sweet! maybe when we’re all ready, we’ll hit them up at an event, or get some pointers!
Hey, wait a minute-are you fellas coming to the parade?
There’s a Facebook event up too here. The goal is to have nearly everyone attend be in full gear if possible.
As far as i know, we should be there, at least i will! im sure cory will be there too, as far as the rest of the group i am unsure at the moment!
I plan on it.
Cool. We’ve got the other thread & Facebook event up and running if you guys have any questions. So it’ll be at least two of you then? We’re trying to get a headcount and idea of how many people in complete packs to expect.
i will definatly be there in full gear!! 
if i can get my wifes uniform done by then shell be there too, if not definitely next time… her pack will be done by then!
At this point needs to be full gear at st pattys parade
Yeah count me out. Don’t/won’t have a pack.
No, you know what, pack or not I’m going to make it out. I think it will be a good. experience either way.
Weird,.. i heard open call. you think it would have said,. “open call-but need full gear” but either way we will be there! count us in.
read the thread there is a limit on packs versus no packs
I was going to post this to the thread about the parade but it was way off topic. So I will post it here and hope for the best.
Allow me to add 2 cents and make this a 4 cent comment. I think pack or not we are a community. And outcasting members because they don’t have a pack is kind of silly. We (MEGB) are new at this and it seems like your not interested in helping us but outcasting us. Since day one on the forum/chat all you have done is talk bad about Maine people and our crew. And I just think its not very cool. We are all here for the same reason and should work together and not play the “we are the best” game. We all know you guys have been around a long time and know your stuff , but come on guy, work with us not against us. When we decided to do this we were hoping you guys would be helpful but all you have been is rude and disrespectful. I really hope you reply to this. I would love to hear what your thoughts are. PM me if you feel the need.
im gonna add my two cents also.. quite frankly i dont care what you say, i have already talked to kevin and read the facebook thread and everything is a go. if there is any other comments you feel you need express feel free to keep them to yourself unless its positive or helpfull. and since your NH and the event is in BOSTON MASS i think the franchise that actually covers this area has say. so you WILL see us there. thanks. dont bother PMing me.. you can just respond here or not at all would be great. unless is helpfull of course, but sin e you have nothing to give so far but negativity hopefully youll not respond at all… either way thanks! and see you in march.
I’ll make this a six cent commentary. The BSGB, is also a new franchise, though we’ve been around for about a year longer than you guys. Last year, we were no where near ready, and as a result, we all sat out. This year, Pete and the GBNH have actually been extremely helpful in terms of helping us get ready. They really are community guys. What you need to understand, is that it takes time to get things together and to establish yourselves as a franchise. Have fun with the process and look forward to next year is what I think you should do.
I appreciate your comment, and I understand it takes time, but since my first day on the forum/chat it has been nothing but negative attitude, harsh words and unkind comments about us and the state we live in. Not someone I would consider kind or helpful. We are “feet first” kinda guys, and we have all spent lots of time and money so far, and are not going to just give up or give in. Take every opportunity available to us. And this was an invite and opportunity we were not about to let down. But it seems that they are the only ones trying to hold us back.
They? I don’t even know who you are
hmmm.. im a little torn on this. so you mean to tell me if i drive 4+ hours to support my franchise in an OPEN CALL event… im not gonna see anyone marching without a pack? and EVERYONE will have “accurate” gear? even searching through photos, there were people without packs and very “inaccurate” gear…hmmm… it seems a select few dont want us there… but we get PM’s from others saying its ok… kinda confused. and its not like this is our first event,… and its not like we are no prepared.. two of us are going and only one of us doesn’t have a pack… but i guess i can make a ■■■■■■ cardboard pack if that will make the difference. maybe its not worth the hassle… but i guess that is for me to find out.
I think they were referring to Pete & Lee.
Regardless, guys- there’s no need to get passive aggressive or into a ■■■■■■■ match over this. I PMed you guys to assure you that you could come and participate in the hopes there wouldn’t be any arguing on the parade thread or anything, and I’d like to try and keep it that way. My hope with the parade, this year and last, was to bring as many guys and girls together who had a passion for Ghostbusters for a fun afternoon in Boston that would yield some money for a worthy cause (this year’s benefit hasn’t been announced yet due to a phone call or two I need to make).
well let us know when you find out the info on the benefit, i have a bunch of family that resides in that area, who we would be staying with. and i am sure they will want to donate, as will my family! that way either way if we dont show up, we can still reach out! :]
That is what I am talking about good sir. Lets all have a day of good ole GB love in Bean town. Lets blow the top of a high rise, lets get sued by… Ok wait. wrong thought process. Lets all get together and be brothers and sisters (and NH guys if you make a Maine inbreeding joke I swear lol) for one day. Ok all jokes aside. Lets make this rock and please PLEASE all come together for a cause. Shake hands and be one.
