I've mentioned it a few times, but I still think "car weekend" in Monterey in August would be a great time/place to have it. The eye candy is endless as you drive around town. For those interested in actual events, there are historic car races at Laguna Seca, The Concourso Italiano with endless italian cars, and multiple car autions at night. This year it's the weekend of August 15-17.

For those not interested in cars, there's the Monterey Aquarium and many beaches and other forms of entertainment.

If people are interested, I'd be happy to organize. I'm not sure how big/long of a meet we'd be interested in, I've only been to lunch/dinner meets, but ithe trend seems to be towards multi-day empeg-fests.
