Article: BimmerBoost FTW: MFest (Chris Naguit) to change the "unmovable" date for Mfest VII to not conflict with BimmerFest 2013

Look man, I've been. Let me tell you something. Vegas, it's awesome. Going to vegas and paying a penalty on top of it... well, you decide.

Mfest is fun, no doubt, how do you not have fun in Vegas? Is it designed to fill the owners pockets? You bet.

Well i'm in Vegas quite often since I live in LA so that's not really the main draw for me. What is confusing is that when i read on the Mfest forums they make it seem like the registration fee of 160 some odd dollars covers the entrance fee for the clubs, drag strip, and also pays for some raffle tickets. But when i read some of the info on here it seems like you still have to pay additional money for those things?

Then in reality there is no point.

I don't know where the money goes to what thing anymore honestly. It's money going toward a guy, that's all I know.

He saw the pressure mounting and realized he would be forcing vendors (aka $) to BimmerFest instead thereby hurting his revenue since people were not choosing him solely over BimmerFest and so he had no choice but to backtrack or forego dollars. And with this guy you can make a safe bet he will do whatever is necessary for the dollars.

That sure looks like the way it went down. There was alot of guys bailing on MFest over on the Board:

Damn:

So I've chosen not to go to MFest this year. I'm boycotting and protesting against the greed and ego-stroking, douchebaginess and the overall sliminess of the representatives of MFest. The truth is out and I don't want to be part of it. Those who still plan to attend MFest, by all means go, no judgement on my part.

Those who choose to attend Bimmerfest instead we can try to get organized for an early morning run, say Angeles Crest again, have breakfast at a nice place on Pasadena, and then hit the Rose Bowl. And you know me, a good lunch afterwards -I'm always thinking about food, darn!

Maybe we can start Bimmerfest at the other end in Upland and finish up in Tujunga which is closer to Pasadena.

It would be awesome if all the M5board members decide to skip MFest all together and stand up against the B.S. that Chris pulled against the community, and show him how strong and united this enthusiast community is and that we will not tolerate it. I know it's a pipe dream if all protested, but who knows.

Nicely put...

MFest is now on memorial day weekend.

Well that's better I guess...

Wonder why I didn't get my invitation yet?

[THATDONFC]

Why would anyone want to go to Las Vegas on that weekend? Especially if they're driving. It is going to be ridiculously packed out there.

I agree 100% but at least better than same weekend as BimmerFest.

[THATDONFC]

Yeah. I'm going to get Vegas out of the way in April.
