All good things to note. I think that since it will be labor day weekend, most people are understanding that there will be a bit of partying.

As for how far it is to *.store, everything you can imagine is within 5 minutes of anywhere. :p Have you been to the Washington Metropolitan Area before?

I agree with that, and I'm one of the people that wouldn't mind actually going out on the track, but there are a lot of people that have zero interest whatsoever in that, unless it's for a fuel economy run or something.

If someone is seriously considering a Hyatt as a location, let me know. I can put you in touch with someone who might be able to help (although she works at the H.R. in downtown SF, she has connections to all the others).

Some years I've spent 90% of my time in hotels. I've gotten in pretty good w/ the staff and have heard stories. Some guests want everything quite after 7pm and will call the front deck if a dog farts.

You just don't want a hotel that is going to add a bunch of stupid "rules" when reserving a room block. It's just a freakin hotel and some hotels have a superiority complex.

Yep, great area. Horrible traffic congestion. Dulles/Tysons/Chantilly isn't all that bad 4 traffic. It's just "nice" but not essential to have everything next to the hotel w/ out having to fight traffic jams.

It's a holiday weekend but dc traffic can still get interesting.

You kind of get immune to the traffic issues after some time in DC (kinda like LA) but people from other areas do notice.

Don't get me wrong, I'm pulling for DC. Haven't been there in a few years and wouldn't mind going back for a visit.

Yes but this IS the TDI Club, home of the cheap (frugal?!) How many would then proceed to put their cars in neutral and push the dang things around the laps repeatedly just to post the best MPG? :D

You will need to give it more than lip service to get it out there.........:rolleyes:
The west coasters have been whining for years about never having a fest out there........:eek:
No one has stepped up to the plate yet.............

I'll work on that proposal. In the meantime, where are all the 'West Coasters'? I can't be the only one to want TDI Fest out here. :cool:

I know this probably has little affect on any decision, but lets do it in the west, say UTAH again! I had to miss this year and am VERY eager to attend a TDI fest!!! Given, i'll drive where I need to for the fest....it'd just be fun to do a Salt Flat 130MPH club again, cuz i'd be in!

If you want a Fest in your area, don't talk about having a Fest in your area.

Plan a Fest in your area, instead.

Talking doesn't get you a Fest.

Good luck.

For those who are working on this and haven't talked to me, please send me note to touch base on the requirements as you work on putting a proposal together.

For those who are working on a bid, please touch base with me before the due date to ensure that all bases are covered.

Additionally it turns out I probably won't have enough time during the week of the October 24th to November 1st to properly review proposals, so you are in luck. I've defered the dates by one week so please have the proposals in by November 1st and I'll post an announcement November 7th. I'm looking forward to the proposals and if you have it done by the 24th, don't be shy.:)

Things have been insane at work this month, but I will have time this week to do some work on our proposal.

Is anyone else working on proposals for the 09 Fest, or do we win by default?
