What is it?
Again we are staying tight lipped about many of the details. What I can tell you is that you and your MINI will follow us into the lesser driven areas of RI where many things go bump in the night. We will travel dark, desolate, dirt roads in search of legendary ghosts. This year we will be guided by an expert who knows these spots very well. Although I can't tell you where we are going, I promise you a great time. And for all of you from last year, You will enjoy some of the changes we have made.

Some things to NOTE:
We will be leaving the stagecoach at 6:30. So please be on time for registration.
We will be starting the event at Dunkin Donuts. The ending location is Chester's Restaurant. When we get back they are going to put a spread out for us of good night time eats.

A lot of the roads are narrow so please be aware of oncoming traffic, not that we expect much. Parking is tight so we ask that multi MINI families please come in one car. As of right now there are no bathroom breaks, except for nature. I apologize and no one is more concerned about this than me. We are not providing flashlights so please bring your own. Also Tom (our guide)suggests we bring along some thermal imagers and electro magnetic readers. They are available at Radio Shack. All of these stops have been documented by professionals as being haunted so we should get something this year.

Registration will take place through the mail this year. NO registration forms or money will be collected on the day.

Of course, costumes for you and your MINI are strongly encouraged!!!

Any questions, please PM me.

Ooooh! Sounds great! I REALLY wanted to do this last year but I couldn't...

 

OmToast - We made the 2 hour drive from south-western CT for last years rally, and we had a great time. Met some cool people, got to see a whole bunch of MINIs that were dressed up in costume, and had a blast driving around to spooky places all night. We were made to feel welcome even though we hadn't met anyone there before, and we are definitely going again this year. A very nice event put on by nice people! Rich and the gang at Ocean State MINI Club did a great job, and I am sure this years event will be just as much fun. Hope to see you there!

This year's event should be great. We have a guide from Rhode Island Paranormal and the stories are very freaky!

Glad you are coming again WMBA... hope you make it OmToast

 

Thanks Rich! See you there.

By the way.. are you still a Mike Patton fan? If so, let me know which bands of his you like (one is pretty obvious). I have tons of unreleased and rare music by him that you might be interested in (if you don't already have it).

Cheers!
Bill

 

OK... everyone, we need more bodies for this run. If you are thinking of coming but need that extra push to make it a positive send me a PM and I will push you.

I promise it will be a fun night of spooky driving.

 

I will be registering soon. I was away on business and just got back. How many have registered so far?

 

I think we have around 10 MINIs registered. I will be posting a list of people attending soon.

 

Dammit, I'm supposed to be going to New York that weekend. I haven't been to a MINI event in like 2 years, and this one sounds great! I'm going to see if my friend's schedule is flexible.

 

You should definitly try to come. It was a blast last year and this year the stories are way better.

 

Don't forget to register! Only 7 days left to get your registration forms in!

This weekend we completed our second prerun, it was a blast! We will be having another before the main event and will then have good estimate for the length of the event.

Anyone who can attend should. It is going to be a great event. Last year was good, but this will be way better.

I've seen where we're going, and the drive in itself will be good, plus, we get to have the RI paranormal guy there and get to stop at the haunted sites.

It is going to be great!

Only 2 weeks away!!

Anyone else going? Remember.. you need to register by this Monday.

Can't wait!

 

OK... so I come home and there is like 10 reg forms in my mailbox. I know more are on the way but with the holiday I won't see them until Tuesday... no problemo.

I am printing out a registration form RIGHT NOW. I will put it in the mail tomorrow, which means that it won't get to you by Monday. Can I still come? It will be me and one other person.


(please?)

PS -- I would also be perfectly happy to drive up and leave my registration in your mailbox / hands tomorrow...

 

It's OK just send it in.

 

Thanks

 

Almost time!

 

What's this? I'm not on the list?

 

Whoops, makes sense as I'm not attending, I'm "moderating"

 

There have been a few changes in the event. Unfortunatley we will not be able to start or end at the Stagecoach Tavern. They are in the process of changing management and will not be open for business.

So we will be starting at a Dunkin Donuts around the corner and ending at Chester's Restaurant who will be providing us with food and beverage. I have updated the first post with all of the new information but here it is:
