I appreciate the offer, though; as I'm sure others from Oregon will. I was, orignally, trying to put together a convoy for us Oregon guys but leaving at 5 AM is going to make for one hell of a long day. It looks like the majority (if not all) of us are going to head up that Friday or Saturday. We should arrange a mini-meet that Saturday so we can get to know each other a little better and clean our cars. I hear Alvyn's place has plenty of room. 
I think we should decide on a specific time to leave at (9 AM or 8:45 AM, or whatever) and stick to it. We have good enough maps (thanks dkorr
) that everyone should be able to follow, even if they're a few minutes late.

^ I'm guessing you're a dad again, right? Congrats!!
We decided on Northgate Mall in front of the Toys R Us (excellent maps provided by Dkorr ofcourse), same place as last year. As for time, it doesn't look like it's firm yet, but I mentioned 8AM and it doesn't look like there hasn't been any requests w/ a reason to change it yet.
If you're swamped w/ stuff I could start another post w/ the info on it. I know how busy your life must be right now.

I guess this comment needs to be edited from 'couple' to 'several' members of le resistance?

^^ Ha I wish I was kidding....
Someone obviously underestimated the length of their car and as they were parking next to me, they made the turn not sharp enough, and sure enough small scratches and a small dent from the back bumper to the rear quarter panel.
Perfect timing, right before the meet... I always wanted my car looking super junky right before a big event, now here's my shot!!!
AWESOME!!
