2nd Annual American Skier Reunion!

[Mason]

After speaking with Ron T. today and getting logged into the forum I have been sooo excited to attend the reunion.  I live in TN, BUT, I am obligated to attend a wedding the weekend of the reunion.  I look forward to the photos and stories from the reunion. 

[Joel]

Thats easy... dont go to the wedding... unless its yours of course   

Not to worry...  some of us may be showing up early and some may be staying late.   I think my family has decided to show up earlier in the week and stay through the weekend.  Also, the Reunion is officially Fri, Sat and Sun.  You should be able to make it out for a day

I would like to stop in on Sunday but a 5.5 hour drive across the state after the post wedding celebration would put me there at about dark thirty.

I can't wait for next years schedule.

Notice: At the Reunion:

Last year we had sweatshirts, tee-shirts, of which sweatshirts sold out ... we are thinking of limiting it to sweatshirts this year ... with a simple design, perhaps of just the American Skier logo and year of event ... extra large, large, and medium ... last year we sold them for cost, (shirt and logo) ... we will do that again this year.

PS ... this year I will not be selling my sweatshirt, so be certain to get one, or order them in advance, just let me know you want one, etc. pay for it at the reunion, they turned out pretty neat ... probably same color, light gray, hood, heavy weight ... see you at the reunion ... Rafe

Rafe or Phil, I wanted to get with you about the sweatshirts........ I am going to place another order for some of those dash plaques (if people liked them last year and would like them again this year that is).

I wasnt there last year, but I think it was pretty cool that the shirts matched the plaques or however you want to look at it. I was going to try and match whatever you are doing if thats ok......

When you say simple design of just the American Skier logo are you talking about one of the shields? The bubble script graphic?

Do you have anything drawn up yet that I might be able to send my guy to imitate?

Let me know please. Its no hurry now but I want to roll on some stuff before it gets to soon and I have to start jumping through hoops to make stuff happen.

[Mike Harry]

on a separate note, I am going to make 2 or 3 large plaques (nice plaques I plan on hand making) for some awards this year.

I was thinking 1 could be longest haul (most miles travel to get to reunion)

Possibly best boat picked bye Ron or Dan or both...

Anyone else have any ideas? Please remember I'm paying for these  so I'm only going to go with the best 2 or 3 suggestions.

[Joel]

Great...  now I'll have to tow my boat UP to Michigan and back down to Tenneessee just to win a plaque!   

Seriously,  I think that is ANOTHER great idea!   And, whatever design / style / size you think is appropriate is good for me...  I mean, DAAY-YAAMN, your really going at this...!!!  I'm proud just to know ya and we havent even met...  yet     And, yeah...  Ron & Dan do the judging - no brainer 

Also, working with Phil & Gonzo on the design so it all matched up was well worth the effort!  Both the plaques and the sweatshirts / t-shirts were a big hit!  Most liked the sweatshirts better than the T's and they went super FAST!  Really good quality stuff...  My Dad liked the sweatshirt soooo much he guilted me out of it the first time he saw it...   The design looked a little "busy" on the plaques because they were much smaller in scale, but I loved it just the same.  VERY COOL and thank you again!

A slightly different design for each year is a good thing - makes each one more memorable IMHO.  Other than that, you guys do what you want...  SURPRISE US...  we'll love 'em

Alright guys, I going to need to get the plaques ordered here pretty soon. Wondering if we were any closer on getting a design together?

Also there is going to be a special supprise for those towing boats. I'm going to go over to the registration page and get a count of how many boats are slated to show up...... if anyone else is towing their boat you need to get it up on the registration page! I'm getting my count from there and if you are not on it within a week or so you may miss out on whats coming to ya!

[Joel]

I "should" be on it...  If not, were coming down from Columbus, OH...      See ya'all in a couple months!!!  CANT WAIT!!!!

[phil]

Who made the farthest trek last year? Our tow is further than Joel's 

[Pelvic Woo]

I think us Bennett's are in the running for the longest haul last year...Hartford, CT and back.  Wish I could say we were definite for a return trip this year but, it's too far for a weekend trip and I can't take any more time off of work.  I'm really bummed too - would love to show off the Comanche!!

[phil]

damn, that is one hell of a trip!

[Joel]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo....  you GOTTA come!!!   Damn!!!   

I think BJ has the longest tow...  Somewhere in TX...   It takes 3000 miles just to get out of Texas...
