I need some ideas and people that will make them happen (BAM X)

Hey all,


I need some ideas as to fun things to do for this mother meet... 06 was REALLY fun with the slip and slide, jousting, etc...

Here's a video made by Subydude
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZA0974tiUa8 (dont mind teh gay, or the gay singing ogre)


The year after is when we outgrew the Hammy site, but that was a good year too...

The year after was held in fremont and was very little ( in terms of turn out, those still fun, I made the video for that one). Here it is:


BAM 9 was probably one of the best years, thanks to our vendors!!!


Lets make BAM X like BAM 6 but better!!!


Ideas?

It needs to be in the bay this year, every time it's BAM time you pick some place in the placer where the weather is crazy hot. Do a beach theam BAM, lots of state beaches have huge parking lots!

^ I would support the beach idea, but the event would be too public. Unless someone goes the night before and ropes off an entire parking lot, I'm thinking we won't get to have an exclusive Subie lot :\ Plus, weekend + beach = ****load of families.

Can we rent an inflatable playground with those giant slides?

Slip n slide sounds like a good idea to bring back... its going to be really hot!

I saw some people playing football on the fields last year. What if we did something in the fields, like capture the flag or I dunno... dodgeball? :P Just throwing ideas out there..

I think Dan said he wants to have it later this year like in Sept, so its not as hot (as July or Aug).

A giant Capture the flag game, teams based on cars just for kicks. the slip n slide sounds good. my neighbor does astro jump rentals so i think we could get it a bit cheaper.

Yeah, 95-03 vs. 04-10/11 subies, actually. i think it would be cool, unless teams were really uneven.

all beaches are on state land and you can rent the space, I can think of many spots that have the space for over 300 cars! The state is broke and loves to rent land out

It would be better if it were pre-WRX Subarus and post-WRX Subarus.

Sounds like a plan. Haha. And yeah, pre-WRX vs post-WRX would be cool as well.

Rodeo beach in the north bay has huge parking lots, facilities, etc. and would probably rent space. Plus, it's a super fun (albeit short) drive from 101 to there.
