Stoners - Boulderfest Beer Fund Donations

[peter]

Stoners:

Last year an anonymous, rich benefactor donated the beer to Boulderfest, on behalf of the fictional "Nova Scotia Trad Climbers Association".

This year, the anonymous benefactor is hoping that the Stoners Anarcho Climbing Collective (SACC) will make the same donation.

As we have no bylaws, meetings, budget or establish procedure to consider such ideas, I am bringing the "motion" here.

Can we each come up with about $20? We are probably the only climbers in Halifax with real jobs (some might say the only real climbers in Halifax, with or without jobs).

If you are willing and able, I will collect and buy.

Steve P, Sean K, Peter, Thom, Mike, Sean C., Steve F. ... who else? We need about $150, if my memory serves me correctly.

When opening your wallet, please think if the poor, beer-starved children that will attend Boulderfest and give generously.

Don't judge them harshly as a result of their religion (or lack thereof), gender (or lack their of), hair length (surplus thereof), attitide toward the military (ignorance is bliss), ridiculous hats (winter hats in summer?), love of hackey sack, Ultimate and all things flakey (what's that about?), inability to climb while wearing a shirt of any description, and, of course, please ignore entirely when giving, the limited, slacker, and underachieving nature of the climbing style, sometimes called "Bouldering", that they love. You will make a child so, so happy.

I'm in for 20$ too peter.

[Stevo]

Err...lets get this straight Peter, you are supposedly on the wagon, most young boulderers don't drink and go to bed early, worried about their V numbers the next day, so you are asking me to throw in $20 to fund Kellys beer habit??

[Stevo]

Oh yeah, and when the fat bastard earns about three times as much as I do??

[Stevo]

....his belly already resembles a third term pregnancy, but no, youre right, there are needy children out there and I wouldn't want to be thought of as Scrooge-like, so I will cough up.

Cheers
Steve

Stevo:

This is all part of a master plan, to allow us to top out on all their so-called problems, once all Boulderers look like this (Sean Kelly, not to scale): http://www.williams.gi/what_is_a_beer_gut.htm

[mike]

ummmm- If there's a ticket somehow arrangable for me... I could probably cough up for some beer.

Might be able to drum up a sound system and a dj too. I dunno if the fans of the high v's are into that sort of thing though.

Mike

how exactly to you propose to have a sound system work on Dover Island that has no electricity?

[peter]

Sounds like a dare, Mike!

[zig]

i almost had a dj 2 yrs ago but he backed out at the last minute. you can rent some "silent" generators for electricity

[Kenny Mac]

hey hey guys been a while.
so i am guessing that i missed the tickets for the fest, but if there is some way, some hope that i could snake in there it would be killer.
you know relive the dream of bouldering.


cheers

[mike]

Dood- that's kinda of a dumb question- sort of like how do you plan to get to Dover Island when it has no bridge.

[mike]

ok- I've got emails sent out to a few people who might be willing to play...or know people willing to play. I'll keep ya'll posted as to what's going on. And yes- there are silent generators for rent- surprisingly cheap- surprisingly quiet. Last time I used one- we kept walking over to it to start it up to find it was already running.

[martha]

Do people want a DJ at boulderfest though?

[Eager]

I wonder how much it would cost to get one of those beer tents that Mcfarlands rents? In case the weather gets like it did last year! plus a good place to store beer, hide from the sun, or house a dj!

[martha]

I can call and find out how much, and I'll talk to the rest of the board about it.

Eager...what's with your hair? Man! I was like, who is that guy Zig is filming? with the locks!!

looking fine my friend.

[Fred]

I don't want a dj

but that's just my 2 cents

[martha]

I'm with Fred on that.

Dover is peaceful and beautiful. Part of the reason i think people love to go there.

not to mention...not everyone will like the music that the DJ may play.

[Eager]

Yeah the hair, kinda Rock Starish, I've been trying to convince my buddy Zac to let me in his band. I've unfortunately got a hair appointment in an hour, mostly because I can't see the road when I'm driving anymore.

You like the Shag Eh?

[Zamboni]

Eager,

Nice pic, where was that at? The house thing isn't going to happen for me this year so I'm interested in those little play boat things. Whens the next time you guys are heading out.

Conan.

[Eager]

Not sure, I've been pretty busy recently, best to wait until it warms up a bit!
