Default Nall needs Wesse!

There are many great aspects to our beloved hobby, and to most, the friendships that are formed are the most important. Almost all of my closest friends have come from this hobby, and now I have friends all over the world.

One such friend is Wesse from Sweden. Wesse popped onto the Giants last year, and within days he had found his way into everyone's heart. His love of "Japalenos" (jalapeños for those who have not heard Wesse speak), "FUT TA BAA RAA DIO's" and his general love of life is infectious. Anyone that has seen one of Wesse's videos or has had the chance to meet him walks away with a smile.

Last year Bill Hemple brought Wesse over to attend Joe Nall. Wesse brought two of his Swede friends with him, and their appearance is now legendary. From the pictures I have seen and the stories I have heard , Wesse added a new level of positivity to an already amazing event.

This year, we decided to do a Flying "Japaleno" contest at the Nall in honor of Wesse. (See link here: FLYING "JAPALENO CONTEST ) It was suggested by members that the man himself should be in attendance to judge the contest! It was also suggested that the Flyinggiants should attempt to raise the funds to purchase the plane tickets. Instantly a Paypal account was created, and the fundraiser began.

The WESSE Joe Nall fund is here: www.paypal.com
The email address to send payments to is: stephencinch@gmail.com

This paypal account is only for this purpose.
A daily accounting of the total will be posted to this thread.
As of Today 2/25/2009 we have $370.87 and a few checks on the way in.

I really think we can make this happen.

So let's do it guys!
NALL needs WESSE!

I've sent money. Now if we get 100 of our 30,000 FG brothers to send $20 each it will be done.

Before donating, just think, someday it might be you we're raising money for...for whatever reason you might need!!

HELP A BROTHER OUT!!!

Guy's come on and hit the paypal account for a cool guy. If we all just sent a little it will happen. I see a bunch of guys on this thread. Lets see some action. Think about all the videos we have laughed at because of him. In person he's even better. It's kinda like having a walking comic non stop for a week!
