Greetings basers
As some of you know, I feel that it would be awesome if Kingston had a reason for fans to return after the unforgettable MMP tour closer. Ideally I would love to see a permanent museum, and I firmly believe the Bathouse should be a national historic site, but those are massive undertakings. Starting small seems far more prudent.
The initial event I had in mind was a place for fans to share stories, collectors to display their memorabilia and a local "tour" experience visiting the many locations with significant "HipStory"
Apart from that, I thought there may be a benefit to have additional games/activities so that there was something for everyone.
The first things that came to mind were a "HIPardy" game show contest and a "final exam" attendees could write to test their knowledge of the band. Also a "LIVEbrary" bootleg station to share the wealth of recordings that many casual fans are unaware of.
Other potential fundraising activities:
Putts Wigglin - mini golf tournament for the less serious golfers, a round of golf at a Kingston or Bath course for those interested in 9/18
The loney end of the rink - ball hockey and Base, too - three pitch softball mini-tournaments. Both for fun (not full contact or intense competition) with Hip-themed team names/uniforms
- Tragically Chips poker tournament. Enter with a donation, competing for prizes (not cash!)
If this event comes to fruition, what would you want it to look like? What should or shouldnt be included? Please share any suggestions or comments that cross your mind.
