What is it you plan or usually do at your tailgates? I am exploring a Shot Luge and building a portable Tiki Bar. What do you and your PHriends do to amuse yourselves? I'm looking for ideas as I will be entertaining 12 people.

My current plans involve bringing sand to pour our personal island and beanbags, a bubble gun, a supersoaker of tequila, Lots of beachballs . . .

I don't necessarly have any "new" ideas for you but I do want to know if you have a BN wristband and how we can find you!!!

Any crowd interactive games? I saw a group hosting a limbo contest . . . for ladies only. After each successful pass they were rewarded with tequila. The winner got beads. It was fun to watch anyway.

There was Jimmy Buffett/Coral Reefer trivia goin on at the bandstand at Orlando and tshirts were being handed out for correct answers... If you want to do something that doesn't require physical activity... Props to Tom for answering almost every question right and giving away all his t-shirts!

I am looking into the wristband actually. I do have the Lanyard.

I will figure out a way to beacon those interested . . . would a blow-up doll float if filled with helium?

My wife sat me down at dinner Monday after we'd secured our tickets and already warned me of the behavior this planning brings out of me. She warns me about going over the top but its the over the top that makes it so fun!

Me and my sister have started to lay down some stuff for the Chicago trip. We're probably gonna stay somewhere downtown and I know the Cubbies will be a destination at some point in the trip. Can't wait!!!

Yea chances are I'll be at Wrigley on Friday. I'm looking at flight and hotel combos on Expedia right now for it so I'll probably have everything book and set this evening.

It's really too bad the Sox are out of town that weekend. I feel bad for all of you parrottheads helping fund the Cubs new outrageously priced payroll.

Back to Buffett!

When can one expect Coral Reefers to announce dates at surrounding venues? I wanted to see Mac last year but was busy.

Who's going (Your Screen Name) gingerbreadman + magnus & mr moon
How many people in your party 2
Where you will be sitting Sec 205 row PP seats 7-8
Where you will be staying made reservations for Hampton Inn by Midway -- we stayed there before - nice place & not too far if driving. I figure if you have to drive, 3 miles is not different than 10 or 12.

Any other fun activities you will be doing (like the Cubs game) Probably go see our good friends in Manhattan...

IL Of course!
