Big thanks to Deutsch, Scheides, Spaz, Matt D, and Madan for coming to the Whirlyball meet. With only six of us playing, it costed a little more per person, but we had a ton of court time and everyone had a blast!
On another note..... One of the reasons I put on this Whirlyball meet and things like my Open house back in October to hopefully jump start the Mitsu community. It seems like its basically on life support and only getting worse. The All Mitsu Cookout numbers have been pathetic the last two years, and over half of the people that said they were coming to the Whirlyball meet flaked out.
You can all say you are just too busy for this or that. I know its a juggling match for your time. But the bottom line is if you are not coming to car events its because it isn't as important to you as other things in life. I've been putting on local Mitsu events since 1998. Long before anyone reading this was a Mitsu enthusiast. And I must say, the local community is in the worst shape that I've ever seen it.
This Spring I'm going to make a couple more attempts to jump start things, and hopefully things will change. But if things don't make a turn around, there probably won't be another All Mitsu Cookout and eventually I'll give up trying. And I really don't want to do that. It would be nice to see some more activity from all our local clubs. (EVOMN, Mitsustyle, MN 3/S)
