RonFez.Net Winter Carnival Party 2009

[underdog]

Again, I agree that they're fun and I love seeing everyone.

I'm just saying I can't go in good conscience and I'll be elsewhere in the city that night.

If Hitler threw the greatest Christmas parties every year but then started exterminating people I wouldn't say "Who cares who is throwing the party? It's a great time!"

Just my feelings.

You just compared justjon to hitler.

I'm framing you up. It will be my underdog collection.

I took the first picture for your collection :

[Gmann]

Tis the season.....

[JohnCharles]

$35 is cheap. does that include the VIP bracelet, either way Im in:smoke::drunk:

It sure does!

[JerseyRich]

I hope there's going to be Thai Lads at this party.

[mikeyboy]

I hope there's going to be Thai Lads at this party.

There will, but they're young looking ones who are actually over 18 for legal reasons.

[JohnCharles]

I hope there's going to be Thai Lads at this party.

That's about the only reason I plan on attending.

[JerseyRich]

ok...I'm not torn anymore.

[spankyfrank]

I really hope JustJon goes all Caligula and starts beheading people during happy hour.

[Furtherman]

That is horse hockey.

Sorry, Bri...but that's nonsense. Do you really think we wouldn't have put something together if he didn't like to us over a month ago?

I don't know the details. What I do know is that Jon secured a good sized joint (bigger than most .net parties, although I was not at the Xmas one last year) for a good price in NYC when every day in December, most large bars are booked for Xmas parties. Which, by the way, are making a big comeback this year as opposed to last year's cutting down.

I don't know if someone else could have booked this - I know I couldn't, and I know people who own bars. It's not easy during the holiday season.

We should just be glad we'll have a place to meet up and have some good times and listen to marc and hammer claim they know more about the Real World than .... hmmm... where on the UES?

[mikeyboy]

I really hope JustJon goes all Caligula and starts beheading people during happy hour.

I hope not, or I'm going to look really foolish.

I can like 85% guarantee that no one will be exterminated at the rf.net party.

[GregoryJoseph]

I was not at the Xmas one last year

You weren't???

Then who is this guy standing next to me...?

i cant possibly imagine him remembering. rare form that night further.

[spankyfrank]

I guess MLC planned this one with JustJon.

It has the same effect as the last party planned by MLC.

[hammersavage]

this.


I'm just gonna be wherever missy is. so she can hate me to my face.

Ok. I am to blame this years catastrophe on you.

Dammit Mikey!!!!!!!

You Blithering Idiot What were you thinking!!!!!

[disneyspy]

its cool with me that rhino and i have to travel halfway across the country to meet each other cuz milwaukee is filled with communists

[JohnCharles]

works for me.

Don't forget about the empty envelopes either.

[zildjian361]

Yep, it's that time of the year again, where we drink, be merry, and cause a ruckus! This year, it will be...

9pm till they kick us out
at The Yard (formerly Porky's NYC) - http://porkysnyc.com/
55 W 21st Street, by the corner of 6th Ave in NYC

This year's drink special is $35 for all you can drink Top Shelf from 9pm-12am. This includes any any beers they carry as well as the liquor. Buying a bracelet is not mandatory, but you do get access to the "VIP Area" in the back of the bar (I was told it fits up to 100 ppl, but may get tight with that many people back there) and can skip any lines that may be outside the bar when you arrive. If you do not buy a bracelet, you will not have access to that area.

Looking forward to seeing you all there!

I'm blaming those on Jon.

Ooops.

I thought the Brooklyn one was last year, and that was a different party.



Maybe I should just stay home.

[Hottub]

I'm blaming those on Jon.

Hey!!!

[mikeyboy]

Hey!!!

the other one

[spankyfrank]

the other one

The better one :innocent:

[underdog]

Are the bartenders here going to be better than the bartenders at Dave's 2nd baby shower?

[IMSlacker]

What happened to Mojo's. No Cupcake Party Of Disappointment And Tears? Is that still on?

[~Katja~]

yeah, I was kind of half kidding but that's a great name.

I love how in the UK everyone celebrates Christmas because it has zero religious meaning to it. My wife's family is Jewish British and they have always celebrated Christmas. It' a national holiday, too, for the same reason.
hell, the east german communist celebrated it too and e had 3 days off with it.

[biggirl]

I am reading correctly? No greggypoo after I travel 18.5 hours to see him? DAMMIT!!!!!!!! I knew Christmas was going to treat me poorly this year.

[~Katja~]

Again, I agree that they're fun and I love seeing everyone.

I'm just saying I can't go in good conscience and I'll be elsewhere in the city that night.

Just my feelings.
way to compare this party (or Jon) with Hitler and his actions... you are already turning into a grudgety old man, I am scared of our future a few decades from now.

[RhinoinMN]

Is that when you two plan to marry?

[~Katja~]

You guys can have fun at your .Net or Greg party.
I'll be at Tall-Fellows...
are you saying we are not driving in together this time?

[RhinoinMN]

First Greg said if Ron doesn't go he won't go. Now Ron said he is going and Greg won't go.

He just didn't want to go in the first place.

[iSpider]

are you saying we are not driving in together this time?

Which party are you going to...?

[RhinoinMN]

The pants party.

[JohnCharles]

First Greg said if Ron doesn't go he won't go. Now Ron said he is going and Greg won't go.

He just didn't want to go in the first place.

We should be the first ones in the place.

There is an image of our drunkenness that we need to keep up.

[~Katja~]

Which party are you going to...?
the one with the people that party and buy me free drinks on their wristbands

[Misteriosa]

the one with the people that party and buy me free drinks on their wristbands

ohh! me too!

[~Katja~]

First Greg said if Ron doesn't go he won't go. Now Ron said he is going and Greg won't go.

He just didn't want to go in the first place.
I think Greg is just miserable cause he is still congested... a quick rinse with his neti pot should clear things up

[underdog]

Me and my friends were basically the first ones at Dave's shower, other than Dave.

[GregoryJoseph]

I haven't had so much as a sniffle in 2 years!

GOD BLESS THE NETI POT!!!

[~Katja~]

ohh! me too!
good plan!

[iSpider]

the one with the people that party and buy me free drinks on their wristbands

ohh! me too!

That sounds great.
Unfortunately I have a penis...

Not a difficult task.

[underdog]

How's this going to work, anyway? Is there going to be a one drink limit if you have the wristband?

[RhinoinMN]

I haven't had so much as a sniffle in 2 years!

GOD BLESS THE NETI POT!!!

Try it on the ass. It is even better.

[~Katja~]

I haven't had so much as a sniffle in 2 years!

GOD BLESS THE NETI POT!!!
then maybe you should get some laxative... something has ya all grudgety and angry for no good reason.

[GregoryJoseph]

then maybe you should get some laxative... something has ya all grudgety and angry for no good reason.

I'm not angry at all.

Everyone else is.

I merely stated that I wouldn't be attending and gave the reason why.

Trust me - there's no "hidden agenda" or "anger."

I swear.

[hammersavage]

ohh! me too!

:bye:

[~Katja~]

How's this going to work, anyway? Is there going to be a one drink limit if you have the wristband?
I am guessing that you can walk up to any bar and order and just show the wrist band and it's paid for. In addition there may be waitresses walking around taking orders.

[Stankfoot]

How about we call it "Ron and Fez Fans First Annual Holiday/Winter Party" ?

How about the "RonFez.net Fuck Twitter Party"?

[GregoryJoseph]

How about the "RonFez.net Fuck Twitter Party"?

BETTER!!!

[~Katja~]

I'm not angry at all.

Trust me - there's no "hidden agenda" or "anger."

I swear.
yes but YOU are putting people in a position to chose because of YOUR silly reasons.
Your reasons make little sense to anyone BUT you, so you expect people to think and feel the way you do. You usually see the brighter side of life and live for happiness and balance. Why are you throwing other people's balance off like this?

[RhinoinMN]

I'm not angry at all.

Everyone else is.

I'm not angry, just sad.

[JohnCharles]

I am the same as I always am...

apathetic.

[mikeyboy]

I'm gassy

[JohnCharles]

I'm gassy

There is a thread for that, envelope.

[Annie Waits]

I'm not angry, just sad.

you know I was sad when Lenny told me we couldn't go to the x-mas party because he's working....but this thread is now making me feel so much better!!

[GregoryJoseph]

you expect people to think and feel the way you do.

No I don't.

I've repeatedly stated YOU can only do what YOU think is right, and I can only do what I think is right.

That's it.

The anger comes from those who can't coerce me to see it their way.

I'm not angry at anyone who doesn't see it my way.



With that, I'm done talking about it.

[biggirl]

What's everyone wearing?

[mikeyboy]

What's everyone wearing?

everyone is wearing skinny jeans.

[RhinoinMN]

What's everyone wearing?

Anal beads.

[Tall_James]

What's this Tall-Fellows place? sounds intriguing to me.

[JohnCharles]

What's everyone wearing?

Probably a spite and disgust striped sweater!

[RhinoinMN]

It would be an honor if I could get my picture with you there. It would make me feel important.

Plenty of room in the shed, I should have power out there by next week.

[biggirl]

i think everyone should come in really ugly christmas sweaters and vests. We could have a contest for ugliest sweater.

[JohnCharles]

As well as matching socks.

I should definitely be there. I might show up wasted though. Its the same day as Santa Con NYC so I'll have a very early start that day.

[biggirl]

are you mocking Greg and his wolf sweaters now? This is why he won't attend!

he can only wear it if it is a christmas wolf sweater. the wolf has to be wearing a santa hat or holding baby jesus.

[JustJon]

The better one :innocent:

And more handsome one. :bye:

And I did have a place back when I announced the date. We had worked out most of the details, then they told me they wanted $25,000. And then I had to start looking all over again. As said by Furtherman, the economy has picked up and there are alot more X-Mas parties this year, which made it harder to secure a place.

Gvac, I don't know what your issues are with me, but if you want to talk, there's a bunch of ways to contact me to the left of this post.

[keithy_19]

If you're driving you shouldn't be drinking anyway. Especially $35 dollars worth.

But most will have a drink anyway... 2 maybe 3 over the course of the night? That should cost you around $12-$20. Unless you drink the expensive stuff.

Last bar I went to in the city, I had two beers and it cost me 12 bucks. Throw in the shot I had, it went to 20. 35 for whatever you want is a pretty damn good deal.

Can I wear the bracelet around my ankle?

[keithy_19]

everyone is wearing skinny jeans.

So the party is in Brooklyn?

[Flea_Man]

I'll be there.

[CruelCircus]

I was sitting there before it changed. Po was fine - we moved and he was polite. as Marc said, it was the few people who got annoyed that they weren't special enough to sit there that made it a story.


Good for you then. But I was one of a group of people he basically shoved out of the way, in addition to others he barked at and was rude to so they'd move. Again, he was not affiliated with the party or its hosts; he had no official function that night. He was just another guest.

[CruelCircus]

Wow, this thread really exploded today.

Rival parties?

Making us choose sides?

hmmm.........

Exactly the way Mafia Life Chris wanted it!

But even if Jon doesn't participate so much here anymore, it is a party being thrown for members of this site to get together and have a good time, and something that it done every year. Who cares who organized it, the purpose and intent are the same as every other year.

I'm with Missy on this. I was going to post something similar.
This party (this annual party, that Jon has organized in the past) is about who you hang with once you get there. Forget the host, and come hang with your friends. (Inside. It's too goddamn cold on the sidewalk, and anyway smoking'll kill ya!)


its cool with me that rhino and i have to travel halfway across the country to meet each other cuz milwaukee is filled with communists

You can hide at The Safe House!

I find bars with $2 Rolling rocks and $5 shots in the city. Jeeez youre so getting ripped off.

Perhaps not.

We'll see.

No, Tub will be at Tommy Fox's.

Too specific!!! Too specific!!!

[spoon]

Wow, this thing is just as interesting as ever. While I respect the nature of what Gvac is saying and doing, I implement a different strategy. First, who would want to miss JustJon not only taking credit for Mikeyboy's party, but trying to parlay it into a date with a 21 year old bartender who he ends up scaring the life out of?? WHO? Not me, bc it was FANTASTIC. And I had nothing to do with said bartender believing Jon was a bisexual father of two trying to cheat on his "second relationship". She was looking hard for the ring marks on his hand the whole night and kept coming back to our group with updates on his advances that night. (OK, three times but great none-the-less.) :lol:

Still, the point is well made and I understand it completely. I'm sure he's twittered about ur disdain quite often already, but hey, you can simply just reach out to him by multiple mean on the left.

Bottom line here, if it's getting harder to book a party (which is bullshit) bc I booked one in a day last month for my company in NYC, do it earlier not later. Sorry Jon, you're simply a liar and always have excuses. If you want out of the gig, just pass the shit on to plenty here who can easily and willingly take it on.

In the end, I'll probably hit both but I'm on the fence here with this interesting concept. Missy's point is quite on, but there are times we need to step up and make a needed point. Jon always has excuses, hates his "own" site and simply needs to move on bc his heart isn't in it.

[Freitag]

Jon's point about being "harder to book a party" is a money thing, not an availability thing. Your company probably has plenty of dough to throw around for a party, where Jon doesn't.

[spoon]

It's about business given, I put 0 down on an awesome place and with a much smaller group setup. So no.

[Snoogans]

im curious as to why we even have to book a place. Like a bar is gonna kick out 100 paying customers? just pick a place thats a good size and show up. Why do you need to officially have some deal

[spoon]

In the end, Jon does everything half-assed, (softball setups, party setups, board admin, board ownership and finally life).

[JohnCharles]

The math adds up.

[spoon]

Ron is simply wrong, we used to do this at the shithole that is Dave and Busters and nobody gave two shits. It was about the people and knowing where in time to plan, now it has to fit on Jon's schedule and timeline, while everyone else sits and waits. Be happy it hasn't gone the way of the softball game where he simply just kept saying it's close until it didn't happen. Yet this event is air involved so he can't go that far.

Oh shut UP. If we had this at D&B's, from NJ and Long Island would lose their mind, and people would yell and scream that Jon was doing this just to be close to his place.

If we did this at Jillians in Farmingdale, people would complain.

Even if we did this in Hoboken people would complain.

The city, unfortunately, is the one central spot and because of that, it's location commands a premium.

How does 12/12 "fit into Jon's schedule"? It's the perfect time to have a holiday party, not to close and not too far from Christmas.

Stop being Spoon and just act human for once.

[Freitag]

In the end, Jon does everything half-assed, (softball setups, party setups, board admin, board ownership and finally life).

Ironically, if Jon did the board admin job you'd want him to do, you and Gvac would have been banned.

[Snoogans]

i agree it should be in the city, but what premium? We have gatherings in the city all the time without setting shit up and gettin some agreement. Again, no bar would kick out 100 paying customers, and if you just showed up with a group that size, they would do what they could to take care of you.

Why not just pick a nice sized place in the city that could handle it and tell everyone to show up there. They wouldnt get mad at us for spending money

Yes, but 100 individual drinkers cannot arrange to have what is essentially an open bar for $35 whereas a person arranging a deal with a bar before hand for their group can.

[Seinfez]

We should just have the party at mikeyboys place. I'll bring the ring dings and pepsi.

[JerseyRich]

Yes, but 100 individual drinkers cannot arrange to have what is essentially an open bar for $35 whereas a person arranging a deal with a bar before hand for their group can.

There were no drinks specials last year, that I remember, and not one person complained about that party.

But it doesn't matter.

Just go to a party and have fun. Ron will continue to have fun with the idea that we all hate each other and then we will all hug and shake hands and drink and we'll go on living our lives.

[Snoogans]

Yes, but 100 individual drinkers cannot arrange to have what is essentially an open bar for $35 whereas a person arranging a deal with a bar before hand for their group can.

its not an open bar for 35 bucks. Its a 3 hour wristband thing. its not like its special, bars do it all the time, alot of them do it for 25.

Generally is what happens, enough people think its a good deal and so many show up that drinks become slow, they generally limit you to one drink at a time, and most likely, you will be lucky to get 35 bucks worth of drinks in those 3 hours. If you do, ok maybe you saved a few bucks but is it worth all the hastle? I prob wouldnt drink that much cause im driving, so the wrist band isnt a deal for me. And its not gonna be limited to us, so anyone who shows up can get one and get into the "VIP" area. So its going to be very very crowded.

You coulda got the same thing at any bar probably. Hell you could probably call karavis and have them, if not already, open the basement bar and they wouldnt charge you a dime to do it. Alot of places could hold it on a whim. Thats why the complaints. Its being sold as something it doesnt really seem to be

[hammersavage]

All I want for Christmas is my hair to come back...so hammer can hold it as I puke.

i was talking about your pubes :wub:

[Snoogans]

and just a general point, the wristband deal that bars offer isnt the steal you think it is. Most of the time, most people dont get the money's worth of drinks. If you were gettin that great a deal bars wouldnt do it. They do it cause it makes them more cash. If it was just to get people to show and was a great deal, they would do it on wednesday or something. they do it on busy days cause they know they are robbing most people on the deal, not the other way around

[JerseyRich]

So was I.

[spoon]

Oh shut UP. If we had this at D&B's, from NJ and Long Island would lose their mind, and people would yell and scream that Jon was doing this just to be close to his place.

If we did this at Jillians in Farmingdale, people would complain.

Even if we did this in Hoboken people would complain.

The city, unfortunately, is the one central spot and because of that, it's location commands a premium.

How does 12/12 "fit into Jon's schedule"? It's the perfect time to have a holiday party, not to close and not too far from Christmas.

Stop being Spoon and just act human for once.

You really are an idiot. First off, the point was most don't really care about the venue, it's the timing of getting it locked in. I wouldn't expect the man who actually runs away from parties left and right bc he's afraid to be in the same room as some here to get that. Your diatribe on where the event is held is moot. I've made pretty much all r/f holiday parties since the start, D&B up to Blondies and couldn't care less. If you fail to see the reasoning behind Gvac's point you're simply blind, deaf or dumb. Yet bc it's Gvac I understand why you'd do so as fear has a way of messing with someone's ability to function.

As for that last line, ha! HA! I think it's absolutely priceless coming from you. Focus on your coming child, not the sad one inside Matty. Bottom line (once again) is that it has nothing to do with the venue. Read that slowly a few times Human Matty.

[KatPw]

its not an open bar for 35 bucks. Its a 3 hour wristband thing. its not like its special, bars do it all the time, alot of them do it for 25.

Generally is what happens, enough people think its a good deal and so many show up that drinks become slow, they generally limit you to one drink at a time, and most likely, you will be lucky to get 35 bucks worth of drinks in those 3 hours. If you do, ok maybe you saved a few bucks but is it worth all the hastle? I prob wouldnt drink that much cause im driving, so the wrist band isnt a deal for me. And its not gonna be limited to us, so anyone who shows up can get one and get into the "VIP" area. So its going to be very very crowded.

You coulda got the same thing at any bar probably. Hell you could probably call karavis and have them, if not already, open the basement bar and they wouldnt charge you a dime to do it. Alot of places could hold it on a whim. Thats why the complaints. Its being sold as something it doesnt really seem to be
My husband doesn't drink at all and I haven't drank in so long that I'll probably be trashed if I drink 3 vodka and tonics so in my mind (and at Manhattan prices) it's a bargain. I generally avoid these events so I don't know the history. It doesn't seem like anyone else was stepping up to the plate to set a date and place. Maybe for the next get together someone else should take it upon themselves to plan out the date and place.

[Doogie]

Remember when we did bar crawls and people didnt care one way or the other where we went and people didnt complain. Gosh, those were the days...

[spoon]

Ironically, if Jon did the board admin job you'd want him to do, you and Gvac would have been banned.

Is that Irony, or just plain false. If anyone would be gone matty, it would be you. Outside of your semi-monthly "changed" personas you kick around and some admin ass kissing here and there, you've done nothing but make enemies and stir up shit. Funny you should call us out.

Also, if he did the job I'd want it would have nothing to do with the angle you speak of. I think I'm pretty clear in my musings on the subject. I could give two shits if someone fights or argues here, in fact I encourage a little heart and fire on the site.

[hammersavage]

If I have to reach over the bar myself, I will drink into the triple digits. Book it

we dont step up cause jon tells us he got it, thats why it takes so long. And no, what is the mistake people make with "Manhattan" prices?

A rum and coke will be 6 bucks, 8 if you get it with capt or something. So say you get 4 capt and cokes, thats 32 bucks. Most people tip 1 dollar a drink, thats 36 dollars. You broke even.

But have you ever been to a decently busy bar in manhattan on a fri/sat night? You have to wait 15 minutes sometimes to get a drink. its ok cause you are buying them, so you get as many as you want.

But with wristbands, you can only get 1 drink each time, to prevent gettin drinks free for people who didnt pay. With the extra crowd, it will take you so long to get back that you will be lucky to get 4 drinks in 3 hours, esp if you go outside to hang or smoke. Its really never a good deal, thats why they do them, and thats why they do them on friday and saturday night. To overcrowd the bar and make more then they would have for those few hours.

ITS A TRICK, and everyone falls for it. Its not a good deal

No one else stepped up because Jon said he had secured a place for us 1 month ago.

The venue doesn't matter...I agree with that...because half of these people stand on the sidewalk all night.

So for next year's party, let's make sure the sidewalk is big enough for 30-40 people.

[Snoogans]

thats also why they didnt do this near as much when you could smoke inside. Now that you have to go outside to smoke, it wastes more time, and there fore you get less drinks

I don't go to bars. When we are in the city we either go to the theater. I don't know how much liquor costs in the bar world, so for me $35 is a bargain when a drink at a show is $13 minimum. Liquor stores, that's different. But I am honestly clueless as to the markup on alcohol.

i just want a quick rundown of people's problems here.

1. you only got three weeks notice for a party.
2. you can get a three hour $35 all you can drink bracelet or not.
3. jon doesn't participate much in the board, so we shouldn't go to the party.

what else am i missing here? i want to be upset about things.

[Snoogans]

This has been proven over and over again at McFadden's.

and its the reason people question the motive. The only one who will clean up on this deal is the bar. The fact its set up tends to mean it was done to help someone who works at the bar make more money

[mikeyboy]

There were no drinks specials last year, that I remember, and not one person complained about that party.

But it doesn't matter.

Just go to a party and have fun. Ron will continue to have fun with the idea that we all hate each other and then we will all hug and shake hands and drink and we'll go on living our lives.

Hey! There were drink specials last year. Domestic bottles and rail drinks or some such thing. We didn't go with wristbands last year partially because the venue didn't want to police the folks who didn't buy wristbands, so they were going to require everyone to get them.

without the $35 bracelet, you cant go to the vip area, so if your not going to drink, but because you want to meet and socialize, you still gotta pay the $35

[Marc with a c]

Can I come?

please.

[Snoogans]

whats the best deal? (http://porkysnyc.com/packages/)

also, notice how the pay deals all have minimum amounts of people. Thats to make sure it gets busy enough that you dont get your moneys worth. If you did a wristband thing with 10 people you would get a great deal, thats why they dont do it. its all about overcrowding the place to fuck people

[mikeyboy]

without the $35 bracelet, you cant go to the vip area, so if your not going to drink, but because you want to meet and socialize, you still gotta pay the $35

To be honest, given this crowd, the best places to be will not be in the VIP area. I personally could give a fuck about the VIP area.

I can't wait till I get my 3 dollar ginger ale, i hope it has a lime slice in it. :king:

yea because we just go to hang out. But alot of people will go cause they wanna meet ron and fez and most of the time thats prob where they will be. So people will wanna get there. Basically some people will literally be paying 35 to meet ron and fez for 2 minutes and not be able to get drinks

[Snoogans]

then don't do it. who fucking cares?

i wont be. Thats not the point. The point i was making was representing the common man. Im like a senator

[mikeyboy]

but its not an advantage, its a detriment. it causes it to be more expensive and worse. people just dont realize this

If you really want to get your money's worth, it can be done. if it's really crowded just drink quickly and stay at the bar. That's a lot less fun because you don't get to socialize.

[Freitag]

I wouldn't expect the man who actually runs away from parties left and right bc he's afraid to be in the same room as some here to get that.

I'm sorry, are you confusing me with The Chairman?

How exactly do I "run out of parties"? Enlighten me.



If you fail to see the reasoning behind Gvac's point you're simply blind, deaf or dumb. Yet bc it's Gvac I understand why you'd do so as fear has a way of messing with someone's ability to function.

If you really want to get your money's worth, it can be done. if it's really crowded just stay at the bar. That's a lot less fun because you don't get to socialize.

Fez won't be there. Ron will be out front smoking. The VIP are won't be an issue with that.

[angrymissy]

Snoogans, I actually talked to Jon while he was planning the party and brought up the same concern re: the bracelets, because of what happened at MacFaddens that one year. The bar told him there will be 4 bartenders assigned to that area where everyone with the bracelets will be, so it seems they're at least trying to provide coverage for people with bracelets.

[Snoogans]

Fez won't be there. Ron will be out front smoking. The VIP are won't be an issue with that.

we'll see. Ron does spend time out front, he is good with that. But once he goes in, and understandable, he wants some space, so usually he heads for whatever special area we have.

[spankyfrank]

If I don't get my ginger ale I'll be pissed, I work hard for that 3 dollars.

i appreciate that but that area holds 100. They arent limiting wrist bands, just people in that area. And the front bar will be just as slammed. I appreciate the addressing of it but its still a big concern.

Again its not problem to me, i wont be gettin the braclet regardless, so I dont mind. Im just bringing up what may be a concern so that they can be discussed

You should start listening to the show again.

[mikeyboy]

we'll see. Ron does spend time out front, he is good with that. But once he goes in, and understandable, he wants some space, so usually he heads for whatever special area we have.

I'm not sure what your precedent is. We don't usually have special areas. The one year when there was actually a VIP area (thanks to Po), Ron & Fez weren't back there. Ron sometimes finds a table in the back, but he's always been accessible.

[Snoogans]

i agree, but all the tables are VIP area. So if he is inside at one, it brings up the same thing.

you are right, ron is usually good about being up front some, and I was not aware fez wasnt going. So that does help that some

[TooLowBrow]

Fez won't be there. Ron will be out front smoking. The VIP are won't be an issue with that.

so do you recommend that we dont pay the $35 and just hang out in the regular bar or street, paying regular prices for our drinks?

THATS THE BEST IDEA. Or even better, hang outside, get your drinks at the next closest not crowded bar.

that was my point about just showing up. if you spend money, bars take care of you. you dont need to set it up, just go to one and after awhile they will hook you up, especially a big group. That was more an aside to this though

[spankyfrank]

so do you recommend that we dont pay the $35 and just hang out in the regular bar or street, paying regular prices for our drinks?

I think I'll probably get the 35 dollar wrist band just so I can access all areas in case i want to hang with people in the back, for good company it's worth it.

That's not what I was saying. I think the VIP area is stupid, but that's just something the bar set up, it had nothing to do with Jon. Buying a bracelet to get in the VIP area is dumb. As for getting drinks, if the bar is serious about providing the proper number of bartenders, your ability to get a drink won't be impacted too greatly. I was speaking only of the worst case scenario, which is what occurred at McFadden's 3 years ago when they were not staffed properly to handle the crowds. I can't blame McFadden's too much because they weren't expecting the crowd we brought in (and frankly neither were we). Opie promoted it on the air during the Homeless Shopping Spree and we had 300+ people show up.

Well, it's not completely the point. The bars can actually afford for a person to "make money" on the deal, because of the mark-up on drinks. For some people they won't make as much profit as they will for others, but the trade-off is the guaranteed money. For instance, some folks who may have otherwise only gotten 2-3 drinks, end up getting 7 to make their money back. The bar doesn't make as much profit percentage wise, but more money is coming in. I've definitely gotten my money's worth at wristband events before.

marccurbstompedffb?

yes.

[TooLowBrow]

As for getting drinks, if the bar is serious about providing the proper number of bartenders, your ability to get a drink won't be impacted too greatly.

see thats the thing, even if the bar is properly staffed, its still smarter not to get the bracelet. Then you can buy multiple drinks and avoid trips to the bar.

also, if we get the bracelet, and spend 9-12 buying 'free' drinks, do you think, at 1am, the bartenders will hook you up as well as the guy who's been laying out cash on the bar all night?

i just want a quick rundown of people's problems here.

1. you only got three weeks notice for a party.
2. you can get a three hour $35 all you can drink bracelet or not.
3. jon doesn't participate much in the board, so we shouldn't go to the party.

what else am i missing here? i want to be upset about things.

Let me know so I can join, please.

I would appreciate if snoogans would shut up. You made your point 20 times over and get all enraged about the injustice in a party special of a party you will attend for less than an hour and then go back home anyway.

Just zip it and let people make their own judgment of whether that special is a good deal for them or not. You act like they are all retarded and can't do simple math.

Most of us just want to go to a x-mas party and have fun hanging with friends and possibly saying hello to the buddies (Ron & Tanley) without the bitterness and anger you infuse into this thread.

[spankyfrank]

Burp I agree, Let's get Stinko!!! :drunk:

[underdog]

To be honest, given this crowd, the best places to be will not be in the VIP area. I personally could give a fuck about the VIP area.

you're just saying that to clear out the VIP room for you and you alone.

If you really want to get your money's worth, it can be done. if it's really crowded just drink quickly and stay at the bar. That's a lot less fun because you don't get to socialize.

I was sitting at the bar at the event I went to and it took up to 30 minutes to get a drink sometimes.

Now I am fear that If I buy a bracelet people will call me a sucker. If I don't buy a bracelet people will call me a sucker.

Then I don't even know what place I am supposed to be.

Buying into all the hype makes you a sucker.

Once it cleared out a bit, it wasn't so bad. But it was pretty awful for a while.
