good list. There will be plenty of room for the generator/tv/etc, but you guys have been down there before, i dont know if its needed or wanted there.

I would say skip the DJ stuff (might get us killed after a few beers). I don’t think it would go over well with folks down south. Let’s do the dish (EAST), Generator and gas (WEST) and TV (EAST). Sound ok?

Now, I’ve got some problems with your little Daytona list there Mr. Frank. Who will be bringing Double Trouble? I want revenge!

Also, you forgot 2005 GNP DVD packs for everyone at your superbowl party (GNP West)

Kork- I knew the DVD production was a major undertaking and I didn’t want to put any pressure on you. The highlight of the SB gathering will be the GNP halftime video. I’m not sure how you are going to fit all of this year’s craziness in 30 minutes but I am loking forward to it.

ok logistical question- how will GNP west be getting the supplies? i was thinking maybe the super bowl party. However, the Juiceman will not have his truck down from albany bc hes taking the train, so ill prob be driving and i wont be able to fit everything, like the tent. Everything else i can fit- cooler, etc. So if worse comes to worse, we still have 1 tent here, the marination station tent which is in very good shape.

OK Kork, first thing - excellent job on the new videos section!! Maybe next season we could have the previous weeks video automatically pop up and start playing on the home page. Just a thought.
Second thing - ATA’s new site will be up on 2/1. Did we ever get any video over to them?
Third thing - I don’t think Double Trouble is a good idea for Daytona. You have to remember that we will be drinking for about 15 hours. The major difference here is that you bring your own cooler full of fairly priced beer into the race, therefore you do not place a monetary value on each sip and you tend to drink more.

I was thinking the SB party as well. If your tent is ok let’s use yours. We would be handing over:
1) TV,dish,tv wires,boxes
2) cooler (unless you guys have a large cooler already)
3) GNP Banner
4) Boy Scout Box.
As long as you guys can fit that stuff we are good to go.
Maybe we just bring double trouble for a photo op but as Scott mentions since you bring your own beer in we will be drinking for like 14 hours. No rush to get destroyed. You make the call.

sounds good. The only cooler we got that i know of is the white square one i usually bring to the games. Ill prob bring that also just because its there.
