A Howl of Greeting:
The rhythm of the seasons is with us and its time for the "Fall Dog Brothers
Gathering of the Pack". On behalf of the Council of Elders of the Dog
Brothers, Dog Brothers Inc. hereby cordially invites all people of good
spirit to its "Dog Brothers Fall Gathering of the Pack" at 11:00 AM on
Sunday, November 18, 2007 and are pleased to announce that thanks to the
graciousness of Original Productions it will be held at the same location as
the June DB Gathering and set up in similar manner (including lights and
cameras):
Original Productions warehouse (a.k.a. the set for Monster Garage)
2435 N. Naomi Street
Burbank. CA 91504-3232
The Magic Words:
The MAGIC WORDS: "No judges, no referees, no trophies. One rule only: Be
friends at the end of the day. This means our goal is that no one spends the
night in the hospital. Our goal is that everyone leaves with the IQ with
which they came. No suing no one for no reason for nothing no how no
way!Real Contact Stickfighting is Dangerous and only you are responsible for
you, so protect yourself at all times. All copyright belongs to Dog Brothers
Inc. CA law applies."
THIS MATTER OF ACCEPTING ALL RISKS APPLIES TO THOSE OF YOU OBSERVING AS
WELL!!!
For example, sticks, and fights for that matter, may go flying into the
crowd. Parents should consider things like this in deciding whether a child
is old enough to bring along and/or deciding on from where to observe the
event. If a stick or a fight comes careening your way know that the fight
has right of way-- it is on you to get out of the way! If you are sitting
in or near the front row, we will not make fun of you if you wear protective
headgear!
As always, NO VIDEO CAMERAS and NO DUAL PURPOSE CAMERAS WILL BE ALLOWED. In
God we trust, everyone else, NO DUAL PURPOSE CAMERAS. If you see someone
cheating, please let us know.
We will continue starting the knife fights with a handshake and the knives
undrawn and analogous ideas. Concerning the knife fighting, there is a
relevant thread at http://dogbrothers.com/phpBB2/index.php?topic=1296.0
"Shocknife" has promised us a couple of its newest model electric knives and
so it looks like we will be able to have electric knife vs. electric knife
fights. Perhaps this will help induce more realistic behavior during the
knife fights!
Again we encourage you to fight knife versus stick-- the stick versus
electric knife is always exciting. Stick vs. knife has been one of perennial
questions of the FMA, so let's continue the research! Also, please feel free
to hide a knife on your person and surprise your opponent with it during the
stickfights. Remember that you may fight with weapons other than a stick if
you can find someone willing to go against you. Please consider staff,
double stick, and anything else. In order to more deeply explore certain
variables, fighters may agree to "no grappling" rules. In staff fights, the
fighters may wear wrestling type ear guards under the fencing masks.
Last time many fighters misssed watching many of the fights as they were
waiting their turn and so we are going to try an innovation from the Swiss
Gathering last month-- the Dance Card. This will allow each fighter to sign
up and see how many fights are ahead of his (her) fight so he watch fights
until it is time for him to gear up and be ready when called.
There is a thread for fighters at
http://dogbrothers.com/phpBB2/index.php?topic=1372.0 and one for more
general Gathering related matters at:
As always, there is no charge for fighters but FIGHTERS MUST PRE-REGISTER,
even if they have fought before. WE WILL BE RUTHLESS ON THIS! The Fighter's
Registration form can be found on the website and MUST be filled out whether
you have fought before or not. For all Fighter Registration matters, please
contact Cindy at info@dogbrothers.com 310-540-6853. You are not registered
until your name appears on the list of registered fighters on the website!!!
The Adventure continues!!!
