    Not a joke:

    If anyone has access to or a share in a private jet, or 3.5billion frequent flyer miles laying around that they aren't using....

    Sit around and wonder why I am asking until next week. Then send me a message.

    Are you gonna tell ‘em ahead of time or surprise ‘em when you pick ‘em up? The latter sounds like more fun!

    I had a similar theme in mind, so that all member know it's on. My personal favorite has been TSD's "Meet Me in St. Louis", hosted by the 30DC. Great minds think alike. Plus, there's a theme song for that.



    I mean, if Judy Garland approves, how can anyone say no?​

    Cool. Opening to all active members is the right way to go. The 30DC is a subset and not a faction.

    Can we have the group hug in Neal's store? It will give his employees something else to talk about after we leave.

    (Note to self: research mattress store pranks)

    We can cuddle together on a king sized bed if you like. Strike the group hug pose.

    Would you still be able to sell the mattress as new if it smelled of BBQ?

    I'd like to see us hit Pappy's at least once a day during the summit. I'll bring enough Rolaids and Gas-X for everyone.

    It's a floor model. As is. Half price. I can sell the BBQ scent as a new aid to relaxation and sleep - like lavender or coconut.

    UPDATE!!!!

    Momentum seems to be in favor of moving forward. The first two things I need as coordinator is a date and then a number of how many to plan for. Let's start with the date.

    I have modified the poll to allow for an "anytime" vote as well as an option of two months in case only one won't work. If you have already voted a particular month, that's cool. If you haven't voted yet I need you to do so. That way I can see how many will plan on it anytime, as well as those with specific months. If you need to change your vote that's cool. It will allow that.

    Once we get the votes tallied in a week or so I'll narrow down to a particular weekend. (or choices to vote on). The goal is to have a date by the end of January.

    Obviously family members are allowed, as are all members of The Shave Den. When the date is finalized I'll throw up another poll to let me know how many people. I'll go to work on accommodations at that point.

    As far as the weekend - I'm thinking have everyone arrive Friday - meet up that evening as a group, Saturday is fun day, Pappy's, BST, seminars, whatever we put together. If the chosen weekend has a Cards game we can talk about that further. If we feel that takes too much time we can skip it, or make it an option for those who want. Dinner Saturday night, breakfast Sunday, hang out until you need to leave and we'll call it a success. Thought? Opinions? Let me know. This is still early and not yet set in stone. This is the kind of stuff we need to know to keep moving forward.

    Also, please let @Bama Samurai or I know if you have frequent flier miles to share, or other options for cheap air travel. He posted that up earlier as well.

    I'm getting pretty fired up here guys. Setting up my system to work through this project which means it's semi-official.

    If bringing family or others, let us know. It affects catering and hotel block rates.

    I enjoy Casa de Garcia cigars. Inexpensive but good quality.
