The Miatapalooza 2014 Thread

[Andy]

Nothing planned as of yet. A Mazda meet this year most likely won't happen unless someone small come up with an idea and can put something together with very little time. It won't be a Miatapalooza event, just a small gathering of locals Floridians basically.

I made a thread to do just that. We are trying to do an all Florida meet June 21st.

Can this even happen on a Sunday so us nice Jewish miata owning dudes can join?

I found a site for Miatapalooza BUT Randy and I agree this meet should be held every other year. It requires a shitload of time and planning. For those of you who have never been involved in working with us to set up Miatapalooza....You have no friggin idea just how much time it takes and how little help we actually get. Randy and I have spent well over 100 fours planning each of the last two.

It seems like everybody wants to attend Miatapalooza but no one wants to put in the time and effort to help. So if it's just Randy,me and the 4 or 5 other dedicated volunteers ( the same few every time )

If you don't like my rant.....too bad,step up and put your balls on the table and help out.

[Andy]

Tell me how to help you. In the mean time it looks like the only way is to have a non official one which I am not fond of.

Thumper pm me if you want. I really want to help for next year.

[mini_fd]

I can help out too Fred

[HELLIONMX5]

If you want the help. ask.

I think the way to go about it is to spread the work load.

how many people would you need to help out?

what do you need people to do?

is there a time frame you want things done?

what's all involved that you can tell others to do?

etc etc etc.

You get the idea.

I am here to help also, I have never done car events but I have event planning experience in general (mostly stage-oriented, with an audio background).
But I am willing to do whatever needs done!

[Jscarrozzo]

Any news on this? I can assist where needed.

[Mycoftsmith]

Hey i missed that event but i am waiting for the next one , anyone here knows that when will be the next one will held?

[— Phatmiata —]

We would have to see which local Miata Clubs have members that are willing to help. Last event we had 14 guys from TampaBay Miatas, 2 from Orlando Roadsters, and several from Treasure coast help. Something like 20 people that stepped up to help guide traffic, set up the signs, post on the forums, design flyers, check folks in, help make goodie bags, fold tee-shirts, setup cones, park cars, give out tickets, help the vendors, etc etc. I will see if the Tampa Club is willing to help again since 80% of the staff came from that club.


If I can get enough locals to help we can try to do this again, I can start a 2015 thread if that happens

If this happens while my wife and daughter are in Europe, I can maybe make it.

[SM16RMSM]

As much as I want to jump in and help, I have to see I can plan home time to even come out and play.

[— Hammerhead —]

I can help for the 2015 event.

[Thumper13]

Randy, you know where to reach me when it's time ! Even if the only way my Miata makes an appearance is on a trailer.
