You know what I like? Dim Sum. I need to go out for Dim Sum soon.

...and people wondered why I changed my screen name.....

Ballard too!

Am I supposed to get upset because you think I'm gay?

Pride parades are gay, gay, GAY! I look forward to the day when people don't have to have parades celebrating things like this because they are accepted into the mainstream society. That said, let's get back to out regularly scheduled programming here....the even that has replaced the former cc.com rope-up.

Hahahaha, and the line starts in Squish there were over 100,000 people "out" on the street for this weekend's Pride Parade in Vancouver. Nice!

Got nuttin' right now. Already read most of what's been posted. I can recommend Jarhead and Reefer Madness thought the latter is not as good as I'd hoped. Jennifer Gummint was a fun read eh? They oughtta make a blockbuster movie out of it.

My chatter is broken too.

No but you refuse to listen to other owners about the maintenance issues with this car, assuming the no listeny thing is not new, so I'm inclined to no listeny to any of your suggestions on vans or otherwise either. Anyway, you so haven't owned a Soob long enough to get the problems associated with the vehicle.

Bah, pally, you called me names in PM. Screw that. I'm going in the woods that weekend. Soft plans got firm as soon as I saw the Festival in full bloom.

I dunno, pal. I've got gear coming out of my ears. Just want to get together with the gang, hopefully do some climbing, have a pint of something, and have a little fun. I guess my needs are such that the lure of free stuff isn't enough to get me to wade through all the BS.

I like Ry's take on this. The real kinda laid-back camping deal with TG beer will hopefully happen elsewhere! That way I can not even be miffed that there's this other event masquerading as such. Who knows how many people will even show up at the "festival" if the organizer keeps slagging everyone who doesn't want a big commercial event. I'm sure there will be plenty of other people there anyway.

Erik, I have to apologize for the Hefeweizen that time. I am allergic to hops and it was the ONLY thing they had that wasn't overly hoppy. Next time you buy the beer, old chappy!

Just don't say anything negative about it, or Beck will send you nasty PMs in which he calls you names.

or BLECH.

That could work for us. Not sure which weekends for the kid yet, but if the weekends work out, expect me and my SO and one great 12 yo female kid. Hope there will be other female kids there about that age. Great idea Dave.

Chatter time, spraybunnies.

My unbiased opinion is that REI Brand is making a few pretty choice pieces these days, and that the SK is one of those pieces.

Yeah, not fond of being called names because I don't want to go to something that used to be a camping trip and is now a FESTIVAL. No, I'm not 12 any more, but I did some pretty good trips that summer!

Oh right, there is the business as to whether or not you are the only person who knows gear, or gets out or whatever, Mr. I spent 100 nights in a sleeping bag. Yeah me too, but then I was ten.

so put me on the short bus. I just got another one, the guy is calling me a bitch because I don't agree with him. whatever. Oh, and enjoy your "festival", as you call it.

Anyone else get a PM from Beck calling me names for ing the plan for the Rope-up, or just me?

Chatter time.

Careful you don't burn yourself with that caustic wit....I'm laughing right alongside you! You are so clever! You mother must be very proud.

Looks icky. I was thinking of trying to attend this year, but my weekends are in too short-a supply for something like this. Hope we go back to the old way next year.
