Red Nose District NEWSLETTER #1

Hello, all you honkin' headbangers,

Here is the first in a few (very few cuz we leave so dang sooon) letters with some thoughts on a few deets about yer home away from home.
Fast and furious, here they are:

1) SIGN~UP !!!
We need all members to sign up ASAP! If you are hummin and hawin in the wings...come on in, the water is fine!! We need to know how many we are, and how much our budget is, and if we need to start cutting down. We also need to have a meal head count soon so that the kitchen folks can start shoppin!! YUM!


2)KITCHEN:
couple of things needed:

COOKS!!
COOLER transpo folks...as people head out to the playa, we need food brought in from various locations...if you have room then we have a cooler fer you and who knows, you may be rewarded fer yer efforts if need be...cut to front of line one night if that entices ya!!

Here is a word from our fabulous Kitchen wrangler:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PLEASE HELP WITH FOOD DELIVERY!!!!

Hello, everyone.  My name is Mike, aka Doc Lightning.  I have the pleasure of being your Kitchen Manager this year.

Right now, I need to know anyone who will be traveling with a large vehicle later in the week (say, Wednesday and beyond) to the Playa and from where.  This is because RND uses a lot of food and this cannot be delivered to the playa in one blow.  Thus, throughout the week, I need people who are bringing large vehicles to volunteer to bring a few coolers full of food for us to eat.

In return for volunteering your vehicle and schlepping coolers, I will allow the people in the vehicle to go first in line for dinner that night (and I might grant the occasional free meal).  As an additional benefit, you (and the rest of us) get to...eat!  If I get no volunteers, then we don't get to eat.  And that would make us all very sad.  :-(

My E-mail is MikeGinnyMD (at) gmail.

Thank you all in advance.

-Doc "Your Friendly Kitchen Gestapo" Lightning

Next is the topic of early arrivals: Who wants to come in before the mass public entrance on Sunday at midnight to help git the District up to speed in time for the citizens of BRC?
Please let us know if you have desire to help us. Email yer sub-camp leader and we will putcha on the list.

We presently have 5 scholarships, which, just to reiterate, are free memberships given to 5 people who want to bust ass, on the tear down primarily (for this is where we have the least amount of enthusiasm).

So, to date we have:
Alexei who is helping with Nome set up and tear down, and food prep leader early arrival week
Kelvis (Nome's nephew) who is game on Nome set up and tear down etc.
Ashley and Elizabeth and Emily all similarly on tear down etc. Elizabeth and Emily are Newbies and I always feel a lil hesitant about putting Newbie's on a short leash...sooooo....
IF you really wanted to be considered for a scholarship...please chime in now we want to hear from you.

We would like to entice Reggie to head up our Rigging dept. if anyone is near him and can hum nicely in his ear asking him in a honey sweet voice what it would take to make it fun for him...please warm up yer hummer...er...humming abilities.

Other jobs that are up for grabbing are: STAGE MANAGER(S) and SOUND ENGINEERS and GREETING COMMITTEE....any of these yer area of delight?
Let us know yo!!

LASTLY: We have RND Shwag!!  T~shirts and Tanks and car door magnets! We just put that up on the sign up page...so if you signed up before we added these items and you think you wanna sport some style...go back and git it!

NOOOOOOoooooo most LASTLY....VERY EXCITING!!! The High Chair Stilt Bar is scheming and theming like mad fiendings to bring you 5 themes this year. Whether you are a stilter or not, you can drink if you dress in kind. The themes this year are:

In fact if someone has a shitty broken electric guitar (u know, like somethin all crappy with no strings) that they don’t care about. Or one of those "guitar hero" toy guitars layin around, I’d be stoked to have it for the rocker night.

We are minutes away peeps!
