    Sat Feb 18 could work. Anyone else?

    In the winter it's gonna be tough to find a spot indoors that doesnt charge. I guess we could rent part of a restaurant or "fun park", and collect a bit of $ from everyone.

    18th works for me.

    Does anybody live in an apartment complex or mobile home park that has a clubhouse/rec room on property that it's residents can reserve?

    Saturday wouldn't work for me at all, because that's the one day of the week I work a 13-hour shift. Monday would be better for me, but it seems like Saturday works better for most others.

    Tuesday and Thursday evenings are are the only weekday evenings that wouldn't work for me; any other evening or weekends will work fine though.

    For locations, anyone a member at a library where we could reserve a room?

    210 East 400 South
    Salt Lake City, UT 84111
    801-524-8200

    "An underground parking facility can be accessed from eastbound 400 South between 200 and 300 East. Parking in this city-operated facility is free for the first half-hour, then $1.50 per half-hour after that"

    but I bet there's parking nearby that doesn't charge after 30 mins.

    see Salt Lake City Public Library
    for more info.


    BUT keep in mind I haven't heard back - I just submitted the Request. I'll post when they get back to me.

    Parking at most meters in SLC is free for two hours at a time on Saturdays.

    I've been looking in Walmarts (Titan Masters, RID Legions, CW Skywarps), Targets (RID Legions, Titan Masters, Tiny Titans bags, RID Minicons, 1 or 2 TR Voyagers, RID Powersurge Prime), & TRUs (TR Legends, RID Minicons, 3-Step Bisks, alot of TR Galvatrons, RID Powersurge Prime, Fort Max) all over the valley, & they all are basically 94% empty in their transformers aisles. The only one i've seen that actually has some is the Taylorsville Walmart, having waves 1 & 2 TR deluxes, RID 2015 windblade, thunderhoof, quillfire, & scorponok, as of last night (Saturday) @ 6pm. Has anyone seen any TR Voyagers Optimus & Megatron, RID Blastwave, or TR Leader Six Shot?

    Just saw RID Blastwave, Stormshot, white Drift, Windblade, Strongarm and Grimlock at Centerville Target tonight. Also, the Walmart across the street restocked Blaster and Powermaster Optimus....AGAIN. At least 3 of each. I can't figure out why they're restocking the Leaders from Wave 1. They also had/have Chromedome, Scourge and Blurr.

    I found Blastwave, and the rest of that wave at the Orem TRU the other day. It was snowing and I had trouble logging in from my phone and then forgot later at home. I only bought the two, they are both quite cool. I debated getting him, since Bludgeon is supposed to be coming out eventually, but I really like the mold...so I'll likely end up with 3 of it.

    Reservation:
    Event Name: Utah Vintage Transformers Collectors
    Status: Confirmed
    Event Type: Private Rental Category 2

    Saturday Feburary 18, 2017
    2:00 PM to 5:00 PM
    Conference Room A.

    "you are scheduled to use Room A, which is located beneath the library’s main foyer, you can access the room using the foyer staircase (down the stairs and to your left) or you can use the elevator located next to the library’s auditorium. The Main Library books our spaces in blocks of time. Room A was available during our afternoon time block, 2pm-5pm."

    "Because this meeting is intended for organization members and because you are planning to have commercial transactions during the meeting a rental fee has been charged. The cost to use Room A for this meeting is $40.00"​

    I am willing to pay the $40 online in advance and I'll do it this weekend. It would be great if folks could chip in a little on that day to help with that.
    If you can't that's fine - still come anywau! :) 

    Sound all good?
