Last year we had 22 people show up for the event. From 2014-2016 we had anywhere from 8-20 people show up for events at the Taki Tiki in Edmonds. This year we had a preposterous two people show up. This shocked me. I was wondering if it was because I had announced that I wasn't able to attend, but I think that's only a small reason. I have asked a handful of people who I thought were coming, and all of them say they forgot.

I pinned the event to the top of the board about six weeks ahead of time. I assumed that was enough of a reminder. But I see now that I should have been reminding/promoting a bit more with new posts. So it was my fault for lack of promotion.
 
@TommySQC also thinks that the Oregon loss took a lot of wind out of people's sails.
 
Well I'm showing up at the Duchess in Nov. Free tall guy handies!!

I thought the get together was some kind of exclusive type of deal because the thread was locked. It made it look like it was only for the people in the know.

I assumed people were organizing and confirming they were coming through text messages.

Interesting. No, I did it to keep the usual suspects from shitting all over the thread when I was trying to convey info

If you want people to attend your event, you need to make YouTube videos promoting it. And make sure everyone knows that all attendees will receive a box.

What's in the box? Make sure to shoot some extra creepy video adding to the mystique of the box. Will make everyone want one. And if you can hire a talent behind the camera, that works the best. Preferably an unshaven, disheveled 5-3 alcoholic with bloodshot eyes.

Hth.

I blame @PurpleBaze for driving people away.
 
Heavy Drinking on Thursday is against my religion. Fridays and Saturdays are good though
