in reply to: 2007 signups #52659
Though we might not be there yet, or for a while, it is healthy for us to discuss different ways of looking at things.
The lottery would be for peaks. Everyone is welcome to sign-up. You could sub-divide the lottery. Group A peaks (hard), and so one Group D (easy).
The idea or thought behind a “lottery” type system addresses some points.
1. Particpants are signing up for the event and not necessarily for the peak. Although there is nothing wrong with that.
2. There would be an element of anticipation, that could help with PR, word of mouth, and community. Have a period of a couple weeks, months…then the big day.
3. It would be more fair. Yes, first come, first serve is fair to a degree, but it does favor people that already know, the “fast-fingers” and those lucky enough to be at a computer at that time.
4. It may better serve us with coverage…although the event is doing great with that.
Again…who knows….
At some point I was bored and tossed the idea out there…I think if we ever reach a “tipping” point with the number of people involved, we will need to do something…
Until then…keep the ideas coming.
Peace.

in reply to: Pre-POST Event Gathering #52522I am going to say there is no charge for people just stopping by.
At various times (Event/Planning Meeting)people have just stopped by and it has not been an issue.
I am not to worried about it. If it does become an issue I will address it with KOA at that time and take care of it.
Peace.
in reply to: Pre-POST Event Gathering #52527I will be there both nights, probably arrive Friday around 4:00pm.
MA “add more wood” GIC, you are in charge of the fire. Please practice!! Also, don’t forget the clock this time!
Peace.
in reply to: 2006 Planning Weekend/Gathering #52026I’m going to be up around 3:00pm. If I don’t get out soon I will start to take hostages. 😉
Peace.
in reply to: 2006 Planning Weekend/Gathering #52010Chris,Chris,Chris….
Ye of little logistical faith. 😉
I reconfirmed with Darlene (via phone) less than 15 minutes ago.
We are all set.
We have the island. $9.00 per person (reduced rate). Check in and pay when you get there. Mention you are with the flags event.
Chris, I confirmed you have site #17 for the camper as well.
Chris, I think in her note, Darlene wanted to know if you wanted a tent site (island) in addition to site #17.
All is well in Flagdom.
Peace.
On a similar…but different manner. Anyone have anyway of putting a “FOT48” letterhead together for us? I would like to put something together (Thank you letter) for Broken Branch and frame it.
Peace part II

Leaving: never!See everyone there.
in reply to: 2006 Post Event Gathering Thoughts #52179As I get more psyched up for this year’s event I thought I might jot down some thoughts. I hope we can discuss this at the planning meeting as well.
I am with Magic on this one. I believe having Broken Branch as the place for folks to gather after the event is the way to go.
1. Since it is a saturday event this year, more people would be inclined to stay over IMHO.
2. Easy logistics. We have used this place several times now and it is a neat location.
3. Make it BYOB/Food, but have some grills available.
4. Make it the “official” gathering spot. By that I mean, limit people’s options and we will get a bigger turnout. Obviously, people will go where they wish, hell, I might even pop in at the INN for a quick beer, but if people know far in advance, this is where most people will be…it will work out.
5. Tent Poles. The more people…the more options I have if I forget my tent poles….again. 😳
Much like sports radio…you gotta love “Flag” talk.
Happy Patriot’s Day.
in reply to: 2006 Planning Weekend/Gathering #51999I confirmed with KOA today that our group is more than welcome to stay there again. I told them that we will be there Saturday, May 20. I plan on being up there the Friday before.
We once again, will be tenting at the “island”, off to the right, if you are facing the office. Please pay when you get there and mention that you are with the Flags event.
If possible, please bring some firewood if you have it, don’t worry if you don’t. I think bring your own food worked well last year and folks were more than happy to share as well.
Magic, my dog Jackson hole is anxious to see Ghostdog again and please do not worry about it…they are best friends. Also, I have set aside 9 hours to at least attempt to give you a game in chess.
Cal–I have ordered a gavel to help you with your faciltation duties. 😆
Can’t wait.
in reply to: Mooseland Grill destroyed by fire #52059Jim–
Good point.
I wouldn’t want to press Broken branch either….but they do have the capacity…I’ve seen wedding receptions there…plus they are really on board with FOT48.
But you are right…great topic for the planning meeting. You should bring a gavel this time. 😉 😉
in reply to: Mooseland Grill destroyed by fire #52054Magic–
I am hoping we have a big turnout for that Saturday at Broken Branch.
Although I love meeting at a bar/food after a hike…I think making the campsite the place for everyone to meet-up is the way to go.
People that do walk-ups/trams/drives, etc.. might even volunteer to head up a grill crew for everyone in advance. I know my wife and friends might be interested in this.
Either way Magic…you are going down in chess my friend!! :flag:
in reply to: Flags on the 48 film #51950I think I mentioned this……but here it goes again.
My wife and I live in a unique area. We have a lodge that can accommodate up to 60-90 people for a nice size premiere (home-style).
We live at the Ponkapoag Outdoor Center and SilentCal & Magic can attest to the outdoorsy feel just a few minutes from Boston (Blue Hills).
I would like to see a late Sunday afternoon or night…but we are always flexible. Saturday Night sleep over, w/a x-country ski the next day?
Again…just let us know.
Jay & terri
in reply to: Thank You mail #51916I took care of the KOA letter.
Peace.
in reply to: Early Report on the Documentary #51792Just putting it out there.
If there is going to be a “premier” of the documentary I will hopefully be there no matter where/when.
If there is interest, my wife and I are willing to host a premier for folks in the Boston area. Plenty of room in the lodge (100-125) and perhaps it can be turned into a Saturday get-together type of event, we have plenty of room for tenting. Magic, Cal, and MJ can probably attest to that. Pot luck dinner? Chance to hang out?
Again, I know it’s down the road a bit, but thought I’d put it out there.
Plus, I need to kick Magic’s A** again in chess!! 😉
Peace.
