Okay, guys rack your brains. Send this link to all of your friends asking them to join our group and we will shatter the 100 member mark in NO time. All you have to do is forward this link and urge them to join our group of Classic Nickelodeon fans and supporters: http://tv.groups.yahoo.com/group/A_New_Beginning_for_Classic_Nickelodeon/-Grant

[New Beginning] RE: 19 Away & Fan Meet Sent: Sun 3/07/10 12:31 AM
Grant, I wish all of our members were as on fire as you are. If they were then there would be no stopping us; and actually make that 17, we have two new members today.
And as much as I hate to be a wet blanket on your enthusiasm I have to say that I don't want people to just go out and just invite anyone to join us. I want people here who love and remember Classic Nickelodeon like we do. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have over 100 members and I believe that we'll have them sooner than we think.
But remember I send out 50 invitations a day for people to join us and look how many we've had join. We've had 26 new people join this group since I started doing that. But what good will it be for us to reach 100 members if no one ever talks?
Yes a few of us do post regularly, but what about everyone else? As I said the other day we've got people on this list who have been here since almost the first day we opened and have never said a word. And to be flatly honest now is not the time to be so quiet we NEED to start talking about this fan meet and how many of you are planning on coming b/c I DON’T want to have to cancel it like I did last year.
I was going to save this for another email but I’ve already been on the phone with Dave Coulier’s agent about having him do his stand up act at the local college so that we, as the fan meet group, will be able to go see him for free as part of the weekend events. And I’ve been on the phone with the lady at the college about having them host the concert for us.
Marty Schiff, who also stared in “Out Of Control” with Dave, said that he wants to come and IF IF IF she says yes there is a chance that someone will be here with a few of the Pinwheel puppets!!!!!!!!! Do yall realize how huge that is??? THE PINWHEEL PUPPETS, that’s pretty huge.
Now of course at this point IDK if they will say yes or not but I’m going to call the lady back this week and find out. Just the other day I was at the store buying a few things for decorations for the room. And I’m also going to physically go to the hotel to talk to the guy in charge and see what banquette room they’re going to let us use and talk to him about all the arrangements SO NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO KEEP SILENT!!!
Please believe me when I tell you that there is not a day that goes by that I’m not thinking about this fan meet and worrying that no one will show up. I know the economy is bad, don’t even get me started, but yall said that if I planned this that you would be here for it come hell or high water. So that’s why I keep bring it up so that yall can start planning and saving your money NOW.
Oh by the way, did I tell you that the OFFICIAL DATE for the fan meet is October 1-3 so mark your calendars then help me pray that both the fan meet will be successful and that Dave’s concert will sell out b/c if they don’t I’m on the hook for it. And I don’t have $95 hundreds. Hell I don’t even have the money to pay for the banquette room and that’s only $200, that’s why this year I’ll have to sell tickets for it…….
