I'm fairly certain I can be there on Sunday! Might catch the tail-end of Saturday if I get off work on time and don't hit traffic in SB

That 101 Freeway construction setup is a pain right now, any idea when they are going to finish it?

Is Cars&Coffee still happening with the current weather? I'm still planning on making the main event, but not sure if I'll be at Cars&Coffee

@street.credor

Its on rain or shine, but the weather on Sunday morning is expected to be clear anyway.

Of course, it's pouring now.

Gotcha; yeah it's been raining hard all day, but guess that just means less rain for Sunday? 🤞

We are a go for the meet and greet tonight, and both events tomorrow! It looks like the worst of the storm has passed us by here in Ventura, this morning blue sky is visible!

Unfortunately, the mountain passes are still closed and the large nature of SoCal means some areas to the south may still have remnants of the storm. I'd urge everyone to use common sense and maximum safety today and tomorrow. If you don't feel safe coming, we will see you on the next one. Yes, there could be the next one!

You were right to cancel, no need to be in a bad situation. I'm looking forward to seeing your two mugs at the next one, whenever that is.

Who doesn't like free stuff!? @SurferJohn even pulled from the Vault so now my wife and I have to do rock, paper, scissors for the premium leather Watch Crunch watch sleeve. Not gonna lie, I'll cheat to win this one if I have to!

@SurferJohn thank you for organizing this meetup and good venue selection for the main event. I enjoyed meeting my fellow watch enthusiasts and hope the next meetup will build upon the success of this one.
