My Indian name is "Pants On Fire"
Earlier today I was speaking to FJRforum member, quicksilver & telling him about my experience from last year when I approached 3 different vendors about donating to EOM's door prizes. Out of those 3 vendors, I was offered 1 gallon of bike washing concentrate. Needless to say, I decided that it would be more trouble to carry it to Boone than I wanted to deal with. So, I didn't go back to pick up the bike wash to take with me.
I was told by this member that "you probably suck at begging for door prizes because you expect the vender to say "no" when you ask for a donation".
Well Brent, you're probably right.
In light of that situation, I am asking for door prize help. Brent & a couple of other kind souls did last year's collecting & did an absolutely stupendous job. Some of the items were actually custom made (you go Jarmo) I'm hoping that I can get some people together to gather even more cool goodies this year.
I went thru a previous EOM thread & found the names of people who had offered to help when the help was needed.
These folks are: Grumpy, jwilly, RoadGlide, Metcalfe1963 & Violione. See, I told you I was comin' lookin' for ya's.
If anyone (even if you're not on this list) can offer some help in this department, the FJR community will be forever indebted to you (& me too). If individuals choose not to help... that's ok, too.
I'm trying to get ducks in a row. I don't think that the door prize collection needs to start tomorrow or even next month... but I'd like to know who these people will be. Maybe we can discuss the vendors to beg from, etc.
Anyone else that has an item they'd like to throw into the door prize pot, please do so. We had some really cool bike oriented gadgets/tools that were left in someones garage that were donated last year.
I plan to try my local vendors again. Maybe I should try a different approach this time,
