------------------------------------
NOTE: Some of your members may have already made reservations, but since we don't ask what car our attendees are driving I have no way of knowing.
I was talking with Ray, and we thought that if you'd like to get here early you would be welcome to have all the Minis park together somewhere in the lot. You would also be welcome to distribute any club literature you may have, we could introduce you as the President of the Mini club as well during our announcements if you like.
Regards,
Allen Patterson

I guess we should put together a list of who's going and see if we want to try to get there a little early so we can park together or what. Currently I think I can get off work and will be there. Might have some trouble getting up early on a Saturday though... :D

[TWISTER]

I'll be there at 9

[simplygriff]

What are you gonna do at 9? I was thinking of getting there around 9:45 at the earliest since they said it won't really get started til 10.
-G

[TWISTER]

prob wash the car up and make it look a little better than it does already! :) :)

[simplygriff]

Are you gonna wash it there? Do they have some kind of washing facility? Mine's nasty...
-G

[TWISTER]

There has to be one near there. I'm talking somewhere on the way there

[simplygriff]

Oh... So what time are you planning on getting to Korman? Have you heard form anyone else who might go?
-G

[TWISTER]

Prob 9:30 and not a word from anyone else. I sure hope some show though.

[simplygriff]

Alright... I'll either wash my car Friday night or Sat. AM and meet you there then. :) I hope some other people come out too.

Hey Mark -

To be there at 9:30, are you gonna leave about 8:30? I'll be at your house about 8:30 and run over there with you if you want.

If its raining the slightest i'm bailing. I have so much to do and was hoping it was going to be a beautiful day. I'll post here first thing sat morn if I go or not and if I do sure lets go over together.

[Bullfrog]

Sounds good. My to-do list is longer than the MINI, but you can't let that stop you from going for a ride!

[TWISTER]

I'm really hoping my new decals get put on this weekend. Then I'll be up for a ride

[simplygriff]

Weather report I saw this AM said 20% chance of rain into Sat. AM and then it's supposed to stop. If you're not gonna make it let me know. I don't want to be the only Mini at a BMW event ya know...
-G

[TWISTER]

Like I said I'll post here if I do or dont. maybe we can gather later in the day in KVILLE

[simplygriff]

That could work. I'd love to do another Hwy 66 run to try out my new suspension goodies. ;)
-G

[TWISTER]

I'll be there! Rob come on over anytime

[Bullfrog]

Will 8:30 work ok?

[simplygriff]

We had a real nice time this weekend with you guys. I need to check out my camera. I think I got some great shots of us all cleaned up and looking pretty. Sorry I was late and tahnks for letting me get in the middle of the pack with you guys. ;) Did anyone tag or find out who had the DS car near the entrance? I saw it on the way out but didn't have a chance to tag it.
-G

[TWISTER]

Thanks to everyone who came out. We saw some great cars and it was nice to show off ours to a few BMW folks. Most seemed really interested!

[simplygriff]

AH! TMI TMI! HAHA.... Hope you guys had fun. ;)

I got my pics off the camera this AM but still need to resize them. They looked good though. How'd that new camera do Mark?
