How is prep coming for everyone?
We are a month away and I am woefully behind...

How is prep coming for everyone?

Well, I'm holding off on the 12 pack of Pabst because I want it to be fresh.

I am planning on making this my first e28 related meet. In fact, this will be my first auto related meet, period. I only know one person in this crowd (Chris K) so I am a bit leery.

My question: I asked my wife, Bobbie, if she wanted to come (after all, we live in Tucson, so any chance to go to SD is more that welcome).

She replied: "Why would I want to hang out with you geeks for two days".

We're talking San Diego here. Sandyeggo may be the world's best place to visit. But, still, a very fair question.

So, Do you guys bring your wives? Is there something going on for non e28buttheads? Will there be other ladies there that will go shopping/sightseeing and thus happily discuss what dickheads I/we/us really are?

I'm going regardless. Whether I share a room with my wife at the 4 Points San Diego or with a e28butthead friend will probably be determined by the end of this thread.

My wife came in 2015. She enjoyed meeting everyone and enjoyed the actual "car show" on Saturday (ha!), but very quickly grew tired of the sausage-and-gearhead-fest. She choose not to go last year. I suspect she will come again this year, but will only make a brief appearance to the rest of you all.

I'm following up on the wife/significant other count...Pam mentioned to me the other day she may consider coming to SD for a day if there are some others who may want to go for a spa session and perhaps other sightseeing. But...she is NOT a shopper

Catherine wants to come down (so we'll be coming in the touring). We've decided to wander down 110 from Reedsport and check out the Oregon coast and redwoods. We'll arrive in SD on Thursday and head back on I5 starting Sunday morning. Catherine is not a shopper either.

For you guys bringing S/Os, the NY Times had an article today that has some San Diego fun "to do" stuff that I agree with.

[quote="Kenny Blankenship"There's a reason one of the wives who showed up last year calls this "Sausagefest"...[/quote]

Yes because I showed her my sausage. We still text every once in awhile.

Hey Kenny, are you even allow to attend this fine spectacle of an event? You don't even own a 5 series anymore much less a BMW.

That's racist! I do in fact own a 5 series. Just for that I may not even bring a BMW this year...

I'm a Platinum member...I was going to this event before you were even born...

How is prep coming for everyone?

I'm drunk. Does that help?

If I can find it ... I'm bringing this:



And apparently I'm giving Yar a ride home.

[Adam W in MN]

Alright gang, looks like I have a confirmed flight into San Diego Friday morning, coming home on Sunday. Can I request Burger as my Uber driver piloting his E9?

In all seriousness I'll be the guy loitering in the hotel parking lot next to E28's to beg a ride over to the party. I guess I need to book a hotel room next.

Are you at the 4 points? Still checking when I'll be arriving, but will be there Friday.

This is great, adding new members to the 'St Paddys Day experience' gang.

I'm sure at some point we'll receive directions the 3 events.

[ElGuappo]

I haven't seen you since 5erFest '08 in Reno!

I haven't seen you since 5erFest '08 in Reno!

That's true. I've seen many others in the Reno group at 5erWest over the years.

[ElGuappo]

I haven't made it up there once, very disappointed in myself.
But hope springs eternal, perhaps this year!

[wkohler]

I'm not holding my breath any longer.

Please note that i dislike you people and do not look forward to seeing you in San Diego.

Here's the shirt thread!
