AAAARRRRGGHHHHHHHHHHH....I'm so bent on going to this event beacuse I know it's truely one of the (if not THE) BIGGEST event for MINI enthusiast but I am a teacher and this event covers three full weekdays (TEACHING DAYS!!!!). YIKES!!! Not sure how to go about asking for that many days off consecutively!!!!!!!!! (frustrated)AAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!

 

Might I suggest, leaving the Fontana on Sunday so you can return on Monday morning to teach. I assure you won't miss much on Sunday. AND depending on where you live, you can arrive later on Thursday evening, since the event officially begins with the Welcome Dinner (hosted by our friends of MKO).

Does that help? You will want the Friday off to be at the Fontana by that morning -- and then you can be a part of all the fun.

Hugs,
PB

 

how about ....

the dog scattered all the home work and I had to collect it again.......

 

hey alpha-6

are you all right?
your sounding sick (in May) to me
i'll write you note, if ya want

 

If you're nice he won't even sign it Dr Kool in order for it to be believable...

 

Anyone want to get me out of my finals which are those days?

 

Oh my I think I just caught a horrible loooooooong term (they're saying January through sometime in May) case of MINIingitis!!!! , everyone knows that that's super contagious towards children....I can't do it to them- I can't !!!!! That would be horrible of me to pass on such a wretched inffection !!!!!!! I'm just gonna have to ask for that Thursday and Friday off and drive back Sunday all day!!! (some nice Carolina air is just the remedy!!!!) Anyone know how long the drive from Orlando, FL is???!?!?!?!!! I'm sure I'll be able to drive up with some of the MOO, BAM, or MOM people!!!

Now to get a place.......

 

Alpha-6, The Florida caravan made it up in time for the Welcome dinner on Thursday. I think I saw them pulling in about 4 to 5 PM. I’m not sure what time they took off in the morning, but they were there in time for the party to begin.

 

SCCCHHHHHHWEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTTT THANKS!!!!

 

mapquest (probably around 800 miles)
btw: i might be on a job site in Tampa (in May) and might be driving to the Dragon from Fla instead of NY

 

....well mixed emotions eh ??!?!

welcome to the neighborhood !!!!

 

see, i'll be able to hand write that (get out of whatever) note for you

 

You told me it was going to be earler in the year. Did they change the date on you?

If your down here at that time zoom over to my place and then zoom up with Clo, Andrew and I going in the back way across the Dragon to Fontana.

 

the future is hard to see
so are construction delays
i'll keep you a brest of the situation

 

Breast Don't get me wrong, but I don't know you that well.

 

Traded my 52,000+ mile 2002 Cooper (2-year Dragon veteran) in on a 2005.

Guess the new car will have to earn it's Dragon decals this year!!

 

Good one sndwave!!!!! Sorry it was at your expense Kool!

 

Well, I've made my reservation at Fontana--I guess I'm somewhat committed now. When I get the confirmation in the mail maybe it'll start to sink in.

 

I just made my reservation!!! Got a place over at the Inn and I must say that $52 price is all good to me! This will be my first Dragon Run so I'm super frikin' excited and looking forward to it!!!!

Looking forward to meeting new MINI enthusiasts and thank you for all that helped in my planning stages....... (cough, cough, man this MINIngitis is horrible )

i look at it as my own personal rollorcoaster and i can go as many times as i want

 

I CAN"T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

^^^^^^ sooooooo excited, you gotta post twice?

 

Yeah...and no admission ticket

 

Several of us who usually hang out in the Owners' Lounge that MINI USA hosts are planning to stay in what we've affectionately termed the "Nut Cabin" at Fontana - a three bedroom that is already hosting many!! For most of us, this will be our first MOTD! We're very excited about the whole thing - the chance to be around so many other MINI folks, the awesome motoring, the partying - not to mention the "camp for grown-ups" atmosphere. Can hardly wait!!

I'm planning to enter the Chili Cook-Off with the most amazing Appalachian Chili you've ever tasted! Any rules/guidelines - quantity to provide, etc?

Is it May yet?? - -
