  1. Why are you blaming GS for the Ice ring cancellation?

  2. It was a joke because Goldman is getting blamed for everything that happens in BPC these days (some of it rightly so)….

  3. oh ok well why don’t we actually ask them to sponsor it.

    I already asked someone there to but if you have more specific about it, they are might do it for the community.
