Had mine on the local news early in the day, then took it to a paid event to show it off.
Spent the rest of the day driving around enjoying seeing people happy to see the car.

None of the above. I drove it around and let people take pictures of/with it. None were at any events of any kind.

Yes, apologies. I dropped the ball with the lack of "drove it around" option, though I still maintain that this was an even in itself on BTTF day

I thought I would be really bummed being in China for this. When I woke up and started the day I thought "this isn't as bad as I thought." For those curious, no, no one here in China had any idea that it was Back to the Future day (though I'm sure it was huge in Japan). Only a handful of the people from the US even mentioned it. After the full day of work with minimal discussion about it, I actually felt like I hadn't missed much. Then I got home from work around 7:30pm (China time), meaning it was 7:30am Eastern time. Thats when it really hit. Being online from 7:30am onward, it got difficult. Seeing the western world explode with BTTF stuff, seeing my friends headed to interviews and driving their cars, reading about the parties or events I was missing, and thinking about the ways I could have spent the day had I been in Florida (I most certainly would have taken the day off work)... that was tough. I finally had to cut myself at 10:30pm (here, am there).
My hope is that the day will turn into one of the, "I remember where I was/I remember what I was doing when..." type days. Hopefully later on, thinking back that I was helping build a Disney park in Shanghai on Oct 21st 2015 will be cool. For now, I'm still pretty bummed about everything I feel like I missed out on. Plus I miss my car a lot.
Sorry to be a downer; it looks like it was an awesome day for so many people! I cannot believe how many people were on the news, on TV, on the radio, etc.! The DeLorean world is going crazy; hell my car blog got over 1000 hits today. Thats more than it gets most months, lol; I could probably count on 1 hand the number of times it's broken 100 in a day, haha. Some of the photos and videos coming out from all the events today look awesome!! Keep the photos and the stories coming!!

You know, it dawned on me yesterday, that seemingly everybody, every media organization, every PR company, had created some sort of tie in to the "day", with one noticeable exception
Universal Studios.
I'm surprised we haven't heard of some special event at their parks, or special release DVd or something.

We hosted the largest BTTF event in Colorado! It was crazy. Lines around the block.
