It says build week of 25 Aug and pickup as early as 22 Sep. Is it safe for me to make flight reservations to get there 22 Sep, or should I wait for them to confirm that date?

Then book tix.

Sounds like they added a couple extra weeks to the formula...must be busy.

Phone, email (individual and Ed special) always worked for me.

Maybe they're moving to the new HQ?

why it's called Oktoberfest in September but I would book a hotel room ASAP before you make flight arrangements. You can always cancel the room. We made reservations for the 2nd week in October.

My note said the same thing as yours. I've emailed Kathy Bis, and she confirmed that I can safely book tickets to pick up the car on OR after that date.

I've book tickets for an arrival on Sept. 23rd. Plan on picking up the S5 that very morning. Maybe I'll see you up there?
