Food is being provided...along with drinks. I am not sure if off the menu or what but I know it is taken care of. I just talked to John and it really has to be people that had e-mailed John and those people only!! Sorry everyone but there are going to be people from the club scene, other car clubs and other people too so it has to be a limited number. If you have questions call my cell 612-718-6488. Is anyone still planning on meeting at the dealership? If so please call me and let me know because I will be there if people want to be. Thanks for everything and I really hope everyone shows up. This could really mean big things for Scion around here if people come with ideas!!! Thanks!!

Focus Group Participation- Limited Space
I am glad everybody is excited about the discussion tomorrow. Due to limited space, I can only accommodate those individuals who received an email confirmation from me. Thanks for understanding. Thanks for you help. I am looking forward to it.

damn, that was fun. That tree huggin hippie that kept goin on and on about cars being bad....i wanted her to choke on the free food.
Great job scion reps at getting a diverse crowd in the room though. That b-girl thing would be a good event to go to. I think if you really wanted to get peoples attention. Take a turbo's xB with lots of work into the suspension and motor...out to a autocross. It would turn heads and surprise people. I've taken my car out on a ugh...track....ummm....and it cornered very very well.

I found myself triple-booked for the night.

It was a great idea but I think it was kinda lame how they asked us not to bring extra people like our girlfriends so a bunch of hippie college liberals could mooch off them.
Some of the hippies made some good points, but there was that one girl that just would not shut up.
"Oh, I hate America's love affair with the car. I hate how people can be recognized by what they drive."
If thats what you think than why did you show up to a focus group held by a car manufacturer!
