well im glad that Scion is doing all these events but what really hurts them is that there are too many shows lined up all within a month, which hurts all the show turnouts. 4 me living here in NM I dont wanna see the Invasion show lose people wanting to attend because of the other shows but we all cant stop that. I too wanted to go to the Vagas meet but cash flow is a lot more for that than Invasion, plus I gotta represent my state!

Originally from the D&S region this meet was going to take place in May/June, but Scion wanted to step up and take part in this great community which is TOTALLY Awesome and please do not get any of use wrong about THAT. So we waited and waited and waited for what seemed like forever.
If you havent you can refer this thread from Feb to see the progress on this event

Seems to me that many peeps here just wanting to see something happen sooner. We were to believe May then June then July then August now October??? Business is business and we all know how corporations work. It is a slow long processa and it takes time to reach a consensus.
-The Scion Invasion event was announced in April and has been a staple event from the beginning for this region with the backing of Scion according to what we have read and heard here. And it two weeks before this Exprescion event.
- HIN PHX has been on the calendar since Jan of this year which is the week after Exprescion.
All this makes it really hard for the masses to attend or have the cash flow to make it all possible. While some can attend whatever they when they want. Having this many Top quality shows and events all so close together we will see how many will attend all of them. Good luck to all that go and I wil be thinking about whether attending myself. First inclination is to decline, but damn I love Vegas!!
I cant speak for everyone, this is just my.02

My sentiments are along the same lines, planning large events are tough and I can respect the business. I have to say that I am very disappointed in the decision and the overall handling of this event. I have some high reaching friends in Denver, I would normally never post this on an open forum and keep it to the PM.
This originated as a local event and started very early in the year to allow other SCION comminutes to participate. Due to events in/outside our region has now dictated the events schedule so far into the year. This has now become an inconvenience for a good number of our members which tops out at several hundred, and more so for our very active show cars who have to make hard decision on schedules and budgets.
I will be at SEMA also showing and likely participating at HIN in AZ. I will have to review my schedule and make the appropriate decision to participating.
I would hope that SCION looks at this “overall” process/events as a much larger issue that needs to be addressed internally.

One other thing that is frustrating is as you all have said, you guys started planning this back in February. I was not an owner at that time, but from talking to Mark at Camelback, he gave Scion a date that would be great for all the members here in D&S and Scion has seemed to have just ignored that. I can respect all that goes into scheduling these events, but to isolate the region that got things rolling is not nice. Guys and gals, please correct me if I am wrong. I want to try and understand this as much as possible.
Thanks

I just checked on Scionetics.com and there are 66 people on the roll call, I think we should show Scion how many people this is effecting by removing your name if you won't be able to go (I already have) I think that the nubers should speak for them selves.

Sorry for the date people. For those of you able to go I am sure you will have a great time. Please don't let the date fiasco be your reason for not attending. If you can't make it, you can't make it but, let's still show the rest of the Scion community as much of the energy we can and are known for.
Whether you're rolling to Scion Invasion, SEMA, HIN or Scion Exprescion I will see if we can't still give away the prizes we had. Let's work and turn this event into as positive a showing as we can.
Thanks!

guys guys... its been a long process of deciding for them and i am sure it was very hard to decide on this date. right now it is 3 months out still so there is plenty of time to save money to go. i will be trying to go to show my support. vegas this past weekend was so much fun and next time should be even more fun!!! i spoke with the denver regional manager saturday night at extreme autofest and he really tried to pick a good date and that was the best date available for what is being planned. they werent getting any help from the LA region either.
im sorry some of you feel the way you do but im sure it was very hard for them in making this decision. the denver regional said he would really like to see the support from our group especially so if you can you should definitely try to make this one. it is not even a car meet or anything. it is scion showing their appreciation for us and getting hotel discounts and renting out clubs for us to have fun and hang out.
i for one am still going to scion invasion still and would not back out of that but i will also be saving my pennies to attend the vegas trip as well. i think everyone here should try their hardest to make this one since scion worked so hard in putting it together and getting the date set.

oh yea and HIN being a factor in all this is ridiculous. its a local event for us and isnt like you need to spend a whole lot to go to that so why cant we all go to both vegas and HIN.

But, like Kelly said before, we're a big Scion community and I think we can end up showing well at Scion Invasion, HIN and the Vegas run. I can understand choosing SEMA over Scion Exprescion but most of us aren't going to SEMA.
I emailed everyone on the Vegas run roll call about the changes. Please update your plans to attend right away.

Here is the hotel they're working with:
Looks interesting but, I'm old and what would I know anyway!
Seems to me Attik is trying hard to do things right. Stay tuned.

being in the same hotel where rain is would be nice. that way if we went to that club then we wouldnt have to worry about driving or getting a cab... just stumble up to the room.

I have a few Q's.
1. Considering it's about a 5-6 hour drive to Vegas. Why are we waiting until 5:00pm on Saturday evening to leave?
2. How long is the event supposed to last? Some of us HAVE to be home for work on Monday morning.
Thanks

I hope the event is a good one, but I have decided that I wont be attending a Hip-hop show in Vegas.

I also won't be attending the Vegas Run or HIN. my brother in law is getting married on the 14th. So gotta save money for that. Too bad they didn't plan it in November instead. Maybe more people wouldv'e still be down on going. Bummer dude!

I will be attending the Vegas event, in support of our local members, Scionetics and SCION I have made the commitment to the event. Currently my schedule is doable, I will be attending the event.
Do we have a confirmed hotel location?
