MINI Ad Agency Run: Chicago Edition / Aug. 6th
Yes the rumors are true, BSSP (MINI's new advertising agency) will be taking their show on the road with the first stop being Chicago. Fresh from their acclaimed MINI run in San Francisco, BSSP will be sharing with Chicago MINI owners the current state of MINI (in advertising and the marketplace) and offering us a glimpse of upcoming MINI advertising. I've been promised that it will all be very cool stuff! Nothing "business-y" . . . just really fun news in true MINI fashion. This will be a unqiue opportunity to get a sneak peak what the future will bring for the MINI brand as well as hit some great roads. It's sure to be an event to remember!

When: Sunday August 6th at 9:00 am. We'll be gathering for a bit of nourishment at Patrick MINI in Schaumburg before heading out to the back roads of Lake County for an abbreviated version of last year's fall drive. Once we get back to Patrick, BSSP will be offering us a full lunch before their presentation.

Where: Patrick MINI (Google Map)

Who's Invited: This event is open to all MINI owners.

RSVP: Yes! Please RSVP by responding to this thread, or the post in the Chicago MINI Motoring Club site.

What to bring: Cameras! As you can see, there were some fantastic photos taken at the San Francisco event. Let's do what we can to top that!

 

This sounds like fun, and it looks like I should be able to make it. Any other Milwaukee-area folks interested? Want to drive down together? Post up!

 

Looks like *Isabella* and I are planning to attend! (just have to get a few more ducks in the row before we officially sign up)

 

Well, it was a successful run, and upwards of about 50 MINIs (and one classic Mini) showed up. The wrap up with links to pictures can be found here. Thanks to CMMC, BSSP, and Patrick MINI for a great day!
