LOL, that's what I was thinking; let them organize the party, attend and 
enter wherever I wish.  It's doubtful that they would have an attendance 
requirement that the results can only be entered in MM.

    Much like the store owner who sees the flyer from his new competitor 
that says "Grand opening sale Saturday under the big balloon".   The 
store owner just needs to rent a bigger balloon for Saturday, and he can 
benefit from their advertising!
