It's been way too interesting and eventful of a year not to have a big blow out at the end of it. Hanging out on Oprano all year and then going to Vegas and NOT having a PHB is like cancelling the Super Bowl.
I'm still pissed because I won the fucking Football Pickem last year and then didn't get to do Vegas and the PHB.
This is an intelligent group with plenty of ideas, cash and connections. There's gotta be a solution. I see some folx stepping up. If full sponsorship packages aren't getting takers, maybe come up with a way to do it with smaller chunks.
Let different sponsors sponsor different parts of the event or something if that's what it takes. Split the open bar into shifts. Make a scene, ham it up, ring a bell and announce "this hour the drink are on ______". Hell, go for even smaller bites of that if needed, do 15 minute increments if you have to. Get it small enough and I'm sure some individuals will kick in for shits and giggle instead of just sponsors.
If you have to pass the damned hat, pass it over this way.
This is a problem that needs to be solved.
