Uncofirmed but ready to donate:

Hello bX. Tony made a post about his cherished Darth Vader piggy bank that was stolen from the great party they hosted (and SCAA) in Chicago last weekend. For those of us who were there and I'm sure had our share of booze and fun, I have a request ...

If enough of us can pitch in, I'll organize the purchase and shipping of a new Darth Vader piggy bank, courtesy of the Barista Exchange family.

Try this link: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_butt...

... I think $50 will cover the purchase and shipping and I'll post when we reach it.

Tony, which bank was it?

or


Tony, thanks for the great party. We'll see if we can help! :)

- Matt

Matt,

Any excess money should be turned into coin and pushed into Vaders ass.

for sure Jay. If the handful that said they want to donate send in via paypal, we should be close. I'll cover any paypal or additional shipping, etc.

I put in a few bucks because they hosted an awesome party, and they were cool enough to have that sweet piggy bank to begin with! I hope the D-bag who stole it has their Force affected appropriately, as they are on the path to the Dark Side.

I am so touched by this outpouring of Barista community. This is a beautiful lesson for me. It occurs to me that Darth Vader is not exactly mine, but ours. So, when I get the PB, I plan to take a photo of Darth promoting the dark side within my cafe. I will then send him, with the photo, in a non descript box to a cafe that participates in BX, but has no idea that he is coming. Their job is to do the same. Maybe we'll all wind up with posted darth photos of each other's cafes.

As my friend might say, 'impressive...most impressive...but you are not a Jedi yet!'

Thank you, BXers, for helping me out!

And Matt, it is the tall one
