For those of us that have watched S-Fest with some envy it looks as if
//S-Fest West is a going thang; it seemed to be much like the first year
or
three of that eastern venue from what I can tell, except we didn't get
quite
as fussy about parking and all the cars had Audi rings on them.  Carl
deserves a huge round of applause and appreciation for opening up his
home
and for his endless hospitality.  Kudos also to co-organizer Gabriel
Caldwell with support from Eric Phillips and contributions by Dave
Forgie
and others I assume.>>>



Ironic it is...  cloning my event and then to hear silly digs shot at
ours.  So great to have yous contact me prior, too!  Awesome.  Original
name, and everything.  

Steve, when I have GoF's @ my place any given work night a buncha times
a year (next weekend stay looneytooned) that attract say 20 cars to my
house, sure we don't get "fussy" about parking either.  Coordinating a
multinational premiere event that features 60 UrS cars alone, and six
figure P's, F's, lions and tigers and bears - OH MY! - well, yeah,
things get particular.  

Kinda sorta an integral part of what makes //SFest, //SFest.  There is
only one //SFest - a festival of JNR and fellow friends - a GoF of
exponential proportion framed out by a finely flowing barrage of UrSs
and all other automotivedom of relevance.  And we do find everyone here
rather enjoys the varied array of "non ring'd" eye candy - we're a bunch
of petrol heads first and foremost here, not exclusionary by any means.
So much so hey maybe just maybe "//SFest2008" (if there were such a
thang), heck, maybe we'll have it be an AntiAudi event?  8-)

ANYwho... kudos at least in providing an outlet for you wrong coasters
to gtg, tho, it's been a long time coming. Sounds like all had fun -
great to see!  Do keep up the good work there guys - sure the folks out
there appreciate it as does everyone within a 2k radius of CT.
Definitely looking forward to some of your original ideas, I am - we
could then clone them maybe behind the scenez and take credit?  Sweet!
Less werk for me!  

The first year in my yard only saw ~ 45 cars and 75 people so it can
take awhile to sprout root.  Years 2 and three grew markedly from there.
Years four, five, six?  Well, you know the story.  Contrary to some of
the comedic misinformation floating about out there, our Granby location
had always been on the market for sale.  2005 was to be @ CMC initially,
only to be swung back to Granby at the last minute.  And in the most
hilarious of irony...  it was those on AW that "pissed off the
homeowner", 2 years running.  The misinformation out there sure does
provide good laughs yeah.

Again gentz - kudos on your get together - it's true this is all in good
spirit.  Some of it just slightly misguided it would seem.
