Pretty good event. Music selection was nicely varied enough (especially liked the Disco House music). Bit too loud though.
Thanks to everyone. No, really, EVERYONE who attended! Never seen so many Subarus in one place in my life!
Honorable mention to Primitive Racing for showing off the skid plates and that crazy rollover ride.
I was the weird guy with the dark blue Subaru hat, brown vest, and thick jeans. Thanks to all for such a large Subaru event

The venue was kick ***! Had a lot of fun. As already said, the music was a bit loud. Also, I'd like to see burgers and hot dogs make a return next year. I think ribs were a little to tricky to serve to 300+ people correctly. Props to the chefs anyway, I heard a couple bailed before the meet, but the ones there picked up the slack!

Seriously - venue was awesome, weather was great, organization was really good (snafus will happen and I know there were a lot of people who picked up some slack - much appreciated).
Drop the music levels a bit, and move the cooking slightly so it doesn't smoke out the vendor area (both minor quibbles), and I see an opportunity for a great repeating event - can't get much more centrally located for Bay folks, weather should always be agreeable, parking was great, etc.
Thanks to all who put in work to pull this off - it's never easy, and it's always appreciated.

Thanks for the hardwork to everyone who made it possible! Esp Greg and Matt, then all the vendors and supporters either by volunteering or what not. Hope to see everyone out and about the bay and at meets sometime soon.

Anthony (Hengman) told me some gangster grill master had to grab a few of those tri-tips from a high open flame. Props to that man! Sacrificing some arm hair for the sake of feeding us!
