Planet's input needed on this years fundraiser
 

I know this is early but a couple of ideas have come up that I wanted to get feedback on.

1.Look at moving the Saturday party to a different location just up the road from my place that will handle alot more people.The reasoning behind this is being able to get the public involved i.e. more money for the charity and also a percentage going to Kyle and the Planet.

The 2nd part of this idea would be to stop the public function towards mid-evening and then we(the planeteers)move the rest of the evening back to my place.


2.This idea came from another person and would include the Saturday party with everyone either staying overnight at Casa De Nzoner's or a local hotel and actually having a continuation of the weekend festivities in the gameroom during a Chiefs road game.I understand that we have a few planeteers who come a great distance and going to Arrowhead is a big part of their reason for doing so.

The Sunday party would of course include the Chiefs on the big screen plus 6 other games on the tv's and we would look at having an actual tailgate party here etc.


Anyhow,just looking for some feedback on these ideas all thoughts are welcome.

Thanks all.

yep, sounds good to me...

Does any of this involve pole dancing by Luv, Angel, Jenny Gump or any of the other female type Planet members?

I have the perfect place to meet everyone at...


PARTY COVE at lake of the ozarks


BYOP...BYOB...

Lets leave Ultra Peanut out of this

Bob Dole, no doubt??? :hmmm:

ROFL

I'm probably there, regardless though. Barring major conflicts.

% going to Kyle and the Planet?

LMFAO, for what?

Having the first of the party elsehwere is probably what you'd need for the fundraising part of it, yes - my only concern is how much higher is the fee going to be, you'd certainly have to rent a hall or whatever, yes? Other than that, what other activities would there be other than having the band, will there be pool like at your place for example? Darts too? If so, how much extra will it mean for the partygoer, such as myself?

sound good to me.

We should have it at my estate...

followed by a Chiefsplanet fishing derby...$10-$40 to enter..pays three places. Catch and release. We'll have weighers and keep track of the weight. Time limit could be three hours.


just tossing out ideas

Heh,Dole missing last years game isn't the only reason,I had also talked to another who had mentioned it would be nice to do a late nighter without the worry of getting up at 5a.m.

I was thinking we were still needing a server upgrade?

If not I'm sure the charity would be more than happy to receive all the funds.

There would be no reason to make the tickets higher as the extra people would offset additional costs.

As for additional things to do,that's why I'm looking for feedback now,it's a little tough with my schedule to try and throw everything together 6 weeks out.

Okay, well I would think some games would be appropriate, can you rent out a bar for a private party for a few hours? Is that realistic?

How about having a Texas Holdem Night, with unlimited buy-ins.

Chiefsplanet night at the Outhouse!!

Lap Dances on the house!!

Again,I don't really know what all is possible until I start checking,I just wanted to get a feel for what everyone else thought as to whether I should check into moving the party or not.

As far as I'm concerned this is the Planet's party and all of you who attend and/or want to attend should have a voice.Having it at my place is fine and we did raise some decent funds for the charity last year it's just do we want to try and do more.

Have all the women dress up as their favorite Chiefs Cheerleader!!

That rules out any hot chicks showing up.



How about a golf outing? It's been tossed around for a few years.....

As for the whole "more" angle, if history is any guide....we'll get about 40-60 people, with 100 or so others who will talk about coming or wanting to.....who can't/decide not too/or otherwise have conflicts that will prevent them from showing up. Maybe I'm wrong though.

That gathering at the brewery pub in Olathe a couple of years back was really good. Something along those lines would be great....live music is always good too--especially if the place is big enough to spread out, so pool-dart-game type things can be going on simultaneously on the "other" side of the joint.

Well, I can check with some friends of mine and see if they'll stop by. Are strippers ok for this party?

Okay sorry geesh, by asking I was suggesting, isn't that what you were looking for?

Your mom and her friends would NOT be welcome. :shake:




:p

Probably not, which means they should be a prerequisite of any ChiefsPlanet party.

I'll even buy Luv a lapdance.

I'd still go just to watch the debauchery and see if theres anyone here that can handle my quarters game.

I just hope he has a bigger turn out this year, I would like to meet more planteers, well and I hope he makes lots of money for the charity as well!!

If you start the party elsewhere, don't let the police know. A few hours of drinking would be enough to get people DUI's while en route back to your place.

I like the idea of the road game, but that's just my opinion. I've gone to a game completely hungover and sleepless before, and it wasn't nearly as much fun. At least I would have a little more of Sunday to sober up before driving 3 1/2 hours home.

Are you raising money for the same charity as last year, or will you be choosing another. I'm personally inclined to give to the American Cancer Association, but again that's just personal preference. I'd be happy knowing my money was going to any good cause.

I'm really open to about anything, although I do think having it elsewhere is going to complicate things such as what Luv mentioned about a bunch of us drunk fuggers driving back to your place. I don't think it's a bad idea to start talking about it now to get the idea into more people's heads and hopefully get a more people to show up this year.

Bowser mentioned golf, my first thought on that is (other than I don't play) you'd be banking on the weather being nice, which is a crapshoot.

Golf? That's for sissies. This is a football bb. How about a game of football? :)

Bug brings up a good point. I do like the idea of not having to get up early after partying late. I know some of you party animals can do that but I don't do that very well. However, the travel from a bar or whatever other venue to Casa Del Nzoner might cause some issues with DUI.

UNLESS...you rent a bus for the night and take said bus to whereever you deicde to go

Don't forget, it is going to possibly be cold around KC that time of year. It is 24 here today.

Three hours with your Mom and she still smells like fish.

I'm not sure what your fundraiser is, but I'd like to see a fundraiser sometime for the little girl who fell thru the ice and drowned here awhile back near my place... They are trying to raise money to start up a dive team in our area for such events...

Last I heard, they have near $6,000 raised, and that's just half of what they need...

I'm not saying this is what needs to be done, but thought maybe the planet might want to do this sometime later on in the year...

I like the bus idea, safety first when it comes to transporting 100 drunks.

I also don't mind spending the whole time in NZoners. Plenty of activities, but might get a little tight if it's cold outside and there are 200 people.

But you don't have to worry about as many 'rules' and such (laws, whatever).

I also like the idea of not having to get up at the ass-crack of dawn (that's why just stay up the whole night anyway)

If getting up early is an issue, why not try to schedule around a 3pm or night game?

I'd like to keep the same charity simply because Mrs Nzoner has RA and she is a big part of helping out with our anuual weekend.

Now that's an idea.... :hmmm:

Although some may need to take Monday off too, and that could limit out-of-town attendance.....ah, screw it....just take Monday off. :)

What's a 'Kyle'?

The place I was considering if it's avialable is not more than 2 miles up the highway from me but I don't know what all they have to offer.As for the road game here I was thinking ahead to a Planet breakfast tailgate with Bloody Mary's etc. plus we could all hang out together 1 more day all together without the hassle of trying to sell 40 tickets,collect money etc. and then still taking the chance of being spread all over Arrowhead.

I'm hoping this thread stays near the top as I want to hear the opinions of Dole,Frazod and hopefully Delt etc.

This year is looking as though it will be in September as I have got a crazy October already shaping up.

Focking my stuffed animals will no longer be an activity :D


As for the late game,that's an idea as well and why I started this topic early.

Another benefit of the doing the road game thing is it should be a little more affordable since we wouldn't have to make a donation to Carl as well.

Damn Joe, I hope I never get to the point that I know what I am doing a year from now. :D


I was trying to bust Chagrin's chops for not bringing an outer garmet to last years festivities. LMAO It was colder than normal.

What city will the fundraiser be in?

St Joseph, n00bs get charged double for everything.

Yeah,go figure,I know what's going on 3 of 4 weekends already for October but I couldn't tell you what I'm going to do next week.

What an idea! Nzoner was going to tell the local and state police, the time and date of the party. But thanks to you, he won't!!

You're so smart.

Well that has got to be better for the heart, I would think.

Eh. That was Christmas anyway. I'd hide them just in case though.

Well **** me running, I forgot to put [/sarcasm] after that for the idiots like you who can't figure it out. My bad completely. Sorry, man.

Sounds good to me. I sure hope I can make it work for me this year.

Also have a number game for the other games on the tube so part of the proceed goes to the charity

With that many people there, you could get a mean Texas Hold 'Em Tourney going. $10 to enter. First, second, and third places win certain amounts with the excess going to the charity.

Also, will you be doing a silent auction or raffle again?

Percentage to Kyle and Planet?

Yuck.

Take off!

That shindig at the Pony Express brew place was top notch.

I would do it 37forever style, and meet a night before when Sunday hits to watch the Chiefs game. I thought that that was concept

I agree,however,we'd need someone in KC to coordinate such an event.

The mrs and I wouldn't mind a full weekend here(for anyone that would need to crash Fri-Sun,and say hosting parties Saturday & Sunday)and I'm sure I could check with a couple of local establishments to see what I could get worked out for a Friday night get together.My only question,is that too long in St Joe?

It is the concept and a great one and what we're planning on again.Right now I'm just trying to get feedback on whether we want to go to a game(as usual) or have a cheaper event and have the fundraiser during the weekend of a Chiefs road game.

There is a casino nearby that should pass the time. Hell, have it at the casino. Oh, wait, I forgot that the Planet is trying to raise money. My bad.:(

Someone needs a spanking.

I was seduced

I still say a Texas Hold 'Em Tourney. Some kind of poker tourney anyway.

We've tried this the last two years but have never had enough participation.

I like what you're thinking and I think I'm in agreement here. However, like you said, some folks come from out of town just for the Arrowhead experience. That would be the only problem with this. But I only live an hour from KC. I can attend a game any time.

Heh, last year Mrs Lzen and I and my friend Daniel and cousin Scott all stayed at a hotel in St. Joe's on Friday and Saturday. We went to a couple bars in St. Joe. We didn't get to your place too early on Saturday for a good reason. ;)

That was the best 37 Forever banquet by far. It was a shame we couldn't fill that place to capacity.

Did you know Daniel was here last weekend for the mrs' daytona party?

It looked like a great time. I wish I had been able to attend that one.

No kidding? Well I'll be damned. I have actually traded emails with him this past week and he never mentioned that. Probably because he knows I don't think too highly of NASCAR.

My bad. As a newcomer, I don't know what's been done in the past.

That was a good time. Good beer, to boot.

Jamie just has to promise to not wear a three piece again. I felt like a vagabond.

Yep that was a good time.

An 85 pound man in a suit makes you feel like a vagabond?

Were you naked and pushing a shopping cart full of aluminum cans?

Hoping Frazod sees this to get his input

I'll be there this year. If there is a hold em tourney, I'd be happy to take everybodies money.

Good luck with that.

Luck isn't involved. It's all skill.

In person is different from online.

I've played a couple of hands live.



It is how I learned the game.


I played live for both money and for free for two years before I played online.
