I read your  part about the Ptolemy website being down.  I am on the Ptolemy board of  directors.  I don&#8217;t know why it is down\/expired, but I sent word to the  folks who can get it taken care of.  Thanks.  I doubt anyone would have  noticed anytime soon. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:courier new;\">As far as your question on the blog about the dues, they are 330 if paid  after Dec 2 (300 if before).  That gets you into 7+ parties each year for  free, all of which you get to drink for free I believe.  Plus you get to  ride on the floats in 2-3 parades (Liberty Bowl, St. Patrick&#8217;s Day, and  Kemet Jubilee parade in May).  If we have just 7 parties and 2 parades, that  works out to about $36 a party.  I doubt most folks can go out 9 times and  spend that little.  I know I can&#8217;t.  We also have a Happy Hour every month  at a different location (month 1 downtown, month 2 midtown, month 3 east  memphis, etc).  I hope that explains what&#8217;s going on.  Currently we have  over 70 members and we expect to pick up another 25+ by the end of the  month.  I hope my long answer gives you a better understanding.  If you have  any questions, please let me know. <\/p>\n<p><\/span>Thanks for the info, Philip.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Philip Cruzen, the Ptolemy Krewe board member who saw my post about their website being down, sent the following e-mail and gave me permission to post it: Hey I&#8217;ve started reading your blog alot in the last two months.
