Party at Picnic Creek - 2016 - Sunday, July 31st

[wdolson]

I'm moving closer to your area of the world in the week following the party - White Salmon, WA to be exact. I'm sure we'll cross paths more often, since I'll be up in Seattle on a regular basis.

I would guess you'll be getting your X delivered through the Portland SC? That's the closest to White Salmon.

You won't be the first Tesla in White Salmon though. I know of someone there who has one. There are several in Hood River too.

I don't know if you have signed up to the PDX Tesla mailing list, but the sign up is here:

In future years will you be doing your big bash around White Salmon? I watched this thread over a month ago because I thought there might be an outside chance we could make it, but it's only a couple of weeks after our annual big bash at our house (not Tesla related) and it looks like I'm going to be catching up on work. There has been a big project on hold since the beginning of the year and it finally looks like it's getting the green light.

If you have something up the Gorge in the future, we could easily make a day trip. We're only 1 hr from White Salmon.

Oh and my SO just reminded me of the two great roads for driving Teslas around here: WA SR 14 from White Salmon to Washougal is a great run for any car that's good on curves. There is also the Klickitat grade which is only a mile or two of extremely curvy road.

I hope I'm not the first Tesla in the neighborhood! I'm looking forward to some Roadster top down drives along 14 in the summer.

No idea if I will continue The Party up there, hopefully this one will continue in the future with the NorCal Reno club. I might, but on a smaller scale (this place is just so well set up for parties).

Just a reminder: My house is being packed the very next day after this NorCalReno event.

PLEASE NO HOSTESS GIFTS! Anything you bring will be promptly donated as a prize for one of the contests that the NorCalReno club is planning. No wine. No flowers. No no no. Just bring yourself, tak

 

[woof]

No wine. No flowers. No no no.

Dog treats?

 

[bonnie]

Dog treats?

You're impossible.

No. They'll be at a boarding kennel from just before the party until after I settle in at my new place. Nice thought. But please, no!

 

[woof]

You're impossible.

You know me so well, and we only met once!

 

[ohmman]

Consumables for the night of the party should be good, yes?

Yes!

 

[Denarius]

I'm afraid I won't make it this year.

 

[JPP]

We're there (including Abby---see avatar)...thanks.

:< no doggies...again. sad
wish mine weren't 'nuts', they will be boarded too

I had a couple of better pool 'surfing' shots of Rolo but I figured I shouldn't post pics of other people without permission

 

[bonnie]

Wow. I just heard from EVannex - they're going to supply gift bags (as will Tesla) for each attendee AND they're sending 4 Model S covers that we'll raffle off (in addition to the Stack Lighting home kits).

It's a party!

You need no permission to post pics of my beautiful bod...

But what about a few Rolos?

We can donate those as a prize.

Question: If we're flying out of RNO Sunday night at 11:50pm, what time would we have to leave the party? How far are you from the airport?

I'm approx 110 miles from Reno. If you got a ride with someone from Reno to here, I'd suggest getting an outbound flight out of Sacramento (SMF). That's only 30 miles away and Uber can get you there fairly quickly.

 

[HankLloydRight]

Oh, ok, thanks. I thought (assumed) you were close to Reno. Nevermind.

Sorry we'll miss you! For those driving & heading back towards the Bay area or So Cal (or anywhere other than north), I'm right off I-80 on the way home. For you, however, it would be a little more challenging to get here.
