Snarley Bill Posted October 10, 2008 Author #14 Posted October 10, 2008 Don't forget the beer I know dry county but lots of time for a work arond ? i promise everyone beer will be plentiful, or you can burn me at the stake. you beer drinkers lucked out. don picked a beer drinker to head this rally up. :clap2:
duke Posted October 11, 2008 #15 Posted October 11, 2008 ????? Are you saying that the HUB is in a dry County?
tomephil Posted October 11, 2008 #16 Posted October 11, 2008 ????? Are you saying that the HUB is in a dry County? Hopefully, not while we are there.
Snarley Bill Posted October 11, 2008 Author #17 Posted October 11, 2008 it is a dry county. but we have that covered. not to worry.
gibvel Posted October 11, 2008 #18 Posted October 11, 2008 Okay, all this talk about "dry county" has got me wondering... (and don't take this the wrong way or personally or anything like that) If it were a dry county and you couldn't get beer (alcohol) would that really affect you? Would you have less fun? Would you have no fun? Would you even consider not coming to the rally because you have to have the stuff to have fun? If it were a law that you couldn't bring any alcohol into the county would you consider breaking the law and smuggling some in? Not insinuating that anyone is an alcoholic or anything like that. I understand that lots of people like having a beer or 2 at the end of the day or whenever but do you consider a function LESS fun or LESS enjoyable by not being able to have an alcoholic beverage? Used to drink myself in college but I rarely, if ever, drink now a days. I just don't understand all the concern with the county being dry and the assurance having to be made that there will be alcohol there. Please take this with the spirit intended and don't get offended by my desire to know the way some of you think about this.
Snarley Bill Posted October 11, 2008 Author #19 Posted October 11, 2008 i think the dry county thing on here was meant to be kind of a joke. but it is something that has to be adressed. for the people that like to have a cold one, like me, and alot of others, we have it covered, i don't care for soda or iced tea. but i happen to like the taste of beer, and so do alot of others. like i said this meet is for everyone so everyone should have what they want. the beer situation was an issue and it will be legally taken care of. we will not be breaking any laws. the owners of the hub have informed me of what can legally be done and we will do everything within the law. i have been to alot of venture meets where there was alchohol present and have never seen anyone over do it yet. i trust the members on here to be more intellegent then that. did'nt want the beer issue to turn into a major thing of importance so before it does i just wanted to clear it up. there are certain rules the hub has and if everyone follows them we will have no problems. when i went to vogel the last two years we were in a dry county. lots of people had alchohol and there were no major problems. hope this clears thingds up a bit. bill
duke Posted October 11, 2008 #21 Posted October 11, 2008 Sorry Bill I guess I shouldn't have joked about "dry county". Forgot how sensitive some people are. So I shouldn't bring up smoking......
Snarley Bill Posted October 11, 2008 Author #22 Posted October 11, 2008 Sorry Bill I guess I shouldn't have joked about "dry county". Forgot how sensitive some people are. So I shouldn't bring up smoking...... not a problem. we do have a 25 acre paved smoking area under the stars. just a joke, really. i think we are going to have all the bases covered. the committee is going to do it's best to make everyone happy, and see to it that every one has a great time. i think before it's over i'm going to find out what it's like to be president.
gibvel Posted October 12, 2008 #23 Posted October 12, 2008 Sorry Bill I guess I shouldn't have joked about "dry county". Forgot how sensitive some people are. So I shouldn't bring up smoking...... Hold on, not sensitive, just wondered why people seemed to have a cow about dry counties and not being able to get their booze. Didn't realize that you were joking, and that's part of what was behind the question. It's all good... as long as nobody goes drinking and then riding.
Squidley Posted October 12, 2008 #24 Posted October 12, 2008 Bill, I'm quite proud of you buddy, that snarly aspect of your persoanlity is subsided very well. Your post are now very informative and eloquent in a Snarly Bill way. Your doing a fine job as the head organizer of our '09 rally....good job Bud
DragonRider Posted October 12, 2008 #25 Posted October 12, 2008 (edited) Well, that never stopped anyone from having fun at Vogel, and that was in a dry county.............Right Dan.......... {quote=wpredock;260882] When i went to vogel the last two years we were in a dry county. lots of people had alchohol and there were no major problems. hope this clears thingds up a bit. bill Okay, all this talk about "dry county" has got me wondering...
