Bay Area Meet 2017 - BAM!

This post will get updated as more official info is released.

BAM is by far the best Subaru specific show if you want to feel welcomed. It's a grassroots event run by the Subaru community for the Subaru community. It's fun for the whole family, so bring the kids. It's a charity event with a huge raffle full of donated items, from your favorite local speed shops to the big brand name parts suppliers. And every raffle ticket sold funds the charity, not the pockets of the organizers. It's a little friendly competition in the car show. I dare another major Subaru specific car show to raise as much for charity as we do, while having half as much fun. Other shows are run for profit and you can feel that when you go... BAM is all about community.

[B][SIZE="5"]Bay Area Subaru Meet 2017
DATE:
October 1, 2017[/SIZE][/B]

[B]TIME:[/B]
Doors @ 10:30.
On site food vendors will be open, so eat whenever you're ready.
Raffle times will depend on how many prizes we can get but the last raffle will be just before the event ends and will contain some of the larger items.
The event technically ends at 3pm. You're welcome to stay later if you choose but the event will start shutting down and cleaning up.

[B]LOCATION:[/B]
San Jose Giants Stadium
588 E Alma Ave, San Jose, CA 95112

After several years of ever increasing attedance at Quarry Lakes in Fremont, we have decided to change venues. We needed a place with larger parking, more space for car show and vendors and an opportunity to better showcase our charity efforts.

[B]COST:[/B] $10 per person prepay. Prices may be higher at the door. Kids under 13 fly free. Paypal payment to [email]baicbamevent@gmail.com[/email] please send as friends and family and send a note with first and last name so we can check you in upon arrival.

[B]FOOD:[/B]
Stadium vendors will be open, selling food and beverages, including beer. This solves the problem of people not wanting to pay for food they may not want. Now you buy your own only if you want it.

[B]VEHICLE PARKING and PARK COSTS:[/B]
We can not help these. We are using private property and they have their own fees. We can not roll all costs together with the size and style of BAM.

PARK ENTRY: $10 per car
(See attached photo for breakdown - thanks Dave)

[B]CHARITY: [/B]
Jacob’s Heart Foundation. They do great work and we're very happy to partner with them once again. Since the current crew took over BAM we have made the charity a major focus. We've increased our donation every year to date and we're really hoping to do that again this year. 3 years ago it was $7,000. 2 years ago, $9,700. Last year we hit $12,500. Let's break $15k this year!

[B]NOTE:[/B]
[U]ON SITE SALES ARE NO LONGER BANNED![/U]
Vendors are welcomed, and encouraged to bring some parts and products to sell on site!

Also, if you want to sell your used parts, have at it.

[B]RAFFLE TICKETS:[/B]
NO PREPAY FOR RAFFLE TICKETS! ON SITE RAFFLE TICKET SALES ONLY!!! DO NOT SEND MONEY VIA PAYPAL FOR RAFFLE TICKETS!!

1 ticket: $2
3 tickets: $5
7 tickets: $10
20 tickets: $25
45 tickets: $50

[B]KIDS ENTERTAINMENT:[/B]
The stadium has an assortment of fun stuff for kids in the Kids Corner. Check out the bounce house and more.

[B]SHIRT and HOODIES:[/B]
Prepay will be open as soon as we finalize our design. Check back here for updates.

[B]ALCOHOL: [/B]
No outside alcohol allowed. They will have ice cold beer on tap. If you bring your own, be aware that the stadium has their own security staff and you will be removed.

[B]CAR SHOW:[/B]
This year's car show will take place ON THE BASEBALL FIELD. Over 50 cars entered the car show last year. Trophies and award plaques to winners. We will have some cool trophies and we'll have some plaques once again. Mainly it's just bragging rights.
We have a separate Private Event set up to keep car show participants organized. If you want to enter the car show, send payment via paypal (friends and family please) to [email]baicbamevent@gmail.com[/email]
Car show entry: $25 for you and your car (you will still pay $10 at the gate to get in, and additional passengers in your car still need to pay $10 entry fee)
Cars will be judged by a panel, you do not need to be present at the time of judging. If you want us to know something unique about your car… Not mandatory but we recommend that all participants put a mod list in the windshield

Also, may want to note, in addition to no outside alcohol, no outside food as well.

that "no outside food" will be interesting...

I will be leading a caravan from Philadelphia.

Assuming that it's open, there's a pretty badass BBQ operation at that stadium. I don't think you'll want for outside food

Perfect. I'm leading the Omaha, Nebraska caravan....on your way through we can meet up at Dave and Busters?

[QUOTE=glenspen;3651970]Perfect. I'm leading the Omaha, Nebraska caravan....on your way through we can meet up at Dave and Busters?[/QUOTE]

Absolutely! Let me nail down exactly when we will be leaving Philadelphia. When is your caravan leaving Omaha? Will you have a CB radio?

I am not kidding either. I am driving out from Philly.

[QUOTE=Lowend;3651964]Assuming that it's open, there's a pretty badass BBQ operation at that stadium. I don't think you'll want for outside food[/QUOTE]

at this time my understanding is that bbq is on lock! Will be open.

Vendors are starting to sign on.

Detail Maniac
Njenius Grafix
Wagon Mafia
Team Moist

Got some heavy hitters that should be confirmed in the next couple days.

I'll keep this place updated and the Facebook.

Anyone that's on any other forums just link to the Facebook event page!

Yes, the whole concession/bbq and the seating areas near it will be open (except the bleachers).

Are our furry friends allowed to join this year?

[QUOTE=04GG;3652182]lol. Different Giants though.[/QUOTE]

Cant be too sure about these things, I strongly dislike the football giants, guilty by association.

Looks like I am not gonna make it. Truck rentals seem to be cheaper a week after BAM.

What are you renting a truck for?

[QUOTE=sigma pi;3652425]What are you renting a truck for?[/QUOTE]

A 26' International 4300. I will also be towing one car.

Ahhhh thought it was just a car. I am going to bring my truck, so I would have dragged your car there.

Sweet! haven't been on the forum for a while but I wear the 2013 sweater all the time, longest lasting sweater I have owned and I need more!
Too bad I live right around the corner so not much of a caravan for me

Any suggestions for a hotel?

[QUOTE=sigma pi;3652595]Any suggestions for a hotel?[/QUOTE]

Anything downtown is pretty close, but also probably a bit more pricey. Closer to the venue, maybe something along Monterey Rd.

lol. Further from downtown in that direction, the worse it gets, but closer gets more pricey. Right around airport are also a bunch that should be OK.

Just live dangerously.

I forgot to post earlier this morning at 10:30. :ohwell:

And I'm too lazy to look back thru the thread, but I too am stoked for the BBQ at the stadium. It's been a minute since I've had their grub.

A li'l birdy told me that they may offer a special item or two at concession. Pulled pork sliders anyone? I just made a grip of them today for visiting relatives. We annihilated nearly 40 of 'em for dinner.:nod:

We are not gonna make it for BAM but we would love to hang out! I should be back October 5th. I hear you like snow. I do have access to a family cabin in Rubicon bay at tahoe. None of my family goes up during winter....

[QUOTE=queeg9k;3653914]Bumping a stickied thread? :ohwell:[/QUOTE]

Still gets bumped to the top of the "new posts" search ;)

In Chicken's defense... If you're only looking at New Posts, the stickied threads don't show unless there's a new post.

EDIT: Yeah, what he said.

^ Yup.

I almost never go straight to a sub-forum. I just click new posts and it'll show me everything thats been posted in since the last time I checked ;)

Aha! I'm just the opposite from y'all. Walker's probably the same. I go to the sub-forum. With the much lower activity on here than a couple years back, the check-new-posts method is likely the way to go.:thumb:

Aww... too bad BAM isn't in the cards this year. But awesome y'all will be back shortly thereafter. Mos def gotta link up once y'all get settled.

And awesome that you & your family got a spot so close to the lake. It'd be awesome to check it out when I'm up in my winter playgrounds. Only thing is that the switchbacks on Hwy89 at Emerald Bay regularly close during significant snowfall. So the way to South Lake and its nearby resorts aren't easily accessible. But luckily, if Homewood or even Alpine or Squaw are in my crosshairs, your family's cabin would be an awesome crashpad. ;)

Bump!

If my GC is still up for sale, I'll bring it to the meet for test drives and such. Just got a new(er) car so it'll be weird for me to park that with a bunch of Subies.

Money sent for entries and tees!!!

I finally paid for my event entry & Tee.:cool:

Afaik, we only have ONE more day to pre-order apparel. While there is no pre-order thread here on i-club and although I don't do social media, I do know that the word is out there that we only have a VERY LIMITED window to pre-order shirts & hoodies and that there may also be ONLY a VERY LIMITED quantity of apparel for purchase at the event. [B]So get on it!!![/B]

Also, the pre-pay period for event entry will be closing soon as well. Once the pre-pay window shuts, your only option is paying at the event. And as usual, the $10 "early-bird" pre-pay pricing will be gone, too. [B]So again, get on it!!![/B]

We'll have some QTY's available for sale at the event, but it'll go pretty fast. So your best bet to ensure you get the piece you want in the size you want is to pre-order TODAY!!! :thumb:
