Farewell to the XXX?

[Stu]

Appears that XXX Rootbeer closed its doors yesterday for good.  The article does indicate that it was sold on Nov 20, unstated whether the new owner will re-open or bulldoze it down.

Glad I went to the annual meet and eat this year!

As a new 2002 owner, I was looking forward to attending the annual meet. That sucks. Any ideas on if the meet will continue at a new location?

Bummer!

 

I'll commit to finding another event for us to rally to and coordinate getting the hoard to attend en mass.

What a drag, I always really enjoyed that event.  I hope it survives even if they no longer do car events.

 

James, any progress on getting your car fixed?

Yep, finally goes in for body and paint repair on 12/11. Hope to have it ready by the 02.02.02 show in February.

Speaking of; are we looking at 02/03/2024 again at alki beach for this? Thinking this year I might just head up a day early and relax

That would be my assumption.  It will be the subject of a separate thread soon, I'm sure.

Well, it appears that Burgermaster is taking over the XXX location!

I traded emails with the BMWCCA Seattle event folks who host the show and they're working on another option for the event. 

 

I'll report back when they settle on a location.

We're on for BMWs and Burgers at a new location. This just in from the BMWCCA:

The Club’s annual BMW and Burgers event is always great opportunity to connect with fellow Bimmer aficionados, and this year’s event promises to build on that tradition even more!
 
Mark your calendars for Saturday May 11 from noon to 3:00 pm for BMWs and Burgers at the Black Raven Taproom in Woodinville.  If you are thinking that we are adding another well-loved Bavarian specialty to the event—namely some finely crafted beers, then you would be correct.  In addition to Black Raven’s menu of finely crafted beers and panini sandwiches, The People's Burger  food truck will also be available for the event’s no host food and drink activity.  “Der Volksburger” is a regular for most all the events held at T-Mobile and Lumen stadiums, so you’ve likely already either smelled or tasted the deliciousness coming from this “Lastkraftwagen.”
 
As you may know, the XXX restaurant in Issaquah where we’ve held previous events is under new ownership and is not quite ready to host an event the size of BMW and Burgers.  Also, because May 11^th is part of Mother’s Day Weekend, all mothers attending will receive a special gift on behalf of the Club.
 
Admission is $5 (payable at the event) to park your BMW, and the event is open to both members and non-members.  Paid non-member attendees will receive one raffle ticket per vehicle while paid members will receive two raffle tickets and a discount on purchase of additional tickets.  Proceeds from the event will be donated to a local charity.
 
We’ll start parking cars at 11:30 am, which is 30 minutes prior to Black Raven’s noon opening time, so manage your bio-breaks as necessary as restrooms will not be available early.
 
See you there!
