Touring the Galaxy
BAC expects to be represented at Sun-N-Fun from Monday April 7 (Rellihan on-site), through Monday April 14 (when the place folds up shop). The actual show begins on Tuesday April 8. Just for reference, Easter 2008 falls on Sunday, March 23.
Once again I am requesting volunteers for the BAC table in the Type Club Tent. Doug Muse will probably be putting out a volunteer schedule for us, as he did last year. We will need folks who can man the BAC table for at least one two-hour shift, on one or more days. Once again, I am hoping to be able to get a free SnF day ticket for anyone working a two-hour shift. If you can volunteer for a shift on each of three days, I hope to be able to get you a pass for each of those days. I know I can pick up the passes on Tuesday morning, though I will attempt to get them on Monday. I will also attempt to leave them in envelopes bearing names, at the Volunteer window of the Camping Entrance on Drane Field Road. If that doesn't work out, I'll get them to folks via cellphone hook-up and meets.
Doug is planning another BAC Dinner, tentatively for Friday night April 11. Probably at the same steak house as last year, if any of us can remember the name (new place). I know where it is, but....
The lawn chairs will be cabled to the big Live Oak tree at the NW corner of Hangar D (Garmin Hangar). This is very close to the Nature Trail route to the camping area. We had no banner on display last year (after having one up in 2005 and 2006). I would love to get something like a 30" x 60" vinyl banner that I could stake out next to the chairs. Alternatively, something like a 24" wide by 40" high vinyl banner with vertical layout, that I could bungee around the tree right above the chairs, would work great. The BAC name could be displayed in a vertical format (horizontal lettering). Even if there was insufficient room to show everything else on our standard banners, it would help identify the chair location from a distance.
I will be contacting Rick Koch about some copies of the latest BAC Talk for table hand-outs (and one I can place in a binder), plus whatever other trinkets the Board might wish to authorize for this year's BAC table. I still have the copies of early BAC Talk issues in the binders, and will have them on display as well. If there was any way possible to get the 2008 BAC Fest poster done, and available on 8x11 for handouts, that would be great, too. I think I still have some of the original batch of BAC post cards, but they have all begun to curl, etc.
Hope to meet a bunch of BAC members there, again this year! Get notes to me and to Doug Muse as soon as you can, if you can help man the BAC table. I'll have to get the roster back to the organizers within a week, in order to obtain the free tickets.
