30% of the meet= nice clean cars.
70% of the meet= trash.
Can I haz free entreee?
Like I have said on the Facebook group page. It's quality > Quantity now. This has been a chill meet for free for 6 years (I even paid outta my pocket several times at riverside & bills), and idiots got it shut down at numerous places, Riverside being the best location. Same fate won't come to Wild Bills. People can pay $2 to be in a secured parking lot monitored by gwinnett PD and not worry about someone drifting into their car, run them or a family member over while walking or be worried about safety, and biggest of all....Have a place to actually have a meet. Gwinnett PD always had the meet surrounded (around the meet ready for a idiot), but now they will be inside to keep immaturity at zero existence. If you aren't doing anything wrong or have nothing to hide then you shouldn't be scared of Gwinnett PD being there, when they are only there for your safety. I rather put a cop there instead of wait till someone gets hurt then call a cop.
I like the fact now everyone realizes because of some idiot they have to pay. No one cared before when people carried out their immature acts and, and trashed the parking lot. Not a single person stayed back helped cleaning out the lot or stop a fight or told someone to stop burning out, but now the idea of hiring cops, putting a live DJ out, getting a crew to run the lot, and making a quality meet for $2 per car sounds stupid.
I'd love to keep it free, but cops for 3-4hrs cost a pretty penny. Plus the funds will be used to rent the parking lot, put more trash cans, hire a sweeper truck, putting a Live DJ outside when Funds allow, full filling other needs, and let the meet grow into a quality meet from here on.

$2 is cheap for a place to meet. If you can't afford $2, then stay at home. This is life, nothing is "free" - someone always has to pay. Why should someone else pay for you to have a place to hangout at?

I can't believe these cheap ass people complaining about paying $2! really?! If it's for a safer more secure meet why not?? Actually, this may help weed out the ricers, high school racer wannabes and loser that really have nothing to offer except nasty riced out cars and no class! If you can't afford $2 and deals with GPD then just don’t go it's that simple! I bet that all of the good quality people with decent cars will show up, let the broke ass, high school racers, and hill billies find another spot. I will be there with my $2.

Sonny isn't the money it is the cops. Just can't stand them. But I will give this meet a try. This new policy starts this Thursday?
ill be there along with my team revolution. Hey sonny can you save middle spots again? danny P. told mt to ask you again
Sorry for the noob question. Is this the Wild Bills weekly Thursday meet?
yeah it is
With the money going to better the event, I don't see the problem.
If you have a problem with police, then you're probably the type of person we don't want at the meet, because most law abiding ppl don't care about police presence.
If you can't afford $2, than you shouldn't be mad at sunny, you should look in the mirror and ask yourself why you're so broke.
People drive too fast in the lot, rev their shitbox too much, and there's just too much general douchebaggery. Hopefully this will keep the idiocy to a minimum.
And I love the concept of quality > quantity.
I think the $2 thing is more a principle than price issue for some. The $2 is not an issue for me, and I am not really too worried about my personal safety (wink wink, nudge nudge). But for me, it takes from "sure, I'll take the nice car to work and make an effort to swing by on the way home" to "C&O is free, and the level of vehicles is 10000000 times better, why waste my time?"
Car meets are like Tittys. I will gladly glance at just about anything for free. But, would it make sense to take my hot chick to the Pink Pony and Pay to look at some old flappy beat up fun bags?
Shoulda made it five dollars lol
You can't stop a car coming at you or your car after loosing control even at 20mph, nor can you dodge a swing meant for someone else, but got introduced to you nor can you stop a crowd from instigating a fight. All you can do is protect yourself, and pack up then leave. I am trying to keep everyone there safe, given most can stand their own, but I am not letting it get to that point. Like I said, I rather have Gwinnett PD there on spot than having to call them after a incident has happened. It's the simple presence of Police that will stop the immaturity because it won't be, "Am I gonna get caught if I peel out?", but more "I am def gonna get a ticket or jail time if I peel out". Just like someone went to jail & got his car impounded few meets ago for drifting.
C&O has shit tons of sponsors & vendors, which we don't have. There is police presence at C&O, and they are out in force. I was working with what vendors paid before, keeping cost at bare minimum so it can be a FREE meet, but that obviously didn't work out. Organized car meets aren't free, not IA, nor C&O if the costs aren't covered. You can get in pink pony for free only to be kicked out like the Gwinnett Meet has been from previous locations, but now we are trying to make it from flappy beat up fun bags to more of hot chick. Quality > Quantity

Gwinnett Meet 09/13/12 Details:
1) It is $2 (per spot) to Park at Gwinnett Meet.
2) Only 1 entrance from Mall Blvd will be open. Entrance coming through back side of Wild Bills will be closed.

4)Each Trash Can will be marked by a Balloon, please put trash in cans. Littering will not be tolerated by Gwinnett PD or the Meet Crew.
5)Do not park at the Mall. "Mall security will have unattended cars towed", exact words that came from them.
6) DO NOT do anything stupid. I really don't want to see anyone get ticketed, car impounded or go to jail. If a matter comes up, leave the meet area. Everything around the meet area isn't safe for any immaturity.
7) All the meet attendees will have a FREE entry to Wild Bills (21+, Discounted $5 under 21), get FREE VIP Bands for the VIP Lounge. Everyone will be able to purchase products from vendors at a discounted rate available only at the meet.
Ill be there!!
Had an interest in going to these meets but after seeing what kind of attendance showed and seeing some hustler trying to make a quick buck off everyone that wants to attend confirms my lost of interest.
Looks like I'll take the 4 out. What's a good time to show up?
Turbo all wheel drive? Like that's new?
+1
I wouldn't mind having a paid meet every once a while. I can see it filtering a lot of stuff out and giving the creator to have more resources to improve the meet, (things like DJ, security, etc)
Just sayin'
If I wanted to go someplace to listen to music, I'd go to a concert/show. When a point is made that security is needed, I'm no longer interested. Who the hell wants to go to a meet where it's unsafe?
I'll be there, I just counted my 200 penies! lol...
Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to hide the bodies of the peoples I had to kill because they pissed me off,
8pm-8:30 before we start getting packed out.
See y'all tonight.
So curious...if I bring $20 can I buy 10 spots for the night? That way I can park my truck sideways?
Im thinking of riding up. I am bored. Does everyone just hang out in the parking lot? Im not really feeling up to clubbin on a Thursday when I have to work tomorrow.
Immature people will remain immature $2 or not. I came up to the meet to discuss putting on a bikini model photoshoot but was greeted by a fat bastard and a joke of kid with too much attitude.
I can not agree with this as many others have stated but here's my 2 cents anyway.
1. It is a public parking lot, we come out to meet people with similar interest and admire the hard work (although sometimes misdirected as such).
2. This is a meet not a car show.
3. Who ever you are using for "security" need to check their A-hole attitude at home. They can even make it as a mall cop so chill.
4. Last time I checked we are still living in a democratic society, and being a public meet I do not recall or have seen a call to vote on this imposed fee.
Sonny you have done a great job with organizing the meet so far but for the above reasons unfortunately I will not be attending anymore (I'm sure many others feel the same way and I am certain most of them are not instigators of idiotic actions). It's really too bad because I was really hoping to help this thing grow.
How many fools paid the $2 tonight?
A Bunch, because it was packed! and it was calm, and there were no fights, and no burn outs!
Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to hide the bodies of the peoples I had to kill because they pissed me off,
Yes sir!
A Bikini Model Photo shoot?? WHAT A STUPID IDEA!! REALLY?? AND YOU THOUGHT THAT WOULD HELP THE MEET GROW!? Yeah Right! It don't sound like you have much to offer!
There is a handful of negative people like you that like to criticize the efforts Sunny is doing to keep this meet going, but there are way more that understand why he's doing it and it showed tonight with a great turn out.
By the way, while must of us was walking around enjoying the meet, talking to our friends, chilling, talking about cars and what not, Sunny was walking around picking up trash, attending the entrance, and dealing with the GPD. I don't know about you but that didn't look like too much fun to me! It seem like he's putting alot of effort in to this meet, so that some idiot that don't even contributes to the cause can sit there and criticize his efforts!
If you don't like it, then don't go! Geez! I don't think you'll be missed!
Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to hide the bodies of the peoples I had to kill because they pissed me off,
I went an i had mad fun and met some new friends......Wanna be security what are you talking about the security was GPD how unofficial can that be.... big ups to sunny a+ meet
That is not a public parking lot. It is private property.
Please find a public parking lot where everyone can just hang out for free. Here's a hint - you won't. Someone always has to pay.
Parking lot is Wild Bills - they have the right to refuse you entry, impose a parking fee, have your car towed, etc. if you park in their lot. It is not public parking.

Thanks to everyone who came out last night and supported the meet. We hit capacity, all the trash stayed out, and Gwinnett Meet was a SUCCESS. It was nice, chill, and laid back. 1st time in years I didn't have to tell a single person to stop doing something stupid. I loved the fact people were actually walking around freely instead of dodging cars. NO speeding through the lot, NO acting a fool, NO immaturity as well. As the meet progresses resources will be used to give back to the meet. We will not loose another Gwinnett Meet location over actions of few people. Gwinnett Meet will go down & be known as a NO BS meet, started yesterday and years to come.
Thank you Import Atlanta for Supporting the meet.
