Help! Need to get Nigel to someone going to the VA Beach MINI Guinness thing...

Help!

All, Nigel from Sunshine MINIs (the traveling stuffed Bulldog from SunShine MINIs) needs to get passed to someone else, especially for the world record MINI attempt this weekend. I've got 8 people coming in Friday to spend the weekend so I won't be able to attend and won't be able to meet to hand him off on Friday.

Idealy, if there is someone going that's within a half hour or so of Crystal City I'd like to run him by on my lunch hour which I can take whenever. I had set up to hand him off last night but that fell through. Alas I reworked my schedule so I could do it last night and now it would put me in a world of hurt to have to deal with it tonight.

It'd be a dirty rotten shame for him not to make it to the potential MINI record!

I could pick him up during my lunch break.

I can take the metro to CC.

OK! Or I'd gladly bring him to you... My desk phone is 703 418-3325...

All, Nigel's photo gallery is over at http://www.sunshineminis.org/gallery....php?album=210

Photos

If there is a way to get a photo with Nigel this Sunday, I know HRMINI would dig meeting him. We kind of have a mascot of our own, Sydney.... she had surgery to fix some cateracts.... and she can see!! Very Cool Stuff for the Syd.

Anyways, we'd love a photo op with Nigel!! Please come find us!!

Terribly sorry about that Mark... I honestly didn't think I'd be stuck at the office finishing up the server migration until after midnight!

OK, since I somehow have ended up with Nigel....I think I might as well come down saturday, so anyone who wants to have their Photo OP with him can.

Anyone know if any of the MINI-friendly lodgings still have a room?

No sweat Edge, as you know I'm in 'IT' and while it only happens for me once every year or two (knock on wood) once in a while I've pulled a all nighter!

Looks like we'll hand the pooch off in the next hour so all's good!

Edit: Thanks Ravana. I'm sure you guys will have a fun trip!

I hear ya guys, being woken up at 3:30 am and called in to run data validations is not my favorite friday night activity

Mark, thanks for making it so convenient.

I was gonna take a picture of Nigel on the metro, oh well gonna have to remember to do it later

Any ideas what I should do with him for what could be his last 2 days in DC?

Nigel must have the opportunity to sit on Einstiens lap while visiting DC and of course over to Ft Myers to see the horses there. Oh the list goes on as to what to do in DC with Nigel
