And it's at 9/10am on a Sunday; 50% of Richmond's population doesn't wake up until 11am anyway
One that note, its still a big parking lot, think we'll be able to tell each other apart? At least Russ Baker McDanks its easier to spot everyone and its not necessarily out of the way for late comers

The park and ride is actually a good suggestion. I'm very familiar with that area too.

The McDonalds on Russ Baker has a very small parking lot, it can take maybe 5-6 cars MAX in addition to the regular patrons they have.

Maybe someone that arrives early could have their hazards on? Or park like a jackass. Either way it's a pretty clear indication of where the meet up is.

Captain Picard should show up first. Everybody knows what he drives since he reminds us every chance he gets.

It's a big parking lot that will be 90% empty because it's a Sunday. The only people that park there on the weekends are the people who work in the nearby mall, and they all park in a cluster next to Sexsmith. Even on weekdays, it's only at around 40% capacity because people prefer to use the Bridgeport Park and Ride that's connected to the Canada Line. The mall employees park in a cluster again, and transit users park in a cluster next to Garden City. At 40% capacity, there is still a huge open space in the middle of the lot.

Count me in if it's not raining. Flag me down if you see the smallest Datsun in the world.
