With Laura's newest additions, we now have 76 varieties of brew in 89 bottles! (some are doubles). :top:

If you're on the fence about coming because you don't have any new/interesting beer or cider to bring... come anyway! We have plenty of brew, more than the 9 currently RSVPed "Yeses" (as of this post) can drink. Come on out and try some new brews! :beerglass::beer::beerglass:

The list has been updated once more. It adds a "Brew Type/Style" column and the ABV for each brew, plus some minor formatting changes. Thanks to Laura for your idea and efforts to make the list more thorough!

I have updated the brew list in the 1st comment - a few more have been added, including a rare (for the USA) pear cider from Sweden that I brought back with me on my last trip to Australia. You can't buy it here! Looking forward to the event! It should be fun and delicious! :top:

Unlike beer, I don't think cider goes bad simply when going from cold to warm temps. If that's true (the cidery will know), and you can swing a growler of their IPA, that would be fantastic!

That's probably the difference then. The 3-piece dash in the post-refresh models vs. the 5-piece dash in the pre-refresh models. Considering the 3-piece dash extends the same piece over the vents on the sides, I smell an airbag redesign as part of the overall refresh. Happy to learn something new.

Maybe they changed it for the refresh then... because I have a distinct visible cutout line in the top of the passenger side of my post-refresh R53. It does not come out of the plastic (or in my case leather) front portion of the dash in mine. I'll try to take a pic tomorrow to show you what I mean... plus a little digging on RealOEM. Not trying to beat a dead horse, I just want to find out the specifics because it's important for safety.

The dash looks great! ...but doesn't the passenger airbag come out of the top of the dash?

I gather you meant Bold Rock? If you can get their IPA ("India Pressed Apple"), that would be awesome! I don't think they sell it in bottles yet, it's only on tap in the cidery tasting room... but it might be possible to get a growler of it.

It's actually an annual membership, but it's tied to the calendar year... so the price is discounted in each quarter since it isn't for a full year. Everyone's full year renewal is due in January, regardless of when you join.

I'd love to go, but at 10 1/2 years and 122,000 miles and counting on Mr. OEM, I don't think any more track days are advisable, as the heavy dose of associated wear-and-tear is just too much for him now, I think. It's the same reason I stopped doing autocross. It's already gotten very expensive to keep it properly maintained for daily driving, let alone track days. Oh, if only I could own a dedicated track MINI! :motor:

Attached is the current list of brews that we have so far. I will update this attachment as people submit more to us that they are bringing to the event. 2015 DCMM Brew Tasting.xlsx 2015 DCMM Brew Tasting.xlsx

They can RSVP with their own forum account. The board can decide to change this, but traditionally we have not opened up "guests" for the annual meeting because it is a members-only event (due to the board vote and the fact the club picks up the cost of the food).

This is the new event thread for the 2015 Annual Meeting. If you RSVPed to the other one that was here, you'll have to RSVP again. Please remember that this is for members only, so guests (i.e. +1) are not opened up in the RSVP system.

I'm very disappointed I won't make it, especially for a special occasion... but I want to point out that the table in front of the bar won't be big enough for the 14+ people expected. It has fixed seats, and I think it can only hold 8 seating, 1 standing at the end. Maybe it makes more sense for you guys to ask for a larger space in the back? Anyway - have fun everyone... and best of luck to Corey!

We're coming to Passport and will make a game-time decision on the movie. Bonus - we're bringing Susan's super easy going dog Copper since dogs are allowed at the drive-in if we decide to go.

Well, that helps a little bit... getting out at 12 instead of 12:30.

I just got an email back from David Hellmuth: So that's that - it's final. Minions first, then Pixels. It probably doesn't help that Minions is rated PG and Pixels is rated PG-13.

It's possible that David already pre-arranged to have Pixels show first, but that flyer predates the posting of the movie schedule on the theatre's website (which is listed for the general public), so I suspect that without intervention on David Hellmuth's part, Minions will be first.

I emailed David Hellmuth too - not to bow out at this point but to ask him that since we are bringing them ~70 MINIs of business, if he thinks he might have enough pull to flip the order and show Pixels first. No harm in asking, right? :angel:

Update on the theatre tomorrow night - their website is showing the following for our screen (Screen 1): 8:45pm - Minions 10:45pm - Pixels ...so be prepared for a very late night if you want to see Pixels. Just a heads up! (Susan and I have already seen Minions, so I wish they were showing Pixels first!)

Oops yeah I wasn't thinking about that. R50 & R53 only. R52 doesn't have a B pillar to put it on!

The 1st Gen MINIs had the sliding adjuster (mine does), but they removed it in the 2nd Gens, probably as a cost-cutting measure.

I ordered two too.

She spells it with one L, Will - Hilary not Hillary. I'll order one on Tuesday when I am back in town. Maybe that will do the trick. Happy to have a choice other than white or black, but obviously wish there was blue! :angel:
