Meet and greet for December update

Based on the votes recived thus far, I have decided the offical date for the Festival of lights meet and greet will be December 6,2008. For those who may not be familar with the Bull Run festival of lights, it is an annual event that runs from the beginning of December to about early January. Here is a link to explain how the event is incase there are those who are seeing this for the very first time.
Welcome to Bull Run Festival of Lights

This is a well attended event, and has been known to draw folks from all over the DC area. This will be a lot of fun.
The plan of action is for us as a group to all meet collcetively at...
Starbucks Coffee
Centrewood Shopping Center
14155 St. Germaine Dr.
Centerville, Virginia 20122
if you look up their web site, you can locate that one very easliy, or you can seek that on mapquest. The meeting time im setting for 3.30 pm, that way, we all can enjoy a good coffee, or whatever you like. That of course will give yours truly time to look at some of the wonderfully decked out Smarts for the holiday season. Of course this also includes my little side contest referrred to as

Deck The Smarts

Yes this is one of those little opurtunites to really have some fun material for the rest of the members of this forum to have a good gander at ( say chesse). I will be doing some door prizes for the three best creativley done cars out there. As i mentoined in the original post, do what you like, but don't do anything that can pose a possible driving hazard to yourself or others. As if our Smarties alone did not turn heads already.
From there, we all shall have a good cruise to the Festival of lights as a wonderful bunch at around 5.00 pm ( good chance to catch a good place to park for the other good stuff offered). Now that i have your attention, this leads to the next poll i created just for the event. I ask that to those who are interested in going to the meet, i need to know by answering the poll i created. The reason i ask is so i can get a definate of not only how many to expect, but more so how much to buy for sharing Smores only that there is a huge bonfire there.
Just to let you all know this is not only for the guys in the DC metro area, but you folks in the Virgina Beach/Norfolk area, as well as the other surrounding areas are more than invited to join. If you are still waiting for your Smart, don't feel left out, all cars are welcome, and better yet, im sure there is somebody looking for a buddy to share the ride. Until then, get those creative juices going, and see ya at the meet.

Actually i am going to change the time to 4.00 instead of 3.30 due to the fact i have a play rehersal that goes on unitl that time, and all due to fairness, nobody should wait for myself for over an hour or more. It is indeed at the same loaction. 4.00 is the new time. I should get in 4.30 or 4.45, but there is the possiblity i can leave early which im going to try for again. Can't wait til then.

Oh BTW i took the sweet liberty of giving an invite to DC Mayor Fenty and his wife to the meet. To have his presence there with his wife would be a really sweet Christmas wish come true.

I shall be present, in a freshly washed scooter.

I won't be decorated up though - a bit too anal for that (don't want to chance micro scratches in my clearcoat!).

That is understood. I put sone touch up paint on my hood not long ago, and ooohhh it shows. I will be looking to replace the lid next year ( Yes it is a vanity thing). Can't wait to see scooter, and the rest of ya all at the meet. I may not be as decked as i like, ahhh, but there could be something under my hat yet.

We will be there with the first prototype for our new exhaust system installed along with the Sport(roll)bar and hopefully if the machine shop finishes up today some other small items. I hope to have 2 full production exhaust systems ready early next year along with a true cold air intake.

Rachel and I will see you tomorrow.

From what i have seen in this poll, at least nine confirmed Smarts will be seen at the meet, and possibly a few more that i have not seen on this poll, but are coming by this forum or word of mouth to those i had encountered in my travels, and fellow enthusiasts ( A good deal of word of mouth courtesy of The Tysons Smart Center thank you very much for telling new Smart owners and those present)I am looking forward to a really good time with everybody.

I do need to let you know that the weather reports are calling for very cold tempuratures and the possiblity of snow showers, so bring your best winter gear for the night, and if there are those who would like to bring goodies to share, that's really welcome ( Chocolate is especailly dandy)
I am hoping to bring some smores, but if the jacksons and george washingtons get a little low, then i shall think of something good.

Now for those who like to dress up their Smart for the holidays for the little contest, there is one thing i will ask. Since i may not know everybody's car by pure sight, i ask to make my looksee a little easier please place a indentifier by your user name. Some of the cars i know well by their look and owners ( Yuckmoon, Rumbarger, and Lynancoma's smarts i know right away) others i may not . I do ask that the car not be done up in way to pose a safety issue with others on the road, but if one should go crazy, driving with the decor is optional.


Most of all, lets all have a truly memorable time, and indeed bring those cameras with you for the event. If there should be adddtional questions, my contact number is 571-338-0112. I will not have the phone on the whole time as i am in rehersal, but will check voice mail often. Until then, drive smart ya all.
