JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted September 12, 2005 Posted September 12, 2005 Looking for feedback on this year's event. Some of my thoughts: a) YOU GUYS ROCK! b) @Danny's - I liked having the room, but felt it might've caused some people to miss us. Perhaps some signs might've helped there. c) This was definitely the most organized of the 6. I don't know that the wrist bands added much, but the registration desk, PA/Announcements, and raffle all were great. Many thanks to Hammer, who always goes above and beyond. My thanks also to Jack and Cindy for their superb efforts. Thanks also to our lovely ticket girls - the best ever!!! Huge thanks and congrats to Tyrone for coming up big for Hurricane Katrina relief with his $225 bid for the autographed Kelly Houston Gamblers jersey. Well done, my friend! Finally thanks to EVERYONE for making the event better and better every year, and for making this place what it is. 364 days and counting to Tailgate 7!
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted September 12, 2005 Posted September 12, 2005 Had a blast as usual.... I'm not sure about the whole collecting for water and such. I'd rather see the money for the gate help go to defray the cost of the tent, PA system, etc. Thanks once again to everyone whose hard work made this possible. As one of the few who's made every one, they just keep getting better and better!

The "gate" fee, as well as all $ from the raffles, 50/50, etc., covers all party expenses. After all those are paid whatever's left goes to the server fund as well as charitable causes.
cåblelady Posted September 12, 2005 Posted September 12, 2005 It was AWESOME !! Only bad thing was I didn't get to see Buddy this year. Hammer kept him in the house.
Hammered a Lot Posted September 12, 2005 Posted September 12, 2005 It was AWESOME !! Only bad thing was I didn't get to see Buddy this year. Hammer kept him in the house. Not True!! Buddy was out and about on the "Get'In A Lot" side of Abbott Road. We just did not want him to cross a very busy Abbott Road.
34-78-83 Posted September 12, 2005 Posted September 12, 2005 My father and I had a very good time there pre-game. It was nice to put faces to aliases, and we especially enjoyed Big T's barbeque chicken recipe
rockpile Posted September 12, 2005 Posted September 12, 2005 a) You ROCK, too Jay! b) I asked where the TBD party was at the door and they pointed to the room. A sign would not hurt, but all you had to do was ask someone. It was easy for me since I recognize so many. c) The party room could have used a TV. It seemed that a lot of us eventually wandered from the party room to the bar to watch college ball. We DID have a great party out there too, so maybe it is best to leave things alone. d) GREAT TAILGATE! Thanks to all those who organized everything. It felt like a family reunion.

Thank You to all who came and supported Hammer's Lot. It is truely a pleasure to host such a nice group of people. Concerning the raffle girls, all I can say is their mom must be smoking hot because they sure did not get their looks from Rockpile!

Like A Mofo Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 The tailgate gets a grade of A+ from me! Was great to meet a lot of wallers on Sunday, lots of great people on this board! Really enjoyed the auction for the Jim Kelly jersey with the money going towards Hurricane Katrina, that was a great idea. Wings from Rich and CNJBBB were top notch!!!!!

Finally thanks to EVERYONE for making the event better and better every year, and for making this place what it is. 364 days and counting to Tailgate 7! 436998[/snapback] Just cut-and-paste this, then add your name to the list of people to thank, and you've got my feedback. Thanks for saving me some typing. Like Rock says, this isn't a tailgate - it's a family reunion. (Okay, maybe one wacky family, but still ...) Even though I make it to all the games, THIS is the one I look forward to all offseason. Thanks for a great weekend, everyone!
BILLS4LIFE Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 It was cool! The Skins and beer were good! The food was good. Did I say the beer was good? The PA System was a very nice addition this year. The shirts are awesome! Thank you,Cindy! Too bad there wasnt a TV in the Banquet room as I was trying to get caught up on the race,but no worries. Sorry I got there so late,but thanks to Steve and Lisa for their hospitality! Thanks to Rich and Lisa for letting me tag with them after Dannys. Another GREAT time! Sorry Rich. *HIDE* Thanks to Harriet for everything! Thanks to Jay and Rockpile for the tix. Got to meet some newbies,too.
LewPort71 Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 The tailgate was great... Many thanks to Jay, Cindy, Hammer,,etc..... Like BILLS$LIFE said, the portable microphone system was a great addition... Kudos to Bill in Livonia and Pat for their sausages and hot dogs and their home made wine .... Can't wait 'til next year... HAPPY BIRTHDAY to SDS too !!!!
