Mid-Sept. Buffettfest for US Troops in Baghdad

[Quiet and Shy]

I'm late on catching on to this . .

but . .anything , ANYTHING I can do . .count me in . .

awesome idea , Alison . .and great that you brought it to BN. .

now, let's see what all we, all together, can do . .

Thanks, girl. Keeping this up top is a great first step!

Okay, just got another idea....what about having the Parrotvision folks at Cincy (the next show) do an extra tape of Parrotheads greeting the troops and wishing them "Happy Buffettfest". Parrotvision obviously has the technology and people to do quick editing and it wouldn't take too much extra effort. Whaddya think?? (Ideal would be Indy show, since he's from the PHINdy club...but there wouldn't be shipping time. )

ahem . . .

MS FedEx , here . . repeating . . .ANYTHING I can do . .

What a Cool IDEA! What about asking Margaritaville Tequilla to provide some "Boat Drinks" for the celebration???

Not sure, but I think they'd have to be virgin boat drinks.... But maybe the new M'Ville non-alcoholic mixers would do.

Don't know what they can get imported, but my understanding is that it doesn't have to be a "dry" party. Hmmmmm..........makes me think that M'ville Tequila and Corona should be contacted about perhaps sending them some stuff (alcohol and/or promo items), as well.

Anybody with ideas on how to do that?? Thanks!

That would be a recent change then Alison ~ all they have been allowed is "near" beer

Thanks for the info. That is probably my misunderstanding. I guess the question had be whether Buffettesque things (that depicted alcohol) could be sent. The reply had made me assume that there weren't restrictions, and I guess I assumed that pertained to alcohol. I'm sure you're correct.

Now if it were to the Australian Defence Force - DIFFERENT story! (that is what tool boxes on trucks are for - to carry the beer!)

Good luck with it all!

I've forwarded that question...whether accelerated shipping routes (a al FedEx) could be used. If so...stay on standby....

This sounds GREAT!

How about a thread on BN dedicated to the unit(s) that will be attending the party...everyone could post their wishes, thanks, etc. and maybe your PH Club member could read the posts????

Neat idea!! I'll set one up...in the Parrothead Social Area (I guess)....and maybe a moderator could sticky-it so it can stay up top for a while???

BACK TO THE TOP!!!

Just got an email update and the Bagdad Buffettfest will now be in Mid-Sept (17th or 18th) to give some more prep time and to avoid conflict with other things that are going on that weekend. Also, it will be a "dry" (no alcohol) event.

This is an awesome idea. Can we start a BN Thread to send messages and thanks to the troops? We could get hundreds of posts to show our support!!!
Maybe even post some pictures of our support-ph style of course. And for those attending the Cincinatti show, they could add a little patriotic flair to their tailgate parties and send the pictures/videos across to the troops as a follow up. Wish I were going to Cincy to take part/lead by example

We could also do a toast to the troops and drink a cold one stateside in their honor

Also, 9/19 is National Talk Like a Pirate Day www.talklikeapirate.com It won't be anywhere as cool as Buffettfest, but yet another way to keep things light on the heels of Buffettfest


Hey Four Play, any chance the SOASOAPT can make a detour to Bagdad to rally the troops???

Sorry, got too excited and didn't read the whole thread. The first of many great efforts the BN crew will come up with to support this great cause.

Well the word has been passed on.... Good Luck!

Now if they could teach the Iraqis to talk like Pirates, now THAT I would like to see!

How soon does stuff need to be shipped to Iraq?

Maybe we could pool some money and buy a few shirts to give away.
