That's cool A.
It'll be nice for you to just kick back and not have to worry about stuff.

 

So did anyone chat with Kevin from MINIUSA at the Dragon? Nice guy, but for a PR person, didn't seem to understand the MINI community or want to understand us. He didn't have much information on MTTS (except for a gazillion postcards) and MINIUSA didn't give him much information for a newbie... they didn't even him set him up with a MINI. I was curious if he even got a ride on the Dragon. My favorite thing was hearing him chat with an owner from St. Louis and suggest that they attend Boston... isn't Sheboygan (Chicago) closer? I think I better check my MTTS 2006 Road Atlas, then again it might have Colorado bordering Florida.

 

Maybe MINI USA is with their employees as Apple is with theirs.
They don't give them any info and can fire them just for dwelling in Apple rumors with customers.

 

That's a shame.
In MTTS'06 every MINI USA attendee was really in to the brand, event, etc, etc - fun people. Maybe Kevin was just unfortunately new to the brand and "dropped in the deep end"

 

He seemed very excited about MINI scoring the Goo Goo Dolls for the Miami event though! Who knows, I might have been about 15 years ago! (No offense to any Goo Goo Dolls fans out there...just not what I expected I guess)

He was also good at making a quick exit if anything was mentioned about the location choices or distances.

 

Haha... seriously-- the "Chicago" event is... yeah.

 

Maybe they'll get CTA to play on an 'L'.

 

We'll be in Pasadena!

 

Hello Mini Friends,

We have paid for Boston. Is any driving up from Miami? We are coming from Eastern PA and was hoping to hook in with a gang that is driving up. Who all is going to Boston..Have they listed places to stay yet?

 

Information for the Boston venue has already been posted.

It appears they're posting them in chronological order so SoCal will most likely be posted last.

 

Thanks JC. Sure was nice to go to MITM1 and not have to do any organizing stuff (other than pimp AMVIV at the dinner)!
I'm not sure yet if my wife is going to be attending. I'm thinking that if she comes, we'll take the yellow 03, if it's just me, maybe I'll drive the classic.

MINIUSA contacted me before AMVIV this year wanting info on how we run the Boot N Bonnet and asking if they could send someone to check it out. I of course said yes, but she never made it down. Last week I got an email from the woman who was supposed to visit wanting to know if she could call me to ask questions, I said yes and gave her my number. No call yet. I think they are pretty swamped with the whole thing right now.

 

So, I may be going to Boston, I may not be. I went ahead and shipped my Mini to Baltimore this week (from Bremerhaven), so I'm confident it'll be in Baltimore in time. Just need to figure out if I have the weekend free, or if I have to haul **** somewhere else instead. Paid my fee, got my parkshein, etc.

Anyone else coming in from overseas for this? Roberg shipped his Mini to the Netherlands last year for that gig. Me, it's just dumb luck on the timing of it all....

 

anyone here rumors about the band for boston

 

What? Are they getting back together again.. I love Boston, time to pull out the Ipod.

 

nah, I think one of them died.

 

/mourn

 

While it would've been interesting for MINIUSA to book the band "Boston" to play at the Boston event, there's always another great band from Boston...Aerosmith!

 

I am driving up on the 19th staying at Doubletree Bayside. We live in DE so I will be leaving around 8AM
BEP/2006 MCSc

Yeah but... Road America! I make the drive through Chicago to Road America quite often and, yeah, I always dread the Chicago portion with tolls, traffic, bad drivers, and construction but once you're through it goes pretty quickly. If you're going to be in Chicago and have the extra day I think it would be worth it.

I'm glad they're doing it this way and I'm looking forward to it.

 

I know of a few people from SSM who are going part way. Don't know anyone going all the way. We're just starting to piece together the itinerary from Miami to Boston with what's going on in each place and nearby hotels. Check out this link often to look for updates as we put it together.

See ya in Miami!

 

They're still together and touring. Playing this weekend in Vegas with Styx. $25 tickets at the Thomas & Mack.

Fabulous Las Vegas, regularly visited by your favorite 70s and 80s bands.

 

i am doing MIAMI MTTS and will be coming from memphis. leaving wed. and staying in GA (probably) then driving the rest of the way thurs. is anyone coming through memphis or near?

thanks!

 

I am guessing you are the lone Mid-South MINIac going to this. Have you heard if anyone else is going? Tracy had mentioned going to LA at one time, but I haven't heard if she decided to go for sure.

Also the bands are up...and the very much hyped by the MINI rep at MOTD band, the Goo Goo Dolls, are not even playing!

 

Were brand new owners of an 08 MCS. we have already paid for Boston. We have no idea what to expect? but it has to be fun for our 1st road trip from TN! We can't wait to go-we don't know any other mini owners and hope we will see lots of minis, vendors, and motoring!

 

just got the email...

Blues Traveler for Chicago (Road America)

sweet!
