Do we want to negotiate a group rate at the same hotel?

Yes...I would book a room at a hotel if we did this.

EVERYONE will be able to enjoy this tailgate party!!! We are bringing video cameras, and will be posting the video online so everyone can enjoy. The video will be posted onto buffettphans.com, and accessable via buffettnews.com.
z is also willing to host any other tailgate videos created this year, so please make sure to take plenty of video and photos of your tailgate party's. They too could be hosted on buffettphans.com as a courtesy of...ME 8) .
The ultimate goal is to get JB to grab the video camera and video the audience from the stage. Since video cameras are not allowed, it's going to be a hard task to complete...but one of us parrotheads can get it done! I am in pursuit of that footage and a front row seat. So I am in hopes of representing our 2008 Charlotte BN Tailgate Party in the front row!!....so wish me luck.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BLOCK PARTY
Here is who we have committed to a block party at <b>Wingate Inn at Concord</b>:

<li></li> z-parrothead
<li></li> sunseeker
<li></li> PhnSC
<li></li> tallship38
<li></li> drunkin parrot (night of concert)
<li></li> Sanjuro's tequila


Our "2008 Year of Still Here Block Party"
Our goals are
1: to not get thrown out of the establishment
2: to not get banned from the establishment
3: to not have to bail any of our fellow BNers out of jail
4: To survive the party to see the show
5: To be mentioned on Radio Margaritaville

Let's pretend the date is in Raleigh and you can come up here!

Pretty much have the schedule cleared for 2008.

From the days of my misspent youth
I believe that down on the beach
Where the seagulls preach
Is where the Chinese buried the truth...
