Official - Who and WTH to Bring, 3rd Annual S-B.com Too Friekin Cold to Fish Nite

[JohnR]

Here is the whooze coming and what to bring thread for the THIRD Annual “Striped-Bass.com Too Friekin’ Cold to Fish Nite” slated for Saturday Night February 26th. For those that don't know, the Too Friekin Cold to Fish Nite is an awesome party / fundraiser that keeps the site open and free. We did it last year and it was a true blast by all that participated. It also kept the site up and running with no annoying popup ads and . Door tickets and Raffle table proceeds from that on night go a LONG way to run the site for most of a year (thanks again for that ). It's also a great way to reduce the cabin fever that has a death grip on many that will come late winter.

What we do: we have a hall in Fairhaven, Ma already reserved (Thanks Jim for reserving the date, I got the deposit in!) that is across the street from a Holiday Inn (highly recommended - not for crature comforts but for a short stumble to serenades of Peanut Butter Toes by R.M. - you had to be there I guess). We have edged around 100 people each year and can probably sneak another 20 or so (still below the capacity for the hall which I think is 177 or something when dining). And of course, do to Massachucettes General Law something or other, smoking will take place outside.

What we do is try to get people to bring a dinner dish, desert, an appetizer, or condiments / paper & plastic (forks & knives). Scuttlebutt right now has the workings of a possible food contest too.

We set up a buffet style and let people, well, buffet...

For rooms at the Holiday Inn - I will contact them this week and see if there is a again a package discount rate for rooms.

The Bar is adjacent to the hall so drinks are available if anyone wants to imbibe.

Entertainment is being worked on as we speak and I hope to have details on this soon. I am also open to (honest) suggestions for the entertainment.

We will have a raffle table - hopefully as good or better than last year (and that was awesome!)

I open this to the floor - should tickets will be like the last two years, $10 single or per legit couple (significant others, not fishin' buddies ) ?

I also want to come up with an annual prize / award of some sort for a worty site MEMBER - it can be goofy, funny, or serious - I am open to suggestions - do not mention any names (victims) at this time. Once we decide what kind of award, we will have a SILENT poll.

So whose going and what will you bring? Suggestions? Comments?

1) Me & the Bride a/k/a TheBetterHalf - will bring Cuttyhunk Terryaki Shepards Pie & Chicken Pot Pie
