I would be ok with pitching in like 10 bucks... (i am assuming that there are at
least 10 of us there)

I think power will be a necissity baised on past experiences... (The gutter
train ran 1 motor for about 6 hours on 1 9 volt battery, and less on a
rechargable..)

That's a lot of batteries... Besides did I not hear that the other derek may be
comming with one of his creations (tilt-a-wirl man) if so then I don't think he
would want to use batteries...

(...) Like Calum said before, I don't think we should have to PAY to be there (don't some groups get PAID to be at shows?). But electricity is nice in our modern times, and it's a good time, so you can count me in for another $10. -Greg (21 years ago, 29-Sep-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.loc.ca.on)
