According to the state park website:

Please Note: If you are using online mapping software, it may give you incorrect directions via NW 85th Street and Golden Gardens Drive. Due to a rain washout, Golden Gardens drive is closed indefinitely and there is no access to the park from NW 85th Street.

Here's a link to the NWN threads that are having convoys from all around the area. I'll probably be joining in the 7am convoy from Tacoma's Krispy Kreme.

What happened? No BBQ, No eating, no tech, no raffle...

This little tidbit just blew up NWN, it'll probably be deleted by tomorrow but explains a bit.

Saying you did what you could is not true, you did what you were willing to do. You even said to me when you confirmed my pizza prediction that you guys didn’t want to be tied down to the BBQ all day.

I was told that City of Seattle staff contacted Gaelen at least a month ago to tell him to get a permit. I was also told that the effort to get a permit was limited to hassling SKsilvia to do it. I was also told that NWN was also informed about the wedding at this time. I also heard -- and this has been reflected by the mod comments I have seen in this thread so far -- that the staff did not want to be tied down working at the meet. Funny that this year, this time, this event with only canadian managers and no American workers no one could be bothered to cook for the promised free bbq. Never mind that you guys posted up advertising a free bbq. If you don’t want to work at meets then you should not be a mod, that’s my opinion anyway –make room for the workers.

I’m sure you will make some claims that the police shut you down, never mind they called you a month ago. Getting permits and insurance is really hard – I know because I have done it. Anyway, the supercool officer that came and talked to us at the KICK ASS bbq, told us to wrap it up when we were done eating. Not right now, not hurry up – just please when you can put it away. He also informed us that we could use the BBQ pits all day with no permit at all – the free standing BBQ was the problem.

So please be honest about why there was no BBQ.

So pizza was decided on, again Canadian management rounded up the only American worker they could find and started sweating him to find a pizza place. I don’t know who finally went and got the 80 slices for 600+ people math solution started but I guess that’s enough when you just drop them on your hood and start eating.

As far as only four moderators, that’s more than enough people. Your excuses ring hollow. Most of the people there don’t know or care about how NWN takes all of the WA and OR members for granted but it can’t last forever. Pretty soon it will be NWNcraigslist just like Colin wants. I have to hand it to you though Colin, once again you were right.

As far as the comments about the quality and variety of cars, honestly? Show me buckets, show me sunken battle ships, show me a 370Z, show me a Cressy, show me a civic or just show me a Honda odyssey just show me what you’re working with. It’s all cars and it’s all love. Everyone should feel welcomed.

GG has not and will not EVER outgrow it’s current location, I was wrong when I said that before. All it has outgrown is the motivation of the current detached canadian modstaff.

Gaelen, Carlos or Dan I honestly challenge you to leave this up, don’t ban me again. Step up and debate the facts. If and when you do delete I will just keep rolling in here on various proxies and post it over and over and over again. I know you abhor debate but show NWN you care and at least address these accusations.
