Revision 2013 - Damages
category: parties [glöplog]
E-Werk is not that big : it could be done in a jiffy.
@styx^hcr - looks like you've already got a couple of willing volunteers for the cleanup already! From someone who regularly helps organise events (albeit on a more regular basis - every weekend for a season) - capitalise on that and milk them for all that they are worth.
As I'm sure you know - no one puts their hand up to clean the dunnies (toilets) or clean the barby (bbq) and empty the driptray. No-one.
Work 'em hard baby!

@ringofyre: Arrive here on monday to clean everything up. You´re our hero or STFU.
KTHXBYE =D

@T$ -
I think you've come out swinging at the wrong person.
One of the groups I volunteer for is my daughter's school Parent and Citizens Committee. We fund-raise for the school. One of the things we do to raise much needed money for the school is to hold separate "discos" once a term for the junior and senior kids. Fully organised, catered and chaperoned.
Last term we held one, we raised (after costs) more than $1000. All money going back into the school.
Unfortunately during the later (senior) session some of the kids decided to trash one of the toilet blocks. And I mean trash. Cisterns knocked off the wall, toilets kicked out of their footings, sinks and plumbing pulled out of fittings, graffiti and of course flooding. The cleanup was pretty fucking awful and disgusting I must say. I know, me and a couple of other dads did it. All of it.
Sadly since the event was out of school hours and hosted by the P&C the Dept. of Ed. would not pay for the repairs. As the P&C we have insurance and we were able to make a claim. And pay a frankly fucking massive excess - not to mention the increase to our premiums. Again, all money that had been supposed to go towards infrastructure at the school.
Rather than penalise the whole senior group due to a few bad apples (we have a good idea who did it but no proof) by NOT having a disco this term we decided to raise the entrance fee by a couple of bucks to try and regain some of the costs.
Well... As you might imagine we had howls of anger and derision from the parents about this. "How could we be charging their children more money for the same 'service' just because of a minor mishap?" and such like. Until we pointed out to them that it was in high likelihood that it was one their precious little angels that caused the damage and cost us and the school nearly $4000 in repairs and countless hours of cleanup time.
If Revision wasn't held literally 10s of thousands of kilometres away from me I would have gladly offered my plastering and painting expertise for the tidyup. But then again maybe you should look to someone like the guy who was hanging shit on the organisers for being *that* old for complaining about the stickers being left on walls etc. for some help.
I hope there's not too much work left for you to do today.

Spoken truly like a man who's going to be more than happy to pay an extra "Puke Cleaning Fee" next year?
Actually after a think and a few beers: Hatikvah's response made me pause for thought.
I've helped to organise quite a lot of community oriented events.
Sadly there is a large amount of people out there who think that attending such an event means they can behave as tho tho they have no social responsibilities.
Including behaving as tho they are literally animals. Pissing, shitting and other bodily functions.
If "I" were the organisers for Revision next year I would quite happily charge an extra "Cleaning up Fee" for those participants I deemed were likely to leave a mess. Including Hatikvah's vomit cleanup.
Aside from that I'd suggest that if people want to have stickers to promote themselves/their group/ thier demo then they can pay a premium to have those stickers displayed everywhere and then removed. That money can go towards paying cleaners to remove stickers & fix the problems that result from from having the stickers applied in the 1st place. & cleaning up Hatikvah's vomit.

I have noticed there's a turn from stickers towards fridge magnets this year.

I refer magnets honestly, since I would convert any stickers I saved to magnets anyway. Easier to take off / move around or put in places who wouldn't appreciate stickers (desk area at work).by Gargaj:

Hey, I have a terrific idea! Why not promote yourself/your group with a release instead? I think it is way more effective and notable than a sticker on the toilet's wall...
ringofyre: youre a complete retard go kill yourself.
*You're* *go and kill yourself*
