actually the permit i think is for the whole group!! 25-30club/forums were listed on the permit (if i read correctly)
so yes they are expecting about 200'ish or so cars...
We are meeting at one place (272nd p&r)
this event normally draws about 150ish cars... but with the increased push this year hoping for 200+

Erik (Kanchi) or Ariane (CLAPhoto)...can we use either of your Fred Meyers?
Toys 'R Us & Targets have told us 'no' on doing this in front of their stores.

I'll see if I can catch up with HR or the store director and I'll get back to you.

I officially now have 12/9 off for this.
It took a LOT (when I couldn't get 2 coworkers to cover my shifts, I put in a formal day off request to the boss who "asked" they work 12 hour shifts to cover me....and by 'formal day off request' I mean 'begged in an email') and everyone at work will hate me for it for a few months, but whatever, I get to finally indulge in one of my hobbies: roadtrip (okay, Fed Way to Olympia isn't THAT far...but Olympia is far enough from Bellevue. dig?)

LOL! I just thought this was funny because I make an 1.5 hour commute 3-5 times a week during rush hour to see my boyfriend in Port Orchard. Most of the time I take the ferry now but it still takes me anywhere from 45mins to an 1.5 hours just to get to west seattle. I guess thats where my 120,000 came from in the past 4 years - all my crazy quick trips to places.
Anyways ill probably be at the toy run tho im kinda broke and i hate showing up with just one or two toys. but hey its better than nothing. I remember my parents being in a tight spot when i was growing up and they never showed it tho cuz there were always the toys i wanted under the tree.. hopefully i can help bring a smile to a kids face this year :-)
