Uff dah, antsy Dogwoods are no good. If you are not careful you will end up with an antsy MINI.

So does anyone want to give me there reservation for Fontana ?

My husband and I will be making the trip again this year and can't wait!! Last year I came after just having knee surgery and it wasn't as much fun for me, so this year, I get to bring my own MINI and maybe even get to drive!!! We will be staying in a cabin at the Fontana.

I really want to participate in the Iron Chef Chili Cookoff, can't wait for details...

Last year I was in shorts and a T shirt most of the time. Not "hot", just pleasant. Maybe a sweatshirt after the sun went down.

Bring a carfull of umbrellas. That will guarantee no rain.

Looks like Atlanta Mini's is taking a well deserved break this year, so it looks like there will not be a chili cook-off this year

But if you cook some, I know I'll find some people to eat it

It would be wise of you to pay attention to, sign up for and come to the 2nd Annual Dragon Brew Swap. Maybe we can get your beer there and even if not you'll be able to taste and swap for a lot of good beer.

SHAMELESS PLUG! Woohoo!

Registration for the Brew Swap should open relatively soon.

This is what I am hearing as well. Maybe another group will step up and lead it this year.

If not you'll still have plenty to do Friday night between the Brew Swap and the Drive-In!

I can tell you that there will be a pretty cool event going from Helix to the Dragon. What it is exactly, we will let everyone know later on. Believe me, you'll want to be there

Atlanta and DC seemed like they were going to have pistols at dawn last year shame though- I really appreciate(d) all and I mean ALL of the hard work and attention that both clubs contributed.

As it gets bigger and bigger, events have to become co-existant/optional/interactive rather than exclusive IMO. I'll miss ATLs touch of excellence

Equipped with your pulley and the GIAC's on the way. I will definitely show up for some good times at the Dragon.

I'm thinking about attending and I haven't even got my MINI yet. Ordered a '07, about a week ago and I think a nice ride from Woodstock NY to TN might be a good christening.
