We park on the street.
The park has no parking lot. But that street has plenty of shade all day, restrooms are close, and we can park all three of us along the street - No problem.

Raining at the moment but it should be cleared out by noon. I'll see you guys there.
Getting ready to head out that way in a bit..should be there around 1.
GREAT MEET! 5 cars, 6 guys. Best in two years!
Pics coming...
Definitely a good time. Yeah posts some pics as I totally forgot to take any. We'll have to do it again for sure.
Yep, def a great time! Weather even played nice. Though that drive was looooong..about 3:45 each way
The days weather looked bad the night before, but by 1000AM the skys cleared and the temps were perfect. I got there, as promised, at 1200 and settled in for a long boring day by myself but by 1300 folks started showing up. Yea!

The PC/Laptop installs were not new, but the implementations were unique. Jeezer had open Mobile tied to an arduino card.

And Ryan had RR tied to a microprocessor sending and receiving info from his CANBus.

BlueZX3 told us about the DFX5 Voice app which really sounded like it would be a leap forward in Voice I/O.

Most stuck around till 5PM and we said our good byes and so ended the first St Louis MP3Car meets in over two years.
It was a good time, looking forward to doing it again in hopefully less than 2 years.
It was a great time.... lots of great ideas... lets keep it up :)

Sorry I missed this. Had a baby about 7 months ago and had no time to even consider looking at trying to go to a meet. Not to mention, I thought they were dead, lol. However, I was thinking that in order to get more people at the meets, maybe the group associate itself with another, larger, group, like the STL Arch Reactor hackerspace? I have yet to be at one of their meetings, but hope to be soon, and CarPCs are definitely within the hackerspace realm. Thoughts?
