I'm in. Let me know when to send money and where we're going to be.

I am thinking Pontiac
Agreed. I like our lot location. It's also located close enough to Ferndale that people can hike down that way to see all the Ford stuff. Easy to get in/out of down Borgman and through the neighborhood too.

I know it's a different city, but I was out last weekend, and spoke to a Birmingham cop on woodward who informed us that if we had permission from the property owner, and that we were on private property...i.e.....not the public spots out from......that we would be allowed to stay even after the usual "flushing of woodward" at 10-10:30. All we would need to do is get the documentation(letter of permission) and take it to the city P.D. and file it with them to allow us access after the closing of woodward hour. SO maybe if we keep our lot again this year, we can get he lease paperwork done up with enough time to take it to the city P.D. and file it with them to prevent swat style ejection this year, and allow us the ability to tell the chest bumpers to go pound sand, and that we don't truly have to leave.
By the way, I did enjoy the lot, and the location was cool. But if there was a similar lot closer to the action, in a nice location, I wouldn't mind either, but I imagine the farther north we go, the more it's gonna cost us to park.
Oh, and the Simple Mortgage lot is too small for the size of crowd we had. Hell, it was packed on Friday night when I tried to stop by and say hello, so I ended up scooting along. Must have to get there earlier. ANy guys here regularly hit the Simple lot?

The ListedMyCar.com crew got pricing for a couple lots on non dream cruise weekends and just asked for fun what it would cost to rent them for the dream cruise and the numbers were pretty wild in the 14-15 mile and Woodward area. I forget the name of the surf shop but they rent their 20 or so spot lot out for the three dream cruise days for $17K. Our startup would be interested in getting at least four spots maybe more if they were available.

This is sort of like the Christmas party at Duggan's. We can talk in circles about doing something different and do nothing or just go with the old stand by and have the same great event we've always had. Sounds like the old stand by lot is the best option again.
I need to figure out what the dream cruise plans are going to be. We have a lot of uncertainty going on over the next month or two right now.

Hell yeah, ol faithful sounds good, and a prior discussion with the property owner and police would help us alot in the event that we encounter a swat-type invasion again.
Make sure we get a name and/or business card for the chief or whomever we speak with at the P.D.

That lot is nowhere big enough for us on Dream Cruise.

And from talking to Steve, he doesn't even have rights to the lot for Woodward, the property owner retains the rights for the lot on Woodward cruise weekend. Dude puts it in the lease agreement...
