Already have someone in mind for the art shirts this time, and working on a getting a draft. The first years graphic art shirts were a 4 on a scale of 1-10 if you ask me. Okay, but not good enough. We let a friend do them, and got what we got. We are shooting for a 9.5 next time, and i will be heavily involved in doing the shirts this time. The entire art and especially the cars have to look really good. They will next time if the guy I want to do them can do them for us.
I talked with the Peppermill Mgmt today. Should know more next week about whether or not they will have us back again next year. The problem is attendees did not use those PM cards, and they can't measure our gambling, etc. As for vendors, there is a LOT more involved with costs (very expensive), city permits, fire permits, checks/evaluations, licenses through the city for each vendor. It seems we'd have to price it very high for them to attend. Not really worth it for them or us. May pass on vendors in 2006. Personally, I'm not overly thrilled about having vendors. Need a real compelling reason to have big vendors and big big rigs at the Bash. Still can't see it, but not completely ruled out.
