What I'm saying is that if they want front row to show their wears if they were a club sponsor then I don't believe anybody would have issue with it. The way I see it some people seem concerned that they will get pushed to the back of the lot because of this.
And I guess the the 20+ pounds of potato salad that I make from scratch every year , shopping ,cooking, putting into trays, utensils to serve , a pop up , extra chairs, and getting at least two spots per year, hell two years in a row I donated food and didn't even stay because I had other commitments ! Not looking for a pat on the back really don't care because its what I do for the club !
Let's clean up the thread and take it to PM if anyone wants to discuss it any further with me. To say I'm disappointed in how this was "spun" is an understatement, especially after your post below. Complaining now because Anthony thought we locked up 8 front spots and it's literally 2 as you can see was uncalled for and you jumped on the train and went full speed ahead without having the facts straight. Anthony has my personal cell #, I've talked to him multiple times in the past few weeks and he'd be the last guy to not voice his thoughts on something directly to me. He'd also do it in a respectful manner as we're both grown adults and not throw comments in like "your boy" and congrats he can get a loan. I'm sure the folks that attended in the past appreciate the food and effort that you donate to the event, i know it's a lot of work. To have to sit here and defend my decision on something so minor that is for the better of the club financially has taken even more of the little bit of excitement that i have left about our dream cruise event right out of me. Anywho, with that said we're about a month out and have 17+ spots left to fill, let's get it wrapped up and spread the word! I look forward to seeing everybody!

I appreciate all the work you put into it Nick, and look forward to this years event.
I'll say this though, just like at Steve's Simple Mortgage lot, if you want to pick a specific spot, then plan on arriving early to guarantee a better selection of parking spots. I'll be bringing my pop-up again, and camping it out on the "public" spots for us so we have a shaded are for cruise watching. I'll throw down and help with some cooking as well to free up your time to enjoy the cruise Nick. Last year was a blast, and I look forward to this year again.
I see no issue with the 4 spot request especially if they do like others liked, and take the corner spots, even the two corner end spots, and two of the "public" street spots, then they can set up tables. and be on the street for better viewing. I would rather have us do like last year, and have a bunch of chairs and tables in the public row, so we have an unobstructed view of the cruise without random people parking their. Maybe move the porto-potty a few spots away from the street to prevent public users from dropping and using it, but not too close to the cooking area.
Any news from your contact with the owner and P.D. regarding getting the boot at the end of the cruise? I know you said our contract has us Friday till Sunday, is the P.D. on board with that? I'm down for standing our ground this year peacefully if we have a swat-type occurrence again.
Thanks again for all your work Nick!
