I have a few things I would like to announce.
Tulsa Rib Company has agreed to drive out to Indio to feed us all. I promise you won't be disappointed.
BBQ Chicken 1/4's
BBQ Baby Back Ribs
BBQ Western Style Beans
Rice
Cole Slaw
Corn Bread
Cookies and other sweets.
We will provide the drinks (sorry non-alcoholic only)
I had to commit to at least 80 people. So if the turnout is as good as expected we should be just fine. If the turn-out is not as good as expected no worries I'll bring some disposable containers that you can take back to your hotel rooms to snack on.

Jaime from Meguiars will bring the big beast of a detail truck and offer a car care demonstration to anyone interested. I don't normally like to sell any products at these types of events, but I agreed to allow Meguiars to sell his great products directly to you if you are interested. At WestFest III, Jaime and his team turned out to be one of the highlights of the event. I'm looking forward to seeing him again.

I asked Dinan if they would like to participate, unfortunately they no longer have an X5 to show.....but I do. I will bring my Carbon Black 06-4.4 that I have put some Dinan goodies on, CAI/TB/Strut Brace/Exhaust. I have some Dinan caps and T-Shirts that I will be giving away while I'm there.

Crevier never does anything small and so I don't want to spill it all, but we have some great raffle prizes to give away. I'll leave it all to surprise when the time comes. We will have some goodie bags for all those who RSVP'd. Please don't get left out of the raffle and the rest of the great stuff just because you didn't RSVP. If you plan on coming and haven't RSVP'd yet.......

DO IT NOW

I want everyone to know that Kevin has worked very hard to make this a great event for everyone. Doing something like this can be very time consuming and stressful but he is committed to making WestFest something to be modeled after. As for the WestFest organizers of the past.... We wouldn't be here without you

One last thing, some of you may remember my son Joey. Well he isn’t little anymore and some of you may not even recognize him. He' grown to be taller than me.... wait a minute, everyone is taller than me Anyway he turns 15 on the Thursday before WFIV. We would like to bring a birthday cake and if you all don't mind sing him a Happy Birthday. That would probably make his day, it would embarrass him but he would still appreciate it.

If anything changes between now and then I will let you know

Joe

Joe,

What can I say? You've been a great supporter of ours and you've come through for us again. I appreciate the acknowledgement of my hard work but it wouldn't be the same without your support. You're the best!

Joey will be having a big serenade as I'm expecting in excess of 80 people.

I'll talk to you on Friday or early next week.

Bring the cake - Just watch out for Josh, he likes to beat everyone to the punch line. He'll be singing on Wednesday

Thanks in advance Joe, you are going to make my year with those ribs . You have been there ever since WestFest1, and you will always get the first right of refusal for any and all future WF events as well I'm sure! I am really looking forward to this event, as I am positive that this will be the biggest X5 meet held anywhere in the U.S. thus far!!!!!!!!!!!

okay, i'm seriously thinking about going to this. things have changed at work to free me up on friday to head down with the caravan leaving from the bay area. my husband thinks i'm crazy (but he drives a pathfinder, so it's understandable), but i could turn this into a quick trip to visit family in LA as well...

That would be awesome! If you are going to come and spend the weekend or part of the weekend I'd get on the stick and make some hotel reservations now. Also, let me know ASAP if you are coming since I'm kind of organizing things.

Contact Autoxer and/or Quicksilver re: NorCal caravan.

R6girl, It would be great to have you join us. Wuzin might be coming down too. We are planning to meet in Dublin at 8:30am and get started around 9am. It should be fun!
