I was just thinking how I wish Sharktoberfest was a monthly GTG. Then I remembered Trius (Drachen) told me once about a semi-regular GTG at Portillos in Buena Park. Does this GTG still happen or would anyone be interested in getting this mini-tradition started again? Buena Park works for me, but Im also open to other locational suggestions if it meant a bigger turnout. Thoughts and suggestions welcomed. Josh

The Portillos gathering was a very much hit-or-miss event. Sometimes a group, other times nobody there. Too many 'other' things to do around there I guess.

Seems like it died when you moved. Bummer. Well I'm still game for ideas. Was thinking of checking out the Pelican thing next time it comes around, but a 928 gathering would be better.

id be down for sure. but fighting LA traffic from multiple routes.... makes it hard to do.

Yeah would have to be before or after traffic. Maybe a Friday night, or Sunday morning. Hopefully some more will chime in with interest.

The Portillos gatherings were Trius and his Volvo buddies, some of whom gravitated to 928's. I suspect that the coordination was done other ways than in 928 circles, cuz I would go when one of the 928 guys shared the schedule here. He moved to Phoenix and I lost touch. Get with Trius and he'll get you on board I'm sure. Gatherings were Saturday evenings so traffic was less an issue. I came down from Glendale, Trius from NoHo area, others from OC cities.

So far I haven't had time to chase down groups and gatherings where we landed in Oregon. I'll get to it I promise. I put gas in the car once or twice this year, so you know how much its been driven. Vs six tanks local in the Honda DD, plus four more for a family-emergency dash back to SoCal a month or three ago. I put miles on rental cars, but that needs to wind down soon and seriously.

Triiiiiiiuuuuuuuuusss wheeeeerrrreee arrrrrrrrrrrrrr ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu?????

I might just go over to portillos on Saturday night just to see what's up. What's the worse that could happen ? I have an awesome Italian beef sandwich and a fishbowl size beer. Not too shabby
