I'll try to make sure all updates happen here... so here it goes.
Bay Area Subaru Meet 2016
DATE:
Sept 18th, 2016
TIME:
Doors @ 10:30.
Food served in groups starting @ 12:30.
Raffle times will depend on how much I can get but the last one will be just before the event ends and will contain some of the larger items.
Even technically ends at 3pm. You're welcome to stay later if you choose but the event will start shutting down and cleaning up.
LOCATION:
Quarry Lakes Regional Recreation Area
2100 Isherwood Way, Fremont CA 94536
COST:
PREPAY: $10 per person (PREPAY DEADLINE TO BE ANNOUNCED.)
Kids under 13 fly free.
Prepays are being accepted now at baicbamevent@gmail.com *** SEND IT AS A GIFT PLEASE!!!!! *** . So your paypal payment must include... who you are, so I'll need your real name AND your screen name along with how many you are prepaying for. Your name will end up on a form with all of your info and what you're getting. Show up. Find your name. Get your stuff. Enter event.
This includes your wrist band for the event which gets you in and gets you your food and drinks. It will also include 1 raffle ticket ($2 value).
The big benefit of prepaying for us is that we can afford to buy food for everyone and we know how much food to buy. I do not want to end up short and I do not want to end up with $500 in food in the trash. The big benefit for you guys is this....
AT THE DOOR: $20 per person
Why so much more you say? Because. Expenses rise when you have to run out in the middle of an event to dig up food for 100 people that didn't prepay but expect food. We can't guarantee you food if you don't prepay but knowing me and my crew we'll bend over backwards to take care of you... meaning 2 of my guys will have to leave the event to go buy more food. Accurate head count helps EVERYONE. And secondly... this is a charity event. ALL profits go to charity. So that extra $10 will not just be going in my pocket.
You also do not get the free raffle ticket and other free stuff I dig up to give the prepays... In essence.... you prepay... you save yourself $13 and you save us some stress.
FOOD:
Standard BBQ. Burgers. Veggie Patties and probably another Veggie option. Dogs. Water. Soda. Cookies. Chips. Basics. Nothing crazy. We will have 3 eat times to be announced. Your wrist bands will tell you when to eat.
VEHICLE PARKING and PARK COSTS:
We can not help these. We are using state parks and they have their own fees. We can not roll all costs together with the size and style of BAM.
PARK ENTRY: $5 per car
DOGS: $2 per dog
Yes you can bring your dogs. If you've got a non-animal and human friendly dog please leave them at home. This is paid to the park system at the gate. Not to us.
CHARITY:
Jacob’s Heart Foundation. They do great work and we're very happy to partner with them once again. Since myself and my crew took over BAM we've made the charity a major focus. We've increased our donation every year to date and we're really hoping to do it once again. 2 years ago it was $7000. Last year it was $9700. Lets break that $10k wall!

Prepay cost:
$15 for shirts.
$35 for hoodies.
Event prices. $20/$40
ALCOHOL:
We do have an alcohol permit. What this means is that if you are over 21 years old, and can prove it you can bring beer or wine. NO HARD ALCOHOL PERIOD. All beer/wine must remain on the grass areas, not in the parking lot. If my security crew catches you in the parking lot expect us to say something. Rangers/Police will be coming through the event from time to time and if you get a ticket it's on you. If you get the event shut down I'll rain down hell fire on you. Try to keep it under the pavilions or on the grass between/around the pavilions.
Once again. 21 and over. On the grass. BEER AND WINE ONLY.
CAR SHOW:
Pay to play. Read the thread. Over 50 cars entered last year. Trophies and award plaques to winners. Jamo and I are gonna work on some cool trophies and we'll have some plaques once again. Mainly it's just bragging rights. There will be a separate thread for the show.
MISC:
This is a park. It's open to the public. If other people are around show them respect.
Don't drive like a moron and you won't have any issues. Do not mess around INSIDE the park. If I catch people doing anything retarded (donuts, etc) I will rain down hell fire on you. You will be removed from the bbq and it will be known on the forums EXACTLY who brought negative attention on this event.
Trash. PICK IT UP. We will have a crew but that doesn't mean you can be a slob. We must leave this place cleaner than we arrive.
I'll add more as we go. Please keep your comments on the positive.
Shade:
There isn't much. If you want some... bring some. If you bring a pop up it has to be set up on the grass. We can not block off or set up anything IN the parking lot. We're working on the vendor set up. I will be onsite in the next couple weeks to work on this.

This is where all prepays will go.
LAST NOTE: We are in the building stages of trust and respect with this park as a “Special Event”. We have to make it count so that next year, and following years, we can have bigger and bigger events and have a good rep with the park system. They remember us from last year, like really vividly, so they paid attention. They were happy with us last year, but didn’t expect such a big turn out. This year it was a lot of red tape, and paperwork, and negotiations… but it’s totally worth it because we will have a base for the future for quality annual meets.
Thanks to everyone for their patience, we really appreciate it. We do.
But now, lets get to work!!!
Post up questions here and I'll do my best to answer them.
