Message From the King:

May 9 2009 was a lot of things to a lot of people but every 1 of our, very dedicated, staff who had a chance to talk to the participants had good things to say. Which isn't to say that we didn't have some issues but I think those issues were overshadowed by the great time we all had. Unfortunately I was stuck inside all day selling tickets to BOWZER'S RnR Party so I honestly didn't get a chance to see what was going on outside, dang it all! Let me assure the trophy winners that we are SINCERELY sorry for not fulfilling our promise to you. Sound check inside ran WAY too long, and by the time it was all said and done it was time for the 4:00 show. We WILL make things right. And that, my friends, is coming from my mouth so while it might take a few weeks to make things right, we will do just that.

Attendance was awesome for a 1st annual anything, so thanks for coming out. The weather poured on us Fri night and that could have chased some possible attendees away, but to all the many that did brave the wet roads and puddles, thank you. We sold our souls to Mephistopholies for a nice day, and almost on cue, as soon as the trophy confusion was all over, the rain clouds unleashed their next drippage on us. (Well not me, I was stuck inside all dang day). The 50/50 issue was an oopsie on our part. Someone neglected to write the amounts next to the winning #'s, so our Tammy had no idea what she was announcing. Speaking of announcing, we're looking for a new MC. don't worry, Tammy is still going to sing for us, but we need someone with a large bellowing voice to make announcements. She does too much for us as it is, so we're taking onsite auditions for an MC. Interested persons should contact us either by phone, email, or just show up at one of our events. I wanted the door prizes to be handled my way but, as I've said, I was stuck inside all day so I didn't get a chance to veto what happened there. The trophies are getting figured out and finally, our parking problem wasn't too bad when you consider we were 15 people short of a full crew. Which doesn't excuse us, only it serves to inform us of possible future issues. So, thanks for the info. We hear ya and we'll be ready next year!!

And now to all of our members/volunteers, we could NOT have pulled this off with out your help! So the biggest thanks go to you guys and gals who busted your humps for a day filled with fun.  I think our club has just about, no, the BEST people around. You all came in close to the end of this (through no fault of your own), but hopefully found your jobs relatively easy, and as the registration table did, thinking on the fly is a prerequisite.(Hey, we can't hold everyone's hand all the time, sometimes we all have to trust that things will work out and it does).

• Remember When
  Great group!! They'll be at Blockers on June 5th.

• The Razorbacks
  Rockabilly rules!!! Got many good reports from the crowd about 'em. So we'll try to get them back in 2010.

And these are just the ones that stuck out in my head. There were many others that performed all day too. Any one stick out in your head?? Let us know!!

You'll have to check Wolf Song Enterprises' website to find out their "take" on the day. They've been very busy with post production work so it might take 'em a few extra days to get something up their web site.

Finally, the East Penn PTO made close to $3,000.00. Not bad for a few hours work!!

I think that's about all I have to say about May 9, 2009. Thanks again to any and everyone and we'll see you, same time next year!!
