Questions for Sweep 16

[kbsocial]

Please ask any questions here regarding the convention itself and our host JackpotJoe will get back to us to answer them:)

[kbsocial]

Joe ~ Can you visit the vendor tables if you are not a paying convention member?

Other than the banquet is there anything else people can attend for a lesser price if they are unable to do the whole convention?

[JackpotJoe]

Joe ~ Can you visit the vendor tables if you are not a paying convention member?

This is something that the convention committee will have to decide.


Other than the banquet is there anything else people can attend for a lesser price if they are unable to do the whole convention?

The Banquet is the only event/session open to non-registered people at this time. In the past the banquet was the only additional fee for non registered people.

If I am not mistaken its a bid between the different sweep clubs to host and then all attendees vote. Last year it was San Diego, the year prior Baltimore and this year the Quad Cities Winners, of which JackpotJoe is a member, won the bid for this years convention:)

[SeaDebi]

Just wanted to say: Welcome to OLS!

I am going to try my darndest to make it to Moline in June.

and...............Thank you for being here to answer our questions, that is awesome and so very nice of you!

Wins to you!

i did not know that, thanks for the info. i was wondering how they decide where to have it. it was in baltimore my first year i started sweeping, so i did not know anyone, and everyone thought if i went i was nuts LOL. but now, if it came by close again, i would definately go!

[Joyful_Sweeps]

how does this work? will ols people be sitting together as a group?

i wonder because i might drive there. its about 5 hours away. id be going by myself, because my husband wont be able to get work off and noone i know sweeps (even if i knew someone around here). so i would be all alone. i dont really like the idea of being alone at a convention. ive done it before, but it kind of stinks, esp when i dont know what im doing. will ols people be wearing special stickers so at least we can say hello to each other?

BTW, will anyone be carpooling? may i start a thread for that?

:)

I will definitely be trying to get everyone to hook up so that OLS people can make sure and meet/hang out with each other. That is why I started this forum to get some excitement and make sure we can all coordinate:) You won't be alone:gvibes:

BTW, will anyone be carpooling? may i start a thread for that?

Most definitely! I was thinking about that last night that we should have a ride/crash board - if people are looking for roommates for the convention or people to ride with ~ go for it:)

[marie5]

I will be attending alone too. I have never been to one. Will there be guides to help me?

There are now 463 people signed up. 180 people are first time attendee's We will be making the first timers name bages sspecial so that the veterans will know who they are and help them along. If you are a first timer, don't be bashful...ask questions we are all there to help. Everyone helps out, not just the convention hosts.

Hey Joe there is a question for you here (http://www.online-sweepstakes.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1814774&postcount=31).

When will the speakers be firmed up/released?!

[JackpotJoe]

When will the speakers be firmed up/released?!

Hopefully sometime in April. Sometimes I didn't know about the speakers until I signed in at the convention.

Wi-Fi? Not sure what you're asking. What is Wi-Fi?

[mechurchlady]

She is asking if there is a radio signal type device that allows people with laptops to connect to the internet without a telephone line.

I am checking that right now on both hotels.
I will let you know when I get an answer but I did not find anything to say they do have it.

[mechurchlady]

Question about the raffles.
Last year we stood in line like for ever.
This year I was reading that we had to hand in preprinted pieces of paper for the raffles except money and lottery tickets. Can you give me a step by step list of instructions on how the raffle turn in will work? Can we use colored paper? What about cardstock? You know the old argument over the words "paper" and "card".

I just got this letter from the Qualiy Hotel.

Hello Laurie,

The hotel will have wireless access in the hotel lobby, sometimes you can connect to this in the rooms but there is a chance you will need to plug into the phone lines in the rooms.

Thank you, webhelp/ra

[JackpotJoe]

The Holiday Inn will has high spped access now and should have wireless available at convention time.

Now for the raffles:

(I think this is very clear and to the point on the website)

Step 1. Bring five (5) of the same kind of stamps or postcards or envelopes. Five (5) identical items equals one entry.

Step 2. For each entry, write your name, city, and state on a 3x5 paper (no cards please) I don't care what color the paper is. If you have ten (10) identical items, you fill out two (2) 3x5 papers with your name, city, and state.

Hey Joe:

What is the dress attire for the banquet?

Thanks.

[mechurchlady]

Thanks Joe for the clarification on the raffles. It is rather clear but I did not want to show up with lots of yellow paper only to find out that white was the proper color.

You are a great guy and thanks for doing a wonderful job.

[JackpotJoe]

Hey Joe:

What is the dress attire for the banquet?




At past conventions, most people dressed up for the banquet. Some people wore their formals. I would suggest to wear something comfortable because after we eat and get the prize drawings out of the way, we are going to CELEBRATE our 16th birthday/anniversary!

If I use purple paper does that mean I might influence the raffle in my favor?
Are we allowed to crimp the paper?
Can we decorate the paper?
Is wadding, rolling and folding or the paper allowed?

You will notice that I took notes at the last convention.

Do you prefer grape, lilac or any shade of purple?

Would you like Binski to wear a purple dress?

I will probably be reading the names and not doing the drawing...sorry.

Wadding, rolling, folding, or crimping the paper is allowed.

I don't like Grape, I like lilac and the lighter shades of purple.

If Binski likes purple and wants to wear a purple dress...Go for it!

Dress up??? Formals??? Is the rest of the convention a t-shirt and jeans kind of thing?

[JackpotJoe]

What's the deal with these lines? And, why would we have to wait forever? :sherlock:

The lines were long because at each station you had to count the Stamps/postcards/envelopes etc and then count out tickets. You had to stand in line to go from one area to the next.

That is why we are asking you to bundle your entries with a 3x5 paper so we will not have to count out tickets (except for lottery tickets and cash). We are allso planning multiple stations so that there will not be one long line.

[JackpotJoe]

Dress up??? Formals??? Is the rest of the convention a t-shirt and jeans kind of thing?

Yes jeans, shorts, whatever is comfortable. We are planning a Wear something you have won for Saturday morning that was fun last year.

It was fun at the last convention to see people in some weird get ups. I am glad they are having that again.

I see you are well organized and am eager to be there. What is June weather like?

Last year they had orange juice, coffee, and food to eat in the morning. I cannot eat gluten and wheat products so I did not take note of what was served except one lady had a little plate with 2 or 3 pastries on it. Friday night they had mixed nuts, corn chips and salsa.

So Joe will you be doing the same this year?

What is the proper pronunciation of Moline, "Mow lean" or "Mow line"?

[kbsocial]

You can bet that KB won't be doing the formal thang:laugh:


And churchy "Mow lean" is correct:)

[sweeps aku]

In San Diego people where dressed in many styles at the "formal" dinner. Most where just "nice" clothes. Some wore formals, some wore dressy, some wore nice, & some came in casual. Sweepers do not seem to discriminate based upon clothing styles, and everyone seemed to have a great time regardless of their attire. I will be happy just to meet people who know what I am talking about & understand that thrill of winning!

[Kay19962]

[QUOTE=kbsocial]You can bet that KB won't be doing the formal thang:laugh:


I'll be right there with ya, I never go anywhere without jeans. Just that type of person. Besides I only dress up once a year and I have a wedding to attend in fal!! :cool2:

Thank you as where I live the street is called "pee o nair o" which is actually Pioneer.
I did not want to come to town and insult them by calling it Mow Lean ay as my neighbors would call it.

Last year I saw a girl wearing hip huggers. I will be like usual Sweeper Butt stretch pants and a blouse. I might even trade the flip flops for real shoes.

Some of these questions are hilarious! A sweepstaker without an internet connection would be dreadful! Can you imagine the withdrawal symptoms?

What is the demographic at these conventions?

[beanieprincess]

im a vegetarian,will there be food for me to eat?

[Kay19962]

I am looking into the vegitarian questions, I know of one place that serves them in the QC but it is IOwa. I will see what I can find out and let you know!!

[kbsocial]

I've sent JackpotJoe a quick email to make sure he sees and can address the dietary restrictions:)

And Kay - Iowa is SOOOOOO far away!


For the meat eaters, we're takin y'all across the bridge for some YUMMY ribs!!!

[mechurchlady]

Kb can you check on Gluten and soy free foods at the convention. I absolutely cannot have soy sauce, wheat, barley, oats, rye, malt, maltodextrin, and any soy products. I do eat a smidge of soy occassionally like soy lecithin or a salad dressing on a special occassion but will pay dearly for doing that.

Last convention was not a problem but this one has a boxed lunch which usually has bread. I cannot take the meat off the bread as that leaves crumbs that make be sick.

I do not need help otherwise and found lots of place that I can eat at. Just worried about the convention.

Thank you Kay for your hard work. It is very hard to be vegan, allergic to food, take medicines that restrict certain food intake, be a picky eater or stick to a religious based diet. Corn tortilla end up having wheat and meat is cooked on a grill picks up bread. I have survived this cross contamination. :hello:

Kay what is the best place for ribs? Where are the best places to shop? Is their Wal-mart the regular size or the Super sized one? Just in case, do you have the number of a good bail bondsman and the local slammer? :nono:

The convention has a cruise :cruise: planned and I was wondering if the cruise :cruise: or KB's Pub and Grub Crawl would be better?

[CathyVeester]

I talked with the catering manager for the convention and she said that there will be vegetarian choices for the Friday lunch and Saterday evening banquet. As for the rest of your meals, I'm sure that there are restaurants here that has salads, Portabella sandwhiches, and I remember eating a sandwhich that was all veggie with bean sprouts and all but I can't remember where it was. If I wasn't so busy, I'd check into the restaurants.

Best ribs in the Quad Cities...I'd say Texas Roadhouse are my favorite (don't tell my brother-in-law) Texas Roadhouse is about 10 miles from the Holiday Inn. Another favorite IS Famous Dave's (owned by my brother-in-law). I love Famous Dave's for all their sauces.

I am afraid I will have to disagree with you and vote for Circle Tap hands down!! For a chain though Famous Dave's does have some good grub.

Kay and I were discussing last night that in Davenport Greatest Grains has great vegetarian fare!! I didn't realize til Kay told me that they actually serve food there too, learn something new every day!!

KB, I have many clients in Missouri and Kansas and they always "freak" when I visit them ...

"Where do we take Cathy for dinner - our wonderful, but nutty vegetarian consultant from California?"

So we end up going where I can at least get a baked potato and a salad.

Of course, the waitresses always look at me like I'm crazy - "All you want is a baked potato and a salad, hon? We got a good special on prime rib?"

:wink3:

You need clients in Columbia, Mo then and we'll take ya to a yummy place called The Main Squeeze - veggie, organic, yadda, yadda, yadda. Granted its no California, but all my veggie friends like it lots! My sister is veggie and has a bunch of places she goes in Kansas City - you need new clients;)

[mechurchlady]

Cathy you just got to do lots of research and adapt. I am on a no wheat, soy, egg, dairy, malt, gluten and chocolate diet. I can have a once in a while dairy and chocolate. There are many restaurants that serve meatless dishes. Asian restaurants have lots of meatless dishes as do Indian and African restaurants.

I eat sandwiches wrapped in lettuce or corn tortillas and sometime just order pastrami with pickles and mustard with a side of fries and cole slaw. Adapt and research is my motto. There are plenty of great restaurants in the midwest that are vegetarian.

ok let's see the Walmart's are all supersized around here. Southpark Mall is not far away from the hotels so there is that, also in the area of the mall there is a local place called Quad City Candles, that have wonderful scents and beautiful items. I think that we have summed up where the best place for RIbs are. As for the jail stuff, wouldn't know that ...Kay's a good girl :grin2:

As for the cruise I am assuming that there is a plan for a crusie on the Celebration? That is nice there is also a daily crusie that some of the gambling boats go on but they are always god awful early. Hope I answered some questions that you have.

[mechurchlady]

Yes it would be on the Celebration. I did not know about the Gambling boats ahving cruises. My religion says gambling is a sin. I just know that I could drop $5000 in one hour at a casino and spend way to much on lottery tickets.

Who was talking about KB? There are other rabblerousers coming :hello: :nana: :cheer: . Haven't you heard about Cathy trading in her wimple and habit for dancing shoes and a red dress? I hear the Abbey will be rocking in June.

One of the raffle items is $1 Illinois state lottery tickets. I am only very familiar with California ones.

[Kay19962]

Hey if any one likes Rubens we have the Best Place for those to, Belgian Village Inn, they have Rubens to die for...they have home made bread that they silce the long way so you end up with a sandwich that most people can not eat in one sitting!!!! They have tons of other things also but....the sandwiches are sooooo yummy, oh and they have a vegi and a carb menu!!!

[murphyslaw]

Circle Tap! I graduated from high school with the guy that owns that place. Is Jim's Rib Haven still around? My sister used to love that place. The Village is the best place for a Rueben, and they make that Turkey sandwich on the raisin bread. mmmmm, so yummy.

Here are a few more that are not specifically listed as vegan or vegetarian, but because of the type of food they are the restaurants shouls be able to accommodate special requests to make meals cruelty free (or allergy free for Churchy):

Pho Saigon

Moline, IL

For vegans & vegetarians:

Vegans: At the Indian restaurant make sure to specify no yogurt, ghee or paneer in your food. Also avoid fried appetizers as they were probably fried in the same oil as fried paneer. Dishes like dosai, thalis, rice & dahl, utthaphams all incorporate food combining of rice and legumes so they are a complete protein.

Vegans: At Chinese restaurants eat only plain white steamed rice and steamed vegetables. Their woks have had meat cooked in them and they don't clean them between orders. The steamed veggies and rice are the only way to go. Have them add some tofu to the steamed vegetables for protein.

The last two are Vietnamese, so if you're a vegan or vegetarian watch out for fish sauce, shrimp paste (in the curry or panang), and oyster sauce (which is tricky since most oyseter sauce is actually vegan).

I hope this info is helpful to somebody out there besides Jenn & I!

[etbiv]

I talked with the catering manager for the convention and she said that there will be vegetarian choices for the Friday lunch and Saterday evening banquet.

Thanks Jackpot Joe.

Were you able to find out if there will be vegan food (or gluten free food for Churchy).

For a vegan meal if there could even be a salad with no cheese, bacon, or croutons we could bring our own vegan dressing.

I know there are plenty of restaurants in town to get vegan food - just wondering about the Friday lunch and Saturday banquet.

Thanks.

[mechurchlady]

Unless you open a new bottle of salad dressing you have to keep it refrigerated in your room or at home then take a small container of the dressing to the restaurant. I got very sick from eating food that was not refrigerated. I hate paying $3 to $5 a bottle for dressing and throwing it out but the food poisoning is much worse.

Send a PM to Joe as he has sent me the Catering person's email so I can explain my dietary limitations.

Also with Asian restaurants you can sometimes get brown rice. Some Asian restaurants use eggs in their cooking. A major problem for allergy sufferers, vegans and people on special diets is cross contamination. Vegetarians and myself face the problem of battered fish fried in the same oil as the french fries.

With salads you have to be careful of them accidental croutons. Mexican food is good but they sometimes use lard.

Cathy how vegetarian are you? I got some places you might like to try.

If KB will have me I would love to sample the rib joints of the midwest. Ribs, wet wipes, taters, cole slaw, a little dish of ice cream and Churchy be very happy in deed. :hello:

[murphyslaw]

My husband and I are thinking about coming to this. I graduated from Davenport West, 1979. We just had our 25th reunion last July.

Thanks to everyone who posted vegetarian restaurant ideas.

Very helpful.

I just got an email from the local Celiac group and they will help anyone with Celiac who is visiting Moline.

At San Diego, some did, but most didn't.

[kbsocial]

Do you find that many people are entering sweeps (such as filling out 3x5 cards) while at the convention?


I found while watching the 2004 Convention Video lots and lots of people filling out 3x5's and envies during the speeches and other things going on. The host of the DVD even went up to people to find out what they were entering for and to look at their decorated envies and such. They showed people in the lobby on their laptops, was definitely interesting to watch!

Where is it going to be next year? Illinois is too far for me to drive.
How did you bid for it? Who did you bid to? What did you bid?

Why does it cost $59 a night to stay in Moline? Where's Moline? Are there any tourist attractions there? What about stuff for kids? Does Moline have a Six Flags?

Next year is Phoenix - the sweep clubs bid to host it at the convention. Moline is part of the Quad Cities on the Iowa/Illinois border made up of Davenport/Bettendorf, IA and Rock Island and Moline, IL. Moline does not have a Six Flags. There are links about the area in this thread:
