With the help of Patrick MINI I'm happy to announce the Chicago Italian Job Pre-Screening.

When: Starting at 4:30-5pm Thursday the 29th of May. We'll leave for the movie around 6:30pm.

Where: We'll meet at Patrick MINI in Schaumburg. After a little meet and greet with other owners we'll motor over to the Street's of Woodfield to watch the pre-screening around 7pm.

Who: This event is open to all Patrick MINI customers, all those on the Chicago MINI Motoring Club email list, or anyone willing to take a Thursday afternoon off and drive to Schaumburg IL. For those interested, to get on the Chicago MINI Motoring Club list simply email me with all your contact information and let me know if you can make this event. (The club is just starting up so at this point this is just an information list – no dues have yet been collected.)

Things to Bring: Money for your popcorn and Milk Duds, and all your best Mini apparel. If you don't have any MINI apparel yet I'm sure Patrick MINI will have something for you to consider or you can check out the Bridger.us/MINI products (all proceeds go to fund this site).

Again it'll be very important for you to let me know if you can make it as I'll need to give a final number to Patrick MINI fairly soon. Regarding the question of guests Patrick will let us know once they have a final count but it'll probably be okay to bring a guest.

I know that the 5pm meeting time will hamper some people's best efforts to make it but this event seems like it might be worth leaving work early for. Hope to see everyone there!
