honestly... you missed out. It was a good one. I'm really sorry to hear about you kid. I'm everyone is on the mend.
Was looking forward to seeing that gtr.
I honestly think the event was about a 99% success. The drama is just that drama. It's gone. Hopefully it'll fade away and anything that matters can be handled person to person. It was honestly a very sad ordeal.
We'll be making a thread on the charity portion when it's all done. Then we'll move on to a close out meeting where we'll talk about the goods, bads and what people bring up in this thread and decide where it goes from here. Including who goes with it and who doesn't.
it was a great day for a great cause. I'm stoked to release the charity total.

I'm really happy to hear it turned out great. I know they have been generally improving every year, so I'm stoked for next year. I should have a 1000hp Godzilla to bring out then

I really enjoyed BAM this year. I feel like I kinda missed a lot since I was kinda stuck in my tent.
The schedule as far as raffle times and food times kinda went to ****, but that happens. It's something that's always been difficult to do. I'll admit that I even missed my food time as I was so caught up with my stuff.
Most of my critiques are from a Vendor point of view. Ray, I don't know if you want that info here or in a PM...

Quick ninja post then I'm out. Ray and the ORG crew, good job this year. Sorry couldn't chat much. You guys were busy and I was three sheets.
The raffle, I know dead horse right? Smaller ticket items t-shirts, stickers and the like, you have a huge crowd there, throw that crap to the crowd. Toss it in the air and let the mob fight it out. Raffle ticket items +$50.
Food, little condiment packs, much quicker and less hands. More charcoal make it hotter and cooks it quicker.

Those little packets are definitely the way to go.
The smaller items... we were torn on what to do because we didn't want vendors feeling like we didn't value their stuff and we wanted everyone to win something... even if it's small. We'll work on that for next year for sure. The raffle was something that concerned me this year because it took so long.... it's a good thing and a bad thing. LOL.
There was plenty of charcoal on hand. I honestly don't have much input there so I'll leave that one to the team leads from that area of the meet. I wasn't involved much over there. I didn't even eat except for what I snagged from Paul.
And i'm sorry we couldn't talk more. It was great to see you and Rachel. Thank you for coming out.

Part of that is the amplification issue. That was something the park put on us and something that'll will be taken care of for next year.
For me the biggest changes for next year will be the raffle methods and speeding up the food lines.
As for the vendor stuff. We'll ALL talk through my email on that one. You guys know I want to make it better for you guys and we definitely had some issues that will need to be ironed out for next year. From what I hear it was much better for the vendors this year than last year... so that's good.
you'll all get emails soon.
