Oh! that is way cool!!! I would be willing to make them, but I have no time or creative ability! If we get a volunteer, it would be very awesome.....we could start a list from the Who's officially going.....

I will see what I can find at the craft store tonight...might not be as fancy, just a piece of paper type thing.......

I'm bidding now on a pair of tics on Ebay now. Will know tomorrow if we're going for sure.. If so we'd like to hook up with a few fellow BN folks... It'll be our first trip to Chi-town. We don't have the first clue as far as where to stay, where to go. Or really, where not to go, stay etc. Not being familiar with the area we will be at you'alls mercies... Hopefully I'll get the tics, saw him in Nashville this year and it was great. It was my wife's first, and she had such a great time she is now a major PH....

Well, good luck Grover! If you don't win them, really, you should come anyway. It's not hard to pick up tickets at the venue. There are always groups of people that sell off extras... I might have an extra lawn come the day of the show because a friend of mine might have to cancel...

Keep us updated and hope you make it!!

Hey all, have a great night.... I (unfortunately) have to go to work now, and I probably won't get off till 10 or 11 tonight... Everyone out there have a safe fun night..

I love the nametags!!!

If I could make them, Id volunteer...

So..If everyone brings a type of food/drink, and we get a grill, then for those of us showing up from work/morning flights/or just hungry will have phood, and you guys get a good start at the boozin up stuff, while I work on the sugar stuff...

I'm going to look into the nametags..might not be that fancy...just a plastic tag that you insert a piece of paper....I can print out tags for the people we know who are going for sure and make some blank ones also for the followers.....Matt, how many are on the list?

I counted 23 BNers

A lot of us are brining up other people, but that would be a lot of work to get all of the other names down..

We wil come up with something....(if not, I will let you know)

That and jello shots if we get time to make them.......Matt, I will make a few for you also

We won't be able to bring much for food because we will be traveling, but I think I can keep jello shots cool with my plug in refridgerator as long as it doesn't kill my car battery again! Damsel in distress!!!

It is getting closer!!! Two weeks from right about NOW, we will be on the road heading down!!! YAH!!!! Look out Bubba, here we come!!!!!!

We actually did that before! I think Elrod did it for us a couple years ago. I'm not all that talented in the arts or else, I would volunteer to make some...

I thought ETP and AB did that for all of us at INDY last year

ELROD made those. I was thinking the same thing too.
I have several lanyards that I got from Glenn (SITCrust-y). I thought I might see if we could use his BN/MSC logo and make some ID's. I don't have color in my printer right now, but maybe I could print a few at work and laminate them.

Posted: **August 8, 2003 3:17 pm**

that would be fine too.....

let's keep in touch with this and make a final decision once somebody does them, we don't want to be wearing like 6 tags all over our bodies! After all, we need our parrotphanelia clothing to stick out as well.....

I thought of lanyards as well, will that interfere with the leis though?

Oh know I am going to look pretty stupid here, but I just have to know for sure....

what does the MO in MOBN stand for?

I knew Elrod was resonsible somehow!

I have a color printer... I could even print them on labels!!! If someone creates the design and e-mails it to me in a word version, I can make nametags that way!!

The name tag idea is great! Will be a big help to break the ice I think. Two weeks from today we'll be there

Hooray! I sure hope that the week of work before the concert goes faster than the week before Alpine Valley did, that was pure torture
