gapertimmy Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 When one of the fellow ballers on the site has to spend some time in the unsavory hospital environs, I think it is always a good idea to send some support their way. Porter is a great guy and really does alot to keep things running here on cc.com (and keep many of us entertained with his posts as well). So I thought it would be cool to try to pool some resources and either send him some bling to offset costs, or buy him a schwag bag to help him get stoked to get better. I know he has been wanting to get a BC ski setup for a while, but I'm open to suggestions/comments/speculation on how we can send some stoke his way. Quote
G-spotter Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 Get a keg and have a Drink Porter for Porter marathon! Quote
Bug Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 Get a keg and have a Drink Porter for Porter marathon! Beer here too! Quote
Alpinfox Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 Hey guys, This is a really generous thing for you to do. I'll certainly contribute. Hopefully Porter's insurance will be covering nearly all of his medical bills, but I haven't heard anything about that yet. Quote
gapertimmy Posted March 20, 2007 Author Posted March 20, 2007 Well, if nobody says otherwise, I think stoking him out with some gear would do wonders for his 'force'. Pax do you know of anything else he's been really wanting gear-wise? If not I think styling him out with some ski stuff would make him happy. Any other ideas, post them here. I can try to work with some of our sponsors to get some stuff either donated or at cost. I will get a paypal doante button setup, but think we can also just pass the hat at Sausage Fest to get him something. Quote
Weekend_Climberz Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 How about you give his little send-bot something, too: Maybe another bag of fries Quote
gapertimmy Posted March 20, 2007 Author Posted March 20, 2007 Good call on the micro send-bot boy. I bet his toys are cheaper than dad's toys! Here is a PayPal donation button. Anyone who chips in will be added to the normal cc.com donors list (that i'm working to get back in to affect on the new message board system) I realize some don't have $ to donate, but your thoughts and positive vibes mean just as much. Thanks Quote
Dechristo Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 ...I'm open to suggestions/comments/speculation on how we can send some stoke his way. I believe he's always lusted for a Patagucci TaunTaun Quote

gapertimmy Posted March 21, 2007 Author Posted March 21, 2007 (edited) Thanks to those who have sent some $ in. Please be sure to send me a PM so I can link up your avatar-name to the donation. For non-paypaler's, checks/cash can be sent to cc.com world-wide headquarters: Eightequals Designs, LLC 61535 S Highway 97 Suite 9-203 Bend, OR 97702 Also, sending him a card or a note I'm sure would lift his spirits too: Porter Hammer Swedish Hospital, Rm849 747 Broadway Seattle, WA 98122 As alpinfox said, no flowers can be sent there...

Alpinfox Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 Here is Porter's new mailing address: Porter Hammer Swedish Hospital, Rm849 747 Broadway Seattle, WA 98122 I'm not sure if flowers are OK in the new place or not, so best to hold off on those for the time being. Quote

gapertimmy Posted April 11, 2007 Author Posted April 11, 2007 Thanks to everyone who chipped in. Oly is now the proud owner of a brand new AT ski setup. Welcome to the darkside young man! Seriously though, thanks to everyone who sent cards, thoughts, + vibes. It was super cool to see the outpouring of support from this community. Quote
olyclimber Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 Well thanks to everyone, it certainly made me feel pretty good to know you cared about me. I can't wait to get out there in the snow each winter. Timmay has promised lessons! sickie I just went to the doctor and he told me that I shouldn't be climbing (because of my funked up arm) for 6 months! CRAP!!!!! Thats September!!! Well, plenty of time to get the AT setup tuned up and ready to go. Thanks again! I'll be putting it to good use. Look for me falling down a snow slope on a mountain near you soon. Quote
Kat_Roslyn Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 Frikkin quit complaining. I can't walk or exercise for another two months, shit. You can complain all you want, just jokin. September is the best time to climb anyway. I will go hiking with you, I should be up to it in two months. And, I'll surely go skiing with you this season, I will be sub-par I expect. Quote
ken4ord Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 I don't really want to know how Wet-spot found out. Quote
