IAP Birthday Bash DATE ADJUSTMENT

jeff · Nov 23, 2008

By popular demand, we're adjusting the date of our birthday bash for 2009 and beyond to the month of February.

Our forum went live on Jan 1 2004, so we previously celebrated in the month of January. Over the years it has been evident that this puts a tremendous strain on the organizers trying to get everything set up during the holiday season.

February seems like the next best choice, so plan on joining us then for contests, drawings, prizes, and general good times as we celebrate 5 years!

I'll take 10 of whatever it is your selling. Unless it's one of Curtis's cat poopy blanks.

Great to be here on another birthday bash though. Last year was a daily blast.

And where does this oraganized gathering of persons of the vortex persuasion take place?

It takes place right here on IAP. No need to travel anywhere except to your computer chair in the comfort of your favorite boxers or womans nighty, which ever you prefer.

I've been an IAP member for less than a year. I'm not sure what to expect but I'm looking forward to it.

RogerGarrett · Dec 13, 2008

the bash

It's great fun. I was skunked last year, but the year before I had a nice win on one of the many fun things going on. Get involved - and be generous!

Best,
Roger Garrett

OK, so I'm assuming that we donate items for a draw? I also remember from one of the other threads that I read that there's a contest for the ugliest piece? Anything else?

So we're really having an unbirthday party? I've heard about those...

Some contest prizes are donated by businesses, some are donated by members, and Jeff goes out and buys others.

It's my job to rustle up the donations, so I'll make a posting in a day or so asking who would like to furnish prizes, so be on the lookout for that.

The birthday bash is a great bit of fun...lots of hard work goes into it, so make sure you participate and have a blast!

Scott · Dec 17, 2008

I have to say that I have been a BIG WINNER during each and every Birthday Bash the IAP has ever held! Of course I count making lots of new friends, having lots of fun, and doing crazy stuff as BIG WINS! The Bash is our chance to have fun and celebrate! I look forward to this year's bash more than ever before!

Scott.

i was just thinking, for the birthday bash, how about on the first of february at a certain time we try and as many penturners possible to be online. At the moment the most users ever online is 170, why don't we try and break that

HAH!!! I like this idea a whole lot. I wonder what a good time would be? Any suggestions???

Also, I'm going to present this idea to the Bash Planning Team. I like it!! :biggrin::biggrin:
