Tiki Bar wrote:Out of curiousity, anyone know, or know where to find, approximately how many active parrothead club members there are?

http://www.phip.com/

This madness started with one club in Atlanta (founder, Scott Nickerson) and has blossomed to a network of over 200 clubs around the U.S. plus international clubs based in Canada, Europe, the Caribbean and Australia.

I meant people, not clubs. But if we guess 20 per club, that's 4,000 people, some who are BNers.

(Never mind me, just brainstorming)

The timeline that we're looking at for this happening is one to two years out. In that time the membership of this board is going to change a great deal. How are we going to factor that in?

Kathy my Idea was not to limit the Time factor of who had been at Bn how long..
My idea was to have ticket Buyers vouched for by BNers, two if Possible
as I said really How many of US have not met at least two of US??
that way we have tailgated,Phlocked, and MOTMed together before the BIG day!!!!


IE: I have met Island_Hopper
and ladyParrothead they Vouch for me
then You and I vouch for Polly_Rodger

ETC.. I know not perfect but another excuse to Meet not Meat BNers

Hmmm, interesting idea! I just brought up the other concern because so much had been made of having a cut off date. The original proposed date was 5/13/05 I think? Heck, even a year from now (let alone two), a lot of the folks here now might be gone (it happens) and we might have a whole lot of new cool people. So your idea has a lot of merit.

And I'd vouch for you, LPH, IH and TPR any day.

I see what you're saying, but...

I've met a long list, but I know guys like Cubbie haven't met any. I don't think you can factor in only BNers who have met other BNers.

great point I was going for something a little more Uh nice than
If not joined by this Date????


also to amend this a lot of us have Cubbys Addy and we Know he is not a scalper and this is my idea to slow the scalpers down

OK, so who is going to vouch for me?

A few more thoughts...

First, I think the venue would need to be in the East if not the N.E. because a large number of BN'ers are in that area, or close to it. And the ease of transporttation to the area from all other parts of the country.

Second, I think we need to shoot for the 5,000 seat number, no way we are going to get 10,000 people involved with out running into MAJOR problems. Trust me, 5,000 is going to be a nightmare anyway.

I spoke to Mrs. Port who has organized events for the public with over 5,000 people attending. She said you need to double whatever you think it's going to cost in order to cover yourself. Security is going to run into the tens of thousands alone and could exceed $100,000.

I'm not trying to be a party pooper but in order for this to happen I think we need accept that this is going to cost around $500 a ticket for about 3,500 lucky people. And that's with some charity.

As I said I'm trying to be a party pooper. I still want in at almost any price and we're willing to help as much as we can!

(1) Are there enough of you interested in a 2nd cookbook to round up 300 ADDITIONAL ones to DOUBLE the size . . . think about this before answering. . . we had a hard time coming up with 300.

SGH and SpringParrot went all out, as did my mom, and came through at the very last minute with the last 80 or so.

(2) And would ya'll spend $30 for one?

If the answer is YES to both questions, I'm willing to donate the time necessary to put it together. (Just don't tell Mr. Mojito what I'm up to.)

Someone PM me when a decision is made.

You know you have LOST your mind...don't you???
And of course, I will do anything you need to help you!!!

(and yes, I lost mine, too )

Hey, Mollers! We ARE nuts, you know that, right? Nutty as a phruitcake!!!!

Hey...that's a great name for a cookbook, doncha think?

party pooper = bad... rational, reasonable, realistic thoughts = good

Thanks for continued added voice of reason!

I have to agree. My experience has been the same, no matter how much you think it will cost it always comes out higher than the initial estimates. Looks like we could use her expertise!

You have met LPH right???

And I think After this summer you will be OK

If not you fall into the We know you are not a scalper..

Nice Christmas card

I also don't think Living_jimmy has met any af our Pirate crew
and I know of a few others but those pholks by and large can be
vouched for in other ways..

Like Tiki said, this isn't really logistical for all of us. I've been around here for two years and have yet to meet another BNer.
