OT.

One of my favorite things when I was stationed in Nürnberg was stopping at a corner in the Alt Stadt and having 2 bratwurst on a Brötchen with mustard; it was especially good in the winter!

not only are there a few Trader Joe's, but close by, the real deal.

but they look at you funny if you talk TDI at the meat counter.

If we pick up some of this, can we have a camp fire Brat party?

Regrets.....

Cheryl and I have discussed this extensively........
We both are facing some health issues, both new and chronic. While we will miss you all madly, we just cannot face the twenty hour drive. We also feel it is better to stay closer to home while we work with our MDs to stabilize our conditions.

Good news. I'm a TDIClub member. I've already met my commitment to help purchase the fest pins, along with the V's and Tom. I've got rafflle/auction items to send y'all, just tell me where.

Y'all can keep the banquet payment. Consider it postage to send me the goodie bag with the T shirts. . If only I can get someone to stuff it with vendor goodies....

Good lunch to the new auctioneer and huckster!

Bruce,

That is most unfortunate news! I hope you and Cheryl take it easy and find yourselves in good health again soon. I'll make a post reaching out for an auctioneer - we have some big shoes to fill!

I love that place!

Finally, one in my home town! I am happy to give local tours and hook anyone up with the non-tourista places to see and eat at if interested!

That's cool! You should start a thread with some top tips.

I would like to spend part of a day driving around some back mountain roads, preferably of the unpaved variety.

I can take on on the track of the NE forest rally... Doesn't get any better than that! You have a skid plate?!? I'll start a thread momentarily!

I have a Touareg. Does that count? The Passat has a skid plate, but it is staying home this year (unless the Touareg decides that it needs maintenance... You never know ).

Haha! You'll be fine with that beast. 100's of miles of logging roads to show you! I just posted a couple on-road routes for folks as well that are on my favorites list.

Pffft, the logging roads are often in better shape than the 'paved' roads.

Anyone bringing a bicycle to ride on occasion?

Seconded

 

[cfc1016]

I'm registered. Looking forward to it.

 

[Lug_Nut]

Yes, but which one....

 

[Abacus]

For me it's either the road bike or the fat bike.

 

[babelfish42]

can I pa at the door?

soooo can I pay at the door? I'm not part of any garage or anything?
also, how much are tickets for non-members such as girlfriends, second cousins and frenemies?

 

[Abacus]

On a related note, I know some people who are not on the boards but may want to attend, and one it not online (if you can believe it).

Paying at the door is possible, but we would prefer that you register in advance if you plan on coming. Accurate head counts really help us with our organization and preparedness.

You must purchase a TDIClub subscription in order to attend - an Enthusiast level subscription will cover you, one adult guest, and children under the age of 18. Additional adults beyond the one guest will need to purchase their own subscription to attend. Meal events and the group drive to Mt. Washington are separate.

The first post of this thread contains all of the relevant links and information for registering for the event.

 

[VeeDubTDI]

On a related note, I know some people who are not on the boards but may want to attend, and one it not online (if you can believe it).

In order to attend meal events (meet & greet, breakfast, banquet), people will need to register online in advance. If they don't wish to participate in the meals, they can register at the door starting at 5pm on Friday.

 

[Abacus]

I will let them know, thanks.

 

[NarfBLAST]

I would like to attend the cruise up Mt. Washington but I plan to drive in on Saturday and was wondering what time and where the meet is for that? I have checked the wiki but it seems to be just one page with no times listed?

 

[VeeDubTDI]

The agenda with exact times will be posted next week. It's a sunset drive, so we will probably leave the hotel around 5:30ish on Saturday afternoon.
