So believe it or not I did put a good amount of thought into this (lol) so hopefully I can address some of the points you guys just made...
I was planning on meeting in Fresh Meadows since its convenient for all boros and some "not so deep" LI people. From there we would drive as a group to LI to the bigger (non-Z) meet but meet up with the other LI people who didn't come into Queens. Then we all drive in together. I've been involved in 2 other car communities and car clubs for shows before getting my Z so I'm no stranger to this stuff. It's a great feeling when you roll into the meet or show with a large group (especially the same cars).
I think it's great to have our Wednesday meet still, but instead of rescheduling for Thursday and so on this Friday meet is opportunity #2 for that week which is already planned and not just made on who's around that night.
Oh and meeting in Fresh Meadows means we grab dinner at Hooters...just some incentive
and yes I have been known to get them to take pics with us and our cars for you pervs lol
