Event date is APRIL 24th 2010! At least, that is what I have heard, as the PCA-Central Penn region website is down right now. 
Could anyone confirm?
Last year we had a KILLER team orging the MIE, and the event was a smashing success by all accounts. I'd like to see some folks step forward to help plan again this year. I will help plan, but can't take the lead role as I am now in my final year of grad school, and just can't plan on my play-time schedule.
Here is our list of planning needs.
We need:
- Someone to take the lead role Rich Towle has said he'll do it again!
- Someone to promote to other 914 websites (club, NARP, etc.)
- Someone to find us a party spot at the event, and a party spot after. Rich Towle
- Someone to get us goodies to give to you. Ray Mital has stepped up for this again! Excellent!
- Someone to handle the money.
- Someone to ensure tenting on site.
- Lots of people to attend!

I can try an help out more this time around. i will be coming on saturday, but not sunday. the event was killer, but the biggest thing needing work that i saw, was the parking situation. the caravan was awesome, but when we got there, no parking. and the few 914s that got there early in the "914 only" parking were flooded by other p cars.
i would love to help with whatever i can zach. the wife will NOT be comming this time around.

me."

This is a bump. I talked to Ray Mital a few moments ago about planning. We need to start now if it is going to happen.
We need:
Someone to take the lead role
Someone to promote to other 914 websites (club, NARP, etc.)
Someone to find us a party spot at the event, and a party spot after.
Someone to get us goodies to give to you.

This event last year was epic, but it takes a lot of work to make it epic. Can anyone step forward?

I'll start to look into sponsored "goodies"
....and shirts. Preordering shirts was good. Most teeners seem to be wearing the MIE shirts that Saturday. I don't know how many wanted to purchase the day of the event??
Posted by: Vacca Rabite Jan 8 2010, 12:24 PM
Does anyone want to take a stab at designing a 2010 MIE t-shirt? I did it last year, but this year should be a new design.

Thanks for bringing this up Zach. I know how busy you are going to be this year.
Who were the other locals at the event other than Evil? That's who needs to take the lead this time. Doc is working on getting gainful employment.
It shouldn't be a lot of work for the local guys this year. Just follow last years formula for lodging, parking at the event and food. Why re-invent the wheel?

Bitch'n! Can we use you bus to haul stuff from my house to the event? I am GOING to drive my 914 this year, not tow it, by god! But I'll have stuff to bring that might not fit in it.

If you move the event to San Francisco, I could help.

I received an email from my son's friend that got us the domain name for last years event. He told me the name as about to expire. I paid him today to renew the domain. If you guys want it it's yours.

Yes, we would love it. I don't even remember what the account info is though...

I think the info is in last years planning forum. Actually I don't remember either. Rich Towle my remember.
The site is still active as well as the email address. It just needs to be updated and your in business.

I'll be there in one fashion or another. Current work project has me fully occupied so I''d be astonished if I had any paintings available, but you never know. Since it looks like I'm going "RSR-esque" with the 911 I may be looking to deal on my "skinny" (8") Fuchs... No P-car this year but the 'Porsche Support Vehicle' Titan holds more stuff anyway. I'll have the ArtechnikA EZ-Up available...

I was going to offer to host the page for free, but I see you already have it handled.
Betty and I won't be there this year. I have gainful employment now, and no PTO. I am going to miss being there.
Posted by: r_towle Jan 10 2010, 09:41 AM
Ray and I have been talking...we are on this.
At least the initial portions of hotel, the dinner are underway.
I still need to contact the local region to sort out a few things that we will change from last year...
Give me a few days and I will have some news by end of the week.

Doc, I haven't been keeping up with things here. Your statement sounds like you're leaving Hersey for good? Do you have new gig lined up?
Posted by: Vacca Rabite Jan 10 2010, 10:45 AM
Excellent, Rich and Ray!
Let em know what you want on the first post, and I will keep it updated. I have an idea for a shirt design, but don't know that I will have time to get into illustrator to make it. Classes start tomorrow.

Hi Dave! Sandy and I were just talking about you today! Keep moving man!

Rich and Ray opened a thread on it, and since they are running the show I stopped bumping this one. I tried to search for the new thread, but I can't find it.

Hey Jerry,
I am either going to Washington, PA or Latrobe, PA for residency (3 yrs) starting in July.
All, no one has contacted me to check on anything. I am still willing to put boots on the ground

Oh ya, most important to me is spaces. We need to get on those so we can get them together. I WILL have my bus there for shelter, entertainment and supplies. I also hope to have some parts and my tranz rebuild DVD done by then so I can sell a few copies

Somewhere I posted that I would be willing to provide spaces for the MEI adjacent to my vendor spaces this year. No one has gotten back to me on this so far. Reservation deadline is 3/10 IIRC.
Posted by: Vacca Rabite Feb 14 2010, 10:32 AM
Chris, I'll get a PM out to you, Rich and Ray as soon as Theo goes down for his nap in a few minutes. We will get this coordinated. They may already have spaces lined up, but I agree that it would be nice to have all the 914 spaces in one area.
To that end, it might even be worth getting in touch with Aircooled Racing as he usually has 1/2 a row for his trailers and the 3 914s.
Mya be too late, though. I am sure the front spaces fill quick. I should have thought of it sooner.

Spaces for next year's event will be on sale at this year's event.
You know the big players make their commitments a year in advance...
I need to buy my spaces too...

Hey Zach, this is a logo that I had in mind. Still a work in progress, but I had this font in my head (from the old alien invasion movies) and I couldn't find it online, but a friend helped me find it.
Any improvement ideas?
