So where the **** were the Planteers... - Page 3

AirForceChief · 09-20-2004, 06:14 PM

...when I was strolling through B-5 this weekend? Guess you guys were too cool for school, cause I got 'dissed trying to fing the Planet folks.

B5 Folks: "Planet? What's the Planet? Uh, they're in H I think...ask that dude over there."
Dude Over There: "Planet tailgate...not here...arn't they those on-line whiners?"
Me: "Huh?"

Damn, I felt like Slayer Diablo without the minty fresh breath. OUCH that hurt!

Oh well, wasn't like that was my first trip to Arrowhead since I joined the military 13 years ago...aww, crap, it was!!!

Ouch, again!

B5 is a meeting point for Planeteers, but it actually belongs to a group of people who have been tailgating together for many years - only one of whom is a Planeteer. This is why there is no ChiefsPlanet flag nor any other identifying characteristics. We *really* need to find and identify an OFFICIAL ChiefsPlanet rallying point.

The following is not so much a bitch about as it is a compliment to another group of Chiefs fans:

This weekend, I was invited to participate in another internet organization's charity events, attend their tailgate, and sit in their section at the game. ChiefsPlanet has 10x as many registered users and has been around 4x as long - yet, their participation level was quadruple anything I've ever seen with ChiefsPlanet. That is probably attributed to their leadership, because I was shocked at how organized and well done their events were.

We need to find somebody who is willing to take the tailgating ball and run with it. Hell, we could eventually even buy a ChiefsPlanet tailgating bus or something cool like that.... We have the numbers, now we just need to find the people to make it happen.

Uh, not to jump ship or anything, but do you care to share the other groups name?

No shit. You internet geeks are really screwing up my tailgating karma.

You guys can have B500. That should be far enough away.

Yeah, now that you mention it, I remember this discussion. I can see how it's a problem, because lots of people have other tailgating obligations to go along with their Planet friends. That's my problem: I have a family that I tailgate with. We usually have around 10 regulars, with a rotating group of 10-15 guests that have flown or driven in from out of town. I'm responsible for helping put that tailgate together, cooking, unpacking, packing, unpacking, packing, etc. I imagine that a lot of other folks are the same way. I'd really like to get away and meet up with the Planeteers, but it's always for a very brief time (3 hours really isn't enough time for tailgating, imo).

I don't know what the solution is. I guess someone just has to eventually volunteer to make their tailgate the official Planet tailgate (I'd love to, but "my" tailgate is really my inlaws tailgate, and they already think I'm weird for spending so much time online

)

No problem.

They're just like ChiefsPlanet in that they grew fed up with mgmt at kansascity.com and started their own site. In fact, if you go there, it will remind you of the Planet 2-3 years ago.

My personal philosophy is "the more, the merrier". As long as a Chiefs site isn't, uh, doing what that shithole does, I wish them well. There's plenty of Chiefs fans to go around on the internet. Likewise, there's enough Chiefs sites that everybody should be able to find one at which they feel welcomed and comfortable.

Yeah, I really missed being there too. One bright note was that I wasn't nearly as pissed as I would have been had I seen that debacle in person.

True. You missed WeirdWolf signing an autograph for Willie Lanier, tho.

Looks like someone got the ol' "reach around" by the coalition. I say good for you.

Heh heh - nah, it ain't like that. This is my internet hangout, but I liked the coalition people. They're lots of fun and I'm impressed by them. One can never have too many friends, IMO. But you bastards are stuck with me.

Do you have a submarine you'd like to donate for tailgating?

My son keeps seeing FDE everywhere too... but he always has to call me and tell me he just saw the guy that tried to kill him in the Scooby van last year

**grandllama** · 09-20-2004, 10:43 PM

I missed everybody Sunday too...we got to the stadium late, so I was going to stop by on the way out... but I was so pissed when the game was over that I just got in the van and went home.

BTW, last year, I was having a heck of a time finding everybody at B5 the first time too, but the folks in the bread truck on the other side of the B5 sign were very gracious to me and Ms. Llama and even fed us until I found Weird Wolf and asked him where everybody was and he introduced me to to Phobia...

**BigRedChief** · 09-20-2004, 11:05 PM

Okay I'll come clean. I go over to the coalition site and hang with them also. I'm not a member of the board board but they are good people (Mighty Mike, X-Factor, RedMan etc.) and I know several of them personally.

I was at their party/tailgating this Sunday with them. I showed up and their was a big announcement that BigRedChief had arrived. Made me feel welcome. It's funny that Phobia didn't introduce himself. Wonder what that means?

I like the planet tailgating idea. Sounds like people have a hard tie finding B5. I would suggest down by where the pope/ hearst guy is by the entrace to Arrowhead in first few rows by the aisle in the "D" parking lot. It's easy to find. People can stop by on thier way into the stadium.

It means that I didn't hear an announcement. Heh heh - would have loved to meet ya. When did you arrive? I was there from 8:00 until 9:30 and back at 11:00 until gametime. Then I hung out there afterwards, too. Did you see me?
