North American meet in MICHIGAN

[mazdamp3_18]

Well i have started planning on the meet with my friend and were going to have it in the middle of june... ill give exact dates as soon as i have them. I was wondering if anyone would be against having subaru iclub.com joining us in the meet..... We could have up to 300 people total if we get the word around... Im gonna have a sheet that everyone will post if they will come so i could have an idea of how many will come... Ill keep all of you posted..

Like I said before, if you want any help that i can provide from toronto email me kurtburmester@hotmail.com

 

[mazdamp3_18]

Actually there is something you could help me out with... DO you have any damn idea where i can rent some Cones for the auto x??? im totally clueless about this....

 

[KurtMP3]

You mean orange cones? Like they use in construction?

 

[mazdamp3_18]

yeah the big orange ones.
also i gotta find timing equipment but i might have that covered

 

[Massyellowmp3]

You can find orange cones and barrels at any rental place. those places that you pass with moonwalkers and cranes and stuff out in there parking lot. look in you yellow pages for constuction rental.
hope that helps

I was thinking that if anybody out here has any sort of graphic or illustrative abilities to create flyers for the meet. Then they can be uploaded and designated people or anybody can print them and pass them around to the club members as well as leave them on the cars in the shopping malls, performance stores and shops as well as post them on the dealership door. Hows that?

 

[mazdamp3_18]

thats a good idea... i know my way around a computer but i have no design abilities.. if anyone wants to volunteer and do this go for it and i could print some off and get the word around fast since i go to a high school that has 2500 people in it. i could post it at my work.(discout tire) and i could post a lot at the campus at UofM.

 

[mazdamp3_18]

i work at the discout tire in Ann Arbor at Washtenaw. R U in michigan..ive seen a blue mp3 in ann arbor i was wondering it that was you??? just let me know what kind of wheels and tires and ill get you a price i work on friday.

 

[mazdamp3_18]

where in michigan are you? r u gonna go to the meet in june?

Here's a decent idea, well I think it might be. Hey mazdamp3_18, since you live in Michigan, I'm sure you know about the Woodward Dream Cruise. I think that would be an excellent time to have a North American Meet. For those of you who may not know what the Dream Cruise is, it's one of, if not the biggest Cruising Event in the Country. If I remember correctly, it's usually scheduled during the last weekend of August, so it would give us plenty of time to plan. Last year was dope. The club I was in Redline Motorsport, had rented a parking lot out. It was fun as hell. I'm not sure of how many of you would be interested in doing it, but I just thought I'd throw it out there. I have pics from last years if anyone wants to see them. They had set a record last year for largest attendance a little over 1.3 Million people..... Yup, it will be packed. Although the majority of the crowd there will be domestics and American Muscle, it's still gonna be fun.

"I was thinking that if anybody out here has any sort of graphic or illustrative abilities to create flyers for the meet."

I have those abilities BUT I'm also very very busy and I can't guarantee anything. I may be able to...if anyone else has the ability but needs "art direction" I would be glad to assist.

If you spend 5 minutes a day on it, that would be great. It doesn't have to be museum quality. I think it needs to have protege/mp3/protege5 pictures on it, the fact that its a protege meet and that this is going be a huge and ALL proteges from anywhere in North America are welcome.

BTW, is this just a protege meet or what?
mazdamp3_18: were you able to talk to any hotels in town. we would need at least one big sponsor to help us. Where do you think the meet will be held? parking lot, park, stadium, mall, university, dealership?it be also nice to alert the local food vendors. we don't have to pay them. they will be paid from the food sales, they would just need to show up. i wish i was closer to you. i feel like from down here i can only suggest stuff.
i think the flyers are the biggest point at this time. any dealers that want to get into the act? maybe they can run a couple of lines advertising the meet, when they run their usual ad.

 

[mazdamp3_18]

the auto x will be held at the community college parking lot here. the drags will be at a drag strip 20 minutes from here. our show if we want to have one could be held at my high school b.c its right next to UofM's football stadium. our banquet or whatever you want to call it can be held at basically any kind of restraunt you want (ann arbor has everything, OR we could just have a big ass bbq at my house..)
about the hotel, im supposed to get a price on rates tomorrow from holiday inn.

 

[KurtMP3]

I cant wait, im already drooling over all the UofM mercandise im gonna buy in town when i come...i spent over $100 last time i was there on shirts and jerseys, shoulda spent so much more.
Which hotels you looking at? The motel6 by the highway, just up the main street that runs by the stadium (cant remember the area, has a mcdonalds & chi-chi's right near it) was cheap last time i was there, and clean, and you can park right in front of your room
Any help you need just ask

 

[mazdamp3_18]

actually there is something you or someone could do is contact someone who is in the toronto protege club.. i tried getting on their web site and for some reason i cant get onto their web site. i want to email the leader of the club or with someone who is in the club.i want to get all of them to go to the meet. and they could probably get ahold of more people.
