:cracks knuckles:
Ok, time to break out the big guns. I am posting this topic to gauge for interest. This year, I am going to be teaming up again with Sciggles, and we are aiming at building the craziest, zaniest, most out there team for GISHWES. Interested applicants should be bold, have no fear of making complete idiots of themselves, and realize that its not about winning its about getting out there having a LOT of fun, and injecting our own flavor of Wyrmy insanity-stew into the world.

If you are interested, and want to join the team, apply here in the comments. Answer the following questions, and we will pick our team mates in this journey of instigated absurdity in preparation for this August.


Questions- (fill in your own answers, unless you happen to be a clone of me that I am currently unaware of. In which case, wtf, who in their right mind would clone ME of all people?!?!)


Name: D Walker

Nicknames : Dani, HopefulMonster, Hey You! Get away from my car!

Age/ location / free time status: (coughcoughmumble) thirtysomething, CT, freelancer and The Wyrm Mother aka Fluffeesi, so not a TON of time but flexible schedule

Interests / skills: Supernatural, art, Wyrms, frolicking with the local wildlife.
Skills are the usual artsy fartsy stuff, and juggling an insane but adorable toddler while attempting to convince a 70+ lb dog that no! No walkies does NOT, in fact, mean to chase that squirrel on the neighbors tree omgrightnowthisveryminutequickitsgettingaway while crossing a busy street and dragging mommy and little sister along behind you. I also play a mean kazoo.

Are you committed?: Wait....AM I, or SHOULD I be? No to the first, almost certainly to the second.
In all seriousness, last year was insane, and our first try at this. I am ashamed at the number of items I did NOT complete. Hence, I promise to do my absolute 127% best to complete my items to the best of my ability! Or at least to the most hilarious results I can manage.

Are you able to cover your sign up fee, which last year was a 20$ donation to benefit Random Acts, Misha's charity:
Eeeeeeyp. I'm reasonably certain Starbucks can live without my patronage for a few days. (If I'm wrong, and the Bucks closes down as a result, I will wear black for a month and hide my head in shame)

If you flake out, you understand you will be subject to heckling, razzing, and possibly a flogging with angel hair spaghetti dipped in boysenberry jam, right? Yup! I wouldn't have it any other way!

You understand that taking part in GISHWES is a potentially life changing event, and will probably alter the way you look at and interact with life, other human beings, challenges, and possibly domestic poultry in the future?:
Yes. Also, toast makes lousy underwear.....

Congrats! You've filled out the application. Now, sit by your computer and obsess about hearing back from us that you are IN. Then, weep tears of joy. Followed shortly by tears of sadness/horror as you begin to contemplate what exactly you've gotten yourself into.

Age/ location / free time status: Grown-up (20 in a week and a bit), South Africa (could be in one of two cities, depending on when GISHWES is), full-time student at university but with a flexible schedule (in other words I can skip a week of lectures if I need to).

Interests / skills: CAN DRIVE AND HAVE MY OWN CAR! Also have access to a very large student body and many talented friends. Brave when I need to be, very convincing, can draw, paint, sing (badly), play the piano (also badly), cook, sculpt (even more badly), have access to other people's houses to accomplish things that need kitchens/space/real people things. Also willing to beg/borrow/steal people/facilities/resources from residence and university. Have access to horses and can ride, physically fit, unlimited wifi (YAY)... uhm, what else can I do that's useful... Wherever I am I'll be in a large city with access to THINGS like shops, crowds, young people, older people, children, pets, landmarks... Yeah. Ask me to do anything weird involving lots of people and potential embarrassment, and I probably will.

Are you committed?: Yep! I was going to do it with my friends, but I'm worried that they'll be studenty and not get their acts together. Besides, international teams ftw!

Are you able to cover your sign up fee, which last year was a 20$ donation to benefit Random Acts, Misha's charity: Definitely. I'll save up.


If you flake out, you understand you will be subject to heckling, razzing, and possibly a flogging with angel hair spaghetti dipped in boysenberry jam, right? Won't flake out. Thought about this hard, and when I get involved in things, I never do anything half-arsed.

You understand that taking part in GISHWES is a potentially life changing event, and will probably alter the way you look at and interact with life, other human beings, challenges, and possibly domestic poultry in the future?:
Yes. And I love the prospect. Whatever happens, I WILL be participating in this!

I can play the violin and have nearly bottomless patience.

Are you committed?: Always!

Are you able to cover your sign up fee, which last year was a 20$ donation to benefit Random Acts, Misha's charity: Yes!

If you flake out, you understand you will be subject to heckling, razzing, and possibly a flogging with angel hair spaghetti dipped in boysenberry jam, right? Sure, but I want to make the jam.
