Free Republic Tenth Anniversary Plans (Vanity)

The tenth anniversary of Free Republic is coming up (this November!) As a result, I would like to see some sort of a get-together take place, in either San Diego, Arizona, Texas or Florida (or some other venue in a Freeper-friendly part of the country). What I would really like to see is someone, perhaps a well-known or wealthy lurker, help organize a Freeper Convention that would include banners, flags, Freeper stuff for sale at booths, a Freeper "museum" with displays centering on famous Freeper moments (threads, Freeper Actions, well-known and infamous Freepers, and Freeper lore, etc). Also, I'd like to see a well-known guest speaker emcee the event (Rush Limbaugh? Ann Coulter?) For entertainment, I'd like to see Toby Keith, Alan Jackson, Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Cosby or some other well-known, preferably conservative (or at least not rabid left-wing) entertainers. Any plans afoot for something like this? It would be a blast and we could all get to meet each other in person (travel arrangements could be made for Freepers in other countries).

Random thoughts...
- Why not hold the main event in Fresno, Jim Robinson's hometown? That would be fun to blow into a mid-sized city and "take it over" for a weekend (in a friendly, economically beneficial way, of course).
- Involve a strong Internet component, since that is what FR is all about. Have simultaneous gatherings in communities all of the country (and world), and tie in with Web cams.
- Add in a social component at each event, raising funds for troops' families, local cops, etc. Something to serve our finest (without requiring any governmental funds, of course).
I'll post more if I can think of anything...

Sorry, but I'll be in Afghanistan making sure you guys are all safe. Otherwise, I'd be interested.

We could have an award ceremony. I sure hope one category would be, "Best Barkeep of the Mark Levin Lounge".

Have you ever listened to a guy named Schnitt on FM in the morning as MJ and in the evening as Schnitt on 970 AM?
I swear his show is straight from FR. He even uses terms that I know orginated here.

FRink, the Levin Lounge is the best. Thanks to Mr. Jim who allows my "establishment", to continue to run!

I listen to Schnitt on occasion, and yes I agree.

sort of a "Dan's Bake Sale"...Exactly! That wasn't a big media-organized, self-congratulatory event (YearlyKos anyone?). It was small, organic and authentic. Fresno is more "Red America" than Vegas or even San Diego, IMHO.

Heck, I know of at least two FR-organic terms that have crossed over:
"MSM"
"RINO"

I think it's a doggone shame that Rush, Matt, Sean and Ann aren't asking Jim Robinson and his sons to come to *their* anniversaries!
The Robinsons are, in large part, the reason these people are famous!

Schnitt is great. Used to listen to him all the time until they took his show off the air here in TX, that was at least a year ago I think.

The folks attending the Texas and Congressional inaugural balls also abandoned those dull things early and came over to ours just in time to save the cash bar from bankruptcy.
What a party!
We still have our drink favors hanging on the wall!
