NE/IA Get Together POSSIBLE NEW DATE AUG 14

[mrobinson]

Its come to my attention that a few people have sent Larry Kosch money to help defray the costs for this party.. That is not nessasary and I was unaware this was even taking place until just now.. Please contact Larry for a refund of your money ASAP as it looks like it will be byob and held in the evening so it'll be a chips dip sorta thing if it even happens.

The money was used for a gift actually. At least I think so... :?

I was unaware of any of this and since I am the one putting the party together I assure you there was never going to be a gift giving segment.

I know Larry had wonderful intentions but I would have never asked for money donations unless a ton of people were coming to help defray the cost of food. Since it will be BYOB it wasn't nessasary. At any rate I am requesting that Larry return the money to the people who sent it.

Request and Regrets

Mel,

Per your request, I have started the process of returning the donations to the persons that sent me the monies. I am sorry that I have upset you in your party planning, etc. I was just trying to help you out, etc.

I do have a regret to pass along to you. I found out today at work that my schedule for next weekend has been changed. I will have to do a double shift (ouch!) next Saturday, the 14th. That means I will have to be at work from 6 a.m. until 10 p.m. on that day. Even if I went home after work, changed clothes and drove at warp speed to Omaha, it will be well after 11 p.m. before I get to your party.

I am very, very sorry to tell you that I will not be able to attend. I have been looking forward to your party and was hoping to meet you and other storm chasers in the area. BTW, that means I will not be able to bring up that VCR that we were going to play storm chase videos on. Looks like you will have to find someone else...

Right now I feel so bad and so small, I'm going to dig a hole and bury myself for a couple of weeks. I might even take off on that vacation to Colorado I've been planning. Again I'm sorry Mel. :cry:

Why can't we just push things back a few weeks, especially since some of us are stive actively chasing. Sometime in early September, maybe?

Regards,

Mike

I'm really cool with that.. This is the season that never ends

 

[Mike Hollingshead]

So when is our official new date then?

New date...

Hey guys,
I also like the idea of pushing the date on this party back some. I've got a couple of things going on this weekend in Denver which would make it too tight a call for me to make any committments for this weekend--but I'd still really like to attend! Basically, I'm fine with changing the date on our get-together (not sure when, but my schedule's fairly flexible after the next couple of weekends).
Mel & Larry: for the record, Larry had only good intentions in collecting donations for the party. He & I had discussed gathering donations for a little surprise for you, Mel, as a "Thank You" gift. Contributions were to be given as just a little cash at the party after he bought the gift & gave it to you, but somehow word leaked on that & our little plan backfired in the wrong way. Personally, I'm still all for that idea.
Anyway, I'll wait 'til we have a better idea of when we can do this.
See u all soon,
Jon

*YAWN* And your point is...?

Why not Sept 4? Nebraska plays a scrub and the only person watching that game will be Dan Cook anyway? Otherwise the best dates will be:

Oct 23
Oct 30
Nov 13

These will be dates the Huskers will have their rear ends handed to them with second helpings. :twisted:

Regards,

Mike
