Hello Fellow Redshirt! Please accept our Humbug's personal invitation to PXL's 6015 Spring Doin's. If you have ever wanted to bust a gut or share a brew with our crew this will be your first opportunity of the year. We'll be heading to Tehachapi, in the mountains between Bakersfield and Mojave, on Friday April 23 through Sunday April 25, 2010.
You see our Humbug, "Ptomaine Timbo" Gillespie and his committee of plucky Graybeards, have put together a weekend of fun and shenanigans befitting the 100th anniversary of the City of Tehachapi and the majesty of the Sierras Nevada and Tehachapi Mountains. We'll be the guests of the Visco Sports Center, four miles east of Tehachapi, a nice flat space with easy RV access, and plenty of pavement for your rig or grass for your tent. We'll even throw in a few trees to boot! And on Sunday we'll be mounting an erection to the geography and history of the area at Tehachapi's Centenary Pavilion.
So Brother, Clamp with one of the friendliest, luckiest and warmest chapters in all of ECV! Plus at PXL the price is always right, and our food is always first rate. This year our Graybeards have even put our longtime ClampChef, Ptomaine Timbo, in charge of our doin's, so you have his personal guarantee of first rate victuals. Timbo's SouChefs-in-Waiting will make sure that his multi-award winning beans will be up front and center on Saturday night's menu, along with plenty of steak, and whatever else was too slow to get out of their way on their ride to Tehachapi. Our spread always aims to beat the meat of Clampouts charging thrice the price.
So how do we keep prices so low? Well by making friends with folks like the citizens of Tehachapi which often gets us a break on site fees. Then there is the matter of the bar. Rather than spend money on beer trucks, booze, ABC licenses and special insurance riders, our Clampouts are strictly SOB (Share Our Booze) affairs. While the chapter provides no alcohol, our experience is that red shirts are never afraid to share, and we've yet to see a redshirt leave thirsty so long as he's been generous with his brothers. The PXL bar is always open to provide mixers, snacks, camaraderie and a place to park your bounty, but frankly, we'd much rather have your company than take your last plugged nickel; and keep in mind that we'll even let you keep the nickel if you come to our event pre-paid. Mail your dust in by April 19th, and earn $5 off each admission.
And while you're about it, why not bring us your favorite PBC? PXL has been at the forefront of conducting initiations that emphasize our Clamping traditions, with a history lesson second to none by 2007 Clamper of the Year, PXP Gene "Dickhead" Duncker, and tasks sufficient to test the sense of humor of any serious PBC seeking to join our order. Our initiations are clean, memorable, and designed to encourage our newest brothers to return. Bring your best blind buddies and we will turn them into CLAMPERS!
