I know it's just publicity, but I love when stars do stuff like this -- not even the paying for dinner part (which is awfully nice), but just making himself available to the fans and creating a dialogue. I am a fan of this guy. His play on the field will come and go, but I really appreciate him trying to be a good guy and a part of the community, off the field. Saying the right things matters. Props. Title: Re: BEAST FEAST Post by: Brian Fein on April 15, 2011, 07:17:01 pm I wish I could have gone. I would have liked to just check it out and see what kind of turnout there is.

I agree it is nice when they do this the meeting fans part. But his out of pocket might be small or even nothing. I know if I owned a restaurant and an NFL star wanted to buy dinner for 50 people I would give him one hell of a deal, might do it entirely for free. 50 people who may have never heard of my place or who have heard of my place and have been meaning to give it a try. Sure some those who show up would be existing regulars...but I have a very good shot at getting a dozen or so new regulars. Plus there was probably a radio station "broadcasting live from the parking lot of Weston Chilli's" A quick clip on the local news afterwards and it could prompt, "you know honey I have always been meaning to try that place" "me too, we should go this weekend, in various homes. And finally I doubt only 50 people showed up. Customer number 51 is paying his own way to be in the same restaurant as BM.

Title: Re: BEAST FEAST Post by: Brian Fein on April 18, 2011, 10:13:28 am There was probably a line to get in.
And - Who has never heard of or been to Chili's? Really? Title: Re: BEAST FEAST Post by: Dave Gray on April 18, 2011, 11:22:06 am Even if it is true that he's not buying dinner -- it's still that he's making himself available.
