Propoganda 4 the ages in Portland, Oregon
NEW WEBSITE
Version 3.0 ONLINE!
Thank you for checking out this page. Remnants of the last version of the website, version 2.0, is still accessible to the public as part of our extended, current website. The programming for the old website was so old…not everything warranted replication to the new website.
The SWIL PROPOGANDA MACHINE has moved on to the new website system, with Archives for 2018 and 2019 still available under the umbrella of the older website.
Items that have moved to new website:
~Friends of SWIL page
~SWIL SHOW calendar page
~BAND MEMBER information pages
~Much, much, more!
Its quite entertaining…actually.
The rest of this webpage is the original content from this link…have a SWIL day………………..
YES - I have all the information needed regarding the raffle debacle, why it is no longer a reality, and other money laundry schemes we have planned for the show on 03MAR18.
Which reminds me - got this…albeit enthusiastic - message about attending the show THIS WEEKEND - she specifically meant the Saturday before SWIL's pending blow-out show, February 24th.
She was so excited and whatnot - and I'm gonna agree it is indeed exciting, however we need to cool ourselves down and realize…
Cool Down - Show's NEXT WEEKEND!
…that is why I created the clear and easy to navigate SWIL Calendar page on this website to prevent this. However to be clear we at SWIL are excited too. Just got off the phone with J-dawg from Goats of Belmont - I really like his approach to show propoganda. Which reminds me - on that phone call he gave me the skinny on why we can not have a raffle…and it makes sense I guess.
Never tiring in his propagation of show propoganda, J-dawg went to O'Malley's last weekend to put up some show flyers and the whole 9 yards. At any rate he was corned by club personnel and all the questions about money, money, and who gets who's money, etc. Long story short - we claimed that we needed to use the money to pay off the raffle prizes obviously.
He smiled patiently and then inquired about the rest of the money - not fully prepared for this inquiry and shooting from the hip truthfully the answer was obvious - split it between the bands and buy alcohol.
AND the very, very good point was made that if we spent the money on alcohol at O'Malley's, then technically we could claim O'Malley's is getting the money…eventually.
Well…long story short this did not go over well. Ultimately it comes down to concerns relevant to claiming it as income with the IRS - indeed - this is not included in the most recent tax cuts overall…
It's all considered phucking theIRS!
Nothing like getting screwed over deeply
I don't know - I don't know. Why be so upset? Really? Right?
We've had other schemes and scams fall through but this was close to really getting implemented - I was already online reviewing different kegs of beer to purchase with the money. Preferably a high-octane IPA to quickly get to cognitive cruising altitude that is the SWIL way of life.
Maybe it's a good thing the more I think about the raffle - I remember what happened last time I went to BINGO, ordered just ONE drink…and woke up in a strange place…
Bingo-lady LUV affair
#SWILtoo - #GOBtoo
Besides - what if you were to win something that you don't even need…
NO, you really SHOULDN'T HAVE!
We are gathering information about having a raffle possibly at a future GOB/SWIL show. We joke about it but there is nothing in the works at this time about a future show - so we shall see.
One thing I am considering is having a raffle item be an AR-15. I crunched the numbers and there is real money potential there. PLEASE NOTE: It is not known at this time if an AR-15 as a raffle item is legal in the States of Washington and Oregon - but I am going to phone the governments and see myself. If the answer is no then NO problem - it is what it is - we will just be that much more ready for our future show in the works in the lovely State of Idaho.
I know a lot of bands are also out there trying to raise beer drinking money like SWIL and GOB. Again, there is much, much more research that I intend to spearhead to resolve the many legalities of this.

Yet more amazing visual propoganda from the master himself Anthony Mills:
Only $5 bucks at the door…a steal
