10/24/2009 Bash On the Boat (I'm with B.O.B.) - Thread #15

[goofyfreak]

Jeff, hope that helps a bit....most of the stuff is still the same! I for one am looking forward to the Lumiere's lunch meet and the adult pool meet!

I need to head over to Cass' site and check it all out. Are you all still planning just one big Palo Brunch together as the B.O.B? Scott is wondering since he has a hot date for that one!

Hiya Everybody!

We just got sent home from work because a water main broke and there is no running water in the building and the fire sprinklers won't work !!!

The bad news is that we were in the middle of an all day conference call with our customers, so I have to call back in at 1 PM. But at least I'll be sitting on my couch, in my sweats, instead in a conference room! and I'll be able to peek in at the thread when no one is looking

 

[goofyfreak]

We work together. We do at times go home for lunch, but she is back and says she isn't hungry, so I don't know what to do.

Are you having to skip the lunches at home since it is busy season?

 

[millerpjm]

Oh, you are sooo sweet! Would it be too much to ask for my best buddy Stitch?

I have a couple different clip art images for Stitch...I'll post them tonight and let you pick...

Stitch is one of Thomas's favorites too...and here's the first time (ever) he saw Stitch:

He had never seen the movie or anything before the cruise, but LOOK at that face!

Yay for you. I would love to work from home at least every now and then. Won't happen in the medical field.

I hope so, but we'll have to figure out how to do it since we won't all fit into their private room.

REPO cruisers...did I remember someone saying the DS was able to get everyone ressies for a huge brunch gather, or was that my imagination?

OMG, that Thomas is tooooo cute! And Stitch is pretty cute too! Look at the other kids faces too!

Karen - What are jacket potatoes?

Baked potatoes. We also call them jacket potatoes ver here because you bake them in their "jackets".

I just ate mine with stilton crumbled on the top - heavenly

 

[danandnan]

It's 38 degrees as we speak

 

[danandnan]

Fo?

Crap, all these changes. What happen to our cruise? Guess I missed a lot in the early parts of #14.

Is anything staying the same as we established 11 months ago (and over the same 11 months til now)?

Not a whole lot...The trick or treating was decided to be too much for travelling by air and many of us are going to MNSSHP the night we disembark. We didn't want the kids to have too much candy and were concerned about getting it all home on the plane, etc.

Thats all I can think of off hand.

Cass, is the pool meet at the Radisson an "unofficial" DIS meet?? I noticed it isn't listed on the page.

Onboard DIS meets changing.

Logos changing.

Name of the Group Changing.

No Trick or Treat. (We'll be in FL before the cruise and will stop at the store for the kids)

There are a couple other things that slip my mind at the moment.

Name of the Group Changing.

-I missed part of this conversation also, but I think someone didn't want to say they were "with BOB" (please correct me if I'm wrong!!) so an alternate logo was designed. I'm still using "I'm with B.O.B.". That cannot change - my t-shirts are half done! (pics to follow)


Jen - Toward the end of the last thread someone suggested changing it to Bash on our boat. I certainly like the Bash on the Boat better and hope that sticks. As to not saying one is with Bob - that's me, but I love I'm with the Bash which was here before we were (in a bottle I think, but I could be wrong) and Bash on the Boat. I don't think that is what was mentioned as changed.

So - thread 15 (or is it really 14 since we skipped 13
I hope we don't lose more cruisers though I knwo we have some considering other options.

Have a great day, All!

These are FANTASTIC Jen! But where's mine?



Perhaps Cass can weigh in here. I don't think the logo was 'changed', especially in light of all of the people that had already used the original logos. I think Cass added some additional logo options, at the request of some of us, so that everyone would feel included.

Ok, let me clear up a few things for you guys since not everyone knows the whole story except me I guess. I'm sorry...I should have said something earlier.


A whole lot of us sailed together last October. Our group was nicknamed Konked Kruisers. Now when a very large percentage of that same group decided to sail again together next October, we started a new thread (there was no other thread for our sail date at the time) and talk of nicknames and logos began right away of course.

Since we knew we would be sailing with other people, we didn't want to just have it named Konked Kruisers 2 so talk began about a new name. Since a LOT of people are celebrating different occasions on this cruise, the name Bash on the Boat was suggested.

Someone else suggested that we could shorten it up to B.O.B. and then I think someone else suggested the "I'm with" part.

So it was a collaborative effort and everyone loved the end result.

Cheryl N WI's daughter Rachel made a sign with the Magic in a Bottle and Heather made a Pirate Logo, both with Bash on the Boat and I'm with BOB on it.

That's when I decided that I would make a website for us and started working on a logo for t-shirts. We all loved the Pirate and the Disney Magic so I decided a Mickey Pirate would work well to meld those two great ideas together.

When I was making the logo, I added the "Are you?" at the last minute and when I posted it, everyone seemed to like it.



Ok, fast-forward to a couple of months ago, I received a PM from tikimimi asking me if I could make a new variation of the logo for her because her ex is named BOB and she really did not want to use that name. I told her I would be willing to make a logo just for her, no problem.

Then a few weeks later there were posts made on the thread by various new BOBers (that had sailed on the DVC Member cruise together) concerning the logo. Someone had mentioned that they didn't want the Konked Kruisers 2 logo since they didn't sail with the KKers. Totally understandable


So here was my dilemma..

How to keep everyone happy?
How not to offend the old BOBers?
How to make the new BOBers feel more comfortable and included?
How to keep us somewhat together as a group since no matter what, we're all BOBers.

So I decided to make different variations of the logo. Some have "Bash" on them, some have the original "BOB", some have KK2, some have just Disney Magic on them.

Here's my thinking...

They all have bright orange and the Pirate Mickey on them...two things you will be able to spot very easily in the Terminal or on the ship, no matter what else is on them.

You can decide which version is better suited for you so EVERYONE is comfortable.

You can customize your own logo and add whatever you like to it.



It seems like lately that we have been torn into groups on this thread. Please remember that we are ALL BOBers and we are all cruising TOGETHER! Everything on the BOB website has been created for EVERYONE on this sailing. It is not final, and it will NOT be final until just before we leave so if you have any suggestions for meets or door signs or anything else, please bring them up on the thread and I will add them to the site.

Also please do your best to make EVERYONE feel part of the GROUP! It is understandable that certain people will get along better/more easily with others and some will clash with others. If you don't have anything nice to say about someone then please DON'T POST.

Also please keep in mind that ALL of the meets listed on the BOB Meets Page are open to EVERYONE!! If you want to add a meet that will welcome EVERYONE then please let me know about it and I will add it to the Meets Page so that everyone knows about it too!

If you prefer to have a mini-meet with only certain people, I think it's best to arrange these meets via PM so that no one is hurt or offended.



And most importantly...let's all have some FUN people!!! We will be on the greatest cruise ship ever (at least top 2 ) and the whole point is to have fun!!!!

I love how much you are teaching me! I turn around and share it with my students - they love it!

Thanks Cass for keeping it all together. I agree with you wholeheartedly. I look forward to seeing my old friends again but equally look forward to meeting the new ones.

Off to Work!

 

[cntkg1]

Couldn't agree with you more Cass. Thank you!!!

That is adorable. He is soooooo cute. I really miss the fact that my kids are not little. Darn them they grew up on me.

Sounds so much better than my turkey sandwich I am eating for lunch.

 

[njprincess]

Wow I found you. My moving buddy dumped me out on the last thread. Stay off for a day and you all move on me. Happy Birthday to Mickey and Minnie! I wish I could be in WDW for their birthday party. Oh well I guess I will just have to sit her at my desk and actually get some work done.

Oh no Leisha! Was I supposed to be your moving buddy???

 

[Timon]

Jen, those shirts look great! They really turned out well!

Christian, you are right about the Radisson meet, I totally forgot to add it to the meets page! Thanks for mentioning it

---------------------------


As for Palo, the plan is to hopefully book us all together and just take over half the restaurant since that small separate room is way too small for all of us. Now we still need someone to volunteer to contact DCL and see if this is even possible.

If anyone wants to get this organized, please let us know so we can move forward with these plans or make some other arrangements.
