Charlotte Auto Show Dinner 11/19

The Charlotte Auto Show will be in town 11/17 through 11/20.
This will be the first time for a MINI display at the Auto Show.

Maybe we can go as group on Saturday the 19th and do a meal uptown and go to the Auto Show together.

UPDATE

Here is the plan for Saturday Nov 19th.

We will meet at in the parking lot on the back side of the Convention Center. The parking lot is located on South Brevard St between East Second St and East Stonewall St.

Let's meet about 3:00 PM and we will board the Charlotte trolley at the Convention Center stop at 3:42 PM and take the short ride to 6th St and eat at Brixx Pizza.

We will get back on the Charlotte trolley at 5:26 PM for the short ride back to the convention center.

Once back at the Charlotte Convention Center we can go to the International Auto show together and check out the MINI display and all the other cars.

I will start a list here. I hope you can join us.

Sounds like a great idea! I don't know what is going on that weekend on the homefront, but I will pencil in that weekend to attend. It would be great to get together as a group and drive up there together. With all of your connections George, maybe you can hook us up with a front row parking space!

I've always wanted to go to this show.
Even cooler with a MINI in it.

This sounds like an event.

There is a large parking lot next to the Convention Center at S.Brevard and Stonewall. It cost $5.00, but is a safe place for the MINIs. I will see if there is any deal I can get for us on parking there. Parking is at a premium in uptown Charlotte.

Maybe we could park then ride the trolley up to Brixx Wood Fired Pizza.

We could have our meal then ride the trolley back and go to the AutoShow. If we wanted a longer trolley ride we could go to Atherton Mills and eat.

The trolley also has a stop inside the Convention Center.

Just some ideas, let me know what you think.

George,

Since I will already be there working at the show, I'm up for dinner so put me down. So you're planning on coming BACK to the show after your work shift?

Eric

Count me in as a real strong tentative. The way things look, I should be able to make it for the dinner, if nothing else.

Place me on the attending list with fingers crossed that my schedule doesn't get changed. As it stands as of right now, I'm not scheduled to work Saturday...

Great seeing everyone last night. I must admit that was some of the best pizza I've ever had! Hope to see everyone again at the Zentrum in December.
