2019 West Coast Cruise

I just left the hotel and the group rate is under “SOC”. 

The 2019 West Coast gathering will be June 7th, 8th, and 9th.

The host hotel is:

Quality Suites San Luis Obispo
1631 Monterey St., San Luis Obispo, CA 93401
Hotel 805-541-5001
www.qualitysuitesslo.com

25 rooms at the rate of $229.00 have been secured for us for this event. You must call and reserve your room before April 29th, 2019. After that there is no guarantee you'll get a room. When you are booking your room tell them it is for the SOC.  If you call after that date let them know you're with the group and you MIGHT still get the price but is based on availability so book early.  If you book and need to cancel later on post it here first and maybe you can transfer the room to someone else.

There is no obligation to stay at the host hotel, it just makes it easier to socialize, mix, mingle, party, drink or whatever it is you want to do, and keep track of who is attending. If you want to stay somewhere else that's fine just make sure you make it there Friday evening to pick up your cruise packets with lunch and dinner tickets, t-shirts, cruise maps, and etc.

I'll be posting more information later regarding t-shirts, Saturday lunch, and the Saturday night dinner.

As always if you'd like to bring an item for the raffle it'd be greatly appreciated.

Hey @Robert M, where are we regarding hotel reservations?  Are there many rooms left?

There are rooms left and because you prompted me to do so I have emailed the hotel to check on how many are left.

TheMayoMachine has booked a room for the 2019 West Coast Cruise!

We are excited to see everyone again!

Made our rez.

I, too, will be attending this year's soiree...so put me in the lineup. However, like last year, being the old retired guy on a fixed income, I'll be racking up the street at the University Inn @ almost half the price ($129/nt.).  We should have another exceptional weekend - especially the NorCal PCH caravan - just keep chanting the mantra: "No Slides...Open Road, No Slides...Open Road, No Slides...Open Road." Someone might want to kill a chicken or two, though, for good luck in that regard! 

In!

Will there be name badges? I cant come if we dont have name badges.

What about Alfonso Bedoya's famous quote in The Treasure of the Sierra Madre?

Booked for now, depending on the graduation schedule I should be good to go.

I just reserved my room at the Quality Suites SLO.  Hopefully my wife will join.  
How many years have you done this gathering in SLO?

@Terry Nuckels or @MusbJim could probably answer that. This is my 4th year attending and my first year organizing it.

We've been doing it at this hotel since 2013 at least. Before that we were at Morro Bay for a few years and Paso Robles before that.

All of these events were light years ahead of the original meets at Knotts Berry Farm starting in 2004...

John Leader Alfenito and Bruce Williams did the first one.

Wow! You get to my age and the memory starts to fade...but I do recall my first West Coast Assemblage ....2009 in Morro Bay. I believe that was the year some "feathers" got ruffled, nicht wahr?!

@Kevin - Bay Area  Kevin, the first SOC West Coast Cruise was 2005 in Paso Robles.

Glad you'll be able to join the shenanigans this year.
