That looks good to me. We can have a bottle share that Friday nite at the brewhouse.

Great lineup, I like that you threw Crisp in there.
Looks good. Can't wait.

Awesome.
Are we still giving our hard earn money to High Dive, even after they have double billed us in the past. And don't get me going on the wait staffs shitty attitudes...
They were very helpful and attentive last year, even let us reserve tables beforehand.

Will there be a new Wing King, or will Frankie retain his crown??

If you say so Pete... Idk, I just remember how they treated us like shit when we had our wing nights there, hence why we moved to Cobra...
Not that I'm applying for wing queen of anything, (I eat them like a bird, no pun intended), but what does the crown entail? Is it most wings consumed or hottest? This is going to be fun... !
Last year it was most wings consumed by the end of Thursday.

Can we get a Facebook graphic and announce the wing counts everyday at noon? I think we do a great job for promoting the hell out of our parties, but activities like this can also attract new members since the barrier to entry is super low and takes place over 6 days.
We did a good job of plugging it on the forum last year, but think this can help showcase all the awesomeness we partake in.
If you need a FB graphic, I can make one, just let me know. I assume you just need a banner for the event header, right?
We can change our FB Page and for the Event....since both are Stout & Chili night currently.
I have a bunch of pics from last years carnage. I can send them to an FB admin to post in an album on FB. I can only post one at a time in the timeline

Ken, should I create the Facebook invite or is someone else in the club going to create that?
Benji...are you running the whole deal? If you are I can just make you a facebook admin so you can. Let me know.
Pete is also running it too. Though being an Facebook Admin would help.
But any social media help would be great too. I don't do a lot of that type of stuff.
If you need any graphic needs, let me know, I'd be happy to help.
My tiara is up for grabs. I am taking it easy this year. At least that is what I want you all you upstarts to think.
At the meeting on Sunday we talked about creating Wing Week 2014 t-shirts. If Nancy can create them, I have a friend that can create them. Is there interest?
I vote yes for the shirts.

I can design something. Is this a 1 color or multi color screen print, and do you have a screen print vendor you already work with? Also, what is the turn-around time for production of the shirts?
Also would you want this to be date/year specific, or more generic so that you could sell them again next year, incase there is surplus?
We can do color, business is (http://www.shirtprinting4u.com/). He is a personal friend and can turn these around pretty quickly. Ignore whatever prices are on the website as I will work with him directly and get it just above cost.
I vote yes for the shirts. On Wednesday Pete and I are going to try Mahoney, (551 N Ogden Ave, Chicago) around 6:30 to decide whether we are going to go there on Wednesday or 5 Star. Anyone who wants to help decide or just want to enjoy some wings should come on by. We can also discuss any other ideas or issues regarding wing week at the same time.

I wouldn't bother mentioning the year on the t-shirts.
