Next Wednesday, the company is having a Tailgating competition. While traditionally, this is an activity conducted outdoors involving numerous BBQ pits, the tailgating for this event will be done indoors. Our team was "voluntarily" signed up by the new team lead who believes this is an excellent teambuilding event. Apparently, he and some other team members agnonized for weeks to come up with a name and appropriate theme. One especially interesting one was team Hurricane. We planned to have giant fans and mist machines to simulate a small hurricane at our booth. Someone also suggested we all dress up like Katrina refugees....Luckily, that idea fell through in favor of a more politically correct, yet equally as "interesting" concept. Our new team name?? Team PowerMax. I should have suggest Team: Solarixx or something...Did I mention that our official decal is going to be this tachometer displaying the needle in the red section with a motto : To The Max!!!
Our theme color is Red because it's totally to the max. I mockingly suggested I should bring in some pig's blood with tofu since it's also red, but they took me seriously!! After convincing them that I actually had no clue how to make it, I was given the task of buying enough red tortillas to feed 300 people. Totally to the max.

This sounds....incredibly cheesy. So are you "tailgating" out of cubicles or something? Or are you creating little booths?
Also, what exactly is the competition? Best theme? Best food?
Competition is for best presentation and best food. We have some kinda soup thing that is supposedly award winning. We have these tables that we will be using. Some people actually brought in the back of a pickup truck last year. Apparently, this is a pretty hardcore competition.
awesome, take some pictures and show us. Cheesy or not, at least it is something different :)
With a name like PowerMax, you should bring some Powerthirst along...

To get back at ppl, be sure to add plenty of hot sauce. That way, their trip to the bathroom would be "to the max!"
