It was awesome! It was so cool to just
pop on and see everyone (more than 25
people)! Lots of cool garages, lots of great
collectibles, lots of all things Porsche!
And best of all lots of great friends... but
let’s go back to the beginning.
Ok, it’s 8:25am; find the meeting
info on Facebook Mavs and Mochas...
go to my computer, pull up the browser,
type in “www.zoom.us”, got it. Click
on JOIN MEETING, now type in
the meeting ID number listed on the
Facebook M&M info and “PING” and
I’m in!!! It’s 8:30am and everyone is
here! That was so easy! Everyone said,
“ hello!”... the gathering was on!!!
This was a medicine for our
quarantined souls. We had the M&M
faithfuls, we had some new faces, we
had some former Mavericks who had
moved across country logged in, some
who popped in just to say hi and see
everybody and, thanks to Park Place,
we all got a number as we logged
in. At 9:30am Bill Kruder and Debi
assigned Landon’s son, Corbin to pick
a number. He chose 9, Derrick Tate!!!
Derrick got a $100 gift certificate for
parts or Porsche stuff from Park Place
Porsche and Patrick Huston, General
Manager!!! Lotsa fun!
Turns out you can login to the
Virtual M&M just as easy on your cell
phones. We all accompanied Peter Wen
as he drove over to The Nest Cafe to
join another group of seven Porsche
faithful to join us online together. More
virtual gathering awesomeness! This
certainly sets a precedent for future
Porsche meetups to
all be virtually
connected all over
the world.
