jbear, you're just building up suspense for when you actually can make it to one. Check your email.

Steve: Please don't make me feel worse than I already do about this. Ever since last July I was counting on making it this year. As soon as the talk on here started, and it looked like it was gonna be at the same time as last year, I knew my goose was cooked.

A man who is driving a car is stopped by a police officer.
The Officer: "You were going at least 75 in a 55 zone." Man: "No sir, I was going 60." Wife: "Oh, Harry. You were going 80." Officer: "I'm also going to give you a ticket for your broken tail light." Man: "Broken tail light? I didn't know about a broken tail light!" Wife: "Oh Harry, you've known about that tail light for weeks." Officer: "I'm also going to give you a citation for not wearing your seat belt." Man: "Oh, I just took it off when you were walking up to the car." Wife: "Oh, Harry, you never wear your seat belt." Man turns to his wife and yells: "Shut your damn mouth!" Officer turns to the woman and asks, "Ma'am, does your husband talk to you this way all the time?" Wife: "No, only when he's drunk." |

A man pulls up to the curb and asks the policeman, "Can I park here?"
"No," says the cop. "What about all these other cars?" "They didn't ask!" |

Ok, Once a date is nailed down, we'll work on the application for the park. I agree, the park is to nice not to use if available.... Plus, it makes it easier for Hollywood to make those midnight cruises with the dollies !!

I agree with kevin, just need to make it a little clearer this time where to take the trailers and park then walk back.

Park was great cause we can pack the boats in, ramp there too. Park down the road at Moj's this time and walk back.
If there is no band playing you can actually use the whole lawn area. I think Deacon is big enough w/o a band on stage. |

Well, it's about a 1/2 mile down the Eastern side, but no it's completely land locked.. More I think about it, it's a bad idea, and there's no "facilities".. Back to the park ideas... Moj' |

I thought your place was half way down the lake? would there be water access/pier to tie up to as well?

Exactly,
We have an empty lot near us, and a neighbor with two empty, side by side lots behind us... Just a thought to keep the gathering in town, but give us more room... Moj' |

I little more insight as to where and what the alternate location would be might help a little. Do you have a place in mind already?

Parking, banner placement, cars in the park.. Not really for noise(the Chamber approved the band as long as they stopped by 10:00) Let's just say they were closely monitoring our group's activities.. If 07' looks to be as large of a turnout as expected, we'll have to take the location into consideration that's all.. Moj' |

Were the only issues with Barney the parking and noise?

Question:
What is there was a place where Barney Fife wouldn't be an issue, the band could play a little later on Sat night, plenty of parking, fire pit, grills, no liquor issues etc (it would just be off the water and away from downtown a few blocks) ??? Just a thought as a back up plan if Deacon Mills is unavailable or deemed to small... We will need to make a decision on location before the end of the year, so we can submit to the town our applications.. If we think parking is an issue of that Johnny-law is going to be a problem because Quinner and Brownie are going to wear bra's on their heads in the park again LMAO.. we may need to consider plan B.. What do you think?? Moj' |

No problem Joel keep coming with the suggestions. Keith added the "spin your own tunes" catagory, which added a third choice to my original questionaire. We certainly want everyone to have as great of a time that we had this year. I just wanted to really know if a band or DJ was prefered, so we can plan accordingly if so desired. I woundn't have asked if we were just going to have a CD player burn'n..
Thanks Moj'.. |

Ok, ok, easy... I thought I saw "bring your own tunes" somewhere. What I meant was, I don't think we should worry about having any formal provision of music (or food, for that matter) at the event. I think the raffle and boat contest along with T-shirts, venue planning, etc. is enough for the planning crew to worry about without food and music as well, just trying to help. My .02. |

Joel, the vote was actually whether we brought a DJ type guy in instead of a band. We can't have 20 different boom boxes going at the same time either.. The issues with the band is that it was blaz'n hot out there and the one guy I believe got sick.. Then Paul spent two nights not enjoying everyone elses conversations (as the drummer). and lastly a few of us spent a lot of our time helping to breakdown and move the equipment.. It was a lot of work for those guys to set up, especially in the heat and humidity, for only a few hours of enjoyment.. I wouldn't do it if I were them again!!. There is no way that town would allow a rock band in that park past 10:00pm. I think it would be cool for the younger mindset also to here some of their music and enjoy as well as us old rockers.. Anyway, there's my 2 cents. I know of a couple of kids that have enough equipment to put on a nice showing for all.. Moj' .. |

Then you have people bitching about who should play what music, more than one song being heard at one time.
rock out with your caulk out |

The only thing I have against the band idea is that not only does it draw unwanted attention (Johnny Law) but people feel an obligation to watch the band and chat less- if you bring your own tunes, I think it's less of a distraction.

I thought Deacon was a great spot, everything was right there including the hotel filled with women, bra-less and pantie-less I might add. We could try and take over that hotel across the street where we stayed perhaps. I would launch and park back at the hotel lot-no problem.
What about setting up a time Friday at one of those bigger parks, say from 2-4pm, for the "Trailer Queen Session", from there head to the launch and cruise the lake as a group, it was fun seeing the boats on the trailers, having a couple beers and just hanging out Friday afternoon before we hit the water. Oh yea, and Hollywood, let us not forget the Sweet Little Naughties found in the park Sat Night! |
