OMG! Too funny! You need to get Hals out on some more roadtrips, Tulsie! You'll get over that preciousness thing real "fast!"

I admit, though, that it will be good to have the self-serve carwashes scoped out!

Maybe I missed it, or maybe not are there dinner plans for Thursday night. I would love to meet you all face to face, and not sure I can afford to go to the Offical dinner on Friday (which reminds me is there going to be a vegitarian option at the friday dinner?)
Cheers

 

Working on it check back here we'll find somewhere to go. I'm not going to make it to the "Offical" Friday dinner either

For those on a budget, the diner/cafe in Palace Station was surprisingly good, and very reasonably priced. If you have a Station Casinos players club card with points on it, it becomes even more reasonable.

 

Sorry you can't make it to the Kick-Off Party! It's well-worth the price, just for the giftbag goodies, alone! And the food will be scrumptious. And remember people, this is a fundraiser to help cure autism, a very worthy cause!


Clover

 

I'm signed up for the a Friday night dinner. Paid and everything!

 

Woo hoooo! Very cool....see you there with plenty o' bling-bling on!

Special Menu Options!
Yes! Just make sure to PM me with your name and email address and we'll make sure. We've got a diabetic and a few others with special needs and have no problems accomodating that.

As for not being able to afford it, don't forget that while this is a fund raising dinner for CureAutismNow.org, I consider this MUCH more of an Event rather than a dinner. We've got thousands of dollars of MINI merchandise we are going to be giving away just for the price of a raffle ticket. Heck you'll get a ticket in your gift bag, just for pre-registering.

It's also a social event--we've got the restaurant from 6:30 to 10pm and we're all seated in an area that can accomodate 400 persons---reserved just for us MINI enthusiasts! So not only will you have great food, all of your MINI buddies in one place, you'll have chances to win prizes, and all pre-registered people will get a gift bag already valued at more than $35. We're going to have MINI videos playing on the giant video screen and games and more prizes. We even got a trivia game going on now. All you have to do is be able to answer questions at the event and you can win cool stuff. All the answers can be found either on our forum at http://c3club.org or here on the C3 forum on NAM. More games are being planned and will be announced shortly. Frankly, if you're planning on attending AMVIV, you don't want to miss this event.

Well she has had plenty of trips...I mean AZ is a huge state...at least compared to where I grew up on the east coast...I drive six hours from CT and I am in Maine and have crossed 5 states or something...out here we can drive 6 hrs and barely corss one state...ANd you Clo...A few years back I drove from san diego to montery...LOL...it's funny to me how we can just drive and drive out here and not leave the state...

 

Oh, I want to be there, don't give a bad time, but I had a little trade off with the wife. We're planning on seeing a show that night, then we get to do MINI stuff the rest of the weekend. I'm still going to make a donation the cause, just because I'm not going to be at the dinner doesn't mean I can't contribute right . I think that we will still have plenty of fun, the kids love Vegas anyway, and the MINIs make it even more fun.

Nik

 

A bunch of us from NorCalMINIs will arrive in Vegas Thursday by dinner time. I'm sure some if not all would like to join you.

 

:smile: Oh, sweetie! I have taken Wanda on two huge cross-country trips and believe me, I was even reduced to using the window squeegee to clean squashed bugs off her bonnet! I try to keep her looking her best, but having fun in her and getting to fantastic places and meets comes first!

Yeah...in the West, we can drive and drive and drive and still be in the same state! I hear ya, Tulsie!


Clover

 

I am an artist, and go to openings every week. What has totally stunned me, is that at every one of those receptions, when we get talking, inevitably, several people tell me that there are autistic children in their families, or that someone close to them has an child with autism.

:smile: Thank you so much, Nik, for caring about the autism cause. It really is important and I deeply appreciate your support. :smile:

I look forward to meet you during the meet! Come say hi to me!


Clover

 

Sounds great! Let's keep watching all the threads and we'll find some meeting points!

Clover

 

Yeah...it's in the plans...I hear ya...and I am jelous you have had TWO X COUNTRY TRIPS!!!...HA!!! I am werkin on it...the way things are going this year things are lookin good for a trip I have planned...HOWEVER!! must make it through vegas first!!...WOO HOO!!!

Hurray!!! We'll have great fun on Thursday! Whether we go out for burgers or pizza or anything else, we'll be in our MINIs, so we'll be ahead of the game!

Clover

 

Nothing in concrete yet for where to eat??? No real hurry since It is still a while away...
I JUST WANT TO GO NOW!!!
See you in Vegas Baby

 

Just as long as our feet don't end up in concrete, eh? I figure the week before AMVIV-2, we'll get into discussing the Thursday dinner ideas in earnest! :smile:

Bring your best MINI bling! Tee hee!

There's always a Sonic Drive-In MINI takeover.
According to their website, there's one located at 6455 WEST SAHARA AVENUE, and I believe the Palace Station is near Sahara Ave.

Andrew, any comments on the joint?

The Sin City MINI Club has had a couple of Motor Ins at that Sonic. The manager gave us 50% off drinks. Very cool. If someone is going to organize dinner there, I'll get you a contact number for the place.
Yes, Palace is on Sahara, and that Sonic is also on Sahara. Turn left (west) out of Palace and go a couple of miles, Sonic is on the left side of the road. At dinner time, the office building next door provides overflow parking for a decent number of MINIs.

 

What sayeth the MINI multitudes?


Or shall it be a pool party at the Palace?

 

If we could take our MINIs to the pool party - it could work

I think the Sonic drive-in sounds great and we could put the word out to have everyone park together in the lot next door.

I've never been to a Sonic but I keep hearing about it - sounds like fun!

 

i'm staying at the palace station leaving friday morning after school.

can't wait... so excited

 

Or, we could do something like we used to do at Netnics. 40 or 50 people would all go as a group to McDonalds, and all stand in the same line. Refuse all offers of another line. Everyone orders 2 ice-cream cones each. Nothing else.

We used to get some odd looks, but the 2nd year (and beyond) there was usually someone in the place who remembered us from the prior year.
