We have done work on the Dallas Cowboys network at the old stadium and at the Valley Ranch location. (not at the new stadium)

At Valley Ranch, the door we come through takes us down the hallway with the long window that looks into the training room where the cheerleaders practice... and some of their practice outfits are skimpier than the game outfits :)

I could see if we can get a cheerleader at a discount... though how much off the $2000.00 daily fee we can save I don't know... I just can't see us making back that $2000.00 with ashmire showing up...


We can get a Hooters waitress at a 10th of that....and she'll look just as hot, AND be much dumber.  This is Dallas, any random girl in the mall looks Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader quality....

Ya know, we keep talking about this, how great it would be, how cool it would be, how awesome it would be, etc....  Even if we just hired one or two Hooters-like girls to welcome people as they entered, serve snacks, roll our dice, Vanna the auction items, it couldn't be that expensive.  And it would be something we'd remember for the rest of our lives.  

I think it's time to put up or shut up.  Let's find out how expensive per person it would be, come up with a reasonable job description, and have a thread poll asking Con participants if spending X amount of $$$ would be worth it, and have options of one, two or three days of the Con.  Or are we just talking? :?:

We could invite Barney and Mr. Muscle-guy as well as a couple of Hooters girls too.  That way, everyone would be happy.  And then they could all mud wrestle!!  I'd love to see Barney get the crap beat out of him.  :twisted:

Yeah, I feel sorry for you, interviewing all those prospective employees.  "And what qualifies you to serve at the NTRPGCON?" :twisted:

Not to sound like a prude or anything but this is a stupid idea :?

Stick to bringing in more games.  |Anyone wanting to see the Hooters girls can go there and eat (or whatever)

Ok,

We are not going to have some bimbos at the Con, I think it's just all "guy talk" and wishful thinking.

We might have a female helping out checking with DMs during games to see if they need a snack, soda etc. She will walk around the various tables and rooms (since not all tables are in the same room) to check with the DMs... she is not a waitress nor will she be taking orders from the snack bar.. though she might for players at the 2 remote rooms.. but will cater to teh DMs while they are DMing.

She will be fully clothed.

This is a family event, even if 99% of the people that show up are males over 18...

I actually think this is a good idea.  I apologize for any trouble I caused.  I was being devilish for some reason.  Not that I should really have a vote anyway.  I didn't come last year, and I might not make it this year.  Carry on. :oops:

Sorry guys just having a bit of fun. As Doug said, we may have someone of the female persuasion helping us with various stuff (simply because Doug and I will be insanely busy). One thing we wanted to have last year but couldn't was more help keeping the various DMs in drinks and snacks as they DM'd, so they could concentrate on the game at hand.  This year with all the added room, it will be tougher than before for a DM to avail himself of the free drinks and snacks (while they are DMing) and we were looking for some way to help us out a bit here. Ditto with the checking in responsibliites, we would love to have someone who can take over that chore with minimal fuss, leaving Doug and I for weightier duties.

So hopefully we can find a reasonably presentable young lass who isn't totally freaked out by rotund older men wandering around saying things like "I shouldn've brought my woodie!" or "I prefer BFRP systems to LL or S&W, although I'll always be a OD&D man at heart" willing to help us out for a modest sum.

The bimbos we'll save for the after-party at the "Twin Peaks" eatery down the lane....

I'm glad to see we've gotten past all of this peurile fantasizing about surgically enhanced females. Time to get back to the proper fantasizing about killing goblins and slaying dragons.

But...Doug, that place looks like a lot more fun than the steakhouse across the parking lot...
