FWIW I compiled a list of who's coming and who's not. Since we're definitely a go this year I don't think it's all that important but here it is nonetheless. Secondly Broadhopper asked what we'll do if it rains. We should probably hash this out but I think last year it was "we'll decide what to do a few days ahead of time should the forecast be bad" and it seemed likely that we could duck into Garwoods should we need to. I was surprised by how many showed up last year and this year is at least the same # so perhaps we need to think more on this.
Thirdly have we decided on some activity for this year's event ? Are we looking to raise some $$'s ... or should people come dressed in some lakes region or forum motif ... or just show up ? One thought that crossed my mind was the everyone (or couple or group) bring something lake or forum related to give away. Then we have a drawing and everyone gets a keepsake to bring home. Similiar to the raffle idea but different. Just a thought....
And most importantly
are we calling this years FFII simply the 10'th Anniversary Party (sounds good) or do we have a subtitle (ala a bad scary movie) like last year's
Grant's Gathering ? Could it be (you had fair warning this was going to happen
) Broadhopper's blowout, gh's getogether, JS's Soiree, mcdude's mess, RG's rendezvous, Skip's shindig, ToW's turnout, uppy's union, warren's wingding or Yes Dear's diversion ? Or on a bunch-o-people theme; DRH's droves, Gilly's gang, Outlaw's oodles or Pepper's posse
Sure I have others but y'all get the idea. BTW that was the list of people (add us 2 in + SO's for some of the above) answering "I'll be there". I'm not sure about; Al, Skipper of the Sea Que, GTO, GWC, dpg, Sandy Beach, jkjoshuatree and restaranteer (are you as smart as you are sassy
). Definite no's are; Grant, Lady Di, frdexplorer, merrymeeting and Chris Exley.
