AMVIV 6

Wow, what a great weekend! HUGE congrats to The Sin City MINI Club and the AMVIV commitee for putting on yet another fantastic event!

We’ve been working hard to get everything up and posted for you! All of the video (so far) is up at WhiteRoof.tv. Here is a sample.

You can check out the photos here. Be sure to do a search at Flickr for AMVIV as there are a TON of great photos from some of the best MINI photographers in the country!

We still have audio and a little more video that you aren’t going to want to miss. We did a live show from AMVIV that some of you caught online plus camera were rolling for the banquet! All of that will be coming up later in the week.

White Roof Radio AMVIV Update

amviv6shbackA MINI Vacation in Vegas is 1 week from today friends! Are you ready? If you have already registered, great job! If not, there is still time, but not much. Registration will close tomorrow at noon! After that, banquet tickets will no longer be available and no guarantee of a shirt or a hat and you won’t be able to get one of the snazzy, pre-printed name badges.

The tentative schedule has gone up if you are wondering what it is you want to do. Of course Todd and I will be there, recording Woofcast 291 LIVE from the upper deck of the Palace Station before taking off to the Show and Shine. Expect things to get started right around noon. For those of you not able to make it, keep an eye on the sites for the live feed.

We hinted at this during Woof 290, but there will not be a regular show tonight. With today being the start of Todd’s birthday extravaganza and Michael or Gabe not being available, it would only be me, and that would be fairly boring. I will put up a Best of WRR in the feed on Monday for you to tide you over.

I’m going to posting quite a bit to Twitter, including the occasional photo from my phone. You can also follow along on Facebook. There will be photos and video too! Keep an eye out for those.

Don’t forget the new White Roof Radio page at Facebook either!. It’s set up so that you can share photos and videos with other WRR Fans, plus I’ll be putting a few things there as well.

1 week. I’m not sure about the rest of you, but I can’t wait!

Woofcast #290

lApologies for posting late. A live show tonight! Thanks to everyone that made it, apologies to those of you that missed it. And yes, for the record, Todd was wearing pants.

AMVIV is just about a week away! Listen in for Todd’s tip for getting a room in Vegas if you missed out on the great rate Palace Station was offering. There is still time to register for the event if you haven’t already. Even if you don’t register, you should still think about going, but remember, if you don’t register, you won’t be able to attend the banquet. Tickets for that are presale only.

If you do decided to go, be sure to be around the upper deck of Palace Station on Saturday because we will be doing an honest to goodness live show. Woofcast #291 or #292, depending on what happens this week.

Of course, we cover news of the week from Motoringfile.com. If you were wondering what a Space Box is, here you go. Of course, if you are looking for something more practical, check out the image above, sent in by our good friend Jim Peterson, The “Kernel” of C.O.R.N.

More on AMVIV to follow early next week. Stay tuned!

If you missed it, I’ve set up a few White Roof Radio page at Facebook, with links to other cool places on Facebook, including the AMVIV group. Come join us!

AMVIV Update 2

For those of you that aren’t on the email list (subscribe here), here is the latest concerning AMVIV. Don’t forget, both Todd and myself will be there! If you would be interested in Todd installing graphics on your MINI, let him know soon!

Be sure to find us and say hi. We are going to want to talk to everyone!

Also, I have been warming up WhiteRoof.tv for any video that we might capture. New gear that takes HD video as well as a little help this time around.

=============

Hi everyone, I just wanted to let you know what we’re up to with AMVIV and remind you of a few things.

  1. Palace Station is NOT going to close or be bought by Boyd before AMVIV.

  2. The group rate at Palace ends for the final time THIS FRIDAY, March 6th. If you want to stay at Palace where all the action will be, go here and book your room.

  3. Registrations are up to 242 as of this morning (3/2/09) so while we are a bit behind last year, we’re still looking at a very respectable turnout, on par with or even ahead of the 2007 event.

  4. The event book has now gone to the printers, so any vendors who sign up now won’t be in the book. We are still taking vendor registrations, so encourage your favorite vendors who aren’t on the www.amviv.com/sponsors.htm page yet to sign up. Continue reading “AMVIV Update 2”

AMVIV Update

amviv6shbackFor those that aren’t subscribed to the email list (you can subscribe here), here is the latest AMVIV 09 update from Grandmaster Agro.

For those of you that are concerned about the Station Casinos, please be sure to pay very close attention to the first paragraph.

I was just cruising through the attendee list and see that Canada will be representin’ big time, as will the PDX area. Of course, White Roof Radio will be there too.

Hi everyone. I’ve had a few worried emails from people concerned about Station Casinos bankruptcy talks. I just got off the phone with Connie at Palace and she assures me that this is no problem for us. Palace Station will be operating exactly as in prior years for AMVIV and we have nothing to worry about on that front.

On a different but still Palace related note, I convinced her to extend the group rate on the hotel by another week and a half. Our pickup is lower than in past years, so they are willing to work with us to get you the best rate we can. I know that people are concerned about finances and such, but this is a cheap Vegas weekend, especially if you can mostly stay away from the machines and tables.
