There have been whisperings of a "winter meetings" as long as I've been a member of this league. While an actual meet and greet for all 30 (almost) GMs would probably be unfeasible, if we got half of that, it would would still be worthwhile. Doing a live draft would be utter chaos, but what better way to celebrate 50 seasons than some real-life face-to-face interactions?
I've already come face to face with Pedro, so it can't get much worse than that ;)
Also, if (and only if) we do this, I would be down on PR's idea of league t-shirts.

Shirt idea isn't bad, but don't buy off the internet. Shop local and you'll be surprised at the deals you can find, especially if ordering in bulk. You should be able to find someone who'll create you a decal and certainly cheap than $20-25 per shirt.
I may be to check with my friend from high school who owns a design shop if anyone else can't find anything. Below is a little attempt at a basic decal.
As for the meet and great, it's a longshot. We'd have to line it up for the draft and most likely would need to be in June or July. Then travel and whatnot. It'd be fun, but I think it might go down like Rule 5 in Mogul - a great idea, but just not going to come to fruition.
I was sick so most of this didn't happen. I'll talk to matty about maybe doing the draft podcast this year. I'm also thinking about a Top 50 Players ever and maybe creating a vote for this.
Anyone have interest in helping me compile a list of players to narrow from? (The HOF would be an easy way I think)
