Bad karma to those of you who said they would come out and didn't and buckets of good stuff to those and the unexpected people that did.

Veni, Lawrence, Connie, Ryan, Carrie and their friends.. Hell... even Nabs made a cameo appearance to grace us with his sandwich labeling skillz!

The crew made 300 sandwiches in record time and we headed out to hand them out before the forecast snow came.

I am guilty of thinking they are all junkies with no hope for a better future but no one needs to fight the sting of Old Man Winters touch.

It was really cold out there and I felt the chill even though I had layers of technical outerwear on. I do not envy those who have to try and make it through tonight, or any other winter night, without warm shelter.

To be acknowledged by those who appreciated the handout brought a smile to my face and I hoped that we gave them a bit more strength to make it through the night.

Thanks again to everyone that helped with the event this year and I hope to see you all again at the next one.

I'm not gonna bother making any excuses for not being able to make it, but I do apologize for not coming. :(

[ebbomega]

I'm sorry I didn't make it, but fwiw I didn't promise to in the first place because I knew I'd be working through it.

[Veni*C]

thanks for the opportunity/experience..... like i said it was too cold to feel the tingly warm feeling i got.. but i knew it was there... :)

note for next year... turkey or bust!!!! *throws pbj sandwich on the gound*

[Carrie]

winston ate like 2 of those PB&J sandwich and I took a bite out of them myself... they were delicious..


organic PB and triple berry Jam.. wtf . thats some classy shit.

[Veni*C]

oh i know.. they were delicious.... i think its cause they probably get so much pbj all the time.. it was weird they didnt want ham though.. its all about turkey!!! lol...

[MC Hammered]

Next year they will want Nutella!

[stephen_c]

i feel... ashamed.


i can do better next year.

[Carrie]

mmm nutella

can we get salami?

[cutienikki]

I can't wait for next year! sorry i couldn't come out with you guys but next year I'm doing the walk with you guys

yes nutella would be awesome

[Veni*C]

next year we just need more turkey and socks!!! those socks were so awesome... good idea connie!! :)

[cutienikki]

yea for sure! where there deals on those socks?

I could buy a shit load of gloves too :P

(carrie here's me being a nerd :P)

[MC Hammered]

We need socks that can double as mittens

[cutienikki]

since i didn't go on the walk with you guys, how does handing out clothes work? is it first person you see you give them a peice of clothes or does it go to the shelters?


ps. thanks again Winston for arranging this!

[MC Hammered]

I ended up collecting clothes and I'll drop off the bags to Union Gospel Mission and let them do the rest.

For the socks it was up to the discretion of the person doing the handing out.

Our rule was if they had a laptop bag, wearing Gucci or had an iPod going they didn't qualify.

[g!ggles]

best peanut butter and jelly sandwich EVER :)
