Dear Stilters,
Below is an event that Sara's aunt is helping to orgnize. She would very much like some stilters there. Please let me know if you're interested in stilting and also if you could be the coordinator for this (not very much work in this case).

Its for the Los Altos Food & Wine Festival. They're looking for a couple of stilters each day -- will pay $25 plus entry (food & wine).

>As we talked about - 2 or 3 people for several hours at an hourlly rate, glass for wine, beer. The hospitality suite with food would be open to them as well. We would like to split up their time, to stretch it out, if possible. The dates of the festival are July 10 and ll.>


Hi VonStillt Family!
You are definitely on for the Food and Wine Festival, and it would be
nice to meet you. I was wondering if this e-mail address related to a whole
family stilting - which I guess we are as well (my 7 yr old just learned to stilt without holding hands, but my husband doesn't usually stiltwalk). I live in the Temescal Neighborhood in North Oakland, close to Rockridge, and I'm one of three official officers of WWT. There are about 5-10 active ones in our group, and we meet somewhat irregularly (that reminds me that a meeting is due!) Often we hang out after the Piedmont 4th of July parade. For scheduling a get-togeter, please give me a call - I don't check e-mails regularly enough: 510-601-5512.
Thanks for writing.
Andrea

    so i just spoke with robin from the los altos art and wine festival. i did clarify that they want to pay $25 an hour, but i told her our usual rates are $100+ per person. she wanted to know if we would negociate the price. i also mentioned that we have an event that weekend and the scheduling might be too hectic. she was really pushing for some people. so if anyone is still interested let me know. she is also going to get back to me tomorrow about exactly how many people they want and for how many hours and if they want both days.

    now last night i met with kevin, kiran and coleen, and we discussed this whole venue, coming to the conclusion that it wasn't worth our time to do it. now that she has called i'm just putting it out there again. we could possibly negociate a better price an hour if anyone is interested.

        i believe they just want us to walk around. i can confirm. no performing necessary unless ya wanted to.

        do you want to do this and would you be able to commit? i don't want to recommend anyone that isn't going to show up, so i'd need a solid commitment from you. i also could just have you speak with robin, instead of me being the middle man.

        soo whatcha thinkin'?
