Midwest Mazdafest 2010

meh, the weather was like this last year too. I won't check into the weather until Thursday. right now its only a 40% chance of scattered showers on Saturday. last year leading up to the event (even the night before) it said it was supposed to rain and it got dark once, other than that it was really hot and sunny, no rain. Sunday for the right home was a different story though lol..
 
its more the monetary issues than the weather, i have an ez-up 10x10 tent that i can set up to hang out under and stay dry if i need to... haha
 
crash a room with someone..

i am, its more i just dropped a s*** ton of money cause my work's payroll lady screwed me over and didnt take any of my local taxes out throughout the year so doing my taxes i found out i owed ALOT of money to the lovely city of pittsburgh, so needless to say i got to all but wipe out my savings/trip money... dunno if i can afford the trip yet... it blows
 
Fuuuuuccckkkk. So... long story short, a bill that I paid never went thru last time when I paid it. It's my corporate card. I went to book travel for next week for a meeting and s*** got all fuggered up. Turns out the last payment didn't go thru. Thankfully, when checking my account, all the money is still there, so I can pay it, but it also eliminated all of my spending money too thanks to late fee and crap.

Yeah really, I remember this. Rained pretty hard the whole way back, but the event on Saturday was fine. If it's definitely going to be a washout then I will question my attending, but I've technically already paid so...
crash a room with someone..
Haha this! Crashed with Phen and crew Saturday night.
Damn this sucks, I'm not gonna be able to make it to MWMF... (sad2)
What happened now?

still coming?

man, if everyone is going to drop out, I'll question paying for a room on Saturday night and just drive back lol..
 
I can't make it due to lack of funding.

what?! well if my two favorite people aren't going then i'm definitely not going! (sucking up a little (bowdown) ) lol


yeah, i don't have any place to stay overnight or anything anyways, and i really don't want to drive 4 hrs saturday morning and at night too...
 
What happened now?

Just saw this. My funds are tight, and I'm not gonna be able to get the wheels done in time for Friday for one thing.... So without the new rubber, I'm sort of no-go right now. My front tires are literally bald, I can't drive out there with them like this, especially in the rain. They hydroplane instantly, haha. Its not good...

But, the main reason is my grandma is not doing well at all; my parents were in SC with her last week and talking to them I don't know if I can wait til next summer... So I'm gonna take a trip down to GA to visit her this summer, and I need to make sure I have the cash to do that. Sucks for MWMF, but gotta make choices, you know?

I get 15 mpg :)

I'll be there no matter what - already paid, LOL.
 
I said on another forum I was gonna get my aunts MPV, toss my wheels on it and come get Levi and Phen..

I'll pitch in $20 for Phen and Levi to get a room lol.. Trev is still looking for a place to crash too..
 
is there somewhere i can find an plan for the days events?
 
on the indyrx8club.com forum, go into the mazdafest subforum and look at the newer posts, one of them has it all laid out
 
Here are the times:
- 8:00 AM Gates Open
- 10:00 AM Cornhole Tournament Sponsored by Ziebart!
- 11:00 AM Live Music featuring Truett & the Traitors!
- 1:00 Scavenger Hunt Awards - (You must be at the Cruise-In at the Suds on April 30th to participate)
- Mazdafest Prize Auction to benefit Johnson County Animal Shelter
- Awards at 3:00 PM

There is no "official" after party this year but a bunch of people are going to some bar which is within walking distance to the Fairfield from what I understand.
 
Alright Ohioans, what's the plan?

I'll be heading out tomorrow morning between 6:30 and 7 AM. Looks like the rain in Indy is supposed to be done around 8 AM, which is the same time it's supposed to be starting in Cinci so that means I'm going to be driving through it the whole way there. If it's not raining there is anyone planning a car wash outside of town again? Marlon?
