The Leaky Tiki tub is cleaned up like new and ready for the next adventure.
No jello shot cups in the filter this year, I think that's a first. Slackers

I went to see Vicki in the rehab hospital today. It's a pretty neat place and they keep the patients active so they can go home and resume their lives. She was in a wheelchair when I got there and she stayed sitting up the whole time. I printed off a 5x7 of the picture that Mango Bulldog sent me, an...

The slideshow DVD's are not for sale, they are free for everyone who registered for the tailgate (one copy per address we have on file). The creator will make one master copy for me, I'll make copies for the distributors, and they will send out to the people that are assigned to them. Same goes for ...

Thank you for buying it in the first place and donating it to the cause - that was way cool of you!

Mango Bulldog bought Vicki's front row seat in the silent auction. He emailed me this picture from her seat to give to Vicki. Thank you Des!

Thanks to everyone for the continued support and good times this year. The results are in! We ended up with 417 people, and right now the total for charity is at $9,000. Given the smaller size, I'm especially proud of the $9k total because it represents everyone doing their part to make the party a ...

I'm off to the marina to wash the boat for Sunday. How many people are up for the Flying Saucer?

The hot tub trailer is loaded down and ready to roll tomorrow morning.

Busy day all around. Just about everything is on the hot tub trailer that needs to go, and Pharmboy says the horse trailer is just about ready too. It looks like the Yukon will be pretty well loaded down on Friday night, so I may not be able to take that many people to Fox Sports after all. The ustr...

So everyone knows, we're still selling wristbands via Paypal. If you pay for them I'll put them in an envelope with your name on it marked as paid. You can pick it up from me at Fox Sports on Friday, or at the sales table at the tailgate on Saturday. Print your receipt and bring it in case there are...

I went and saw Vicki today (Tuesday). There are no promises but she is gaining strength, and they are still talking about maybe letting her go to the tailgate. Don't give up on her yet.

Dear Virgins, Here are some tips for you. Get to the parking lot EARLY! Be sure to wear something you can get wet in! Don't forget your tickets, you will probably not make it back to your hotel before the concert. Put an extra set of clothes in your car in case you want or need to change. Bring sun...

Tropicalfever and I went to get all of the adapters for the fire hose today. He's bringing a spray nozzle for the fire hose and a 16ft pool, which is an upgrade from last year. Thank you Rusty! [smilie=superkewl.gif] I'll probably bring the water slide, and I'll have a misting system set up around a...

Speaking of Duckett, I got a nametag for him today - thanks Al!

For the record, thank you martyritaville - what a guy!

We talked about doing a virtual silent auction last year or the year before, but decided against it. It's a good idea, but it would take a lot of extra work to monitor all of the bids and I'm not sure how much extra money it would really bring. Let's keep it to a live auction again this year.

Vicki just posted in the Hands Around Parrothead Land thread all by herself - way to go Vicki!

I went to the hospital again today. I wanted to make sure that Vicki and her niece could log onto the hospital's networkm and use Skype and Ustream ok. Macklyn and I helped Vicki sit up and put the computer on her tray. Vicki turned it on, logged onto the wireless network, and logged onto Skype all ...

I just sent the Friday update email, as a BCC from the PTM gmail account since Yahoo doesn't like me sending to so many addresses.
