Why didn't you guys donate to the raffle? To hear you guys, I'd have to say there's at least a couple of bottles of WHINE you could have donated. I guess you spent too much time in the sun, which is the reason for your complaints.
I spent 3 hours behind a grill making sure you guys were fed - even the guys who didn't bother paying for it - and a special thanks goes out to Paul@dbTuned who graciously bought another 30 lbs. of food in order to allow everyone to eat - even those who said, "We're not eating, so we're not paying" - and then stood in line grabbing burgers and dogs. In those three hours, the breeze was blowing, cooling us down and the mob of people we were facing, we didn't once complain about how hot it was, or flies on the food - we kept those flies far away from us.
Next year, come on over and spend a few hours on the grill - it'll make your "Hot as Hell" seem tame. How soon you forget the 107 degrees we faced a few years back at Hamilton.

It was alright, better than last year's for sure. Food was pretty good (I liked the burgers), a decent amount of cars showed up. Parking lot was tiny, so we had to go in the dirt parking lot. But it was HOT as hell. Wish we had it somewhere like Treasure Island or Alameda where it's fairly cool

Do the people that didnt go need to be grateful for BAM? I've already heard from multiple people that went...and the review was not kind. But for the sake of "playing by the rules" it's been kept to PM's.

It was man, by far the best of them all... Every year people have a great time, and there's always that small percentage of people who whine and cry about everything, you can't avoid it, it's who they are and what they do... A wise man once said "You can't make everyone happy", and they are right. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.
Next year will even be better.
You should have seen the DJ's battling and mixing it up, it was SICK! Those guys were sick!

Oh, can we please also start making more BAM threads? The billion prior to the event and just as many "zomg I was at BAM was anyone else on here there?" threads just don't quite cut it.
