      Just about three weeks to go! I picked up some goodies today and my package from Rockauto arrived yesterday. If you're even thinking of coming please add you name to the list in this thread.

        When is kind of the time to be there? I know there is no official start time, but when should we plan to arrive?

          The sort of official start time is 10:00am. I'll be there a little bit earlier than that.

            Two weeks to go!!!!! Long range forecast is calling for sunny skies and a high of 20şC/68şF.


            This is a shot taken from the top of "the Wedge" by my son while we were enjoying Westiva 2011!

            Looking forward to another great event.

              Here is a helpful guide about Canadians for Americans (and Mexicans too I suppose). My deep research leads me to believe all Canadians are exactly like this.

                Hey all,

                I randomly saw your ad on Kijiji. I am Calgary, and am driving home on July 16th (early). I could meet up somewhere along the way though if there are a bunch of you from BC driving out together.


                Let me know!

                  Only a few days to go now! A local radio station contacted me about Westiva this morning. The end result of that call is that I will be doing a live in studio interview tomorrow morning!!

                  Looks like we will have another relatively small meet... maybe only five of us, but we'll still have a great day!

                            Made it on the radio this morning! Click here.

                            A writer from one of our local daily papers heard the segment and contacted me. He's doing an article that should be in Friday's edition along with a couple of photos. As soon as I have a link I'll post that up too.

                                I listened to your interview, read the article and watched the video.
                                You did a great job Ian. Wish I could be there.
