Happy Birthday Fatman!!

[FatMan]

FM...can you at least get him to talk about it? I've called an emailed him with no response...voice mail allthe way...dead emails. I dont want to try to start something else until I know he's dead, but I don't want to wait forever.

Anything you want to tell him you can tell him here - he sees it, he knows.
As far as getting him to talk, he'll talk when he's ready to, and there's nothing
I can do to change that.

My guess is if you decided to start a new event in the south he'd just let you do
that. Probably put the issue to rest.

But I can't speak for him (and I don't, BTW).

Phil
will give his left nut for you all - he's just that kind of guy. But between getting screwed by
the resaurant last year (a place he and June frequented at least twice a week) and then the
attitudes of certain key peoples has just taken the drive out of him. I think he WANTS to do
it for you guys, the players, but there is more involved, and I've said too much already.

Phil can keep his left nut. I have 2 already!

THe restaurant was no big thing. We all still had fun! How did they screw him?

As for attitudes, other then the Josh incident, what else happened? I heard nothing but praise for the phenominal event he put on.

Also as for committing, We will all paypal him money in advance, just like last year!

Please please please!!!!

I appreciate the humor, but no joking, sometimes I don't think you guys understand the depth of feeling the
guy has. I'm not accusing anyone of being ungrateful, but I think it is something that you all should at least
be aware of. Every year he has spent many 10's of hours of his time and several 100's of his personal
dollars to make the event go - and he doesn't get anything for it. He's not selling anything. He just likes
to see everyone have a good time..

As for attitudes and incidents and commitments and getting screwed - I'm not going to go into details or
name names on the boards. For one thing it would just piss him off. All I can say is its not you guys.

But I'll talk to him.
