Hey everyone listen.. Just wanted to say upfront that I appreciate all of the support and help from everyone in trying to get this show going together. If the show doesn't turn out like everyone wanted or was hoping for, I won't worry about putting on another one, and I really appologize for letting everyone down. However, if the show does in fact turn out for the best, and everyone has a blast of a time, and we get an acceptable turn-out, please let me be the first to tell everyone that I am happy I could make everyones weekend, by resurecting a once dead show. And without knowing that much about Fiero's, except what I have picked up from Chris West & Chris Sideras (spelling), Tes, Julian, Craig, etc., I am glad that I could assist everyone in having a good time, and just the fact that we could all meet somewhere mutual to have a blast is kewl. If I did not meet everyones expectations, then I appologize, and I will stop trying to put these shows on.
For those of you that are coming up to the show, if you need help, directions, or just want to get together with us to confirm stuff, you can call me at (310) 619-0025. Otherwise, see ya'll there!
Charles, let's keep things in perspective. If we didn't put together this replacement show, there would be no show at all. Some folks planned a vacation around the FOCOA show, so at the very worst, we're giving them a Fiero show.
It'll be OK. We'll do our best, and I'm sure everyone will have a good time. Let's just concentrate on keeping things organized, fun, and showing the people who show up a good time.

Besides its Vegas, you can't go wrong......Well it could but that would be a personal issue at that point and nothing to do with the show...heh Or someone might win MEGABUCKS and then they could buy mods for all of us....right? even better yet use the millions to make and sell a new top-of-the-line Fiero..Wouldent that be great.

Well, I was going to come to Vegas IN SPITE of it being a FOCOA show. Whether I entered the show of not, I was just going to come and hang out and meet people. I personally like it much better this way. And I know it is going to be fine!

Mary and I are leaving for Vegas shortly. We should arrive in Vegas before midnight. We'll be at the Polo Towers tonight and tomorrow night, then we'll move over to the Imperial Palace for Th-Fr-Sa.
If you need to reach me, Tess, Charles and Chris West have my cell phone number. I'll see you guys in Vegas.

well the weather here has been cool(104-108), due to the slight rain. (yes it rained in vegas) but it is kinda humid for vegas. So it will be a good time for the show(Not 120 like a couple weeks ago But the shade in the garage will be great. That last heat wave sucked since I still don't hace A/C in the Fiero(either one). Seems to be autozone is out of stock nation wide and checker has to ship it from the east coast via UnPredictable Service (UPS) so that could take weeks. Seems no one in town has a compresor in stock, and I don't want a used one. But anyway THE WEATHER IS GREAT FOR VEGAS SO EVERYONE COME!!!!!!!

I was up in the parking garage today around 3pm, near the hottest part of the day. It's not bad at all. The forcast through Saturday is for the temp to be no higher than 99, which is almost cool for Vegas. No problem!
One reminder - if you are coming to the show (in a Fiero), parking on the 4th floor is reserved for us. You can park there as soon as you arrive. They started blocking off the area today (Wednesday).
We will be putting up signs tomorrow so you can park by car classification. If the signs are on the pillars, pay attention for your classification.

So what if you come in a big Ford, with a few Fiero's stacked up in the bed. Does that qualify for me to park on the 4th floor!
