here is a kicker...the gift bag may actually be the carry on luggage we all got...
i left the event...thinking that if scion was intending to give us rings, they would make good on it by mailing them later.
when i got home i heard a lot of speculation and questioning about them. i emailed the folks at beyond about the rings and who was supposed to get one...
the reply i got (from Jason) was the rings were for the club presidents (the ones specially picked by the two bigger clubs).
now, the difficulties come in...not all the club presidents (of the two bigger clubs) got one...half of the club presidents at the DT got one...other club presidents were at Loews and did not get one...
all i am interested in doing is finding out what their intent was, and if they are going to follow through with it.
those of you who are satisfied with everything that happend, you do not need to post. we know you are happy with the trip by your posts in other topics.
this topic is only about the ring and its' details....
keep this on topic.

If they were for CHAPTER presidents then they would have been out a lot more money.
I think the only way any of this makes sense was the people that stayed at the cheaper hotel got the ring, period.

I agree about the hotel/ring thing. It does make sense and nice of them to sort of "make up" for being a block away from the action and the nicer hotel accommodations.
My "greedy" and "ungrateful" self still takes a big breath of anticipation when opening up the mailbox though, lol.

OK guys, I am on this. I don't think it is at all greedy to want to know the story behind the rings. Now, if you get all ____y because a mistake was made somewhere you should then feel terrible. I am going to see what I can dig up.
