2018 Jamboree 2018 Dirty Scouts Jamboree Main Discussion

[Matt Derrick]

Hey folks, so it's time to start thinking about this year's jamboree and what we'd all like to see happen this year.

Propose ideas, etc, and let's get the ball rolling on organizing this event!

we'll definitely need volunteers to help setup/tear down anything we end up doing!

in previous years we had people play music, had an open bar, and the story telling night went really well, so i think we should include those things

also probably the obligatory exploring the slabs, going to the hotsprings, maybe a we could mob the slab city golf course?

Ha! There's a golf course. Just looked at the video. Thats rad. Im down. The last time I played was 2 years ago at a tournament, in a retirement community . Also the last time I shroomed. HILARIOUS!

Count me in for volunteering. I'll do whatever I can to be there to help.

 

[Hillbilly Castro]

Still happening at slabs? I heard corn left the library or something? Does that change anything?

 

[croc]

Yoooo, i cannot fucking wait!! I convinced a good friend to set her wedding for November so I could go to both that and jambo LOL
@Koala and I want to volunteer for set up!
If there are other travelers who like to do stand up, an open mic could be fun

Corn may no longer run things at the library but it is now in the hands of Andrew, @VikingAdventurer , so to answer your question, no, it doesn't change anything.

October? Which weekend?

I'll be there early to set up shop and get the jambo running. Glad youre thinking about doing it later. 2 years ago was ridiculously hot

@Matt Derrick - I'm happy to help with setup (or anything else) if I can make it down in time

 

[james22]

if i can make it i'll help with taking the stuff down

Im not going to be able to come. But im curious. If i sent @Matt Derrick 10-20 large jars of vegemite and a 6 pack or two of assorted aussie beer. Could you guys have a vegemite eating contest? The person who finishes their jar of vegemite first gets the 6 pack of beer? Of course it would have to be filmed so id be able to see it haha

I think this is entirely doable and I am all about it.

 

[Deleted member 22054]

Id cover all the costs of the vegemite, beer and the shipping costs. But for me to actually get there isnt going to happen sadly.

Is vegemite like marmite at all?

 

[Cornelius Vango]

As usual, were going to need folks to help haul out trash, keep the kitchen tidy and pick up in general. Everyone can help with keeping watch over the space and looking out for each other in the desert heat.

ive never had marmite. Been told its similar tho

 

[Koala]

Can you change it to 10 to 20 six packs of beer and 6 jars of vegemite @Sole Survivor? 6 jars would be PLENTY!! Even for a contest. Coopers Sparkling Ale would be a crowd favorite I reckon.

And yes it's like marmite. Pretty much identical.

Exactly how rich do you think i am??? Back 3 years ago and on your first trip to australia i had australia's most beat up and dilapidated suburu. If you remember the heater core went when leaving the pub. (That was that funny smell we were smelling) and things gradually got worse... Yes i now own a late model toyota hilux ute. And it is reliable as fuck. Turn key and go. And service it occasionly BUT its only a poverty pack trim level, 2wd, thirsty petrol engined ute. No 4x4, mid level or top of the range trim pack, or fuel efficient turbo diesel engine. (All of that would have been another 10-20 grand more) And its under finance as well. Which means i gotta make payments. Dont be greedy.

With being said i can do a six pack of coopers if you think that would be well received. Im not much of a beer drinker. I was originaly thinking 6 different cans of aussie beers, like: VB, XXXX gold, Tooheys extra dry, Carlton Dry etc. Failing that a bottle of bunderberg rum.
