    ah, you know, the usual: ordering 1000 t-shirts, grill badges, pins, pens, dash plates, goody bags, bingo prizes, making an event guide, sorting out vendor alley, making signs, creating a farewell dinner cake, packing some booze .............. etc. :)

    Dreaming of the Dragon, how am I getting ready...

    Well, I am talking with realtors, I'm searching for backup jobs, and I am seeing what all it takes to get permitted to open my own paint shop...

    That enough? :D

    The TireRack funds go towards funding the cost of hosting the event. Typically we take donations at the event for the Food Bank. There is a donation tab on the left hand navigation tabs of the MOTD site. Those funds also help fund the cost of the event. HERE is that direct link.
