Hey Everyone. Who is up for a Monday night scooter meetup?

Philippe The Original is turning 100 this year and they are celebrating by offering sandwiches at .10 after 4pm on Monday.

In addition, coffee will be .05 and special guests will be: Roger the Peanut Man, Huell Howser ... And more, so check out the website.

http://www.philippes.com/

When: October 6, 2008 after 4pm
Where: Philippe The Original, 1001 N. Alameda Street, LA CA 90012 (1 block N of Union Station)
Why: To hang out where Anthony Bourdain and the Derby Dolls like to scarf down French Dips and meet scooter folk.

We can even do a ride around Dtown if you all are up for it, so I ask shall we ride before or after we eat?

MT

I've always wanted to try their French Dip.

Personally, I couldn't get down there till about 6:30 though . . . so maybe a ride afterward?

I may actually have a Monday afternoon meeting downtown, which would work out great. Not sure yet, but it's a possibility. How early are you planning on being there?

.10 french dip definitely makes it worth it!!!

all scooter tags were moved to the new scooter tag section of the forum

HEY ALL! Tonight is the night.

Just to confirm, most people can meet up a bit later, around 630-7 .... so lets do that and plan to ride around DTown after.

I may be there a bit early - so if you wanna coma early too! This event has been promoted, so expect that there will be a ton of people.

I'll have a short ride planned out around DTown (maybe we will ride the "art walk"), should we all feel up to it. But, more than anything it will be a cool place to hang out and MEET AND EAT!

See you later,
Molly
