Brucelee, AVE, Oh 4 Panda, Vendors, Cooks, and everyone alse who made this years BAM possible Thankyou! really you guys rock all that time and effort you guys put into this event to happen for all of us to have fun and get away from home just needs to be appreciated and its good to see that all these i-club members do. I cant compare this years BAM to other years since they have all been fun and different in their own ways, but i can say im glad that this year everyone was nice enough to respect BAM (like not stealing) over like previous years. So thanks again to everyone involved in this years BAM X.
big ups to daniel and the others for hosting/organizing this, bamx is my first one!! i've gotta say, this is MUCH better than any of the big meets i've been to in socal and i've been around for a long while
i can't wait to attend the next one that i can make

I only got my Subaru a few months ago, so this was my first Subaru meet of any kind (at least as a Subaru owner; I used to go to the UC Krispy Kreme meets back in the day, in my old car). I have to say, I'm happy to be part of such a good community of car enthusiasts. =) Even before I got there, I knew a lot of work had to be done by some dedicated individuals, and I really appreciate that. Props.

Daniel, Gabe, Ave, Anna, Cooks, Vendors, DJ,
Thank you so much for your hard sacrificial work (I know from volunteering last year). And all the rest of you I-clubbers. Much love and gratitude for sharing this absurd passion for Subaru's.
Also thank you for those who voted for my BAM X design and the opportunity to represent y'all! For those that didn't vote for it, I still hope that it grows on ya!

Thank you so much to all the Vendors. You are all so wonderful and thank you so much to Leo (DetailAddict) for saving the car show by providing the last minute prizes.
Thank you LIC for the kind words. It truly meant a lot to Ave and I. Noah, I still remember talking to you about taking on BAM, and lookie there, it actually happened. I am so happy that you and your family had fun. It means a lot to us because all Ave and I wanted to do was make sure you all had fun.
Thanks to all of you who came up to me to say hi and to all of you who told me you liked my car. It truly truly meant a lot that you payed attention to detail.
Thank you to the cooks for doing such a great job. You worked really hard and we truly appreciate all you have done.
Thank you to the DJ for coming last minute. If it wasn't for you, we wouldn't have had an event. Please, if you ever need anything, let us know.
Thank you Jen (Gibz) for starting my day off with Starbucks coffee & a hug. That was definitely my fuel for the day. <3
Thank you Leo (ldivinag) for transporting the tires for me. You are such an awesome person.
Thank you to those who brought their bats out for the games. I am sorry we were able to really use them due to changes that were made without my knowing so. I truly appreciate that you offered your help. Sorry if I didn't get to properly introduce myself.
Thanks to Jesse (imHELLAslow) and An (gf) for helping me set up. Also that one guy from FLI (i'm sorry what's your name?) w/ the red truck for helping me out with the balloons. Thank you Kyle (Alliedforces) for blowing up the water balloons. Thank you to those who got a chance to participate in the games.
Thank you to Def'sik J_Status, all my Vallejo friends who helped me clean up. You are all such amazing people and you all truly kept me up and going. I'm such a lucky person to have all of you in my life. Thank you so much for your encouragement. You are truly the most uplifting group of friends (family) I can ever ask for. <3
Thank you to those of you who voted for me for the Car Show, it meant so much that someone other than myself likes my car. Thank you for noticing the little details that I put into my car, it meant a lot. Your kind words truly left its mark on my heart.
Thanks to BAIC for letting Ave and I take part, and I apologize if I seemed out of it. I only slept for an hour since I stayed up all night organizing all the stuff for the games/events. I was beyond exhausted so forgive me if I seemed crazy that day.
Thanks to everyone who took the time out of their day to thank Ave and I. I'll be honest, at first I didn't want to take part because everyone told me I'll hate doing it and no one will be happy. To me, I just wanted to do it because I wanted to make a difference, a change for the better, I guess you could say? But everyone told me it'll be hard and I'll never want to do it ever again. I went into this just wanting my friends to have fun and if I was able to make 10/100 people happy, I was happy. I tried my best & at the end of the day, I'm just glad you enjoyed yourselves. To all of you who came up to me to say thank you and tell me how much you loved the event, THANK YOU because you guys are the reason why I wanted to take part in this event. If I can make just one of you happy, I did my job.
Sorry if I left anyone else out. You know you're awesome.

I already said thanks, but I feel the need to say it again. Thanks to everyone. And I mean everyone. All your donations, your presence and just having a good time is greatly appreciated. I know Anna, Ave and Daniel were stressing with hosting such a big event, but it was amazing. You all did great. Cooks, Vendors, Sponsors, and the enthusiasts.
Only problem I had was the d'bag that was yelling while Ave and Anna were doing the tribute to Daniel and Eric.
Thanks to everyone that was there, seriously. I had a great time and it seems like everyone else did as well. I'm hoping next year we get more people out there and have a drama free BAM.

Otherwise, Huge thanks out to Daniel and everyone else who helped out to make this the best BAM yet! You guys rocked this one and I'm excited to see next years event. Please ignore the haters and whiners as they will always have something negative to say no matter how well the event runs.
Thanks
