AO MEGA-MEET discussion...

[FooTemps]

Ok,

If we are going to have a mega meet then we've gotta plan. We need to talk about what's going to be there, who will be volunteering to cover certain expenses, who has hookups for cheaper stuff, how we are going about setting this up, recommendations, setups, fundraisers, who's setting up shops, and maybe even contests & specials...

I'm not expecting Tom to take care of everything but I know that he will be taking care of at least half if this idea get through everything.

Anyone that would have a major interest in planning, contact me so we can get a team of organizers together to announce updates, makes polls on field setups, and other things.

Like I, and many others said in your last thread on the same subject, choose a major event and everything will already be set up. Why not make it the ShatnerBall event??? Sounds like a good one to me, and we can just join Toms team and play along side him and all the other AOers that will be there. Plus, it gives plenty of time to save money and everyone that goes will get a commemorative jearsy to remember the event by!! (Included in the $150 sign up fee on SPPLAT.com) I think that makes the most sense.

It makes sense and all but just think about it this way. If there was gonna be an article in a pb magazine on ShatnerBall it would have a quote like this.

"ShatnerBall had some weird automag turnout this year. Weird fluke, at least 1000 automag owners were there and it was close to half the amount of autococker and angel users! Seeing personal booths trying to compete with the WDP and Autcocker tents was halarious---" "---Looks like AGD is coming back in a "blast from the past" type of way."

Boy would that be a diss... Having our own exclusive MEET would be just cooler and would get more publicity than going as a huge mega-group to another scenario game. AGD's sales would go up if this was happening because it would cause some major hype.

If needed i can get good paint prices.
50 for warped sports Diablo Blaze gaurenteed fresh
50 for Team Colors

I could prolly get the Diablo cheaper if we got a bulk supply. Just offering some help.

[FooTemps]

Well, I like the offer and we would buy bulk if were going to do anything. The only problem is that we need to decide what we are doing. If we have our own MEGA-MEET then we buy paint. If we go to a normal scenario or private game we won't need the paint...

UP!

Foo, once again your being so unrealistic its funny. You can read my post on the other thread.

My thoughts on this....

It would be a great I dea if we could do it in the northern central us, so its about a even drive for every one. We should look into organizing groups of a particular state like north south and renting buses and driving that way. It is very cheap that way I believe it was 50 bucks a person if the bus has 40 or more, for a 7 day trip. That not bad at all, maybe we could look into a campground. If we can decide on a date we can work it out, maybe they can rent the whole thing to us for cheap. Prob. around 15 a night and it would be all ao users. This could work out great if planned well.

The only other thing I would say is 2002 is way out of the question, if we are going to do it 2003 or 2004 is better, depends who steps up to help. I will need time to plan everything(or someone else can do it) and make reservations. Sometime in April would be good not sure though, like maybe 2 days after Easter. It would be could for every on I hope, or before Easter when all the college kids have spring break. Most of us high schoolers can miss a few days, and most people should be able to get of work if we give them a few months advance warning. The question is WHERE would we do it, the place has to be able to hold a few hundred people maybe a thousand, who knows. The last question is what kind of paint, I was thinks something in the mid-level, like zap performance or big ball. I know that the companies have sponsored other things and paint was as cheap as 25 a case, if we could get that it would be great. I shall begin calling around just to get some pricing, we will need a few more dedicated people to help. I would like to hear toms opinion on this plan..more people to step up and help

Foo please....

Like Russ said, we admire your enthusiasm but come on, if 1,000+ mag owners showed up at Shatnerball, there would be an article about how we schooled everyone else and shot william shatner so much he had to go to the ER room to have the shell peices surgically removed.
