Airspeed Appreciation Night
« on: October 24, 2006, 04:59:58 PM »
I've been thinking about Airspeed closing and, like most of us I'm sure, felt like I wanted to do something for the guys. I came up with this idea and, after a quick survey of folk, there seems to be an appetite for something like this. So here goes nothing...

Airspeed Appreciation Night
Friday, Nov. 3 at 7 p.m.
Shark Club
20169 88th Ave. in Langley, B.C. (beside the Sandman Hotel in Walnut Grove)
Tickets: $15, and include a burger, fries and sleeve of beer
There will be a 50/50 draw, maybe a raffle/door prizes and a few surprises.


What's the deal?
Yes, it's an excuse to party, but it's also a chance for all of us to thank the guys for four years of absolutely fantastic service. If you're feeling guilty about getting all that free advice and/or deals on parts, this is an opportunity for karmic top-up. All proceeds will go to Geoff and Jim to help pay the bills or go on a bender or something... And mostly, because it's really all about the love. :wub:

A couple of important notes:
* We need folk to arrive at 7 p.m. sharp, cos shortly thereafter Shark Club staff will have to sell our seats. It is a Friday night afterall...

* The Shark Club has been fantastic to us in offering up space (they'd even be willing to put on a mini car show, if the weather's nice), but the reservation is for a minimum of 75. The good news is that they can hold a maximum of 240 patrons... so if there's a lot of interest, they will totally accommodate us. I'm  rinting 100 tickets -- but would LOVE to print more.

:!: I'll be at Airspeed Saturday afternoon (about 1 p.m. on) if you want to buy tickets. If you can't make it this weekend, then give me a shout. I gotta know a rough estimate of our numbers by next Wednesday.

Simone @ 604.524.1010 (if I'm not home leave a message)

Anyone interested in donating raffle prizes (anything you can think of) please send me a PM. I'm also wrestling up some kind volunteers to sell tickets... will update later with that info.

Sometimes I get the feeling the whole world is against me, but deep down I know that's not true. Some smaller countries are neutral.
