Damn Lottery

Bad news: we didn't win the $179 million Powerball lottery jackpot last night.

Good news: No one else did either, and the pot is now $203 million.

I have some uses for dollar figures like that... :-)

The All Join Hands Foundation!

What? Whaaaaaaaat? [ducking]

Yeah, AJH would get a chunk up front instead of having to wait for me to die to collect it from my estate. I think it would be nice to, say, use AJH to fund a convention in which not a single dancer needed to pay a registration fee to attend.

Or bribe the organizers not to have a honky-tonk queen contest. :-)

Or I could use it to pay Rick Hawes' bar tab. :-) :-) :-)

I'm not sure twenny-odd million would be enough for that. Don't forget, you'd have to factor in all of the sexual harassment lawsuits that would ensue ...

Convention

Or hire pros to do ALL the work, so the clubs don't have to worry about learning from scratch. We still haven't decided if we will bid for 2011.

I dunno... GALA Choruses' quadrennial festivals have become bland & institutionalized since they chose to use in-house professionals only to produce them. Having the locals work on the conventions is exhausting but it does make for a better convention overall, I think.

And I do hope Atlanta does bid in 2011!
