Hey Susie,
Well written indeed! To your comment above, someone is making a Documentary, and that's me. Check out:

www.smarttrip08.com

My wife and I are departing NYC next Saturday the 9th and plan to arrive SFO on the evening of the 16th just in time for the Lombard Street Rally the next morning. I kind of feel like this event is going to be the grand finale of the film and am really looking forward to participating!

Oh, Peter, how absolutely fabulous.

You two will find that being smart ambassadors is a love-filled experience, and to take the message across the USA - well, it just doesn't get any better than that.

Will you be staying at the Majestic? They're giving us a darned good rate...

Can't wait to meet you and your sweet bride, and see all of the miles of smiles you record.

Bon Voyage!

HULLO.............................That Golden Gate

So it's getting close to the 17th. Are there finalized plans or an itinerary? I've had a few friends express interest in seeing all the smarts, but I don't have any details to give them.

Places to Stay: Hotel Majestic, the oldest continuously running hotel in San Francisco, has provided an attractive group rate. Starting Monday, June 23, call the hotel at (800) 869-8966 or http://www.thehotelmajestic.com. Ask for the SMART Rate or if you go through the website to book, just use rate code: 1019.
Just had an email that Majestic is no longer offering the discount... If you find other accomodations, please post.
Thanks, Kathy

Hi Lombard Smarts,
Everything is coming together and everyone who's registered should be getting an email by the end of the week with details & payment instructions..

We have ~90 cars registered so far!

But, here's a shout out for some help:

We'll be staging our cars in a parking lot near Lombard. Although we're hoping to leave for Lombard by 8:30am, we've prepaid for parking till 9:00am just in case so we have time to organize, stretch, etc... ( go to the bathroom).

There's a small grass area with a few picnic tables adjacent to our parking spaces where we thought it would be great to have coffee/food available, as it's so early in the morning. So we had a vending truck lined up, but that won't work out.

They will let us bring in coffee/snacks - even will set up extra trash bins/recycling.. we just can't sell anything. The $20/car fee is probably not going to cover expenses as it is, so we can't afford any extras.

If anyone has any hookups, ideas or just wants to sponsor morning coffee &/or snacks for the group (probably $200-400) send me a pm or email me at qtbird at gmail dot com.

Thanks, Kathy

You're on the right track... problem is we (the committee) are pretty overwhelmed at this point. I'd venture to say none of us (at least me) realized the amount of work involved and we're struggling just to get the basics done at this point....


Do you (or anyone else) want to take this on (contacting starbucks, working out details, etc) if so let me know that would be great & I'll do what I can to help!

Kathy

Hi guys,

I have a package of items that I need to get to the event. Is there anyone that I could ship the package to rather then dealing with flying it down with me?

Personal message me if I can ship this to you and retrieve it prior to the event.

Thanks,
Ryan
