Lamardirts 2,114 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 I grew up in Lamar, MO but eventually moved to Alabama and now overseas. I come home next year for a full year and was curious if any of you guys get together before, during, or after games? I know a few of y'all live away from KC but was curious how many of y'all know each other in person and if any of y'all make it a point to get together when possible. Would be nice to put a face with the handle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer 8,686 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 back in the day we had a thing called "Festivus" many of those members are no longer here I do not believe because of our culture its just life. I think by the interaction on the threads one can ascertain who knows who on a personal level...most of those in the LR know each other and their families. I can tell you that I hold a deep affection for those that made the Coalition what it is//// was and am disappointed that some of the Old Timers have not come back in the Chiefs time of Glory after all these times of trials and tribulations Burpo The Mad Clown, Wolfscall, qnet and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetlord 10,209 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 It might be possible to have another Festivus next season if there's enough interest. Like OT posted, many of us met in person and a good number came from out of the area for a weekend. We could keep it small, meet up for BBQ, tailgate, and group seats. Don't know how many of the originals would be interested, but it would be nice to put faces on some that have never met up. oldtimer, Lamardirts, azchief21 and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfscall 204 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Even though I don't post much anymore, I've been here since the beginning. The Festivus weekends were big fun. I REALLY miss those days. I used to have a bunch of pictures from those days, but I had a computer crash and a couple of other issues and they are all gone now. Otherwise I would post a couple of pics. West, Joe_Chief and oldtimer 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamardirts 2,114 Posted December 3, 2020 Author Share Posted December 3, 2020 Wow never knew it got that big. Sounds like y’all had a blast! If y’all decide to do a Festivus next year I’d definitely be interested. I love this board, it helps keep my sanity. Not many Chiefs fans here in Bogotá.

Not many Chiefs fans here in Bogotá. 🤣 yea I bet thats right at one time when this all started ..we left the KC STAR's forum to create our own it was quite the deal. One of our members who is a West Pointer had a connection with Carl Peterson who was also a West Pointer so that helped in our access to the Chiefs. We'd pick a Chiefs Player's Charity and have raffles etc and try to come up with a donation. IIRC we pretty much wre the unofficial official Chiefs Fan Forum at one time. We had guys go to Training Camp and send back reports..We even had a future Mayor of KC as regular, it was very very cool. Like I said many of those guys have left because of..probably just life. I do see from time to time one may drop in but they dont stay or post I mean hell our benevolent sponsor does not even visit altho he foots the Bill for this place. I dont think the Locker Room helped in that regard but thats JMO.. Many of the "Originals" I am friend with on Book Face..anyway we endeavor to persevere Joe_Chief and West 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spfdchiefsfan 621 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 This place really started at as a bunch of guys that liked each other and got sick of the Star not upholding their rules. I've gotten to know many on here and I consider them friends. I talk to Boss regularly. I have to adnit, I miss Arrowheads snippiness! Diehard is over rated, and OT, well he is just the man! I'd love to do another Festivus to meet some of the "newbies". oldtimer and Lamardirts 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetlord 10,209 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 The peak Festivus was about 75 people, IIRC. At least that's about how many tickets I bought for group seating. Add in those of us who had season tickets and the total was higher. We had a great time when Uncle Festus drug his wagon/smoker to Tailgator's house and smoked beef, chicken, and buffalo ribs all night and day. A few people got pretty wasted in the process. Remember Danni Boatwright and Bill Kenny attending one party? We even got together at the Lees Summit VFW for a draft party one year. Yep, sure miss seeing some of the old crowd including four or five gals who used to post here. oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember that Jets fan that crashed the party and hung out for a while. That dude Wass hysterical. lol It's been what....... 13-14 years since we've done one. Hopefully, we can get together for one next year. oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it was the Reverend Edwards first year as HC. the JETS fans didn't really crash it they were invited IIRC they asked if they could use some lighter fluid and we just said come on over join the party but yea good times. They had a Chkn wing jamaican rub that was out of sight. I stayed in contact with them and they sent some to me and I then shared some with Wilkie who sneezed in it or spilt it in away only Wilkie could and that was that. Murph somehow had contact with Bill Kenny and told him about us and got him to be at the one...good times great people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
