Beck Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 Hi all, just read in the Times that Marrin Volken's giving a talk tonight at 7pm at the main REI store on "skiing Snoqualamie Pass"- I think he's got a new edition of his Backcountry guidebook out or something. In addition, he might drop some beta on the upcoming Randonee Rally his store's sponsering with Lifelink up at the pass March 31 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodchester Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 I know there are many of you out there that somehow think that giving a talk at a store or a slideshow is selling out to the evil corporate empire of the retail outdoor industry...but I say bullshit. and I am sure you will just jump in and slam martin for doing these things...call him a sell out for writing a book, slam him for guiding, etc. I don't care that Martin is going to be pushing his new book or his guide service. More power to him. Go Martin, Go!!! Don't take me too seriously...I don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodchester Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 Erik: Well, actually I would say my feelings were hurt....but your point is well taken. I seriously debated whether I should respond...but had to take it. I am not seeking to inflame, just point out the similarities...yes, I know there are differences too. Anyway...sorry if I am pissing people off. Just having fun. So Erik my brother, I will take your advice.....and stop kicking the deadhorse. (we need a dead horse icon for these types of occaisions) [ 02-21-2002: Message edited by: Rodchester ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dru Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 we only hack on people at the Spam Face store. REI still has to do something to make us hate them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allthumbs Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 What the hell is wrong with publishing a book, pimping one's self at social gatherings, or any other myriad methods for monetary gain? Aren't we all about making a living? Maybe it's just me, but I find it hard to pursue outdoor sports without a pot to piss in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
specialed Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 Slideshows are awesome. I wish more pro climbers would give them, as long as their name isn't Bobbi Bensman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodchester Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 martha Stewart...now there is one I would pay to see...... being run over by her gardner. (Apparently she is such a bitch and tried to run over her gardner when he did something she didn't like) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chongo Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 How dare you spread rumors about a nice woman like Martha ... Martha and Emeril are close personal friends of mine... Emeril did the cooking at my wedding... I think the reason Martha Stewart and Emeril never post anything on this board is because of libellous, slanderous statements like the one Rodchester just made. Anyways as i was saying to Martha just the other day (in bed) "you know I hate those cc.commers anyways" and she said "Me too because they are so mean." www.marthastewart.com this is my friends website you should check it out.
