BINGS '09 Wrap-up / Discussion Thread

buddy, do you understand what you’ve been reading in this thread so far?

it’s like paying rent to your landlord…but instead only for one day. if you can’t pay your landlord’s rent, your landlord will eventually kick you out because someone else will be able to afford it.

now replace ‘you’ with ‘son240’, ‘your landlord’ with ‘the restaurant’, and ‘someone else’ with ‘the restaurant’s customers’.

there’s no profiting here in terms of organizing and running the meet.

by the way, thanks bing for holding the meet again…first time coming, was pretty busy so i ended up arriving near the end. definitely don’t see meets like this too often. pre-reg for food and minimum # of pre-reg before meet happens sounds like a good plan for next time…but that means planning would have to start much earlier obviously.

one idea for the cruise and people getting lost is maybe if someone is willing to volunteer and make a distinctive turn sign…maybe someone can drive the route a bit earlier than the cruise and stake one here and there wherever there’s a turn…not sure how many signs this adds up to but it could be an alternative to making maps and giving them to everyone…

someone at the end of the cruise can then just follow at the end and quickly collect them all, throw them in the back of a pickup or something and you can give these away at the no frills meet if you want afterwards for ‘something to take home’
