Ok y'all..here comes my long post from the weekend!
First, NONE of this would've been possible without Jill allowing us to use the lot for parking again this year. She's the real MVP of the show, so HUGE thanks to her!
Josh D D Johnson, Madhu Nair, Steve Dale & the rest of my Mazda homies for giving me the opportunity to do this again for you guys this year!
Second, with all the moving parts, trucks showing up either to park, or for shoots, Michael LoCascio was my "big" voice helping to get everyone & everything where it needed to go. Honestly, I probably would've walked away Thursday afternoon when we got back from lunch, and a gazillion of y'all showed up at once & scattered..thank you for that, babe LOL!
The Nissan and Mazda shoots went off without a hitch, other than the last minute location change up, moving it to Ghost Town. We had 25 (I think it was) Nissan's and 55 MAZDA'S that showed up in full force, lined all the way back out onto Soco Rd!!! Chris St. Amand almost made me cry, after putting in 4 STRAIGHT DAYS of work on his truck just to make it here, and Kelly Garner Mills for having my back when I wasn't there to defend myself, and lastly Nick Minitruckin Edwards (Dirty Dan) for making a special guest appearance. π€£π€£
Can't thank the rest of y'all enough, or tell you how much I appreciate each one of you taking the time out of your weekend to be a part of this, it was incredible!
As far as the week(end) was concerned, I got to cruise with Kari Jean & Brandy Wilson to take pics, sat on the curb watching those gorgeous trucks driving by, and of course met SOOO many of y'all.
Now it's time for me to go into hibernation, and get through these SD cards, MAYYYBE even get Pickles approval on her photo!!???! βΊοΈπ©·
Love to all!
