I did some research and Golden Corral will cater an event for $4 a person. can't beat that for the kinds of food to choose from. They have green beans, meatloaf, mac & cheese, etc. Pretty good options for a simple idea. 
If we want to grill, we can hit up a Sam's Club or BJ's for a large quantity of food and do that instead.
Going to make some phone calls this week to find a locale for the event down in Savannah. Any suggestions will be appreciated. The two main things to focus on right now is a location and then food for people.

Stina and I are coordinating on this, she's still scoping out a good spot.
We've been comming up with logo ideas as well. I was planning on making some stickers, banner ect.....(work for a sign company now) for the event. Lets make it one to remember!
Please PM if you plan on attending, then I can get an idea about food and what not.
Thanks!!

Looking at getting info about doing the event at a Mazda dealership. What do you guys think about this idea? Hooters may be easier... or dayton said he could bring a grill, plus Shannon has access to one as well.
I know I just threw quite a few ideas out there... what do you guys want for this event to be?

dark side i sense in him
going to the park this weekend to check it out. online is a little limited. But they say there are picnic areas with the built in grills and tables and such. just gonna look into how much parking is available and size of the lots. if its a couple of lots close together we might have to break up. is this a problem if it is that way or do i keep searching? i know the idea is to be together but is short walking distance a prob?
like i said will be scouting this weekend, as soon as i buy my new FD
i need to know if we wanna cater or do a BYOF (bring your own food) sams club is kinda close there are restarants, and yes Hooters is right there, but we all know thier food sucks, its the hot beer and cold women why we love it( or is it the other way around?

I'm with Tina on doing Golden Corral. That way people don't have to bring food, and they do have a lot of variety. Plus, $4 a person?!? Where else can you find that?
I was also thinking of contacting a Mazda dealer down there. Who knows, they may be able to provide a parking area.
Darth, Tina, Wendy, Dayton: please check your PM's.

If you are going to reserve a picnic area, you better reserve NOW. Its now almost MAY, I know most of the campsites and picnic area around Santee-Cooper/EDISTO/HILTON HEAD/Charleston are already booked solid.

I forgot to mention this earlier... but I just realized the link between Savannah and RX-7s... anyway. 
Yeah, I know... I'm a little slow.
We could have had it in Apex, NC (which is much too far away for people)... but Savannah is just as punny.
I'm going to find out where I can get "Speed Limit 7" signs made. The hospital I work at literally has those signs right by the parking deck!! So cool.

Most dealerships i have seen have overflow parking areas for extra cars for sale, and it's never full. I'm sure one would work with us down in Savannah. Just need to schmooze the right person. A formal request would probably be best, and include the perks for the dealerships' business, because if they work with us, I KNOW we'd all be more willing to work with them for business in the future.

what's funny, is that if we did it at a mazda dealership, then the mazda dealership's customers would see our cars and realize the future potential and/or demise of their newly purchased vehicle.
I think the RX-8s will sell either very quickly that day or even slower, cuz of the uneven "brap brap brap" coming from all of us.

I do belive Atlanta group is doing thier own thing on 7-7-07. A Dave and Buster meet with go-karting in the afternoon. the alabama crew is going as well. only prob i saw was ALL mazda's, not just 7's exclusive so this might hurt attendance with our meet. if your in alabama or other surrounding states on the other side of GA., why drive to the coast when you have meet 4hrs closer?
