Temporarily? Like 56 days, So a counterfeit MINI and the courtyard room overlooking I-15...not the most romantic weekend Plus it was hard chasing you guys down in a 4-door Colbalt

 

Just made my reservations!! (Wed-Mon)
Can't wait to have my Key Lime Martini at Red Square!! YUM!

Jim

 

Look forward to seeing you there Jim....nice pic work at the Valley of Fire last year (still using it for my screensaver!!) Just wish the wife was awake for the picture...she's always sleeping in the car

 

Finally...got off my butt and made reservations. Should be more fun this year without having to get up early to drive to Palace. Of course should make the nights more fun also! haha

 

AMVIV VI will be March 26-29, 2009. The hotel group rate for the 2009 event is not open yet.

 

Sounds like quite a few from our area are headed down on Wednesday...need to figure out a meeting place to caravan.

 

I'm hoping to be there on Monday (8/24) with my work picking up the tab!

Jim - I'll make sure they keep the Red Square bar frozen for you.

Tim

 

Yup....and still hoping to get a hug. I might even bring beer with me. That should work.

 

Hugs are free, silly.

 

I'd take some Canadian beer if it's on offer.

 

Calgary, Alberta. Rooms are booked!!! YAY

 

Just called the Palace Station. Booked two rooms, Tower with a Garage View. Our first AMIV. Bringing the GP and Cristina, our daughter, is bringing her car and a friend.

Looking forward to it !

 

Chief - I can't belive that you haven't been to an AMVIV before

You'll definetly enjoy it!

 

I am smuggling some to the Fall Dragon run... CDN Beer that is, and CDN maple syrup

 

Email me a couple of those Canadian beers if you get time, will you?

 

I just talked to Palace Station. At 9:30am on 10/18, over 5 months from the event, there are 118 rooms booked on our group rate. Our total room allocation is 320. You guys have already booked more than 1/3 of the available rooms. *applause*
Looks like it might be a big event this year.

 

So the last few years were SMALL events?! Only in Vegas, baby.

And the best beer commercial that sparked a HUGE NATIONAL PRIDE movement... Molson, on Canada Day, actually flew him across the Country doing that speech... Chopper would land, he would run out, do his thing, run into the chopper and onto the next city, from coast to coast

A few weeks ago, there was a motorbike event at Cashman, they had 40,000 bikes here. 500 MINIs is a good start, but I know we can do better.

 

Can u imagine 40,000 minis??? Now that would be a huge event.
I wonder how many we'll have this year. I know Brad and I are bringing both minis for sure

 

I think if it ever gets to 40,000 MINIs and Minis, we're going to need more people organizing it.
I'm kinda thinking that 600-700 is about the natural size of the event. It's mostly west coast and southwest cars with a solid turnout from the mountain and midwest regions. There are only so many enthusiasts in the drawing area who can take the time off to drive to Vegas. Of course, I'm always happy to see more MINIs show up and I get as big a kick as anyone watching the registration count climb.

 

I'm going to try and talk the Mrs into coming out again this year. We missed last year

 

Hey Agro [i'm too lazy to read the whole post]

When does registration for the event open up?
I got my room booked already

 

So...I went back to the courtyard rooms this year. The tower is nice but $120 is cash in hand. Anyone want to tell me the courtyard rooms are NOT far better now than they were a few years ago and it's bad deal?

 

WOOHOO 1 less tower room available, been looking forward to this since last year, now just need to get time off from work
