Friend of mine a loooooong time ago had a cool coffee mug that said:

"If it goes left, it's a hook.
If it goes right, it's a slice.

If it goes straight, it's a f**king miracle!"

My bad. That was a horrible joke. I'll go sit in the corner with Larry for a few minutes and think about what I've done

Looks like CF is a bit more interested in listening to the input of the members now that their marquis even has been lost. Could turn into an interesting thread if they leave it open for a while.

I like this part...

Quote:
The future model, it appears, will be that the NCM wants groups such as Corvetteforum to take responsibility for their own agendas. They’ve even suggested that rotating our event to other locations around the country might be desirable.
So basically they are admitting that the NCM told them to take a hike. Nice.

Do you think someone should let Jim know the forum was began in 1999 not 2000. You'd think God would know that?

The rotating location idea was actually ours.

We plan to keep moving the Barnraising, but with it returning to the NCM every couple years.

We had a lot of fun, enjoyed plenty of good cooking from Roscoe and his crew and in the process raised some money for the NCM and St. Jude.
Until we kicked the NCM to the curb, and forgot the reason why we were there.
Quote:
We weren’t able to get participation from GM executives in Detroit. The economy took a nose dive. Gas prices soared. Etc., etc.
Excuses. Keep telling yourself that, cupcake.
Quote:
They’ve even suggested that rotating our event to other locations around the country might be desirable.
We got handed our walking papers
Quote:
That being the case, we have a blank canvas in planning for future.
We're getting desperate
Quote:
First, do you want to have a Cruise-In XIII and, if so, when and where do you want to have it? Some of you have complained in the past that Memorial Day weekend gets in the way of your family plans or that your Memorial Day weekend is Saturday through Monday, not Thursday through Saturday. Others have suggested that Bowling Green is too far for them to travel.
We don't wish to associate with those people whose group name rhymes with Darn or any other people that we ran off, some, never to return.
Quote:
Again, it’s a blank canvas, so let us know what you would like to do, when you want to do it and where you want to do it.
We screwed the pooch big time.
Help.
Please.

RIF. He didn't say the Corvette Forum started in 2000. He said Cruise In started in 2000.

But why let facts get in the way of your whining.
