Nothing like driving 7 hours and showing up at the hotel at 3:00am only for them to tell you they don't have your reservation and the place is booked...then he sends us to a room with a broken lock and then gives us another room....but I thought this place was booked...?
Oh well! Tomorrow will be a fun day!

Thank you to everyone that helped out with in the event in whichever form or fashion you could, I was just looking on the other forums and social media and it looks like everyone has only positive things to say about the event.
Just wanted to thank everyone that helped out, if you missed out on any of the free vendor swag because you got too busy working the event just hit me up and ill see what extras we have left over.
Chad and his wife Andrea had created a running list of helpers to rotate positions which was a TREMENDOUSLY HUGE help since we lost both of our 2 top traffic planners as well as some scheduled volunteers just before the event.
And thank you Angel and his lovely wife Lissette for getting us on ABC Action news!! That was so exciting to get our local miata club and event recognized on TV!!
oh and I got an earful from several of the local police officers face to face and on my cell phone since we had Dale Mabry Hwy Northbound shut down from the I-275 exit ramp all the way up to Dr. MLK Blvd north of the stadium at one point, hahhahahahahaha
Anyhow, to all you guys & gals that wore those yellow Miatapalooza Staff shirts, you are just amazing, you are the true heros of Miatapalooza here, without you this would have never happened, so thank you so much for making this event possible!!
I spoke with Bryce from Hooniverse and told him to please please please make sure to give a shout out to all the Miatapalooza staff wearing those yellow shirts in his upcoming article.
Thank you again to everyone that made this event possible! The Miata Community is the BEST Community !!!
