I booked a Best Western in Bowie. I have a 10 hour drive as it is, so to go an extra hour or 2 for AoA to be there, it's worth it. However I agree with T_white, I'd want a confirmation if were going to change locations!

AoA please come through!!! There could be as many as FOUR Canadian's there!

[ApexAudi]

I know right?! That's like 1/15th of 7/8's of 3/42nd's of our population ... ALL IN ONE PLACE ! With NO igloo's and NO polar bears in sight! I bet your excited to see us lumber jacks EHHHH!

Sounds good, anyone else from on here (vortex)? I know a few other Canadians from the mkiv forums and such.

[George@Fourtitude]

Just sent a follow-up. I'll let you know what I hear.

[krazyboi]

I would book a hotel in advance anyway, they are filling up WAY fast. I got mine at the Country Inn, they didn't require a deposit so I would check there

Ya'll talking about SoWo? I really hope I have the cash for it this year. Its actually the weekend before my 25th birthday so that may just be my present... to myself haha.

Booked at same hotel. They have a block of room held just for SOWO @ discounted rate.

I'm pretty sure my one buddy is on the A4 forums, but I've never asked. He might be on some others as he's owned an extensive number of VW's. We both work for Audi in Toronto.

[George@Fourtitude]

I got in contact with Mark at Audi. They also have a charity auction of an R8 GT Spyder in Florida that weekend. Since he also product plans R8, he may need to go to this but has not yet determined if this is so. Will let you know. I may also see if any of the other product planners are available as they're all really interesting to meet.

[ApexAudi]

[ApexAudi]

Well the Canuck will not be joining you regardless

I just brought my car into the shop while at work, and she needs rear brakes, t-belt, water pump and a t-stat .... there goes my road trip cash

We could always reschedule for March bahahah I want pictures of this event if it still happens!

And George what's the deal? Is there a referral block on information from Audi too?

Damn dude that's a shame. I'm sure this definitely won't be the last one

I know, I was just going to get my brakes done but upon inspection the bad news came.

Anyway it better not be the last one! You guys could always come up to Toronto for Vagkraft in August! It's an awesome show.

Although August is the month of Seal Festival. We hunt seals for seal meat with our lumber jack beards and sharpened beaver tails. Upon collecting 5 lbs of seal meat, we hold a big dinner (All 42 citizens) in the Grand Igloo, then we sacrifice three Geese to our sacred Loonie in hopes of 6 more months of dominant Loonie power over the US dollar!

Do I need a passport to get into Canadia?

[BalloFruit]

You definitely need one to return to the US.

Sorry to hear you wont be joining. I have always wanted to make a run up to canada for a show. Ive always wanted to party hard with a bunch of bearded men wearing flannel in a log cabin.

I'll be sure to pack extra flannel shirts

just saw this thread off of kb's lolbump replacement. I'm tempted to attend; put me down as tentative.

If it's moved to AoA i'm there 100%!

Lob Cabin? Jeezzzusss Christ eh! You be thinking it's warm in August like in Florida. Ain't no log cabins up here just igloo's and icebergs! That's how your car passes its safety up here, you have to out run a polar bear and then they test you on iceberg avoidance. Your Audi will also need spikes in the tires. DUH!

And Cldub, way to plan ahead! Moose meat makes for good insulation as well.

But in all seriousness, we party real hard up here! It's a good time! I'll post a thread in a couple months when more details are sorted out. I'd be happy to meet up somewhere in the states and cruise back, I still want my road trip!

Cheap beer and hotels! Lots of VW/Audi's ! You can't go wrong with Vagkraft

[George@Fourtitude]

Sorry for the holdup guys. Mark was looking like he had to go to Florida for the R8 GT Spyder auction but he's not going now. I'll be meeting with him later today and can finalize details but it looks like he can do it. Is there still interest in heading down to HQ in Herndon and if so what is your timeframe? I'll pass it on to him when I see it this afternoon (if it can be determined by him) and confirm.

dah, i'm out of town on saturday so I'm out for the good beer in Bowie. Any chance the AoA part of the GTG could happen on Sunday?

Can you also ask Mark if he has suggestions for food/beer in that area?

I think we said 6PM would work best for people (I believe t_white was the only one with a schedule conflict [wrenching]).

Also, were you guys going to any of the Cars and Coffee in the area?

Right now, we have:
In
1. krazyboi
2,3. cldub + 1
4. blksheep3
5,6. t_white +1 possibly
7,8. -VDubSack-
9. Ballofruit
10. SprintA3

And possibly

11. DWW
12. a3del

[George@Fourtitude]

Checking. I'm not sure if there's something at Reston Town Center or maybe something else. Are you talking 6PM to meet up or 6PM at HQ? I'm believe he could probably walk us through the Audi Forum before heading out to beer/dinner.

I think cars & coffee is 7-9AM in Great Falls based on link below. I'm going to see if there are issues with me being gone all day because that's also kid's time with the family. If I can then I'll shoot to do both with our new R8 and will post here if that's the plan. Regardless, you guys should hit it if it's convenient.

Let's hit up Dogfish Head at 13041 Lee Jackson Memorial Highway, Fairfax, VA 22033 -- about 5 miles south of the Forum.
