I think 3 looks a little cheezy.

On a T-Shirt, I think 1 or 2 will look good.

Think embroidered....

Well, I can promise you you won't get ANY privacy if you're on that houseboat with Guy and Meow!

I'm going for a cabin, just not sure which one yet. I love all you guys but I don't need any cameras down my pants in the middle of the night.

#2 looks tight, but I'll give #3 an "A" for effort.

I'll be there, if the football schedule at AU allows it that is. (I will be in AU's Band and will be at most of the football games. Usually that weekend is an away game, and I think I will be able to make it)


I just wanna show my dad that I can drive too ^_^. Cmon dad.. Why can't we go to the casino?

Lets Get Those Registrations In!!!!

Its time to start registering for the event, now that the holidays are over and the new year is starting. Remember your registration must be in by July 31, 2005. I can't believe that only 2 people took advantage of the $5 discount on registration by December 31, 2004. And only 3 people participated in the logo contest. There are over 10,000 members on this board!!!!

The board for the Brotherhood of the Dragon has commited to providing an awesome banquet and great accomodations. We have guarenteed a specific number of spots and have signed a contract for that commitment. Lets get those registrations in!!!

I am making a commitment to you that if you pay for your registration fee and you end up winning the raffle for the free registration then I will refund your money, this way you will not lose out on the chance to win.

Is there something more we need to do to help advertise this or help sell the registration, please your comments are welcome!!!

CHECK OUT MY SIGNATURE FOR LINKS TO REGISTRATION!!!!! Registration is $50 and you can check out Mazda Now for all the specifics.

For the completely uninitiated, can someone describe what kinds of things will take place during this weekend? Interpret that question however you like...

But seriously, I am curious to know what it's all about.

Certainly...

What started last year as a simple post by epitrochoid, resulted in a gathering of about 26 people in the Smokey Mountains, to meet, converse and challenge the Tail of the Dragon. The "Tail of the Dragon" is an 11 mile, mountain road with 318 curves and no other roads joining into it. The RX-8, being the high-performance, smooth handling creature she is, was a PERFECT match for these twisting, curving roads. Car Clubs from all over the USA gather there for meets and to "challenge" the Dragon. The driving experience alone is a pleasure you won't soon forget.

Last year, we rented an 18 room mansion and gathered on Friday night. We ran the Tail of the Dragon on Saturday, and had our banquet on Saturday night. Many sponsors came together to donate doorprizes. The picture-taking opportunities were phenomenal, to say the least. In essence, it was one of those events in your life that you'll cherish memories of forever.

Another facet which contributed to the success of this meet was the people. Imagine 26 people coming together for the first time, and truly enjoying the company of every single one. Each person had their own persoanlity, perspective and character, but the subtle charm of the mountains and surrounding area seemed to induce a harmonious comraderie, seldom experienced in normal, day-to-day events.

We enjoyed the damn thing so much, we decided to do it again! Hell, we've decided to make it an annual affair!!

This year, many of us are going up early, to make it a 4 day vacation from the 7th of Sept through the 11th. Last year I took my daughter. This year I'm taking my whole family. There is so much to do and see up there, I'd be foolish NOT to make it a family affair. You have horse-back riding, white water rafting, museums, the Smokey Mountain Railroad, casinos and, of course, the mystical beauty of the mountains. We will also be giving away some pretty nice doorprizes, having guest speakers and as many vendor setups as possible. We will be posting an itinerary soon, detailing activties and outlining things to do. The official "meet" will probably be held on Saturday.

With your registration, you'll receive a discount to the Fontana Village, where we'll be gathering this year to accomodate all the people we anticipate attending, a certificate of induction into the RX-8 Brotherhood of the Dragon, a goody bag, a Brotherhood of the Dragon t-shirt, a ticket for a chance at winning one of the doorprizes and a feast fit for a king.

Use the links below to explore associated websites featuring the Dragon and the area. Then, come and join us for socializing, feasting and the CHALLENGE OF THE DRAGON. Hopefully, we'll see you there!

This alone, except for the 318 other reasons, made the trip worth while. I look forward to seeing you guys but with 2 different 8's this time. I wonder how my R- Comp tires will do on the new asphalt.......hmmmm....
