The Rochester Invasion III: Supplemental Recon Mission Pics

I think that we should push for a Convention in 2014. It may be our last and we should use a part of this proposed Con. to have a massive fucking wake for all those that have left us for Valhalla. And evening of toasts for Mayhem, DJF, Schmernie and all the others that have touched our lives and made them better by their participation.
We have talked about this on and off for the past year. Now is the time to make it happen.
Let us all push for, "The Rememberance Con." in '14, and dedicate it to Tony, Tim and all those who have left us.
I beg of you all to promise some time toward making this a reality.
Please?



I am not going to "sticky" this, it will live or die by the enthusiasm of Board Members, and thereby, we will be able to gauge the support for the idea.

IN.

Rochester is the spot. Only fitting we pay tribute to our beloved Mayhem at The Toad. Perhaps it'll be the first time he'll look forward to all the patrons in the joint, albeit from afar. Good on ya, Palinka.

I'm in.

[Cheffie]

In.

[fiyah]

I shan't be there.

[Palinka (RIP)]

I shan't be there.

Well, I, for one, shall be extremely sorry not to share a drink with you during one of my increasingly infrequent visits to the US.
I hope that whatever it is that prevents your attending will be a lot of fun.

[fiyah]

Cost for me.

Me, too, now that I've finally figured out who you are.

[TheBigCasino]

Count me in.

This is good.

[greygoose1]

I'll be there wherever, whenever. i miss the bald one. i'm sorry that a generous soul has left us.

My ex-roomie and good friend who is also a Drunkard lives in Rochester. I will get with him and post again once I have some more ideas now that we have a date.

Oh dear, three thousand miles away from the pink pile? I've just gotten myself able to handle traveling twenty-five miles or so without having to resort to oxygen and/or heavy meds. Somebody slip me some mickies (I think that is what they are called) and Grumpy can pour me on the plane and scrape me off when we arrive.

Has anyone booked their hotel yet? I'm getting ready to book, just want to be sure this shit is going to happen. :)

We haven't even agreed on dates!?! Seriously, I have repeatedly pleaded, cajoled and begged for people to offer some of their time to making this happen and out of all of you, only "Patchez", "Resident Asshole", "mistah willies"and "l..." (as in Liz) have actually given any help (may the gods of booze bless and keep them (plentifully supplied with booze)). I have been making horrendously long transatlantic telephone calls to try and get information (remember, I am currently based in the UK), sending out ebuckets of emails and actual letters, trying to get an itinerary together (I will post a "beta-stage" draft a bit later today, when I have more time, hopefully), trying to see who and what we can get in the way of entertainments and trying to run ideas past FKR (who will not be organising this Con. He has said that he will help sponsor it but the days of the "Official MDM Con." are over.
So, before we start booking hotels, once again I will ask, "Who can spare some time to take on one or more specific task? Any time that anyone can offer, will be greatly appreciated but please don't say that you will do something unless you are certain that you can complete the job."
As I said, I shall put a "beta-stage" draft of the proposed itinerary (later, when I have time), so that it can be discussed and alterations can be made.
I shall also put up a list of tasks and put by each task a date by which that task must be completed. There will undoubtedly be additions to the list of tasks.
So again I ask, not who may or may not be "in" but the question that I started this thread with, "Who can offer some time in order to make this happen?"
