Dorkfest 2013 Roll Call

[Jeremy]

Attending Dorkfest? Please chime in! There are only 26 people registered as of today, and I'm sure some will attend without registering since it isn't required.

There isn't an official Dorkfest hotel, so where is everybody staying? It'd be cool to organize some caravans, so please share your city and state to aid in coordinating those.

Folks, I need to apologize up front. While I would love to, I will not be able to accommodate anyone during the O'fest/Dorkfest timeframe. I feel badly about that, but such is life. Wife is pregnant and we'll be fresh off other guests. I've tried to gauge her flexibility on this issue, and there is NONE.

OK... I'm sad that my coupe will not be fitted with the Fikses for the big event at Seca (Roadstars on for track use), and will miss out on nice shots with all of the other well-appointed visiting coupes. Is anyone that will still be in town the next day (Sunday 25 Aug) down for a photoshoot?

That would be me... unless the wife shows up (doubt it). I'm trying to see if she'll drive my Fikses to the track so that I can mount them for the pics and parade lap. I may offer her the seat as 'compensation,' but in all likelihood, her answer to wheel delivery/passenger will be no/no -or- yes/no. I'll inform later today.

I unfortunately have obligations in Hollister that day, so I most likely won't make it. BUT, I'll be driving the same direction from the bay area on Saturday morning, so will be sure to wave! (Jet Black '99 with a dent in the door, a dog in the back, and a lady driver)

I wouldn't discriminate against a ride in a car with 'mere' roadstars....

[LittleBlueBMW]

caravan?
