Technically since Alameda (I have proof).

I'm also interested

Unlike previous years where he had a more accurate early count, this one happened so fast that we were lucky we were able to fill all the preorders.

Unless the printer shorted us on any quantities, I wouldn't count on a re-run of apparel. Although Ray has done so in the past, it's only been out of the goodness of his heart or because he made an error with ordering.

Whatever the reason was, it's ALWAYS been a HUGE, HUGE pain to get worked out.

Unless the error was on our end, I will support Ray in holding to his word in Post #115 the Shirt & Hoody Pre-Order thread....
There will not be a follow up order this year. I ate about $600 last year on that because of people flaking. So I really won't be doing one this year.
In that thread alone there are countless suggestions, notices & recommendations to prepay before the deadline. There were also several warnings that if you missed the deadline that you should get to the shirt & hoody area asap since quantities would be VERY LIMITED. See Posts 14, 41 or 80 there.

The only option now is to hope with Lloyd Christmas' optimism...

Thus the reason we had some '13 stuff up at the tables, and actually there's still some '13 stuff available via Ray. As mentioned, while there's a slim possibility, I wouldn't count on there being any more '14 swag.

That along with your screen shots to accompany the instructions were most definitely not clear enough.

Also, it seems that a MUCH MUCH larger portion of attendees are not even i-club members. Something we'll have to tweak for next year. We should have more than 3.5 weeks to put this on next year. LOL *crosses fingers*

Since you were among the "early bird" group--i.e. vendors, carshow & volunteers--to eat, you may have missed when I got to play preschool teacher by showing what colors were pink, green & purple during lunch service.

Funny thing is I needed to verify the colors myself cuz I could swear the green band was a FOREST green when I saw them the other day at the org crew's mtg as well as early in the morning. Too many long nights over the past week. Plus, dat earffquake made me lose an hour of shuteye.

It was a great meet, It would have been better if I knew more of you guys, I spent most of my time wandering around photographing the cars. My wife has an 08 Forester XT and she was hoping that there would be some Subigirls there but I don't think there was anyone from that forum there. it was good to see a couple of the new Model STI's and some nice GC cars there also.
I guess if I had to pick a car I liked the most it would be this one

I think there should be an overall show winner and everyone should have their name and username on a tag so we could all figure out who's who.
I loved these two cars also

The best way to get to meet the community is to volunteer at the event! This is how I met a lot of great people over the past couple years. I'm not active on Subigirls anymore; I just lurk here.

That being said, I don't think enough "thanks"can be given to all who planned, organized, and volunteered to make this event happen! Can't wait for next year. . Maybe I'll enter in the show! I had a fantastic time with everyone and seeing all the cars. .
Until next year. .

There will NOT be a re-order. Period. Last year I got stuck with over $600 is B.S.

But I do have a little insider information on the possibility of a few more items popping up for sale in the next week or so... so pay attention.

And if anyone is interested in last years stuff I'll sell what I have. $10 for shirts. $20 for hoodies. That's a loss for me but I don't want that isht in my guest room anymore. LOL!

Oh... and buy some damned Coozies off Jamison. 1/$5. 3/$10. That's shipped.
