Greetings. I know some of you have been getting a little antsy about registering for AMVIV, and I find that very flattering. It's so cool that you all are so enthusiastic to come and see us again!

Anyway, I'm sending this out to let you all know that AMVIV4 registrations are now open. Go to http://www.amviv.com/reg.htm to register. After you fill in and submit the demographic and contact info on that page, you will go to the payment page. Please read all the notes and info on the page. I only put stuff on there that I felt was important, such as the fact that banquet tickets are NOT available except through pre-registration and pre-payment.

The schedule of events is also there http://www.amviv.com/schedule.htm though it isn't 100% set in stone yet. There may be a few changes due to circumstances beyond our control. Or some that are within our control, but that we think will improve the event.

See you in March,

There still seems to be a little confusion about what registration and payment entails.

Filling in the demographic and contact info at www.AMVIV.com/reg.htm , then clicking the "Submit" button gives us your info. When you click the submit button, you are taken to the payment page at www.AMVIV.com/payform.htm .

On the payment page, you add the items you want to pay for to your PayPal shopping cart. Then, either pay via PayPal or print out the demographic info page and your shopping cart and mail the printouts with a check to the club address on the registration and payment pages.

After you have paid, I will email you a notification that your payment has been received, with a list of the items you have paid for. If you have not received a confirmation email from me, you ARE NOT PAID UP. I have been emailing confirmations to people who paid by paper mail as the payments have been received, with the exception of one Oklahoma registrant who didn't include an email address. Again, if you haven't gotten email confirmation that your payment has been received, contact me as soon as possible.

Another item that seems to have caused some confusion is the affiliate registration. This item is entirely optional. If your passenger/co-pilot is also a MINI nut and wants the goodies that come in a registration bag (minus the route book), they should get an affiliate registration. If, like my wife, they are not really into the MINI/Mini thing, there is no need to register them.

Banquet tickets will not be available in Las Vegas, you MUST pre-purchase them. Something that it seems I haven't explained clearly enough is that to pre-purchase any AMVIV items (dinner or breakfast tickets, shirts, hats, etc) you MUST BUY A REGISTRATION. An affiliate registration cannot be purchased without either a full registration or a vendor registration. If you do a PayPal without either a full or vendor registration, it will be reversed. I have had a couple of people ask about adding dinner tickets or extra items after they have already completed a registration purchase. If you want to do this, please go straight to the www.AMVIV.com/payform.htm page, and make sure you add in the comment field that you have previously registered and paid, and this purchase is additional. This will avoid us canceling the transaction due to no registration being included.

Remember to make your reservations at Palace Station by calling 1-800-634-3101. Use reservation ID "PCIMIN7" or identify yourself as a Sin City MINI Club attendee.

See you in March.
