I sent the letter. I will follow up with a phone call next week. I negotiate for a living. I agree, hpm, the worst case scenario is someone saying no. The best case scenario can't be achieved without asking.

Ya never know chili. They might hire French hit men to come and take you out, just for asking.

What, are they going to beat him to death with baguettes?

Isn't that bad enough? Maybe they could pummel him with stupid labor laws....

Of course, the best way to get rid of a French assassin is to tell him to surrender...

Hey chili-
I hit up Food Network via e-mail.
They are based in Knoxville-OLN may be also,,I might know someone to "host"-if a production crew will come. I'm sure we can find inside shelter & a few pack mules.
References for the host are easy to come by.

WalkingDude, Evergreen, Radagast.. The invoice for Charit Creek Lodge was $761.04. It got paid based on us raising nearly $600 in donations, and the last $150 came out of my pocket. We asked everyone to consider donating $15 so that we could not have to share the site of Tc2 with anyone.

I will gladly take checks from anyone wanting to contribute. No, it is not a requirement. Hope this helps clarify what you missed.

JoshMan -- I heard yesterday that we have secured another prize sponsor. It's a outfitter in Cincy that not only is coming to demo, but also is donating all these Crazy Creek chairs, Nalgene bottles, and stuff! Awesome ehh?.. We are gonna have some great prizes this year.

You are in charge of the A/V,it will give Miss Opie more to carry.

This could be an MTV reality TV show, kinda like road rulz, or that new sorority one. All we need now are young hot chicks.

How 'bout 'Live Nude Girls'?
Father Goose
10:59:05 PM

i think a few crisp 20's and the false promise of illegal drugs and you could drag every stripper away from the local hole...fulfilling your "live nude girls" request!

The public television stations in Tennessee collectively produce a program called "Tennessee Crossroads" that features events across the state.

They tape the event, edit and air at a later date. This is probably the best bet to obtain coverage.

OPIE, I'm guessing we don't really want to see the girls from the local there near the BSF...

...and another thing, have you guys forgotten that this soiree is taking place in December?





We'll have to get them really drunk before they'll strip outside in weather like that...

the butterscotch pudding is going to be warmed up, don't worry.

yeah, i was wondering what December in TN is like, too...

It really wasn't all that cold last year. I don't think it got below freezing, did it?

December in Tennessee is like a roll of the dice. You never quite know what will come up.

In Knoxville, I can rember it being anywhere zero to the 70's in early December.

This gives the average Hi and Lo.

Yes, it is highly variable, thus we have no idea what it will be like. Yet another of the advantages to living in the South, shorts outside on Christmas Day. Or snow parkas. Take your pick.

That area of Tennessee is more likely to see snow than where I live, though. Knoxville's weather history is probably a pretty good indicator of what it will be like.

It's official
your are all banned from this event...I'm the only one not banned, so, by default...I win all the cool prizes and gear.

Tapioca is tasty though.
