I like the idea of having two nights about six months apart. Personally, I see these as prime opportunities to not only meet up with DGN members that can't too often make it to the club, but to raise funds for the board, and pique interest in the board amongst our largest target group: the other weirdos that frequent City Club. I think we should have award ceremonies on the Appreciation Night, fundraisers on both nights, promo packages on the ready for Street Team members, and new member incentives plus an available computer so we can have on-the-spot sign-ups. Maybe we can grow the events a little each time, adding things like door prizes, a second meeting area (besides the stage--someplace quieter and more conducive to conversation), a DGNer exclusive song request hour (at the beginning of the night, only DGNers' requested songs will be played), a drink special for confirmed wristbanded members only, catered hors d'ouvre table, or preceding dinner event (so those who can't or won't go to the club can still participate), etc. In any case, none but the most wasted and consequently oblivious should go home from City Club on those nights not knowing what DGN is and how to get here.
Edit to add: Oh, yeah, and I volunteer to assist in the planning and production of these events until such time as I relocate out of state (possibly as long as two years from now, but hopefully only one year). I love a good party!
