Is there going to be an airing of grievances, or am I confusing that win other festival?

Airing of grievances is what the Internet is for.

I think that there should be a showing of the 2011 NSC MN Stars fantasy camp match before the meeting.

As I indicated a while ago, I started an outline of the supporters activites over the course of the season. This may give us all an idea of the scale of our endeavors, and hopefully encourage participation among our supporters group.
As Brucio so rightly commented in an earlier thread when I broached the topic (paraphrased): lists are great, but we need people to do the actual work.
The season is rapidly approaching, and as we all know, the front office does not have money to spend on a huge advertising blitz for the Dome Opener. So hopefully we can do some guerrilla marketing to reach our target market.
Peace and futbol to you all, and I look forward to seeing many of you at the Supporters Summit when I return from Kazakhstan and the World Bandy Championships.

My friends and I went to most of the games last season, a few of us are always hungry for more. This will be a well deserved reprieve from the mundane off season.

I can't make the pre-season Summit this year. I'll be at a work event that evening that just happens to be located at the Excel Energy Center during the Wilds game. Scotia Girl will have to be my proxy.

A. Supporters Season Ticket Package 1. Membership Benefits: I think it would be great if DC had some sort of dues. It would help generate some revenue to by charcoal for tailgates, among other things.

yes, it will still be going on.
honestly, one of my biggest fears is that this meeting will never end. Why else would we have it in a hotel every year?

New Board elected, plenty of strong ideas and opinions, and great support from the team.
The season can't start soon enough.

The summit was going great until an argument between the Romney and Santorum camps turned into a fist fight. In the end we decided to back Gingrich.

I liked the write up.
Didn't see anything about the 2012 scarf.
What are the plans for that? Is it an open design contest again? Is there a deadline?

Supporters scarf is in the works. No contest because that takes to long. We're also looking into incorporating the Surly Bikes logo on there. Whoa. You actually had me a little scared. Then, I read this: I've also heard rumors of a LIVESTRONG sponsorship. Then I laughed my butt off. Well done gentlemen! Both of you got me on wonderful troll. This is why I love you guys. Thanks for getting back to me on the scarf. Sometimes the contests do take to long.

Surly really will likely have sponsorship on the DC scarf.
