i don't think we have any control over when it is... it will be nice..count on it...i have some influence...
Do your thing then. I'd rather have half-attendence on Saturday than no-attendance on Sunday when it rains. If it's raining we might as well move the meet to the Natick Mall parking garage!
 
i think the very first (aside from kent) NEPOC type meet was held on top of a parking garage on a rainyish day at the natick mall.

Was me, some guy names brokemp3, 1sty....and like 2 others. First "event" i ever went to with my car.

Fun times

if they, the organizers call off sun, and don't reschedule for sat. we can still hook up...that's fine...nothing preventing us from doing our own thing!

so chris, we meeting you on 495? 10ish?
I'll meet you guys with everyone else at Home Depot before we head in. The place is only 25 minutes from me if I go straight north. If I went out to 495 it would take 45 minutes or so.

i'd be down for lunch or something (if it's raining bad). i don't know where there's a nearby garage, so no ideas on that front (unless you consider framingham or natick mall parking garages as ok meeting spots?)
 
If it's raining I say we plan to meet at the parking garage. See my new expanded map.

OPTION 1 NO RAIN:
Plan to gather at the Home Depot on Speen Street. This is right around the corner from the park and is highly visible from both directions.

From I90 (Mass Pike) get off at exit 13 NATICK route 30. Take Route 30 East to first traffic light. Turn Right onto Speen Street. Turn Right at first traffic light into Home Depot parking lot. We will park in a visible location near the back of the lot (closest to Speen Street). X marks the spot on the map. If you miss us, head back out to Route 30 East and follow to the park.

From Route 9 west, bear right onto Speen Street and follow signs towards I90 Mass Pike. Turn right into Home Depot parking lot.

From Route 9 East, after passing shoppers world get in far right lane. Bear right and then stay left get onto Speen Street northbound towards I90 (Just follow signs to Mass Pike). Turn right into Home Depot parking lot.
If you have the option of taking Rte 9 or the Pike I recommend taking the Pike...its quicker and you are less likely to loose people at traffic lights.

OPTION 2 RAINING:
Plan to gather at the Natick Mall Front Parking Garage (corner of Rte 9 and Speen Street). The first floor corner closest to Speen Street and Rte 9 is usually pretty empty. If I see cars there I will move up to the second level (same corner). I will get there before anyone else so if you pull in and don't see anyone...we're on the next level. Watch out for Honda Ricers while you're in the parking garage. They like to race up to the top level so they can pick up their under-age bitches at the food court.

From I90 (Mass Pike) follow directions above but keep heading South on Speen Street. Immediately after passing Sears, turn into the mall between Sears and the garage. Turn left into the garage and look for a bunch of winners (that'll be us).

From Route 9, follow signs for Speen Street, I90 and make a U-Turn after getting on Speen Street. Cut across all lanes of traffic and take a right into the mall between Sears and the garage.

Can we tailgate at a Mall parking lot? Hmm. Well if we can't, John Harvard's Brew House is only 2 minutes away.
