Okay, so the Secret Password was a dumb idea. I had a few hearty laughs out of it, though.

Maybe Anthony could make some tank tops for the ladies with VIOL on the front and the "Haven't I seen you on the forum?" on the back.

I love my forum shirt but it is pretty heavy and I get too hot to wear it.

People use flags at Jazz Fest to indicate where they are in the crowd. I think a flag is a great idea! First one to the Beach Bar collects the flag and sticks it in the sand! It could say VIOL!

How about "mmmmmm....cheesecake"? Or if we're looking for RickG we can say "mmmmmmm...bacon". Non-forumites might think we're strange, but it probably won't get us punched by some jealous spouse. :D

I agree with X. The forum shirts are heavy but the idea of the koozies is a good one. I'm thinking of cutting my shirt down. It's a little big for me.
Thought some of you might like to join a group of "old" AOL posters who get together every year. This year we are meeting at the Toad and Tart on STT on Aug. 12th. There will be a BBQ at the cost of $15pp. If you think that you might like to come let me know so we can make a firm reservation.
Until then, I'll see some of you at the Beach Bar on the 3rd and the 10th. I'll have my Heinkens in my Koozie.

I am working on some ideas with Ruth for a new ladies shirt. Unfortunately it may not happen until I am home - which is looking like mid-August right now.

Tin foil hats should do the trick.

Does that mean you'll be on STJ until then?

Ruth, you are brillant and so right. I actually didn't go to the Beach Bar gathering when I was there in May because I didn't want to wander around wondering if there was anyone else there and thinking 'which ones are and which ones aren't and how do I know'?

A flag could work but you'd need to be able to pick up some identifying thing like a glow in the dark braclet or badge or something like that. How about something as simple as a box of stick-on ID badges and a marker sitting on a chair or table or on the bar with a marker/pen. If you're a forumite you write your forum name and real name on the badge to identify yourself. Would the Beach Bar go for something like that? It would seem to me that they would since the gathering brings them business. What do you think?

Hi Ruth,Anthony and Friends,
What about a button or forum pin like Congress :D ! No Forum button please keep moving. Oh maybe the little rascal's high sign?

Stay well Gene !

Maybe Ruth could sell the glow in the dark bracelets at St John Spice and we could pick them up to wear. They were a big hit when theshopper brought them. Even if it was not really dark yet, we would still spot the bracelet.

I was thinking bracelets too. Those rubbery ones like Lance Armstrong's live strong yellow bands, the Soggy Dollar Bar's blue ones; you get the idea. Or maybe we should all wear Hawaiian lai's or something to the gathering. Ali~
