Kenny G's letter to a potential attendee

Do you have a friend who is a potential attendee to Vanier Cup, but is on the fence? Let Kenny G's eloquent words help you convince them:

As far as Vanier Cup, I certainly understand and can empathize with the pressures and stresses of the daily grind and costs of home ownership, Fatherhood and general life-sucking expenses. I guess that is my point, and the point of the trip really…. As humans we tend to focus on our responsibilities and get mired in the tasks and monotony of “existing”.

Once a year, I try to forget these worries and stresses to join my friends in a cost-effective weekend of camaraderie and fun… I figure that I do it FOR my family. You know, The “all work and no play, make Kent a homicidal maniac” thing… To get away with friends I may only see once every 1 or 2 years allows me to be grounded, happy, and a better husband and Father when I return. Because I know that I am more than just a paycheck, a pack-mule, and underpaid Uber driver…. I am a fun-loving, semi-intelligent middle-aged man who “still has it”… At least with older, overweight Mrs. Garrett look-alikes.

Oh yah…there is a football game and some beers in there too.

If I may quote the philosopher Bryan Adams, I want to “be 18 till I die” …. and in the immortal words of Jonathan Bon Jovi, “I’ll sleep when I am dead”. After all, the roof and the car won’t remember you after you die, but the friends on this trip…old and new, will remember you for who you were and share your legacy… but only if you have one. I am pretty sure $400-$500 for a great weekend away is worth your legacy and you deserve it.
