A good ole' TEXAS Chili Cook-off w/celebrity judges sounds good to me!
Doesn't the hotel really want to cater a meal though? Just wondered. Sounds fine to me, just thought we'd see...yet again, no word from the hotel contact over the weapons and such...
Much more fun. From the standard panel/event functions...seems it all could use a bit more livening up.
Heck...Put a judge's gallery up front, or scattered about.... then have a limited # of general Populus wonder thru to sample....Charge a $2.00 - $3.00 chili sampling fee, this may fill the hotel's requirement for a banquet...the $$ would go into the banquet kitty ...for them to supply tables, linen and such. May even cover costs of decorations/disposable plates/napkins/spoons....water/pop?
Why not put some more breaks into the schedule....do some walk-about/tech - fan stuff, so everyone has time to mingle and not
just be hopping from one room to another to hit all the detailed tech
stuff. Kinda build a little spontaneity into it.
Heck...we could do up the space a bit and have some country-twangy music going....
...no. Just....no.
