Yep, I'm going. Made my room reservation awhile back. Things are good here. I need to get down there for another event.

:D More roof top dri- erh, talking!

Bringing my car this year. Not certain about a co-pilot yet. I may make the trip solo, this year. Brutal drive, though, with no one to talk to or take over driving.

Registrations have been open for almost 20 hours now, and I've received about 50 paid registrations already. I guess there was "pent up demand" as the economists say.
JC, I'll be keeping an eye out for your registration. You know you're gonna come, you might as well just give in and register now.

Hey Agro, any way to prune the AMVIV email list?? I seem to get triplets or quadruplet notices on each email blast.

Brutal.. Ok it may be rough.. but try this drive.... I think it will be more brutal then yours...

Hell, it is 17 hrs to the Dragon for me.

I think in each email there is a link to get to the list control page to remove yourself.
If that doesn't work for you, send me an email with the addresses you want removed and I'll unhook you up.

The SENT TO address in all 3 emails is : amviv_list@sincityminiclub.com

So there is no way to know which email address it was sent to. Analyzing the headers doesn't help either.

I'll PM you the address it doesn't need to send it to, if they are even on there.

That is the event, but I'm coming up on Wednesday and leaving on Monday. Battling Sunday traffic down to Los Angeles isn't fun, and going up on Wednesday allows me to relax when I get to the event. In all the years I've gone, there have been accidents that shut down the freeway, sandstorms, and other unexpected delays. =)

Same here, a group of us are headed there on Wednesday, and going home on Monday.
Sunday traffic is ugly heading back to CA.

Well I would be interested if the travel itinerary matched up close.

I am still working on logistics.. tis a bit of a drive for us... 36 hrs straight driving by the speed limit.

looks like as per mapquest, the only place our routes are the same, are at Grand Junction area of Utah... where 70 meets 15.

mapquest Midland, ON to Las Vegas NV and you will see our drive.
