You guys can plan all you want in here. I've PM'd Brant, Joe, Eric and Ben with the password. Don't go giving it out to everyone. This forum is for you guys to communicate with each other, post test web sites, graphics, pics plans whatever all of which is outside the main forum and the rest of the user community.

Brant,

Here's what I've got so far:

Hotels - Yes it would be a good idea to call around. We'll need a parking lot dedicated to the cars for the "Rise and Shine" event. I'd like to go there but currently don't have the time slated to make the 4-hour trip. I can do some further checking with my buddy who does the Red Rock Run's with the Boxsters. I'll ask about restaurants as well. Mid price is fine... I just don't want to have to bring my own sheets and a nice pool would be welcome. Let me tackle that one.

People (cars) - 6 LA, 4 - SF, 2 - NW, 3 UT, 6 - CO, 3 - Other. I'd say 20-30 cars max.

T-Shirts - Let us know what you find out from John. You can be the official T-shirt guy. I'll beed your e-mail address again and I can send you the JPG, TIFF or GIF file (whatever your vendor of choice needs). The JPG is included in this post. I think we should have it as the offical logo but we may want to clean it up for a shirt. 914, Kokopelli and Arch with a tag line. -or- Maybe the full monte on the back and a clean pocket logo with the kokopelli, arch and teener. Entrance fee will be what it is.

Tours - Arches will be the only fee tour. $10.00 per vehicle to get in the park. It's a 7-day pass (like that matters).

Our friends in Michigan put on a really nice one day event last year. They're on it again this year. I think we should bump noggin's with them and get info on the registration fees, t-shirts, goodie bags, sponsors etc.

Speaking of sponsors. I'm not in favor of letting AA weasle in on this just to try and score more customers. If they come clean and start taking care of some of the issues then I'm willing to talk about it but my take on it is this:

That little nut sucker Treadway is only on this board as a Shill for George. Period. George's pathetic customer service has gotten him in a bind and people like PP have been cleaning his clock lately. As it should be. The most recent thread came to one of the better conclusions... where is George? I really don't feel comfortable hosting an event for them to come feed on fellow teeners like Seagulls at the dock. There's plenty of other vendors out there.

Other things to look into:

Trophies (what categories?)
T-Shirt - Sizes.
Promotional Giveaways - Product, Gift Certificates.
"Quality" Vendors.
Charity for extra revenue.
Registration Database.
What do we want to include? This will guide us toward the fee amount.

More to come.
