NFBC Message Boards

Now that the Bellagio is again official this year, I really wanted to bring this back, and put something together again this time for Friday evening the 31st after the live events of the day. For all of you who attended last year, a great time was had by all. As most of you know, for the last several years I have had post-draft events in NYC which have been a blast. But this is Vegas, and with so many of us getting together who really don't get a chance to see each other much let alone ever meet in person in the first place, there needs to be a party worthy of the NFBC and in the true MTM tradition of fun,food, drink, and debauchery...okay I'll leave out the debauchery.

So I once again have been working with the Bellagio on a venue, and once again I have secured the same spectacular lake view suite with the balconies as we had last year. There will plenty of room to mingle, bullshit, trash-talk, take photos and get draft advice from me, etc. at our leisure for as long as you'd like that evening. There will be music, beverages, cigars, and plenty of snacks... maybe even some raffles and door prizes just to spice things up a bit, and I'll again have some draft results up on the big scree, T.V. for all of us to debate about, especially the MTM Ultimate which will have taken place the week before. I decided this year that there will be an open bar like last year, but to save money on the catering and bring the cost down for everyone to make it more accessible, there won't be catered food, but as I said, there will be plenty of snacks and maybe a few pizzas or something which I'm sure will do for the likes of this group.

Now as much as I'd love to foot the bill for this little shindig being the extremely generous bastard that I am, it's not going to be possible this year until I win my first overall Main Event title this season. So this time next year, it will be all on me to celebrate my great victory and crowning as the people's champion. So this being said, I will let everyone know when I get an idea of the final total and what it's going to be per head. Trust me though, whatever it ends up being, it will be well worth the price of admission, and it will be significantly less than last year since I'm not having the catering and worked a great deal on the room (which still aint cheap...like in you could rent a house cheaper at the beach for the week). But in order to figure this all out, I need a rough head count of who would be interested in attending once I put all of this together. So if you're planning on being in Vegas for the big second weekend, and would like to be a part of the festivities, please post your name to this thread. I will then decide if you have my permission to attend.

So let's get this rolling. I'd like to have about 30 minimum, and we can have as many as 50, so the more the merrier as far as I'm concerned. All are welcome, including significant others if you would like to subject them to this type of torture. I'll be sending out some personal invites via text, PM, and maybe an E-vite, but let's get things started here.



Nothing like a nice lake view of the fountains from the balcony while you're out smoking a premium cigar perhaps?





























Anyone else getting excited yet? So who wants in, please let me know ASAP. Thanks.

I'm in this year for $20 Mike!

We had this suite for the football Thursday Night Viewing party. It's a great room with two balconies overlooking the fountains. Love this room. Enjoy everyone.

Okay KJ, I'll give you the celebrity rate, but it will be slightly more than $20. It will be nice having you. We don't get to spend enough quality time together as it is. We can further discuss your plans to take over the NFBC in 2018.

Mike - Please count me in. I'll be doing an auction at 4 pm on 3/31, so I may miss the first hour or so, but this sounds like a great time.

Mike

No wife with me this year, so count me in...at least to class the joint up....looking forward to those possum and collard green pizzas!

You know I like a good party! (Do I??) Count me in.

Awesome having you back, Dave. We can all toast your NFBC HOF enshrinement...and also of course stick you with the tab, Mr. Millionaire.

Please include myself, Zach Bettencourt, and co-manager Matt Davis, on the party list. We also auction at 4pm as "Bash Bros" on this day, and may be slightly tardy.

No worries, boys. Things will just be just getting started when you arrive. There are other guys in the auction attending as well. We go late, so looking forward to meeting you then!

Just about 20 dignitaries and counting. Who else would like to join the festivities? Setting up the complimentary bungee jumping off the balconies as I write this, and KJ will be doing his live Tiger act a la Siegfried and Roy...hopefully he doesn't end up being Roy.

Did you guys know KJ wrote a book about his adventures in training. He used a pseudonym...

Since it's a small venue I'm thinking of something more like this for the animal training show.

Now, I would go to this guy's show. I would sit in the back, though.

Just worked out a deal with the Bellagio to provide us no less than 20 escorts, one for each party attendee, and some of Vegas' finest right off the strip. Just look at this line-up! I think they really came through for you guys.



Now who wouldn't want a piece of this kind of action to talk fantasy baseball all night? Huh?

Hold on, Just got a PM from Tom. He said that he's taking this post down in the morning because he thinks he knows too many of these girls personally.

Anyway, I have a bunch of private invites out for the festivities that I'm still waiting to hear back from, but you don't need to wait for a private invite from me to join us for all the fun. Why not hang out with some of the best guys in the NFBC (present company excluded) for food, music, drinks, draft results, cigars out on the balconies, door prizes, the always popular Wayne Edwards Kissing Booth, KJ Duke's Puppy Follies Act, and the Greg Ambrosius impersonation contest, just to name of few. Too good to resist now, I know. So who else wants in?

Oh boy, I was trying to pick out one. I'm pretty sure that at least 9 of them are dudes. Of the remaining 15, it looks like 14 have completely fried their brain on drugs. OK, I have my late round sleeper pick; minimal upside but at least a floor above the dudes and drug addicts.

As to preparation for our "dates", a few suggestions:

1. Wallets in your front pocket.
2. Ask the bartender for a "double sheath" condom cocktail.
3. If, like KJ suspects, you find a surprise package, be polite, be respectful, run like hell (remember to pull you pants up first or the WWW will get another unforgettable video) and call the Dave Stewart Counseling Hotline at 1-800-HEA-DUDE.
4. Never use your real name. I call dibs on "Glenn Lowy, Farmingville, New York".

And as to...

there has been a miscommunication or MTM has me confused with one of his other fantasies. Although 12 of the MTM Vegas Party 2017 participants have already signed up for the booth (and no, in response to one PM, there will be no KDS involved), there ain't enough small bottles of minty freshness in all the hotels in Las Vegas to make this work. I will however be willing to give a talk on my latest book "The Art of Speaking Southern: Why it drives Yankee women wild! or How are your wife and my kids?"

Upon closer inspection, I have at least 10 of them as dudes, so I'm going to have to discuss this further with the concierge. I strictly said that Kessenich would NOT be attending the party. And why is it that most of them look like they've been cracked between the eyes with a bat? Is that why they're called "crack whores"?

I'll stop by after the Afternoon AL Auction Draft. I'll be dragging along my legal age son. So you can charge me for two.

Sounds good, John. Looking forward to meeting the immortal Walla Walla and son. I'm sure your presence on the guest list will now pull more people in in droves!

The art of speaking southern? Judging from conversations with my esteemed colleagues from Alabama and Georgia, this is nothing more than mumbling with a few wolf whistles thrown in. All y'all are smoking crack. Those of us hillbillies from Appalachia know how to properly enunciate to attract the fairer sex.
