The only problem I see is that it is over a year away!

I believe Larry worked on the 10th Anniversary meet for over two years. Coordinating all the elements, especially in a popular area like this that probably books up a year in advance will take time.

Then again, the history of the NW meets tells us that a "big meet" planned and hyped for two months will yield 2-3 SVXes, while a spur of the moment mini-meet will yield 6-7 SVXes, sometimes twice that.

I'm already thinking about it.

As they say a journey of a million miles begins with the first step... I've contacted the museum and will be receiving information about their availability and rates here at my work place shortly. I've asked them for dates in the spring and summer. I'll be back with some firm dates shortly... (of course if there are any other ideas.... I'd be open) This place has just finished with another "subaru group" and I will try to get some more details of this last event from their sales person.

So you are looking into a private tour of the museum for our group basically? Where's it at in relation to other attractions, where we'd be staying, cities, etc?

Thanks for getting this thing going Mitch!

Uncamitzi · #21 05-01-2003, 03:42 PM

ok... he's making a list and checking it once in a while...

We need to set a firm (or semi firm) date and I need to start getting a commitment from people that will be attending or planning to attend.

The Banquet area of the museum holds anywhere from 25-1500 people....

mmmmmm, he said 1500 people..........

Now here's the goal...

#1 let's figure out what the dates are going to be

and #2 how many people want to spend a rip roaring weekend in the Greatest Little City in America!!!

Here's my best dates... your's may vary.. but let's work together on this...

June 18-20th 2004 Third weekend in June 2004.... Schools out and it's not really hot yet..(maybe) and my hotel has very little planned..in the way of events....

and the List starts here

Uncamitzi and friend (I could get one!)

WestCoastSVX · #22 05-01-2003, 03:55 PM

I want to be second on the list!

I'm checking with Corrina right now for that date, but we aren't doing anything I know of 3rd week of June this year so shouldn't be next year.

The big catch for me (aside from losing the SVX somehow

) would be that we are in process of trying for our first offspring and depending on when the little one arrives, we may not be able to go. So my entry varies from just me, to me plus one, or even plus two... or not at all. I really hope I can go though, this looks to be my first chance at a Reading-like event.

Even I can plan for over a year ahead, so I'm up for the 2,000 mile trip

Father's day is indeed on the 20th....

Now.. I'm not one (a father that is) and ,I've lost my father (I didn't really lose him ...he's in an oak box on the shelf near my fireplace...:rolleyes) and I think that bringing your father to a SVX meet would be great.. but if we need to move the date now is the time...

I'm in. I just got back today from a couple of days in Reno. I make it my job to make sure the casinos stay in business.

Let me know if I can be of any help organizing.

BTW, Reno is not the Greatest Little City in America, it's the Biggest Little City in America. It not sure if that's the official slogan or if it was voted "Best Biggest Little City in America". For those who have never been to Reno, every place proclaims to be "Voted Best <fill in the blank>". For example, Big Joe's Greasy Spoon Voted Best Burger (and in very small print) in 1970 by people related to the owner.

Cheers,
Matt

Count me In! I'll be there. June - July sounds good to me.

I am up for a summer meet, somewhere in the western states (where it is cooler than Lafayette, In.

)

Tahoe would be great. I love to "roll some bones".

Chris (our computer admin dude), talked about a meet in Idaho at the track where he races. Is this still in the works??

Thanks Matt,

Good to hear from you again! I knew it was something like best, biggest, bestist... or the like... do they still have the sign over the street? I'm going to make a trip to the museum to check on the facility and start to work up a menu for the dinner. We don't need to sign a contract until the first of the year, but I would like to firm up the date and get a guess of attendees.

If we do it a week earlier are we going to stumble into Graduation for people? and if we do it a week later we might run into pre fourth of July problems.... (and Chis's meet up in Boise..)

Yes, the track meet in Idaho is the big western meet for 2003 and I believe he now has a thread going for that one.

Up here in WA most HS graduations happen the first couple of weeks of June. Not sure in other areas though. Guess it would be a factor whether anyone planning to attend would be affected by that. (similar to if anyone would be affected by Father's Day)

As for July 4th, it would still be a week after, but in my case that gets tricky. I know we will be going to a family reunion in Pismo that weekend. So do I hope for a SVX meet the weekend before and then stretch out the whole week in the Bay area before going down to Pismo? Or do I push for it earlier and then fly down a couple weekends later for the reunion?

I'm just one person of many that hopefully will be attending, but just the kinds of things everyone has to think about, and QUICKLY!
