Hey Punk, Do Ya Feel Lucky?

[NaCl_H2O]

I know what you're thinking: 'Did the BOD give away twelve tickets to the Seaworld Tour already, or only eleven?'

Well, to tell you the truth, in all the exciement of the SeaWorld Michael Paletta event, we have kinda lost track ourselves.

But being this is the biggest MAASTard event of the year, the most powerful speaker in MAASTardom, and the added tour will blow you away, you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya, punk?"

That's right MAASTards, your BOD has aranged for a "Behind The Scenes Tour" of the SeaWorld Coral Reef exhibit! :o ... and it’s FREE!

Whoa, wait a minute, not all of you at once AHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Ok, let’s get this under control and keep the crowd small. Besides, SeaWorld wil only let a small group in anyway. :(

Here is the deal, If you have already pre-paid for the Paletta event (We know who you are!), or if you pre-pay via paypal (treasurer@maast.org) before this Sunday at 12:00 noon, your name will be placed into a lottery to be selected as one of twelve lucky MAASTards for the behind the scenes tour! :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :w00t <-Last one is you ;)

So, pull that crumpled up $5 bill out of your pocket (two of 'em if you aren't a charter member <_<) and PRE-PAY NOW!

That is, if you feel lucky punk!

When will the lucky winners be anounced?

[NaCl_H2O]

When will the lucky winners be anounced?

Late Sunday, we have to give SeaWorld the list of Names on Monday.

Two more details I forgot to mention :blush

The tour will be BEFORE the event and last about 30-45 minutes. An exact start time will be announced later.

[jroescher]

Maybe someone will take a camera for us unlucky ones. If SeaWorld will allow pictures behind the scenes.

Ok MAASTards, only two more hours then we pick the names! If you haven't pre-paid already do it now so you get a chance at a spot on the "Behind the scenes tour" :)

We are going to draw each ticket individually, meaning your "Guest" could win and you might not :unsure Then I will post the results. If your Guest wins and you don't, you could always tell them they didn't win & you did :skeezy, unless they browse MAAST that is :lol

Be prepared to confirm your ability to attend quickly, we need to get these names to SeaWorld tomorrow!!! If you can't attend, we will draw another name from the lotto!

Good Luck .............. Drum roll please ..............................

LMAO - So, who will be the first to auction their spot on Ebay :lol

[Undead_Incorporated]

OK you guys & gals...just spoke with SeaWorld....they are requesting the full names of those on the tour (prob for security reasons) - I must have them by the end of tomorrow (Tuesday). I am still lacking confirmations on the following people....there will be NO cameras allowed on the "Behind the Scenes" tour - but you may have them at the Paletta event itself. There will also be beverages & snacks available for the Paletta event.

rocketeer & your guest....CONFIRMED
brewercm - CONFIRMED
bigdscobra's guest - sent PM
Polkster13 - CONFIRMED
Blonde Michelle - sending PM

Let me hear from you soon... :)

Again...you must be there at 5:45 for the tour. If you cannot make it, pls let us know so we can take the next person on the list. Thanks.

[watered_down]

I don't see why not! You must have done something really bad & need extra brownie points ;)

so no cameras? i'll bring a sketch pad then, thats legal isn't it?

~Brandy. M.

[cpreefguy]

Approximately how long will the tour be?

[Sherri]

Brandy...I prob wouldn't bring the sketchpad...you'll be moving around. Besides, SeaWorld is very security oriented, so I wouldn't "push their buttons." hehe And I believe you on the racking up the points. Glad you are able to go. You're just gonna have to soak up what you see in your brain! ;)
