Networking Event/Party... (sign-up)

Kristie · September 21st, 2008, 19:56

Our main networking event (we're calling it a "party" this year) is going to be held on Monday night so we can use the AV equipment (laptop, projector, speakers, microphones etc).

It'll start at 7 and go until 12. There will be 4 hrs of open bar but this year...EVERYONE will be leaving the premises at the end of the evening and we will all need to watch out for those who imbibe too much...remember that this is a networking event and impressions DO count. i don't want the event to end up like last year, it seriously scared the *poop* out of me!! hopefully I'm making myself clear

Anyways...back to describing the fun... 4 hrs of open bar, cash bar after that... we'll have some good munchies there like mini croissant sandwiches, wings, chips/salsa, veggie plates and more as well as a cake (as far as i know, we have one birthday in the house, let me know if we have more)

Hopefully enough fat/grease for everyone as the drinks are flowing.

We were thinking of holding a "learning lesson" using flight sim and shots but not really sure that's a hot idea..it'd be more like using a few people to simulate how alcohol affects the body "in flight". If you think that would be advantageous, let us know...

we're open to using the AV equipment for Karaoke or DJ type of thing....I don't really what would be best yet or how many would like to do Karaoke...to be honest, i'm open to suggestions on how best to use the AV equipment.

Mike (Mpenguin) has enough marketing products to do goodie bags again this year for anyone that wants one. Those who do.. please list yourself in this thread so we can make sure you get one. Goodie bags typically have marketing information, pens, stickers, info about Boeing planes as well as other marketing information from Boeings subsidiaries and clients. You can only pick these up at the Capt. Haynes Event or this event.

I think that's really about it....Any questions, let me know.

You can put Winnie down as well . . .

I will volunteer to try to sim and drink. I have not really ever had that much at JC and this sounds like a great excuse to do it. I have a designated escort back to my room

Qgar · September 21st, 2008, 21:30

Sounds like fun!

So, do you want me to play "Den Mother?"

Kristie · September 21st, 2008, 21:41

No... i usually take care of that! Thanks though!

However, if you want to help, i could use some help at the registration table

Qgar · September 21st, 2008, 21:58

I'd be happy to help with the registration table, Kristie!

N826AW · September 21st, 2008, 22:20

I'll be there. I'm getting so excited its hard to put into words.

Brian Z · September 21st, 2008, 22:27

Sheana and I will be there.

slushie · September 22nd, 2008, 01:33

Woohoo! a "party!"

and yes, I always like free branded merchandise!

juxtapilot · September 22nd, 2008, 04:39

Are the under 21ers (i hope I'm not the only under 21er..) permitted to attend this function?

H46Bubba · September 22nd, 2008, 11:02

Nona and I will be there! I'm in for some drunk simming!

even if it's fake

Kristie · September 22nd, 2008, 17:09

that's up to them, i know nothing about it (the minute i do is the minute they get bounced out of the party)...i'd have no choice as doug and I aren't taking responsibility (or going to jail) for anyone's "mistakes" and as pilots, we all know those mistakes can cost you.

just practicing . . . I don't use this very well

Kristie · September 22nd, 2008, 17:17

i know... but you know me... gotta make sure my foots put down so there's proof just in case someone does decide to be stupid for a meer second. HAHA

granted, the hotel will probably look the other way (they normally do) but it can always come back to whomever hosted the party

juxtapilot · September 22nd, 2008, 17:34

I won't shave before the party. Maybe they won't card.

TheShortOne · September 22nd, 2008, 20:50

Haha i'll be right there with you boss. Except, i'll probably look older than 1/3 of the guys there that ARE legal.

People always tell me how terrible it would be to be hairy, and then they all shut up when i get to the casino and dont get carded while they do.

Agreed.

I'll kick it there with you though mang. Most experiences i had with an open bar at a hotel is that if it's in a private room, they're pretty chill. Just as long as they cant be seen by public...

I hated coming back from new zealand where the laws are 18 to drink....

We'll chill. I hated returning to the USA, to age 21 rules and expensive soju.

Dazzler · September 23rd, 2008, 11:09

Wifey and I will be there.

SeanD · September 23rd, 2008, 13:06
