Some people (who
shall remain nameless but tend to build awesome coolers for said event)
go way above and beyond providing foodstuffs...yet say things like "Oh,
just buy me a lollipop" when one tries to hand him cash. So, Jim and I
take matters into our own hands (well, Jim is the local guy buying
stuff, it was my idea, and Jay liked it too).
Heck, yeah! Montblack musta spent $250 on food for last year's
shin-dig, and wouldn't take a dime in return. Of course, he DID give
all of our beer away to those thirsty CFIs, but still...
Aside from his expenses, I think he deserves cash just for risking jail
time to get all the stuff (grills, and other prohibited fire-making
devices) out to our campsite. That big yellow "Volunteer" t-shirt he
wears has (thus far) gotten him past the gendarmes, but his luck can't
hold forever.
But remember: If you can't spring $$$ in advance, just remember to
bring a 6-pack of good beer. If things work out like last year, we'll
need as much as we can get...
