TSB, I don't think you'll be too hard to pick out in a crowd, as long as people aren't standing too close together!

 

I picked her out in a second That yellow MINI was hard to miss

 

And i wasn't even with the mini

 

As per last nights conversation about rooms dwindling at the Fontana I called up today and booked myself for from the 3rd through the 8th. I'm doing this before I even requested off from work, but I did talk to my boss earlier inthe year and he said it probably wouldn't be a problem. Hopefully it won't be...

 

Well, aren't you a Commander? Shouldn't you be in charge?

I'm allergic to responsibility.

 

 

I booked on the way out of town last year. We'll be back in the same cabin.. we loved being RIGHT across from the Activity-Center-Thing-Whatever-Its-Called. I'm hoping to drive from MI to FL on the Sat/Sun the week before, then spend a few days there, then drive from FL to Dragon on Thurs w/ a friend, then Dragon to MI w/ the MMMC people on Sunday. Whew! Lots of driving.

Just booked my room for the Dragon, Fontana Inn, May 3-7. According to RandMcnally.com it's almost 10hrs.

Shhhh. It'll be my first time

Anyone from the DC metro area (or anywhere in between) leaving on the 3rd?

 

I'd love to go on the third, but i don't think the people i'm staying with will be going that soon... and i live 30 minutes from Richmond.

 

I'll probably be leaving on the 3rd. Not sure who else is. Still a bit too far away (time-wise) for me to have any definite plans though.

 

CmdrVimes--
unfortunately I got excited and commited. I really need to break that habit.

TSB--
Without sounding creep. We have 2 doubles in our room and we only need 1. I'm pretty sure we can split the room that night if you wanted to head out on the 3rd. Then again, it is 6 months away.

 

Post this on the DCMM forum and you should get some hits

 

The DCMMers will most likely have a caravan down to the Dragon. Keep an eye in this and the DCMM forums!

Unfortunately, I most likey won't be making it down this year. I'll be in school at Pensacola, FL.

Hello All

This is my first Post in NAM and I feel it is appropriate that it deals with the Dragon. My name is Pat and I am a member of Ocean State Mini Club up here in Rhode Island. I have heard of the Dragon since my wife bought her Mini (Jester) 18 months ago, in fact the Dragon is the reason I am buying an 06 MCS in January. But lets get to the point,. I will be leading a small group down from New England and I was wondering about any helpful tips you could give me that havn't already been givin in this thread.

Thanx, and I look forward to meeting as many of you as I can.

 

It's official that I have a room reserved now. Got my paper copy of the reservation in the mail today. Of course I did see the charge on my CC a few days ago.

So I know I have a room, I just don't know the specifics of actually arriving and checking into that room yet.

golden_child, if you check the DCMM forum you will notice that there is a call out to members for a meeting at our current president's house for planning of the volunteer effort. Something might come up at that meeting about a caravan.

 

Well we are all looking forward meeting you.

Woot!

I have been waiting for a long time. I can't wait to come out an play! I will be bringing anyone that wants to follow (if they can keep up )! I will be leaving out of Omaha, So I would love to meet the Denver, StL, KY, TN crowd! Hopefully there will be some familiar faces from the King's Island Italian job premier!!!!

 

Maybe we can get Todd Pearson to make up some decals or something? One-offs would probably be too expensive, but something we could each write on would be cool.

 

There will be 10 of us heading down around April 30th including the Future King/Queen of Nebraska

 

Todd's said he'd be willing to help. From a cost, time and complexity standpoint, it'd probably be easiest to have a kind of "hello my name is" temporaryish decal for our MINIs that we could write our NAM (and real names?) on. Has this been done? Would the MotD organizers want to make this a part of the registration package?

 

Somebody sold these last year, that's in addition to the customized name badges that were sold last year as well... The name badges did well, but I don't recall seeing any of the "auto nametags" on more than 3 or 4 cars at most...

 

This info has been passed on to the MOTD Registration Chair.

 

My wife and I will be departing from Waldorf, MD. Not sure if going straight through on the 4th or starting on 3rd with a stop-over somewhere within 2 - 3 hours of the Dragon.
