Crimson/Blue Fest headcount 2023

[japhy]

I will need to order the dessert soon. We had 50+ people milling around at Solstice and it still took two days to kill that massive tres leches cake. But damn was it good. The chocoflan is easier to conquer as a smaller group.

So I need a firm headcount for food purposes. If you are coming, add to this post and state the number of people total in your party. Just because you mentioned before you were coming that does not mean you can skip this important step, confirmation.

I will be there with my dog Dok. Because of family health problems Annie will not be attending this year.

Carrie from Tulsa who is one of my business partners will be there as will Jayhawk Dave. Dave was at Solstice and his boyfriend brought him over and introduced him because he wanted to know about Crimson/Blue Fest.

First he wanted to vet me.

Q:"how many national championships has KU won in basketball and what were the years?"

At this point Annie did an eyeroll and took her leave of us nerds.

A;"four, 1952, 1988, 2008, 2022".

Dave:"you missed two."

Japhy:"no you jackass the Helms Trophies don't count, you can't count championships awarded by sports writers unless you are talking to MU fans."

A spirited debate ensued. We decided Jayhawk Dave was in.

Dana the Capo of the KC mafia in Saguache will be there because it is a party and Dana does not miss parties within 30 miles of Saguache.

So to recap; Japhy, Jayhawk Dave and Dana are in my immediate party. That makes three so far

Also let me know when you are rolling into the valley. I will get there either Thursday night July 27 or Friday morning July 28. There will be an art event party Saturday night at Bill's Big Party Garage and you are all welcome to attend. Sunday morning a fishing party will leave the Spud Lounge early and may be out most of the day. I will be around town all weekend before the KU event.

I should be there on the 25th in case anybody wants to get there early. If you know what I mean.

Mr Defixione, we are pleased to receive your confirmation form. But it seems that you missed the line where we ask you to indicate the number of people in your party. Which was of course the primary purpose of the confirmation form.

Please try again.

Thank you.

Oops, my bad. You can count on one and a half. I don't know how much my significant other will get involved.

Let me know when the 2025 reservations start.

There's no way I'm getting there this year.

Am I the only one who noticed the thread title?
40% chance I will be there in 2024. If it takes place.
Unfortunately I am 99% sure I will NOT be there in 2023.


I fully expect there will be an evening in which the participants resemble these gifs. Enjoy!

Feral/Shirley is in, party of one. We are up to 8 now.

I have invited Special K and DayRay/NightRay to add some local flavor. No word back from them yet, but pretty sure if they are in town they will drop by. If you wanna bounce on the trampoline you will have to go over to their place.

excuses, excuses, but…

my niece and nephew are coming to visit the land of the mormons

y’all get a raincheck

[japhy]

I just heard from Special K and Ray Ray; "party? we're in!".

The confirmed number of attendees is now 10.

That number will kill off a chocoflan, but we will need more confirmations to order a tres leches cake.
