Meet #2 - Bringing VA Together ... Richmond! February 20th

Missed the last Richmond meet. Will have to be sure I am at this one, if it happens there.

Getting any feedback yet from the other forum?  Just a little curious.

Not a lot, but it seems at least one "new" Virginian from the beach area is interested. He has a pretty good reputation in the RX-8 world and formerly lived in Hawaii. Any guesses?

On another note, we haven't heard anything from our own Mr. Brandini about the subject. I wonder what he's up to?

I think I have read posts by the mentioned "new" Virginian, but being a rookie in the 8 world myself, I would have no idea. I just remember thinking, wow, Hawaii. Of course I could be thinking of a Speed3'er, cause I believe there was one in Hawaii as well.

It is oddly strange that Brandini has not had any comments on a meet in his city. Oddly strange indeed!!

Let's see if I can stir anything up with a Facebook notice. 

dangit! everytime yall come up my way I seem to have something else going on!

Well what is on the menu?

Let me know when and I can now bring 2 mazda's to richmond.  MP3 and the fresh in 2010 MX-5...

Thread title has been adjusted.

Well the wife is saying the dog has a hair appointment.  Seriously.  I will try to get her to come too.  What time ish?

We'll most likely try to get everyone in Richmond around 11:00a, we can then have lunch somewhere...hang out until 3:00p or so.

Ate here new year's day, holy hell it was good, they play funk and r&b classics, and the waitress is an old black lady that cracks inappropriate jokes (in other words, a hoot):

I loves some good BBQ. Don't eat raw fish.:)

I will try to make this meet. Hopefully I can get the car cleaned up again before then and the weather will hold up.

Brandon, the only one of the above that I know is Capital Ale House. What I know is we would have plenty of parking spaces. Thinking we may have a HUGE group of cars, would any of the other locations work?

Mama Cucina
Cap Ale
Pho So 1

Now that I see where Mama Cucina is, I think I've been there too. How about size? Again I remember Capital Ale would have plenty of room for us and may even be able to reserve the room in the back for us. My vague memory of Mama Cucina is that it's a little on the small side. What other choices of food are around it?

Any Richmond peeps have a vote on Capital Ale House or Mama Cucina?
