I am having a cookout for all my friends and friends soon to be that drive MINI's. Though I'm a DCMM member, this is a personal function and ALL MINI folk are welcome.

It'll be Saturday, July 23rd at 3453 Little Hunting Creek Drive in Alexandria VA. It's about a mile from Mt Vernon. I'm thinking starting around 2 p.m. and running till... Well the next days Sunday so who cares till when? Till the last person leaves.

I want my neighbors who laugh at my compulsive car washing to see that I'm not the only MINI nut out there.

No rain date needed as I've got a nice covered porch and rec room so we need not fear the weather.

I'll be doing burgers, dogs, and Brats on the grill and have bread and condiments. I'll ask folks to bring a dish to fill in from there.

I'll edit this as I plan further, but I expect for fun:
both the new and classic Italian Job movies to be screening inside, shooting a little pool,
Having a Dragon pictures slideshow running,
maybe swapping Dragon pics too? bring your CD and take one of mine?
and hopefully a MINI cooper slot car set up,
and whateve else I or you dream up 'tween no and then.

We can also have a car wash party out front like was planned last month-ish. We can probably get 6 MINIs in the driveway at a time. If you're nice I'll even let you try my Mr. Clean autodry car wash ;-) No well water!

Please reply here or email me so I can get a apoximate head count. I like bratwurst but don't want to eat them for a month.

If someone wants to brainstorm a drive in the area... Else, while it's not challenging or spirited the drive down the GW parkway from Oldtown Alexandria is very pretty.

=============================================
I'll post complete directions here soon. But to give you a idea, it's a mile and a half from Mt Vernon.
