There is a meet this saturday at Jacob Riis Park.
Jacob Riis Park in Rockaway Queens on July 27th @ 10:30am. This is about 2weeks away, so all who are plannin on attending should post their final roll call here ASAP.

As I stated before, the parking lot is very BIG. If the expected 30 - 40+ cars attend, there should/will more than enough space for us and the other park visitors. There is however a fee for the main parking area which should comes up to $3.25. This is an insured parking area so if anything happen to your car when your not around, they got you covered.

I don't want to charge anyone for food because not everyone would want to eat. The BBQing will be your own option if you wish to do so. So bring your own meat or buddy up with someone who is BBQing. I am more than sure that people who bring food will be sharing because we are not "mizers". Remember that the grills @ the beach are first come first serve and that if you have a mini grill it's best to bring it.

As far as the park is concerned, there are many things to do that you can bring your whole family (if you would like to). The beach and board walk is right there and there are also basketball courts, a golf course, a public pool, softball, baseball, football, rugby, paddleball and handball ect. Great scenic area with many places for photo.

And now for the cruise. I have been getting e-mails, PM's and IM's from guys litterally begging for a cruise where all of the guys will roll down and have some "fun." As we all know that the traffic in NYC is not really cruise friendly until you get deeper into Queens or LI. I don't have any set destination in mind for us to drive to and don't want us to just go there and say "Now what do we do?" So as of now it will have to be spur of the moment thing until someone suggests a place worth going.
