There were quite a few of those bastards.

 

That's really absurd. Did you guys not have any way to keep track of the people who paid?

Freeloaders = no no

 

Great day Danny, those ribs and chicken were awesome.

Glad to hear we raised some good coin for the dogs and cats.

Can't wait for BAM X

And Paul.....nice touch with the assault rifle mount in your fozzy I think a lot of people were shocked to see an assault rifle as part of the car show!

 

Well, if you paid, you got a wrist tag. I personally didn't even think to look at who had one and who didn't, because there was so much going on. I was in and out of the event all day. and each time I passed the table, I would throw the wrist up...like I was at a club or something, but no one seemed to pay attention. I mean really, the honor system should be all we need. It was a great time, and I would have happily paid more for what I got.
Thanks again to all the people that came through and paid with money out of their pockets ( paul@DBTuned ). <---solid guy right there!
I look forward to the next one!

 

GREAT EVENT!

THANKS BRUCEEEEEEEEE! VENDORS AND ALL THE HELPERS!

another memorable BAM!

 

cant wait for ten!!

ps Daniel nice meeting ya

 

how did the fundraiser for the animals go?

 

ya how much was raised???

 

I sort of kept a random tally based on the number of tickets sold and I thought it would be in the 2000 to 2500 dollar range. Daniel posted in another thread that it was something around 2000.

There was some problem with people paying, some saying they were with vendors and others just took advantage through just flying a bit under the radar. There was enough things going on that it was hard to enforce completely. People will always be trying to take advantage. It's just a shame they decided to do it at a fundraising event.

I think I probably dropped the ball a bit with the volunteer organization, but I want to really thank those that were there. Josh, Gus, Mark and (oh **** I forgot names don't kill me) the other volunters were really great, they didn't just do the jobs they signed up to help with they did anything needed of them. If I'm enlisted to help next year I could defiantly think of a few things to do to keep security much tighter.

 

I suggest posting people up at the head of the food line to check for wrist straps. No $$$, no food!

 

I'm sure Daniel was really, really grateful that you stepped up to take the reins in coordinating the volunteers. I was there, but unfortunately I did not actively try to hunt you down since all I committed to was Happy Fun Ball and post-event clean-up.

Imho, it was way too warm out during the heart of the meet to do more than eat & hang out. 'Twas much more comfy in the late afternoon hours. As posted in the BAM sucked () thread, a few of us closed out the place...even tossed the frisbee around for a while.

In re: to clean-up, all attendants did a great job of taking care of their own trash that there was practically ZERO need to pick up after everyone. I took care of a bit here & there, but a real non-issue. The park staff did a great job of coming thru regularly to haul away our trash & recylcing and leave us w/ empty bins.

Good job to all who contributed to making BAM 9 as fun & entertaining as it was!

 

Thanks manhands! I enjoyed helping out with you all. Don't forget the ladies, they did an amazing job with the raffle tickets and entrance as well! Helped somewhat having GilT flex his big a$$ muscles at the entrance.

In addition to "No $$$, no food" should be no pay "no entry/get kicked out if found without a wrist band or lack of proof" as it was a private event in which Daniel had to front some cash just to reserve the space.

Maybe next time we can have the table facing perpendicular to the bridge too!

Live and Learn!

 

yup

 

Big thansk to Justin and Greg behind the grill, you guys did all the hard stuff (read: chicken) while I just turned meat over.
