Holiday Party on December 8. Learn more! about the food and fun.
Read a little bit! about Free Geek friend Leo Westwind.

Please save the night of Saturday, December 8th for an awesome,

Free Geek in the past year, and generally celebrate how cool we all
are.

Joining in the celebration will be:

* Stencil art - bring clothing to slap washable, permanent stencil art onto!
* A cute girl who raps about geeks and food by the name of Oven Mitts

Free Geek Holiday Party and Leo Westwind Benefit!! W00t!
Saturday, Dec. 8th
8pm-1am
@ Free Geek
1731 SE 10th Ave.
Portland, OR 97214

Please feel free to invite a friend or two to the show. Tell 'em
about how cool the Geek is and have 'em bring some underwear to
stencil a cool design onto.

This year, we'll also be holding a live pie and art auction to
benefit the child of Free Geek collective member Michael Westwind.
Leo Westwind has been in and out of hospitals regularly in the past
year to treat the decreased liver and heart function caused by
Alagille Syndrome. The cost of these trips to his family has been
upwards of $10,000, and promises to be much more in the future.
We're asking attendees to consider bringing or buying a pie or
piece of art at the party to help the family.

Please read the email with the subject "Leo Westwind Update"
(directly following this email) for more details about donating
stuff for the auction and other ways you can help. In the
meantime, if you'd like to donate cash, please visit
http://freegeek.org/leofund for the Paypal link.

If you'd like to help set up for the party or have any questions,
feel free to send an email to events-***@public.gmane.org

Thanks for supporting your friendly neighborhood coolest non-profit
ever, and we'll see you in a couple weeks!
