Anyone coming from Vegas should be passing through Bakersfield... Depending on what time you come through we can meet up here.. I'll be leaving here by noon at the latest on Friday... Ya'll can leave Vegas at 8AM and be here by noon for the rest of the trip... Hopefully, Rick and Allen from Hanford will meet us over on 46 like for the Coast Run.. Orville will be coming over sometime in his little choptop. Just need to see when he plans to come over... Hopefully there will be others from the Bakersfield/Central Valley area in this convoy as well... It's a beautiful drive over the mountains from here...
Unofficially, it should be $35 for show reg, and $20 for weekend food, which would include Friday night snacks, Saturday BBQ, Saturday pizza party, and snacks and drinks for the weekend. You can ask anyone who went to the Truckee show, that we'll feed you well.
I should have an official number later this week.

I'm leary about doing a show in Vegas in the summer. With the exception of the thunderstorms, we got REALLY lucky with the weather. It was pretty pleasant. I'm not sure I'd want to press my luck again.

Am I correct to assume that all funds required to attend i.e. registration fees, banquet fees etc are payable upon arrival to COURTESY INNS on Fri? ^^^

As for the food, if you all are near your email, check you email for my reply back to Sparzas email confirming everything... I think that is an idea well worth tending too!

2 more months...how am I gonna make it 2 more months?
I'm very stoked for this one. I don't know what time for sure I'll be taking off from here Friday cause I don't know if I'll have to work or not. If I do, I'll probably have to take 101 down. Otherwise, I'm taking Highway 1 all the way down - much more fun! Any one is invited to come with!

It helps us a bit if you pay in advance, both for having the money on hand to buy stuff and knowing how many people are coming. We're in good shape, financially, so it's not essential. The one thing that will *really* help is for you to make your hotel reservations.

If there is anyone in the LA, San Diego or surrounding areas, there will be a Fieros West Early Bird Caravan on Thursday morning leaving from the WCF shop.
This annual event allows us to dodge the Friday traffic, get up there early enough to clean the cars and be able to enjoy Friday in a relaxed fashion.
Tess (Stuk'N'80s) will be heading up the Friday caravan from an undetermined meeting spot.

I will be passing through bakersfield on the way and follow people up for sure.
This will be a GREAT PARTY....oh yeah and a Fiero show too

I would just like to send out a thanks to Dale Houston, John Sparza, Larry Hughes, Anthony (WCF), kim (NV), and many other folks who's names escape me who are working so dilligently for us to enjoy a weekend full of Fiero Fun and good times in beautiful San Simeon, CA. As participants lets make this a smooth show by:
1. Reserving our hotel rooms on time. 2. Sending in our registration info. and fees (once Dale sets up an official website in a day or so from now). 3. Spreading the word that there is going to be a Kick-ass Fiero show...
etc. etc.

I know I sent this out in the email that has been lingering back and forth between all of us, but I think my email stuff is hitting the bottle again, so I will cut and paste here.. This is just my suggestion... I would *love* to hear of suggestions from everyone, and please, let me know if you think yes, no, I'm out of my mind, it will never work, go back to the ford community - as I don't know anything about the Fiero stuff, etc... <grin>
Quote from my email.... ----------------------- Just before I read this, I was thinking to myself, why not bring a (the) BBQ(s), and just BBQ food, and save bookoo bux! But, are we going to be BBQ'ign for EVERYONE, or just us, or what? I figured why not grab a bunch of stuff from Costco, and maybe do a BBQ that way, instead of the Pizza stuff... Steak, Chicken, Corn on the Cobb, Hot Dogs, Hamburgers, Carne Asada, etc, and then mary can make beans, potatoes, whatever else sounds good, then we can just charge like $10 per plate, or whatever we decide, and do it that way... I know that sounds like a lot of work, but I would rather myself, pay $10-$15 for some Q, instead of $5-$10 for a pizza... Plus, the woman standing here says that she'll bring her boobies as well, so there you go!! We can sell a complete dinner / lunch for $10-$15 a plate, including boobies, beans, potatoes, and a choice of 1 main side (chicken, steak, hotdog, hamburger)... How does that sound? Or does that just sound like I'm blowing smoke out my patunia whole!? -------------------------
I figured this way, if this is acceptable with everyone, there's no "upfront" cost to "guarantee" anything, and I don't mind doing the work as everyone knows, so if there's not a problem, I wouldn't mind having the BBQ(s), and the marg machine in the back of the truck, or on the tailgate or something, and we can literally, have a Tailgate BBQ on a bytchin day, in california, on the coast, out of the back of a Ford! I mean hey - as everyone else here thinks.. what other good things can a Ford do!?

Charles that is a great idea ...can you handle it though that is a monumental task....what I was thinking is if maybe you can provide our group with lunch in the magnitude you have outlined and basically sticking to the pizza idea for the night festivities.

You have seen me at the BBQ's at WCF! Once I get started, I don't even eat myself until everyone else has eaten... That actually sounds like a good idea... We can do that if you guys like - as for lunch for our group, or even, like I said... For everyone else.. If we aren't going to make it a dinner thing, strictly lunch, we can do like $5-$10 a plate for chips, salsa, hotdog, and a choice of one other thing... Chicken, Burgers, or 2 boobs! How's that sound!?

The WestFest event is now up on the FierosWest website (thanx to Anthony for emailing and reminding me)... I appologize for not being more up to the minute on these updates, by my "official" job has been killing me lately!
You can find the link at http://fieroswest.westcoastfiero.com/events" - There you can view all the "up to the minute" information on the WestFest event as it changes or gets added!
*happy happy* y'all are comin' to my neck of the woods! yeeehaw! :-D also, if people have already done the whole Hearst Castly thing, talk to me and I can prolly think of something to do. hehe, Saturday night I'm thinking of putting on a bonfire at a beach near the hotel... so people don't have to drive. lol, I've got the wood, lighter fluid and matches. [yes, I cheat. I was a girl scout, so I can do the pyramid of fire, but lighter fluid is much more fun.] San Simeon and the like are about an hour north of me, so I won't be takin' a hotel. :-P later!

Me and Rickady were over in SLO today dropping some parts off for Evil88 so we swung up by the hotel... They said that things are looking good on registrations but we still need people to get registered as quickly as possible...
For anyone who fears there may be a problem with their reservation.. Or for anyone who is about to call to make reservations... Call and ask for the manager. His name is Manish. We have talked a couple of times about the problems we have had with registration and he says for people to ask for him if there is a question. He is the guy I have worked with from the start of this so he knows what the deal is..
Please don't wait till the last minute to make reservations. Why take a chance on not getting a room? When these rooms are sold out, there are no more! And you won't find a room for less than double our $59 special rate at any other hotel on the Central Coast. Not only will you guarantee that you will have a room if you book now, but you will help us plan by knowing how many people to expect... Make your plans and get reserved now..... Tonight! Quit reading the forum and call and book your room! Right now! haha

Do we have any people that are "bunking"? Don't know if it's like Vegas was or not, but (at least in our room), we had 6 people in rooms with 2 beds (Hmmmmm. Lenora was having fun in there that nite I'll tell you that (get your minds out of the gutter)... Plus, "Chester" didn't seem to be too unhappy with having to share the room with 4 other guys!) <ha ha>...
Just curious.. If so, then the woman and I will make our reservations expecting roomies.. Otherwise, not a big deal...

If people are coming as singles, they should start making plans now to share rooms. Most rooms have two queen beds. There are 'family' rooms with three beds if there are people who actually want to have a larger group. Of course, there are a few King rooms like the one Rie and I always get.
At $59 a night, split two ways by two people sharing a room... Man, you just can't beat that price!
I honestly hope we don't have too many 'unregistered' people bunking in on other peoples rooms. Rie and I stay at this hotel all the time and use it alot for our gatherings on the coast, as a matter of fact, we are using them for our wedding group in a few weeks and we will all be there again in November for the Coast Run. They have always been very good to our groups so I want to do them right in return. At $59 per night, split two ways by singles... You can't beat that anywhere...

The indoor pool and jacuzzi would be ideal after a whole day of driving and polishing your Fiero!
Maybe we should have the tech session in the pool, Fieros West has had whole meetings while floating around leisurely.....like the one coming up this weekend!
if i can get a roomate i might be more inclined to go...hint hint?
