Heh - me wifey has been trying for YEARS to get me to grow one. As you can see, there’s not much facial hair anywhere, except for the eyebrows....

Might as well shave them too to complete the aerodynamic look.

This thing is basically fait accompli :bravo:

Joe was the only one able to tear me away from Dorsett and Sweetness

Outstanding

For the old timers over there

1:01-1:07 of the feature

That was from our inaugural 37 Forever weekend

AND

that white ball cap I’m wearing..... is a Chiefs Planet logo hat!

I totally missed that!!

I know it's only been a week AJKCFAN, but are there any new updates?

We are making progress on the venue for the BBQ contest. October, 2021 remains the target. Really would like to see the Chiefs home schedule announced before locking in the date. Location we are shooting for is a known establishment in the Kansas City area. Don’t have an official proposal yet, but talks are definitely underway and intensifying. Somewhat confident by months end the car will be out of the bag....

On the Memorial Highway front - the application was officially received by MODOT. From what I am being told, MODOT meets up in May to evaluate and officially approve the project.

For now, due to COVID, only signs being installed are highway exit signs which need to be replaced and other essential signs to prevent accidents. Understandably, I asked my contact at MODOT to try to move this project ahead so that it can be up in time for Opening Day in September or at some point in season. No guarantees, but was told they would look to prioritize this request (due to Covid, there will be no dedication ceremony at this time)

:thumb:

So for over a decade the mark of a true Chiefs fan was the goatee. Everyone had it.

Is it now officially the shaved head? I'm bald enough now it probably wouldn't take long to fit in...

The guy pays rent in NY so you do the math...

It's been over a month since anything has been posted so I'm going to un-sticky this thread for the time being.



AJKC, please continue with any updates and if you want it stuck again, just ask. Thanks for all you do!

We did it!

Excellent job, everyone!

Thanks Bugeater.

MODOT did promise they’d meet in May and they did not disappoint! Clay’s Tweet is confirmed - The Joe Delaney Memorial Highway is officially a reality! Covid has backed up a lot of projects but fingers crossed that it will be up in time for the Chiefs Home Opener (just have no control over MODOT operations) and whenever it is complete, these signs will adorn I-435 for the next 20 years!

So massive congratulations to Clay and everything he did to tirelessly drive the online petitions, plus the secret Chiefs Planet member who covered the entire cost of the project, to Marty, to the unwavering support received by Vahe and The entire KC Star Sports Department and time Gabriella Pagan and the KSHB news team who did an incredible job covering the story - THANK YOU ALL!

As far as the BBQ Contest - definitely working on it. I’ve intentionally worked slow because I want to set the date on same weekend in October as a Chiefs home game and schedule release isn’t until next Wednesday but things will start intensifying quickly once that happens

So stick or unstick?

Let’s unstick for now. With all going on with the passing of Patteeu and the scare with Nzoner, that should be the attention.

When there is an update (and there will be one soon as a proposal is expected) I’ll post it and we will take it from there....)

(For all you codebreakers out there, my last post on this thread does reveal the location. I just cannot reveal publicly the location until things get more set in stone...)

Congrats.

Code broken. Marked as *Top Secret/Classified* :D
