We are going to try to go all out!!
So I have finished the layout for Pat's memorial book. It's got everyone's memories, comments and photos in there. I have also added a load of quotes, stories and images from the forum that Pat had posted up over the years!
Have a look here:
Memorial Book for SactownConnection
Meanwhile, SLC Head has been in touch with a florist to put together a *dope* shining, lit-up, "P" arrangement to be displayed at the memorial. I'll let him describe it better, but from the sound of things it should be really special.
Thank you to everyone who has donated towards this. Our total budget at the moment is about $600! We are hoping then to get:
- 25-30 copies of Booklet for memorial at Pat's brothers on July 10th and at St Anthony's church on July 12th
- "P" floral tribute for the service
Our current budget is slightly below what we need in total (about $100 short) so if anyone can donate a little extra it would definitely help out - we can do this between us for sure!
If anyone thinks they can make it to the memorial itself, please let us know as there might be something to help collecting/delivering etc! (see SLC's posts on previous page for details)
THANK YOU P ARMY!
R.I.P. Pat!

The P will be framed by a black wooden frame with some sort of foliage as the background(e.g. moss). The P will stand about 28-32" tall and have some sort of flower combination as the structure/filling. We might flip that and have the P be made primarily of moss or the like... whatever the florist feels will have the greatest effect. Here is the cool part, they can get battery-operated lights! It should be a fairly true to form depiction of the Trippin' at the Disco P.
The frame is needed to make it easy for presenting on an easel at the service but will also make it possible to preserve and display if we can design it accordingly with proper flower selection and such.
I will keep you all in the loop once I give the florist the green light. Please feel free to provide your thoughts, thanks again for everyone pitching in. Sac is proud right now...
BTW that Get Hip video is BOSS!

I would love to make a donation to help out, i'm just outta work at the moment though... Last coin went towards the records that Thes was selling to raise money for the suicide prevention foundation. Which just arrived today actually!!
Will be great to see the finished product. I'm sure Pat would be overwhelmed from the support from everyone here.

We are going to have the books delivered directly to Paul's house(Pat's brother) I think, unless the delivery charge is exorbitant. Po has been coordinating with the printers, and I will make the payment for production and delivery.
If we need any help on any of this we will make sure to reach out to you guys! Thanks for the offer man... It's much appreciated!
