In Response To: HBO Mountain Bash SIGN-UPS (Schooly D)


: Hi

: Ok, so, this year there was no HBO Beach Party . While that in itself is a
: tragedy, I'd like to take a moment to remember retsamolah , the host of
: the HBOBP and a good friend. While he's still technically alive, he is
: most certainly dead in all of our hearts.

: So before we get started, I'd like to ask everyone to watch this video the
: TSD Eugooglizing Crew has thrown together, and remember...

:

: With that out of the way, let's move on.

:

:

: Introducing the HBO Mountain Bash (aka H-BOMB)

: We are now accepting applications for the HBO Mountain Bash in Park City, UT,
: the weekend of January 18 (MLK weekend)! And everyone's invited!

: WHAT:
: In the spirit of the HBO Beach Party, the HBO Mountain Bash will be a
: gathering of HBOers where we basically just have a good time for a
: weekend. Drinking, playing Halo, and skiing/snowboarding for those who are
: able. We will rent a cabin, possibly one or two vans (depending on how
: many people drive in), and run shit for a few days.

: Possible activities include: - Halo
: - hanging out with cool HBOers
: - hanging out with NartFOpc
: - drinking (for those of age)
: - probably a day of skiing/snowboarding somewhere
: - various snow-related shenanigans
: - going into town to flaunt our collective social awkwardness in a confident
: and extroverted manner because we're a large enough group that the
: diffusion of embarrassment is sufficient to bring it below everyone's
: personal threshold
: - grilling?

: WHEN:
: The weekend of January 18. MLK Jr Day is Jan 21 (Monday), so it gives us a
: long weekend to do silly things. That's Friday night, Saturday night, and
: Sunday night.

: WHERE:
: In or around Park City, UT. Exact location is TBD since it will depend on
: which cabin we rent, which will depend on how many people go. If you're
: booking a flight, look into flying into Salt Lake City

: EXPENSES:
: This is not like most LANs. It's not even like the Beach Party. Whereas with
: most LANs all you had to do was get to the destination, the HBOMB is more
: complicated. Here's a good summary of the kind of expenses you will be
: encountering: - $200-$250 for your share of a cabin for 3 nights (total
: cost -- looking for $50-$75 per person per night)
: - cost of transportation into/out of Salt Lake City
: - skiing/snowboarding equipment rental/passes (if desired, you don't have to)
: - pitching in for possible van rental (plus the cost of painting "THE
: D-TEAM" on the side)
: - pitching in for food/beer/soda/bribes

: Seems like a lot of cash, right? Maybe. But wouldn't you say it's worth it to
: be a part of one of the coolest HBO get-togethers HBO has ever produced?
: This party is going to be the stuff of legends, man.

: DIFFICULTY
: If you do decide to go, I would immensely prefer if you fly in on Friday and
: fly out on Monday. This is because the cabin will be rented for those days
: anyway, and if you spend less than the full time there, we have to decide
: if (a) you pay for your share of the cabin for a night you're not there,
: or (b) we make everyone cover your share of the cost for the night you
: didn't stay

: WHY
: If you attend the HBOMB, not only will you get to hang out with Schooly D :

: But you'll ALSO get to hang out with NartFOpc !

:

: I seriously don't understand why you haven't already hopped in your car and
: started driving Park City-bound.

: I'M IN, SCHOOLY. WHERE DO I SIGN UP?
: If you're interested, send me an email at schoolyd@teamschoolyd.org with
: the following information: - your HBO Forum handle
: - a brief bio if you don't think I know you

: (the HBOMB Admissions Crew reserves the right to reject any application, but
: I can pretty much guarantee you we won't reject yours)

: Fortune favors the bold . Go for it, tiger. Send that email, and resign
: yourself to having your name permanently attached to one of the grandest
: events in HBO's history.

You make a very appealing case. Unfortunately, I don't do well in snow and ice, so my attendance would require some extra expense. I'm thinking a helicopter drop on a snowmobile James-Bond style would enable me to attend. Taking donations now. The inevitable video cannot be reproduced and distributed without my consent.
