VANCOUVER ISLAND WINDTALK

There's a plan in the works to spread Johnny Read's ashes at Cook St.
John's spoken wish was to go out with a bang, the bigger the better!!
With this in mind we are planning for a professional pyrotechnician to be on hand to launch 5 X 5" rockets, these will get about 500' of "air" before exploding in a colourful display, John would approve!
This stuff does not come cheap... 5 X 5" rockets@$25/ea. Permit @$100.
Insurance@$300. The pyro has generously agreed to do the whole thing for $75. I've spoken to a few people who are willing.
By a show of hands please let me know if you're in for a contribution to Johnny's last blast. Let's make this happen.
More = less here, 60 = $10/ea.

I`m in for whatever it takes.

Cool idea, put me down for $50.

Put Bobson down for $20.

K I'm in
Who do i give it to.?

Hi all,
Thanks for the excellent response.
I'm working with the pyro guy to make certain we get permits.
No dates yet, how about May/June when the weather's warmer.
Permit may take awhile, will keep you all posted.
I'll post a collection point for funds when we're all in.
Anybody with complimentary ideas welcome here too.

I'm in.

ditto!

R we attaching his ashes to the rockets or get them inside to give him a good spread? LOL

Not clear on the coin, who do we give it to and it's only $300 total plus the insurance? Who needs insurance, sounds way too steep and J would have never paid for THAT Let's get more rockets instead....

we launch them off my boat.. i dont think you will scratch the paint
and we can hide in the cabin:lol
And think we can out run the coast guard .
But think we sould call VIC. traffic so we dont shoot down and air planes
or helicopters.

Just let me know were to send the cash !! You guys are doing a great job !This is such a cool idea.Love it
