Buy Andy Kirkpatrick A Coffee
|
Buy Andy a coffee at his website. I bought him 5. The lad needs supporting. Making a living from writing, even if you are brilliant like Andy, is really difficult these days. |
|
TLDR |
|
I paid $35 for Cold Wars, which he had signed,which was nice, but only worth $10-15. Also, if a climber is asking for drinks, ask for a beer-not a $5 coffee, eh. Make your own coffee. Kudos for having a family without a job, tho. Gotta climb hard to do that |
|
Andy is a great writer and climber, his blog has provided me with hours of entertainment and education. Contribute! |
|
What is it about his writing that you enjoy so much? I don't know the guy and haven't read much but the latest blog post was pretty weak, I thought. Kind of Grey's Anatomy-esque with a lot of dyfunctional, clueless thinking followed by a feel good ending but ultimately lacking any substance. Kind of like just about everything else I read related to climbing or anything really. |

Who? |

^^ |

I'm confused. Are we supposed to support this guy because he likes to climb and write and doesn't want to get a job? |

Great, you like to.... (climb, ski, make "art", beer, coffee, insert trendy bullshit here)- so do I. If you can't make a living off of it without asking me for things, find a real job and make it your hobby. |
|
Asking is fine, it's how freelance creative types make their living. Just provide something compelling enough for me to pay for. |
|
I just noticed House's 'Training for the New Alpinism' is the same price as Andy's anecdotal books |
|
Damn! $11.49 for a Kindle copy? Sold! I was mildly interested after other comments about it, but assumed it was 50-60 dollars. Thanks to your comment and a 4 second amazon search I am now the proud owner of an electronic copy. |
|
I'd buy him 10 coffee's just for the "Patagonian Winter" part of "Psyche". I barely watch climbing videos anymore, but I'll watch that over and over. Fucking Hilarious. Throw him a buck or don't, a guy like that is going to land on his feet. |

Thanks for the plug Mick! |

Even better, support Andy's Kickstarter project: Me, Myself & I - the dark art of big wall soloing |
