Illinois Open Series Publicity

[CEValkyrie]

In efforts to pub this event, I figured i'd start this thread. It will help track what courses have flyers posted. Here is a link to the flyer. If anyone needs copies, I have a ton.

Jon, can you post flyers at Buffalo Grove, Elk Grove, Streamood, & Lombard when you get a chance?

Mirth might post flyers at both Highland Park courses & possibly Glencoe if he gets a chance.                

Can someone in Kenosha post a flyer @ UWP?

Damon is posting flyers at any course he plays & Mike Walsh, AKA airspuds is posting flyers along the I-80 area. Thanks DISContinuum South!!

If anyone wants flyers, I have them. I made 200 copies to start. Please let me know if there is a course that needs a flyer. I'll try to get one up ASAP. Thanks!!

I'm going to try to hit a few of these today and play a round at each. If anyone is in the area and wants to join me, my cell phone number is: two, two, four 588-7834.

I'll be in the Lombard area Tuesday on 'business' in the morning; planning on playing in the PM, if it's not pouring rain I'll at least get flyers up.

Jon, let me know if you made it there or not.

Not. I wound up playing a couple of rounds at BG and then it got really gusty. I put up two flyers at BG but didn't make it anywhere else.

Publicize this:

The Illinois Open Series is happy to announce that they've dumped their lame-ass Discraft-only merch supplier and are now working with a merch supplier who can meet your basic Innova needs.  We will have Orcs, Monsters, Beasts, Eagle, Valks, Vikes, Rocs, Aviars and maybe even some icky Spiders.  No, we will not have the 8X Whatever KC in the yellow plastic.  But we will have whats current for this season.  Plus plenty of Discraft and maybe a Gateway disc if you look hard.

[airspuds]

Brett,

Do you want to play Elk Grove and/or Streamwood with me on Saturday?

[Bruce Brakel]

Here's another little illinois open series development that some of you might care about:  We are not doing stacks of plastic this year.  Jon, Brett and I all think that for a tournament series funny money for the Ams is cool because you can spend it now or you can spend it later.  If you finish in a three-way tie for last prizes and get $4    you can save it for next time and get something with it.  If you win $50 you can save up for a Skill Shot.  

The main problem with funny money is that you put it in your wallet, play a round in a thunderstorm, and now you have funny paper pulp!       I don't want to take advantage of anyone that way.  It has happened to me and it kind of sucks.

So we are going to have special $1 and $5 brass coins [/size]for this event and every other Jon/Brett/Bruce event we do this year.  The people who have seen and felt [and flipped and spun] samples of these coins all think that the $5 coin may be cooler than anything you could buy with it!  The manufacturer's rep told me that small run coins similar to what we are doing sometimes become collectors items among token collectors and can sell for more than their face value.  I'm not counting on that, but the cool collectible factor might help defray the cost of this unique concept.  

This brass cash will be good all through 2004.  If the concept works the way we hope, the brass cash will get even cooler in 2005.  I'll have the real stuff in my greedy little hands in a week or two and then I'll toss a handful on the scanner and post a picture

I gotta hand it to you, bruce... You have come up with some pretty neat ideas but I think this one crowns them all!

[Bruce Brakel]

I gotta hand it to you, bruce... You have come up with some pretty neat ideas but I think this one crowns them all!

Thank you.  When I originally came up with this idea I thought over time we could work it to seize control of the international monetary system.    But then I sat down, took off the tin foil hat, did the math and realized that we really wouldn't have the monetary power to seize control of anything bigger than Jim's car.    

But, the idea is still cool.  It just needed to sit on the back burner until the year I'd be doing nine or ten tournaments.  Factored over nine or ten tournaments this costs about one entry fee at each event.  I hope that guy shows up every time!

This is one reason why I think the Brett-Bruce-Jon event leadership works. Bruce brings lots of imaginative ideas to the table. You can just imagine the ones that you and everyone else don't even hear about...if you know what I mean.    

[mirth]

Yeah, I can. Brett's told me some stories.

[D]

No, we will not have the 8X Whatever KC in the yellow plastic.

^ Haha, nice one

Brass cash sounds awesome, are they going to have a specific design on them or something? Just wondering what it's going to be, or is it still classified information?
