple different reasons:
1. ALL meet info on the first page, easy for newcomers to see.
2. Know whose all coming, bigger number is always motivation for more new members to attend - more members int he cruise = better entrance
Any new changes/updates can be made and seen on the first page, instead of flipping through 12 pages of discussion on where to meet, shoot I don't even know where the meet is at this point because there is no set plan or no set person to contact for this meet.
Personally I think the idea of driving through crowded local streets is retarded. last year we kept losing 3-4 people at every stop sign, changing lanes were a PIA and most people don't even know how to get there if they're left behind. I know I wouldn't.
Freeway is much more fun/easier. Meet right off I-90. From I-90 we merge onto I-5 North, take GG exit, turn left at exit and done! Just drive straight into the park from there. Just my 2 cents. If someone is willing to set up the meet than I'll follow their plans. But we need to have something more concrete and better planning especially for new comers.

Meet here:
