You can swing by starbucks for validation...get some coffee for the late night.

I wonder how many wrist bands we can get for others? It specifies that only two are provided for the san fran portion...

I believe this is true.

I did get a call back on my cell.

Because your car is a Noble, not a Lotus or Ferrari or Lambo.

I am pretty sure many Lambos and Ferraris got rejected as well (read Gallardo, F430, 360), unless it's Enzo or F50, or Murci LPs...

The Hollywood display event was a mess - cars told to get there between 5 & 6PM and then display cars were not allowed in until 7PM, no one knew what was going on etc etc. Then to crown it all off, at the end of the night they refused us entry to the party (even though we had the correct display wristbands) under the pretense the event was "overcrowded" (this was 15 minutes after the party started). So if you go to the SD event don't be surprised when you can't get into the party .....

All round it was a waste of time

Good to know.

Sort of the same deal here..

Said to be there at 9:30 AM and the gumballers would show up at 2 PM. Well, I was standing around with two others cars until about noon. At 6 PM the gumballers actually showed up. Some little blonde british twit kept trying to tell us where we could and could not be. The original communication said we could get in another person to the party with a wrist band, but it ended up being just yourself. So I went and started collecting wrist bands.

Good to know that my decision not to participate in this type of show was paid off. I knew some sh!t like this would happen.

Lets hear what others would say

Yeah that last minute change about the wristbands was ridiculous, but despite that on the inside the party was out of this world. Got to meet a bunch of amazing people, made some new friends, and once inside the bottle service area people were just offering us drinks left and right.

Truly a night to remember

gameson · 08-13-2008, 02:59 PM

Open bar?

prodigy · 08-14-2008, 10:09 AM

I wish...beers were 5 bucks, drinks were 13. Like I said though once inside the bottle service area random people were offering us drinks so it all worked out in the end
