M.A.D.M.E.N Odometer-Where we went in March
The MADMEN had a marvelous March.
We started off with MINIs and Munchkins at MINI of Tucson. The frosting on the doughnuts must have been different this time because sadly no MADMEN went home with a new car.
For Munchies we went marauding at Genghis Grill and no one left hungry because we do know how to pack the goodies into the bowl for optimum meal enjoyment.
Our Bisbee Weekend adventure was magnificent. We started off with breakfast at Omar’s TTT then cruised the back roads through Sonoita and Sierra Vista before arriving in Bisbee. After photo ops at the edge of Lavender Pit Mine we played tourist in town before regrouping for a sumptuous dinner at Café Roka. Sunday morning we were off to Douglas to the Art Car Museum where we got a personal tour from the founder, owner and art car artist himself, Harrod Blank. Then it was back to Bisbee for lunch for some of us and up to Tombstone and lunch for the rest of us.
Last Saturday Breakfast was at Seis Kitchen and Catering at Mercado San Agustin at the foot of Sentinel Peak (A Mountain). The food, service and atmosphere were great. One of the comments was that this should be “the place” to meet whenever we leave from the west side of Tucson for a run. Our run was just a short distance, up “A” Mountain, and the view of Tucson was rivaled by our herd of MINIs.
Coming up in April are MINIs and Munchkins April 5 at MINI of Tucson ,
My MINI Has the Munchies April 10 at Cody’s Beef and Beans.
Last Saturday Breakfast April 26 at Mays Counter (Bacon Bloody Mary anyone?)
DRP – March Cliff Notes
March was a pretty slow month for the DMC/DRP because everyone was getting ready & amped up for Southwest MINI Fest. We did kick off the month with a pie and all-you-can-eat BBQ meet up at Rock Springs Cafe. The weather was questionable but the food was delicious and the company was great as always.
Cars and Coffee was again hosted by MINI of Tempe and we met some new MINI friends as well as many old. This was followed up by a pot-luck style BBQ at a member’s house. Perfect weather and good times.
Sunday Sweets migrated to the West side at the Cheesecake Factory in Peoria. Spring training made everything pretty busy but it was delicious! The month ended with SWMF, over 250 people from 16 states came together in Tempe to mingle over MINIs. Pictures can be found at www.SWMiniFest.com/photo-sharing/. Many DRP members were in attendance and the event had a great response.
