MTTS is only days away! If you have missed it, MINI USA has provided a few updates via email. The latest one can be found here and it provides the latest updates and reminders, including a reminder to check out the checklist that includes everything (except the kitchen sink).
We’re really excited to get things started. Be sure to follow along on Twitter (@whiteroofradio) and Instagram (@whiteroofradio) for short updates and photos. We are still working out the details on video updates, but they will show up on Twitter!
Let’s do this!
GO FORTH. GO WEST. GO MINI.
Matt Nathanson to Join MINI Takes the States in LA
MTTS starts next week! As we continue to receive updates, we’ll keep sharing them! We’ve got more information about the headlining act in LA at the final stop of MTTS 2012 below. We discussed this during Woofcast 428, along with a few other things.
MINI TAKES THE STATES 2012 is ROCKIN’ IT COAST TO COAST.
MINI proudly confirms Matt Nathanson to headline our multi-talented, super bash at the MINI TAKES THE STATES 2012 LA WRAP Party. Join us and all lovers MINI and music at the legendary House of Blues on LA’s famous Sunset Blvd on Saturday July 14, 2012.
With hits like Wedding Dress, Faster, and the ever soulful, Come On Get Higher, Matt, with all his folksy rock energy and lyrical genius, is a perfect fit for our MTTS2012 finale! Since 1993, with his first studio album ”Please” and the 2011’s award winning “Modern Love,” Matt continues to push boundaries when he collaborated with acclaimed country music sensation Sugarland, for one show-stealing performance of “Run” at the 2011 CMA show.
To get the party started, we found music sensation Rozzi Crane to open for Matt. Rozzi, fresh off her mega contract signing with Maroon 5’s Adam Levine’s 222 Records, Rozzi will bring down the house with her explosive soulful voice and commanding charisma.
Dropping beats and spinning us through the night will be NYC native DJ Rell. Rell was home schooled in the house of funk, soul and Motown and soon scratched his way to the Scratch DJ Academy in LA. DJ Rell will work his magic in-between sets and keep the crowd jumpin’ and bumpin’ all night long.
Join MINI TAKES THE STATES 2012 as we Rally this coast-to-coast-rock-a-thon with great bands in city stops Charlotte, Nashville, Chicago, Des Moines, Boulder, Albuquerque and of course, LA!
We come. We party. We rock and roll our way across the highways we like to call the open road.
GO FORTH. GO WEST. GO MINI.
Woofcast #428
It’s event season under the White Roof gang! For you tonight we have some prime stuff from AMVIV 9 during the pool party. You should have been there! Grand Pobah Jules has completed her write with links to tons of photos here. New window when you click, so no excuses!
We also get to interview Michael Johnston one more time about what he plans for MTTS. If you are a cyclist or a runner, you are going to want to check it out! he will be riding 10 miles on 4 different days and running a 5k in LA. Full details on the MTTS Home page. You also want to keep an eye on the Clubs & Dealers page since that will be shaping up all the way until the event starts! Lots of cool stuff, especially if you are in Northern California.
Todd and I will be going all the way. Will you? Will you at least be going as far as Chicago? If so, could we interest you in a little White Roof Radio Live? With Gabe, Nathaniel, Chad, Todd and I? You know you want it. More details to follow as soon as possible!

A MINI Vacation in Vegas #9 – The Photos
Another AMVIV is in the books and it was pretty amazing as it usually is! Todd and I, along with Nathaniel, even managed to record some interviews and other great things for White Roof Radio that I can’t wait for you to hear! You can also expect our full recap during Woofcast 428.
Overall it was a fantastic weekend! All of our friends were there and we managed to make some new ones. Sure attendance was down to prior years, but the people I wanted to see and hang out with were there, and that’s what makes AMVIV so great.
I did take my camera and have posted all of the photos in my AMVIV 9 collection on Flickr. I have narrowed that down to my favorites in the AMVIV 9 gallery over at dbmini.us.
More to follow. Stay tuned!
Woofcast #427
In case you missed it, AMVIV starts this week! We give you a complete preview of what’s happening at this year’s event after I school Todd on desert weather (it’s going to be nice, really!) and we help you out when it comes time to purchase previously owned MINI with help of the MotoringFile.com R50/R53 Buyers Guide and our man Chad Miller.
Oh, and db is riding the dunk tank at AMVIV. I expect a lot of you to come by! It’s for a good cause, after all.
