M-100 Events

I paid for admission to the dam (damn?) tour, but it was well worth it. I'm not going to put up a stink over a small amount like that. I want to take all my boys there and have considered it a trial run. The event was great and I enjoyed seeing everyone there. [:D]

I need a response from those who attended the Lode Fest 2014: several of you have paid what should have been group expenses. I have that information from Luis and Albert. Now I need to know if anyone else has expenses to turn in for reimbursement so we can close the books on this event and report to the board. I picked up several tabs which were not payable by check. Who else? Thanks

I left Vegas today and must head to Boston on business. I will get to the board meeting minutes and event brief between now and my return but overall (speaking as the host) I thought the meet went very well. We had some new faces and interest in bringing fresh ideas to the table which is something we always welcome and need that benefits the club membership.

There were many nice pictures taken of the unique sites and scenery that, as the others return and have time you will see shortly I am sure.

Glad to hear your event down under was a hit!

Hi Everyone
how is everyone going getting to lodefest, has anyone got any photos of your car in transit or at vegas already.

Upon further investigation, the Tropicana is a Double Tree hotel. Shows you how long it's been since I stayed in Vegas. So I'm staying at the Tropicana after all. Will be bringing the ML320 Blutech instead of the R63, which is overdue for service. At least now I'll be able to make it up there and halfway back on one tank of fuel!!

I'll be in the bar Thursday evening before dinnertime per the flyer info published to greet our arriving members so if you are already there - Jack & Albert - hope to see you for a little while anyway.

I expect to arrive late Wednesday, probably in the evening, driving from Carmel straight through. Staying at the Tropicana, also.

We will be arriving in Vegas and staying at the Tropicana Tuesday afternoon. If anyone else is already in town by then, please let me know. Also planning to do some shows, we have reservations for Thursday's late evening show 'O', at the Cirque du Soleil theatre at the Bellagio right now.
We are staying through Monday afternoon, so there is lots of time to do other shows or events.

See you guys next week,
Albert

We confirmed there are rooms available however, no longer at the group rate as the deadline has well passed.

Francis E. Abate

Tom;

Follow the link provided in the flyer and see if they can still give you the special rate...if not I would call and ask or we can do that for you if you like but I would hope they would allow a few after the deadline.

I am sure there are rooms regardless.

Francis E. Abate

are there any rooms left at the Tropicana?

Jim,

I'm off of the 215 near the 210. Best meeting point would be off the 215 in Devore. Less traffic and good "trailer friendly" freeway access. Drop me an email at the office and we can exchange info.

I'll be attending with or without trailering my 6.3. Still working on that.

Tom - If I trailer my 6.3 w/ my F-250 SD, I'll go via San Bernardino on the 15. Your idea of caravanning is interesting, I can just see you in a 63 AMG doing 55 mph behind me,[:D] I'm sure you have heard of the Las Vegas pull,[:p] otherwise I'll be taking the across the desert route thru Amboy on Rt 66[8D].
I'll let you know.

Thanks,
Jim @ kimobenz

Hey Jim,

We are expecting 20 + people at this time, hopefully more will surprise us!
