Magical Mystery Mini Tour Sept 5-7
Here is good news for those of you that have been dragging your feet!
Because of recent announcements from both Mini Mania and Moss Motors promoting the Magical Mystery Mini Tour, and extensions for the "final number of participants" given to us from our vendors; we have extended the cut-off date for registration of $100 per car until August 20th. Therefore you can continue registering using our dedicated web site until then.
After August 20th, advance registrations will no longer be accepted online but registration will be allowed at the door on the days of the event as space allows. The cost of "at the door" registration will be posted shortly. Only cash payments will be accepted on the day of the event.
Unfortunately the tee shirt order has to be placed today (August 1st) so there will be no more pre-ordering of the event tee shirts. I will have some additional tee shirts available on Treasure Island but they will be sold on a first come, first served basis. Supplies will intentionally be limited since I want them all sold before the event is over. The tee shirt option has been removed from the downloadable registration and PayPal forms.
I look forward to seeing you all having fun on this exciting weekend!

Obviously you have no idea what is proposed for this event.... there has not been a similar event done in the US by a single Mini-MINI club yet.... and no it is not just an hour viewing vendor's tents.

The cost to rent the Great Lawn is $12,000, the fire marshall permits to allow heaters and electricity is $4800, the tenting, generators, port-a-potties, washing stations, garbage is another $60,000, the 24 hour security is $12,000, the bbq dinner is $16,000+, the insurance is anoher $6,000, the signage, is another $4,000, the programs are another $4,800, the website, promo, advertising, has cost another $5000. The permits for the bonfires and breakfast on Ocean Beach are another $1000, the Golden Gate Bridge District fees are $2000, the bands, equipment, stage, lighting, and sound systems is another $20,000. These are only a few of the costs that our "non-profit" club has incurred to bring a "quality event" to Nothern California for the Mini Community. Adding in all the rest, it's more that $200,000.
You will get a delicious BBQ dinner, live concerts for Friday & Saturday nights, a three-day event in one of the most beautiful venues on the planet, 24 hour security, free parking, a sunrise beach bonfire and breakfast on Ocean Beach, loads of free give-a-ways from some of the BEST Mini Vendors in the world!!!
Thank you for your support of the Mini community.

Um, what kind of response are you looking for? Not knowing the extent of what's planned for this event, I was taken aback at the snide comments.
Now that I do know the extent, I'm still somewhat taken aback at them.
You said it yourselves, "Obviously, you have no idea what's proposed for this event."
Calling someone a cheap bastard isn't the best way to educate them, ya know?

Obviously you have not looked at the events we have planned, nor all the work and time we have invested to put this event on.

And YOU have the "*****" to make a statement like this. Please stay home or plan & pay for your own event! Are there any more "cheap bastards" like you out there that feed on crap like flies on poop? This is a bargin for any sane person.

Fitter,
That option was already posted on the 3rd post in this thread. Maybe Pooper replied a little harshly and if he had it to do again may revise his wording, but I believe the intent of his message was to reveal the true cost of putting on an event of this magnitude.

I must make a public appology to Fitter. I took your comments much harder than how it must have been intended. I had read a few other posts on different threads and websites & read more into yours than I should have. I went back and re-read your post and see that it was not out of line. Please accept my appology.
I have no excuse, except that we have worked so hard to put this event together, that I must be a bit over sensitive.

MMMT is almost here! We have had a lot of request from members and others that are interested in only attending for one day. We have come up with a single day policy for new registrants. Obviously, if you want to attend Saturday only, that is the day that has the bulk of our costs. So Saturday only pre-registration is now available until August 20th. Payment options will be included on the PayPal site by 10pm tonight.
Saturday Only Registration will include access for one car and one banquet ticket. All events on Saturday are included as well as access to the concert. Cost $80.00. Each additional dinner ticket is $30.00. - This is available as a pre-event registration only and payment must be received by August 20th.
Day of Event Registration (price is per person, not per car) includes all events except the winery tour, baseball game, banquet and breakfast:

If anyone wants to make a short visit to the British Car Show in Brisbane to look at British relics on Sunday, its only about 15 minutes away from Treasure Island and might be a quiet departure from all the activities (runs, live music, MINI specific vendors, etc.) on Treasure Ialsnd.
We will have a car wash service available on Treasure Island over the weekend and car care detailing classes available every two hours on Saturday.

MINI of San Francisco has been gracious and just sent an email to about 50,000 people on their mailing list announcing the Magical Mystery Mini Tour. In fairness to those hearing about this event for the first time, we are extending registration from August 20 to August 31.
As mentioned in my earlier posts, we have come up with a single day policy for new registrants. Obviously, if you want to attend Saturday only, that is the day that has the bulk of our costs. So Saturday only pre-registration is now available until August 31st.

I'm looking forward to meeting a lot of you folks who have formerly been just handles on the interwebs. Come see Shiva and me in the main tent. Ask questions. Get autographs. Shower us with praise and money. We love it!
See you there!
