Thumbs up NW IDI get together

We need to get some feedback from those of you who would like to show up for this. We are thinking a meet in Everett is a good middle ground for those coming from the north and south ends. I came up with Izzy's Pizza on 99 and Everett Mall Way on a Saturday (prices are cheaper). We've had a NW chapter meet there before and it worked out good. They even gave us the party room. If that sounds do-able, all we have to do is settle on a date.

I know you had some thoughts on picking a date, Cheeper. Any come to mind?

Well, this weekend I'm going to Spokane for a friend's wedding. That pushes my exhaust and ram-air install off until next weekend. Maybe Saturday the 2nd??

I do wish you all were closer, I would like to come blow some smoke for you guys.
In high speed pursuit mode I only get about 10 MPG, so toasting 600 gallons of fuel is going to be a little out of my price range right now before the holidays, never mind that I am working 70 hour weeks.

Heck, I don't even have a passport, so crossing the border isn't even an option for me these days....

We kinda settled on Everet because it is pretty much mid-way between Bellingham and Olympia and we were hoping to pull in folks from both locations. At least last time we discussed it, we had folks from both those areas expressing interest....

If I end up being the farthest one south who's coming, I'd be willing to go a bit farther north, just can't cross the border. Let's see who all chimes in to express their interest and decide on where based on that....
