ForumFest II

GWC... · 08-03-2005, 10:29 PM

If you meet at Lees Mills on the 10th, you can also take in the beginning of Steamboat Week, as per the following link:

http://www.berrypondmotel.com/events.cfm

P.S.- Don't forget to let off a little steam while there.

Outlaw · 08-03-2005, 11:58 PM

How about if we raise money this year to support the maintenance of the Live Cams we have that haven't been updated (or whatever needs to be done with them to maintain them) in awhile. Like Snake Eyes, Weirs Channel, The Weirs Cams, or whichever ones are in desperate need of attention. Some of them look like they are in need of assistance based on the quality of the pictures and the down time they have suffered. I'm sure Don and the folks who help with monitoring the cams can let us know which ones are in the greatest need of help.

I know I love to look at these in the summer as well as the winter. Get some great shots.

What do you think???

Sounds, errr, looks good to me.

Either that or it's the new server fund ....

Skip · 08-04-2005, 07:28 PM

....count me in too, for the post-gathering activities as well

And its never too soon to start planning for the snowmobile gathering on the Lake we were never able to firm up last season....I have a new sno-checked machine arriving sometime in September and I'll be cranking the miles out on her this upcoming season...would love to have a get-together on the Lake sometime this winter!

BroadHopper · 08-04-2005, 08:20 PM

Sounds good to me.

I can go to the Hampton seafood fest the next day.

Maybe we can raffle of some of those Winipesaukee thongs!!!!!!!

mcdude · 08-04-2005, 08:44 PM

to everyone .... but esp. Pepper (since she asked),
What time works for you? I'm thinking 3ish or 4ish....after a day of boating but before dinner? Who else is dropping in to say hi?
How about a contest! Everyone guess how many people will show up in a winnipesaukee.com thong?
(I'M ONLY KIDDING!)

Pepper · 08-04-2005, 09:46 PM

3ish works great!

Ok Yah -- now this is what I call way Way WAY too much time on your hands (to create this graphic). Good work though. Any rules on how you have to wear this thing / thong..???

3ish works good. I'm there for the after party party.

I wasn't going to touch Outaw's "I'll be there with spurs on" yesterday but when added to this one.

After seeing what Outlaw looks like at last years fest. Outlaw in spurs and a Thong!!

I just couldn't help myself this time.

I am going to be in the area the week before. have to take Ma's dock and boat out. But I guess I can come up again the next weekend. Mrs ToW would love to make the trip anyway.

The thong is for real and you can order them here. I added it as kind of a joke, after checking with my wife to see if she thought it was appropriate. I've actually sold about 20 of them.

Who's wearing them? We can only guess.

I dunno -- looks a little uncomfortable to me. I'm not ordering one -- no matter how many people request a picture.

TOW -- you slay me. I'm LOL on this one. I guess what I wrote is a classic example of not thinking when writing. But, just so I'm not underdressed, I think I'll sport an urban cowboy hat as well. Looking forward to seeing you there.

Merrymeeting · 08-10-2005, 08:28 AM

Ok, I have a request for ForumFest III. Please either have it on a Sunday, before Labor Day, or on a Saturday when it doesn't conflict with a BC football home game!

I just realized that for the second time I'll need to miss the get together because of the BC conflict.

Just so you don't think I'm that football crazed...I'm lucky enough to have a nice cushy job keeping stats for the home games. So skipping a game is not an option for me.

Outlaw, I was like a kid in a free candy shop, I just couldn't pass up the opportunity.

However, I think the Hat will be the perfect way to,,,, Top off the outfit.

Looking forward to seeing you

and the others again this year.

mcdude · 08-10-2005, 04:15 PM

Merrymeeting: I just threw out 9/10 to keep the discussion going. Is there a BC home game on 9/17? Would the 17th work better than the 10th? Where is RattlesnakeGirl when we need her??? Do we need another poll?

Perhaps instead of fund-raising we should simply have a 10th Anniversary Party?

Nametags or incognito?

BroadHopper · 08-10-2005, 04:31 PM

Let's have a forumfest one weekend and a 10th anniversary party another weekend. That way people who couldn't make it one weekend can make it the other! Of course, those who can make both, can count their blessings!!!!

The poll suggests that any date after Labor day is preffered so I guess it could be the 10'th or the 17'th, whichever works for most people. Might I suggest that for the others who wanted/needed a pre-Labor day date we do a FmG/Anniversary party sometime in Aug ? That way those who aren't around post LD can make 1 gathering.

I also say name tags but no way I'm sticking one on the thong.

Last year we did the raffle thingee, should we have an event (assuming it's not another fund raising raffle) this year as well ? Sounds like it's time for another meeting of the ex-post-fatto planning committee

Depending on when the ex-post-fatto meeting is, count me in.

The raffle idea was a success last year. You looked way cool in the hat! I've got a great thong, I mean thing for a raffle idea.

Hmmm, can anyone (everyone is invited) do lunch @ Shibleys in Alton Bay this Sat, 8/13, between 1pm and 3 pm ? Usually there are slips available after the normal lunch rush and certainly car parking isn't an issue. A plus is that anyone staying for the band (7-9 pm) or fireworks (9:20 pm) will already be in the area. We can take over, errr, sit out on their deck over the bay. Of course if it's too hot, the bar over @ JP China is air conditioned and the MaiTai's are fierce

Who, if anyone, is in ?

BroadHopper · 08-11-2005, 11:54 AM

Unfortunately I'm invited to a pig roast at one of the McMansions.
However the band sounds good. Is this at Shibley's?

The band plays in the bandstand next to Shibleys as part of the Alton Old Home Days festival. See http://www.winnipesaukee.com/forums/...ead.php?t=2332.

I forgot the boat show would be tying up the town docks until noon. I dunno if that will help or hurt the post noon slip availability. I guess I can offer some anchorage/rafting for a few boats and a car ride should it be needed.

From the dearth of replies I surmise everyone is otherwise occupied this weekend (that or scared off by those craft show people). Perhaps we'll try again next Sat.

I guess this went over like a .... so said Keith Moon to Jimmy Page.

Possibly next Saturday, this weekend I have the M-in Law up

don't think I can get away. I usually work on weekends, but next Saturday I should be done by noon (I'll be in Moultonborough until noon).

Rattlesnake Gal · 08-17-2005, 11:03 AM

I think it's official.

According to the poll, ForumFest II will be held Saturday, September 10th at 3:00 pm at Cate Park in Wolfeboro.

For those who cannot make it on the 10th, name a time a place for another informal gathering.

OK then does anyone want to discuss things FFII related (the ostensible reason) this Sat over a brew or 2 at either Shibley's (or JP China in Alton Bay), say 1 pm or so ? If yes then respond here.
