the title is not accurate, I thought we established that its a good idea to state the location, time, and meet place, just as every other meet thread. ohwelz

Excellent...
Seriously, it does not matter. You don't need to have a single person running a meet. I don't understand why you guys feel the need for some special god like person to tell everyone what to do. It doesn't make any sense. I feel like you guys are just over complicating everything.
I posted before trying to help you guys... But doesn't seem like anyone read it or thought that I don't know what I am talking about...
And this got sticky'd!??!?
true... and yeah it does matter homeboy... you plan on coming to the meets jourdan? or you just looking to BS on here too? ha ha..

As an outsider looking in... I have no idea where or when this meet is. The title of the thread is "Elk Grove Meet" That doesn't give me any info other than that there is a meet in Elk Grove.
You don't need to keep changing locations for a meet to be successful. In fact any given meet will be stronger if it stays in one chill spot. You guys need to find a nice spot that is relatively tucked away and has some amenities. All of the successful meets that I have been to and go to have these traits.
If you guys seriously want a proper meet, ditch this thread and make a new one. In the title and first post, put in as much info about the place and time as possible. You don't need a person to be running the show as long as the thread gets bumped so people see it and get reminded.
Here are some examples of some strong meets;
Official: WED Night Va-Jay-Jay Statue Meet 9pm
Official: VALLEJO STARBUCKS MEET, Tuesdays @ 5:30 PM
Official RS meet every sat 8pm @ starbucks gellert daly city
WINGSTOP MEET on CURTNER friday nights
In fact the South Bay Friday night meet has moved about a bit because of police enforcement... It was originally, Friday Night BLOSSOM HILL In-N-Out (Official Thread), then it became, Friday Night WING STOP meet with 100% more wings and 50% less cops! (Official Thread), and now it is the WINGSTOP MEET on CURTNER friday nights.
Not trying to be a dick or anything, just pointing out some tips and tricks.

Meets can thrive as they stay at the same location forever, but that can also bring unwanted attention.
Meets that move around, make it easier for ppl who live in certain areas and might get more/new members showing up in certain spots. Downside is that not everyone will show up if its a far drive for them. Pros/Cons.
If a meet is going to change locations offten, the OP MUST be kept up to date. For the 4+ months I was MIA at the meets, I still made it a point to keep everything current. If I were to ever stop going or not check iclub, then there would need to be another new Sac thread made (just as we made a new one once ryan "stepped down").

so just a bit of history..
the original Sac meets that we started in 2004 went well for a while, but what started to happen was that the "ricers" started to find out where the meet was each week (always in Natomas by Bel Air) and started showing up as well.
the idea to move the meet around each week actually works rather well. I know some people enjoy having the same spot every week, but moving it around will actually help the meet stick around and not turn into a burn-out contest as the original one did

The reason why I didn't put it like all the others is I wanted to change locations from time to time just to make things a bit more interesting. And yes I'll update the locations if we do decide to relocate. But if you guys have any ideas its always welcome so don't be shy
