An­oth­er ini­tia­tive was pay­ing peo­ple to par­ty. Munroe ex­plained that if a posse par­ties hearti­ly all night long they just might win the "En­er­gy Com­pe­ti­tion." A break­down lists the first prize as $25,000; sec­ond, $15,000; third, $10,000 and fourth as $8,000. "If you have the biggest posse, you could win an ex­tra $10,000. You reg­is­ter at the gate. There are some peo­ple who come with 30 and 40 peo­ple." Like a ma­gi­cian who knows all the tricks, Munroe said: "We are pay­ing the same night."
