The people.

I love meeting new people, and the people I have met in the northwest are like no other community on this continent. It’s all about the karma system around here; “what goes around comes around.”

Last night Matt (aka tatmatt on the forums) came up to check out the clip and some other stuff from me, and he got a ride of from his friend Mark, who came with his R32 GT-R. I HAD to take some pictures:

It started out as a cold and extremely foggy Washington morning. We were expecting about 15 or so people and their cars to be meeting at Black Pearl teriyaki, noodle, and bubble tea, in Bellingham. Eddi and I ended up getting there late, as expected. We pulled up to be surprised to see around 25 to 30 people had taken to the parking lot of Black Pearl. For this area, it was a great turnout. Even Mark, in his project BMW all the way from Tacoma made it out.

We all introduced ourselves, took a peek at eachothers’ cars, and made a group decision that we were STARVING.

So the group flooded Black Pearl, and we occupied ALL of their tables and seats. It was most likely a first for them.

We stuffed our faces with Vietnamese cuisine and headed out, set for Chuckanut. But as we walked out, the weather couldn’t have been better. SUN was showing, and there wasn’t a cloud in the sky. Perfect conditions, save for the cold.
