    in short, I'm already $35 down for 400 mosaic papers and Jaime banner will be $30 more. So if 6 Barra people would like to sponsor jm banner with $5 each you'd help my newly poor ass greatly :D For my part I'll work on it next 2 evenings and then Charlotte can sew it together.

    Thank you

    (maker of the banner does not accept responsibility if final product sucks worse than MPF. I'd say sponsor the cards instead but that has even bigger potential for a disaster :D)

    I'll throw in $5, no problem.

    One of you guys remind me on Saturday; I'll have the money, I just might not remember to hand it over. ;)

    $5 from me as well. Don't let me get too drunk to remember (or, get the money from me before I get to that point!).

    Can you say "shakedown" boys and girls?

    Oops, I forgot to say, I'll be happy to chip in $5. We've not met, but I'll find you, trust me.

    great idea - and great job for the effort all ready in...

    Thank you gentlemen, just first 6 people with $5 will cover it :)

    Finished sketching/spraying 1/3 so far so upper half should be done tonight, I just hope it looks good when put together.

    Tim and Saltenya, if you can't find me just drop it off with Chico. But if you're looking I'm guy on right so say hi. :)

    5 of 6 sections are drawn and 2.5 are filled in (tho I might have to retouch first 2 since leaving them in rain whole night wasn't too helpfull :p) Need to sew them together and put in grommets after that.

    I'd probably use paint rather than spray next time tho that would take much longer... spray is not very precise. As long as it looks good from 50+ feet I'm fine with it.

    Give surplus funds to Dave Brothers -- they've shelled out a lot for oil, turkeys and french fries.

    Still needs touchups and um something's weird with mouth... that needs work... but that's basically it. Guess I can fix up details in lot 8

    SWEET MERCIFUL CRAP

    Srdan that is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. I have tears in my eyes. I can't wait for the game, I didnt' sleep very well last night. I'm so proud about all of the pre-game stuff we've all worked on and can't wait for the whole day to unfold. I know I shouldn't be too confident (and I'm a Red Sox fan so I know anything can happen!) but I'm cautiously optimistic that the guys will be on the field in LA.

    See you folks in a few hrs (Dave and I are off to a friend's wedding at 11, a DC fan who will be at the game later, see if he and the new missus kick out the first ball at the start of the game)

    did you put grommets in it ? if you can sneek a piece of conduit into the top...that would help...
    I am working with the banner crew, and will be bringing black rope to hang things with...i am a stagehand..should be able to make something work.

    If you can stiffen the bottom as mikedett suggested, that would help a lot.
