SF Midnight Run with Ad Agency Day
Since many are planning to attend the BSSP Ad agency run starting at Crissy Field in SF on Sunday morning April 30th, anybody interested in making it a MINI night in SF? Some will be travelling a fair distance. Why not come early, have some fun, and you won't have to drive that far in the AM.


The idea of buzzing around SF at night sounds great. Coit Tower, Twin Peaks, Broadway, Embarcadero, China Town, Fisherman's Warf, Riding the Cable cars, an Irish coffee at Buena Vista, etc....etc...etc....

A drive out to Treasure Island with cameras for some shots of the SF skyline at sunset. A couple of HOT laps around Union Square.

Then the Ad agency breakfast and run starting at Crissy field. Hot Coffee and bagels.

This does not have to be a formal "event", just a bunch of rogue MINIs having "a night out on the town". Tuxes and Evening gowns are optional. We can find a meetup point and go from there.


If interested please either post on NAM or drop me an email. (norm@redwoodempiremini.com or just show up.

By the way, and for the record, the idea of a Midnight SF Run came from McLeonard and the NIKKI Bammers (so if it turns out bad, it's his fault). If is turns out great, I'll take the credit.

The "Pooper"

First let me say that we plan to still make “a night of it” in SF. We have, and several others have, made hotel reservations in SF to spend the night (not exactly cheap). Those that wish to do the same are all welcome to join in on a “non-official/non sanctioned” rogue run in the city by the bay. It will be fun no matter what. Obviously anyone that lives near SF does not need a hotel

Although I have put my name on this event by doing everything possible to help publicize and promote it, I have no control over it (obviously). This news came to me as a posting on , just as it is coming to you. I can’t answer anyone’s questions regarding this event. I suggest that you contact the organizers.

Here is the message that I just got off LarryP: Due to a rally on the bridge and at Chrissy Field plus a MS walk for charity there.

I think places to stay in Sausalito would have been expensive too. I'm really excited about the Rogue Night in the City, and the BSSP MINI Run! See you all there!

BSSP made the call its their run. I'm just lending a hand. It appears there will be lots of people at Chrissy Field that day. They contacted the other events organizers to check it out. It would have been nice to see 50 MINIs going across the Golden Gate.
