Great idea!

Our club = which club? Phindy? Or another?

Buffett Fest is going to be amazing!!! How cool that the Green Zone will be transformed to Margaritaville for a couple days!

This "our club" is from TX. I'm posting everything (on p.1 of this thread) that is being sent via BNers to keep Crash up to speed directly. Also, I'm emailing this list to PHINdy so they can combine this with their list (contributions from PHINdy, and others who have worked directly through PHINdy) so Crash has a complete list of what's on its way.

Again, great work everyone!!!

Thanks Kath! I was wondering if they were symbolic of something I wasn't familiar with.

No worries crash! We won't.

And feel free to pull back on our reins whenever you see fit!

crash_davis7 · Post by **crash_davis7** » August 28, 2005 12:01 am

I hope I didn't come off as sounding stern with my statement about the logo. I just want to make sure the logo is exclusive to the event. Afterward, maybe we can come up with an idea that would continue to help those here.

Crash - your point is well taken.

Based on your PM, I'll make sure you get a banner with the new logo...
