In a message dated 7/23/2008 8:42:24 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Seemed like a really big event. I wonder how much revenue it brought in to Asbury. None of the responses, so far, to the wonder mentioned above seems totally satisfactory in the context of what I remember from RoadTrip's inception several years ago. RoadTrip was meant to introduce (or reintroduce) and generate interest in Asbury Park as a diverse GL friendly community not only to visit but also to consider for home ownership or renting here -- especially after a spate of newspaper articles which first appeared in the early 00's and continue today. I do not speak for the organizers, so maybe one of them can correct what I remember of Dane and others' intentions going back several years. For me, the RT concept dovetails nicely with a general commentary about _The End of Gay Culture_ (http://www.tnr.com/politics/story.html?id=cac6ca08-7df8-4cdd-93cc-1d20cd8b7a70) , written by Andrew Sullivan in 2005: _http://tinyurl.com/2622k9_ (http://tinyurl.com/2622k9) ; Sullivan's commentary is also a strong counter to a triCity News letter written a few weeks ago by Gabrielle O., contending that Asbury Park is not a progressive city. (The fascism-lite reference in that letter was out of line and distracted from any credibility it might have had.) Each year, more and more of my outer Monmouth friends buy into the promise this city holds for many of us here. The drinkers in the my crowd weren't able to spend as they would have liked at MM's Beach Bar because of the novice servers; but that was their only complaint.

Skip the technicalities. If no one showed up to spend in a UEZ zone, it would be that much harder for the city to get funds back - to fund new business owners, marketing, police cars, patrols, special programs etc. All those things would have to be funded by either the proeprty owner, business or the city's regular taxes to the general public - like property owners. The CITY and property owners are a DIRECT beneficiary of the UEZ. Whether or not the overall intent of the UEZ has worked 100% is another issue. Look when you see a police car drive (or trot) by. Funded by the UEZ Wouldn't you rather see that That's why Cookman needs an Apple store. Generate tons of revenue - any high volume store. Small sales = small returns to the UEZ = small returns TO THE CITY. Enjoy the day. Yahoo!

I just hobbled up there on my two canes and used the facilities with the rest of the boys. I was tempted to take a goodie bag on my way out. No one asked any questions and I didn't ask any. Yahoo!

No Hotel Tax that I'm aware of, so nothing there. Nothing else I can think of - Anyone ?? Werner Here is what I can share: -Sales tax at The Empress was $19.53 per night. -Occupancy tax at The Empress was $13.95 per night. The Empress sold all 101 rooms. The promoters say that 3000 tickets were sold for Sand Blast on Saturday. Even if 1/2 of those people bought Beach Badges at $5 per, that would be $7,500 - No tax was charged for admission to Sand Blast, $10 of each ticket was donated to the Human Rights Campaign. - A $10 recommended donation was collected to those who chose to give it at the Kick off Party on Friday night, I believe that the donations went to the Asbury Park Marketing Committee. The businesses on Cookman Ave. seemed busy, I am sure money was made there. I wonder how many ices were sold? How many drinks were purchased (LOTS). The Host Hotel was The Berkeley, I assume there were similar taxes collected there. Yahoo!
