Looks like the concert starts at 7, I thought later.. in Mariotsville.
Our friend is visiting for the weekend to sing in it.. so I guess we should go and hear her...

I wonder, how fast can I get from great Senaca to Mariotsville...
Maybe I can still work out both :D

So, we may see you all, we may not..

Please take some pics and post, especially if we can't make it.. I have this cool vision of MINIs running through the lights!

You realize run flat tires are only good for 50 miles on a flat...and don't you have a spare? it is a cooper, I thought all Coopers have spare tires

Oh well, I couldn't make it back to join the caravan.
I miscalcutated. After I left Dog Head to pick up my kids I thought I could get back in an hour, it took me almost hour just to get to my kids.
I will catch up with you guys next time.
By the way, has anyone gain weight tonight.

Lots of fun! I am happy to see so many people out to enjoy dinner and some lights! Just glad the clutch smell wasn't ours!

Jeremy, get that tire replaced!!! Man, that is so dangerous, and it's not cool to put yourself and others in danger...specially since it's on a drive wheel. Not to mention what it's doing to the wheel itself...

The lights were very cool, except I thought the burning clutch smell was me...scared the _______ out of me. I'm out of warranty
