A Swim for Gidram

[Rizz]

If you can't put it on YouTube you can use yousendit.com to send me a link via e-mail so I can download it.

Thanks guys! I'm excited to show this to him!

I got a message on facebook asking for Ocean pictures for Tyler.
Just thought i would post it for people that don't use have facebook.

Eric sent you a message. Subject: bring tyler the ocean! Hey guys it’s Eric. I’m Tyler’s old roommate and, like you, someone who has been impacted by his life. I’m going to visit him again this weekend and this time I want to bring him something big. I want to bring him the ocean. One thing Tyler really wanted to do again was see the ocean one last time. Unfortunately that is now impossible. However, with your help, we can do the next best thing for him. We can bring the ocean to him. I don’t know exactly how much time we have left but I speak for all of us when I say that I’m not going to just sit around and do nothing while I wait for his time to come. Tyler is still here, this is NOT over, and we can still help him. So here is the plan. We need ocean pictures. If you have pictures of yourself by an ocean, yourself and Tyler by an ocean(that’s you, swimmers!) or even just pictures of the ocean, we need them! We are going to take all these pictures and cover his entire room with them. This way Tyler can be at the ocean with all of his friends. Email them to an email account I set up just for this. The address is TylersOcean @ gmail.com. I’d then take all the pictures that come to this address, have them printed and handle the whole thing all at once. This saves people trips and hassles.

Rizz buddy, just checkin the site and saw this post. I just wanted to let you know that your brother and your family are in my prayers. I recently had a family member pass away due to cancer and I know how draining it can be on all family members. If you ever need someone to talk to send me a PM.

I hope Tyler enjoys it.

Thanks to Stonecypher and Sinope for putting the event together and everyone that attended.

[Pizzaguy]

great job on the video Qali.
a big thanks to Stone for putting the event together.

Thanks to everybody that participated, you all make me proud to be PG.


Tyler, my thoughts are with you. Thanks for letting us all be part of your life.

[Rizz]

Epic. Freaking Epic. Great editing, great video. What an awesome gesture, especially since it's been such a long time since either of us was online with PG.

I'm tearing up just watching it. Lots of names I recognize there, this just reinforces what I always knew. PG is and always will be the greatest WoW guild ever. OF ALL TIME!!!

I never thought staying up late on work nights chugging Mt. Dew and trying to help coordinate 40 man raids in BWL would ever lead to this, but I sure am proud of what you guys have done here. This is more special than any boss kill ever could be, and those who knew me know that some of those PG first were pretty important to me. I still remember them with fondness as adrenaline pounding moments in my life.

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

[Qali]

I'm glad you liked it Rizz.

For those that don't want to download the 125Mb video, the quality of the youtube upload got better overnight. I guess they finished "processing" it. Watch it in 720p if you want to be able to read the names.

Here's the link. . .

[Sinope]

Much love to Tyler, you & your family.

[Stonecypher]

I'd like to thank everyone who had a hand in this. It was easy for those of us who knew Gidram to want to do this for him. I was really proud to see so many newer guildies who never knew him to non-the-less show up and lend their support. It reenforces my belief that the PG bond transcends WoW.

Qali, thanks for recording this event and editing it down to a managable size, (Originally it was 45 minutes and 12 GB!!)

[Rajincajin]

Well, tried watching the video, but it kept stopping/pausing. even when i downloaded it rather than going to Youtube.

[Sinope]

Rajin, if you hit play, then pause it for about 10 mins, it'll run without buffering again.

[Rizz]

I was able to download it yesterday and I put it on my brother's netbook so he could watch it. He's too weak to sit at the computer, but he was able to watch the whole video. He isn't talking much either because it makes him nauseous just to speak, but he cracked a smile while he watched.

His words: "Wow, for me? That's cool."

Thanks PG, from the bottom of my heart.

[Pantone]

I'm glad. It's a small thing, but I'm glad we could do something.

Ignacio sends his sympathies and support.

[Craden]

Well done, well done indeed.

There are no words that can express how it feels to lose a loved one or to watch a loved one living the last of their days. Know that our hearts, prayers and thoughts are with you during this time.

[Eagleeye]

Hey Rizz, I would have made an alt and been there myself, but Im just finding out about this myself today. I jus want you to know while its been a long time, my thoughts and prayers are still going out to you and your family.

[Lycain]

Sorry that i missed this event, i dont check my email as often as i used to. Anyways i thought i would stop by and let Gidram and Rizz know that i was thinking of them and to wish them the best in what im sure is a difficult time.

[Zarothustra]

This was very touching to watch. I wish I could have been there.

[Ini]

I wish I could have been there as well. I too know what it's like to lose a family member to cancer.

Lots of love to you and yours Rizz & Gidram and many prayers lifted up for strength & courage.

[Deathgoblin]

Very cool, I love it!

Much love Rizz!

[Bonemama]

I wanted to do this but either got the date wrong or the time wrong...logged on and everyone was in a raid instance >.<

Much love Rizz <3
