Just sayin'... I got an idea!

OK, so Im sure by now everyone has seen Toombes' "Just sayin..." thread - and if you havent, do so now because this is where my idea started.
After reading his thread, I decided to help out with Danny's issue in a way that would suit us both - we are currently in the process of him designing my first-ever tattoo's! Designing it is one thing, but Ive also decided that if Im gonna let anyone jab an inky needle in my arm 189-billionty-teen (shout out to my eldest daughter, circa 2 years old) times, its going to be Danny as he is a trusted BOTL as well as a talented artist (if you havent checked out his "Just playing with ink" thread, now would be an appropriate time to do so).
Its a ten hour drive between the two of us, so Im almost certainly going to have to do this on a three day weekend and Labor Day is coming up. While kicking the thought around, I had an interesting idea...
What if it wasnt just me that did this?
What if it was a BUNCH of us?
And what if we turned it into a big azz herf & BBQ, and made Danny tattoo as many of us who wanted tattoos, until his hand fell off? :-)
Toombsey and I think this is a great idea, and thought we would throw it out there to see what response to such a thing would be. Yes, I know its a holiday weekend and yes, I know some of us would have to travel a good bit of distance to attend. But here are the high points:
1) Its a holiday weekend herf with a bunch (hopefully!) of BOTL - we would all get to meet and party together! Plus, with it being a couple months away, we've all got time to plan and budget for it.
2) Kentucky BBQ and Im guessing whiskey and beers too - need I say more?
3) If you've ever wanted a tattoo, or wanted MORE tattoo's - well, we've got a truly talented artist at our disposal.
4) Everyone in attendance will get the opportunity to laugh at and make fun of me while I get my first ever ink, likely wailing like a teething child the whole while.
5) If you decide to get inked, your tattoo dollars go to one of our very own BOTL in a time of need for him.
6) We all go home happy. :-)
Thats as far as we've gotten in our musings ladies and germs, the rest of the logistics (accomidations, food, drinks, etc) will have to be worked out, but we've got plenty of time to do so. So what do you think? My sorry azz is gonna be in Campton KY on Labor Day weekend - who's gonna come party with me & Toombsey? :-)

Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.
Just throwin it out there. ;-) This has got the chance to be EPIC, and I very much want to meet as many of you as I can.
You're getting the chance to meet me, isn't that enough...?!?
Your request shall be taken into consideration and voted upon by the council. Lord Camacho and Baron Viaje are not to be trifled with, young lady...
Roughly three hrs, give or take a potty break. If you're thinking about coming for the herf, drive up to Piqua and snag my cousin Mike and drag his sorry aZZ with ya!
Anyone who thinks that they may want some ink please PM me with your design ideas so I can start working on them. I'll send a copy of the artwork beforehand so changes can be made. It will go much quicker if I can have the stencils made before you get here. JHewey, I've almost got yours done and will forward you a copy. Sniper, yours is in the works too.
I really hope we can make this work and that it could possibly turn into an annual thing. Maybe it could be a rotating herf with a new destination each year. And just for verification, his is not all about me because I lost my job and Glen wants to help put a few coins in my pocket. This is about the Brotherhood/Sisterhood getting together to smoke some awesome cigars, having a few drinks, eating some good food, slinging a little ink and generally getting to meet the anonymous faces behind the avatars so we can have a grand old time! I'm looking forward to seeing my BoTL/SoTL on Labor Day!
All that being said, for the heinous crime of asking silly questions, you are hereby compelled to bring an 8X10 photo of your brother with you & TJ to the herf, so we can put it up in a place of honor so he may symbolically herf with us in spirit if not in actual person.
Pretty please? :-D

GGGGGGGGGG!!!
Lasabar AND Jiunn in the same place at the same time? This would be the very definition of AWESOME! The state of Kentucky may very well not survive such a thing but hey - what a way to go, eh? :-)
Well, Glen, like they say... Attack life, it's gonna kill you anyway! We'll give it a He11 of a run on the way out!
BTW, Lasabar, I fixed your post for ya!
