Aw shucks. There is a couple who will be attending the dinner party and sitting in the ticket block bringing a one-year-old and a three-year-old, so don't say never. We certainly have had a bunch of kids in the past. Sometime maybe I'll tell you about how it all evolved, there has been a bunch of trial and error, started out because I got inspired by far east wildcat in two thousand and thought it would be neat to get a bunch of fans together . Of course, I only do this in a location where I want to go see the game. Broke even or lost atiny bit of money a couple of times until I started building in a small profit margin to cover some overhead and pay for a little bit of my trip. It can be interesting trying to plan something in a city to which I have never been and do not know my way around, but by and large it has worked out. I tried some different things and finally decided on what works for me, Like if you attend you'll get a full meal not a snack. That's just the way it is. It might cost a couple bucks more but no one is forcing you to attend. I have been kind of fortunate to find some good locations and good food. I do take some pride in enabling some folks to meet each other and form some really good friendships that they might not have otherwise. I do really get a kick out of looking around and seeing 50 or more folks wearing purple sitting together at a game and feeling like I helped get them there. We will have over 70 at Duke. My record block was 220 at Boston College, but that was because a couple of groups wanted to join in my block. Mostly though it has been lunch or dinner parties. Anyway by and large I have enjoyed it although I am starting to get somewhat tired of the aggravation . Thank you for your very kind words.
