It looks like we've got four confirmed teams and two maybes. Iuka Grogg (?) Doctor Z (?) martiki CheekyGirl PiPhiRo TikiHula I think that's enough teams to go forward with something. CheekyGirl, I really appreciate you help and enthusiasm with this. I like your ideas, but we're talking about two different things here. If you wanted to go forward with your plan, I say great- but you'll need to get Otto's (and the Tropics')OK on this because A) you're talking about a major event and B) because you'll want him to promote it in the materials and find a time to schedule it appropriately against other events. However, I have a feeling that this might be a little late in the game to spring something this size on Otto. I also think that the Tropics might not be too excited about an event that offers abundant low cost liquor and cuts into the profits of The Reef Bar. (I know, I know- everyone has booze in their rooms as it is, but this would be institutionalized). I also think you'll need more teams than there are above. Like I said, I envision a small, TC only event. Also, for an event on the scale I'm talking about, I don't want judges. Everyone's vote counts. Just a piece of paper, rate it one through ten, and put it in an envelope marked with the name of the drink. Then the drink with the highesst average score wins. I think all teams and anyone who tastes should be able to vote (except for teams voting for their own drink). All I need are pens, paper, envelopes, and dixie cups. And a "coalition of the willing". Again, we've got two different events here. If folks want to run with CheekyGirl's idea, that's great- no harm, no foul. It will be up to CheeekyGirl to handle how she fits. I'll still happily bring my ingredients and participate in mixing, but I gotta be honest: that's it for my commitment. I expect to be drunk for about 72 hours straight, and as I mentioned, my interest in event planning during this weekend is practically zilch. So Cheeky...everyone...what do you want to do? I'll happily go along either way. Just say the word. [ Edited by: martiki on 2004-04-19 16:25 ]
