mvs Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 That was really fun. I was having nightmares about Forrest_m's long cornice walk on Mt. Hunter. Thanks for putting it together Jon, thanks to all who came! Quote
rr666 Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 Thanks for the setting the show up, thanks for the beer, great slides. Good times were had by all. Now let's get out there and do some climbing! Quote
forrest_m Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 just staggered into work, i'm getting to old to drink that much on a weeknight! good times, thanks to everyone who helped put it on, nice to put some more faces to names. Quote
Rad Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 Special thanks to Jon for all his work and for scoring the beer. Speaking of scoring, Jon did you get the number of that cute girl serving beers? Someone said she looked like Christina Ricci only way hotter... Quote
matt_warfield Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 Well, I'll add my thanks to Jon for organizing this event and coming up with the best beer "special" I've ever seen. That Manny's is one of the best Pale's I've had....and I've had my share. Kudos to all the slide presenters- it was a late night but well worth it! Quote
jon Posted November 5, 2003 Author Posted November 5, 2003 Hey thanks to everyone that came, that was a lot of fun. We'll do it again for sure. Hey big special thanks to Dox, Kurt, Matt, Wotan, and Bill for bringing stuff so we could have the show. Also thanks to everyone who showed slides. Quote
Al_Pine Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 Most excellent bash! Great place too. Agreed about how good that Pale Ale was. Thanks Jon! Quote

AlpineK was trynig the moves on one of the chixors, but she jetted early. There was another chick that looked almost like mandy moore did a few years back. That who you talking about? Quote

Billygoat Posted November 6, 2003 Posted November 6, 2003 Holy Hangovers Batman! What was in that stuff? Thanks Jon for the great evening Thanks also to the presenters There were plenty of beautiful, inspiring pics. It was wonderful to see some faces from Kid's Ropeup and meet a whole bunch more. So many people showed up! What say, 'bout 60 or so? Everything seemed to double after my fifth half liter Thanks to Dox for driving me and my rig to his place so I could crash out. This Site Rocks! Quote
chucK Posted November 6, 2003 Posted November 6, 2003 It seemed almost like all the kids-ropeup posters made it. Did LeeJams show earlier? Dave Bale doesn't count cause he doesn't admit to posting on CC.com. Holy shit about the hangovers too! I guess I wasn't the only one. Maybe it was because of those huge glasses? Quote
slothrop Posted November 6, 2003 Posted November 6, 2003 I, too, didn't reach functional mental awareness until about 1pm today. The dark stuff was too tasty. Thank goodness my girlfriend dragged me home before I could finish my third. Quote
jon Posted November 6, 2003 Author Posted November 6, 2003 I think the Wassail was like 8%!! Hey I also want to thank Fern, Billy, Off, and Bob for driving so far to make it, that was really awesome of you guys. Here are some picts. Quote
Billygoat Posted November 6, 2003 Posted November 6, 2003 That looks like an 8% grin I have going there! I knew I was getting hammered at that point because I started chuggin' h2o. What fun! Quote

Oh well. Good turn-out, lots of plabby, happy folks. Is Forrest feedin brew to that youngster in the photo? Looks like dbb is feedin someone a bit of beta but Erin isn't too sure about what she hears from a distance. Kaia is just proud as peaches; she's got a green stamp. Forrest and Matt, good to hear you guys made it home ok. Good talk. Good times. Keep on truckin. ps. For the 98% of you who have no clue who I am, I showed some slides after Colin when everyone was quite intoxicated. Jon thanks for putting on a great event. It was loads of fun. Quote
Billygoat Posted November 6, 2003 Posted November 6, 2003 Yeah, everything broke down due to serious drunkeness at that point. Thanks for the slides though... Quote
To_The_Top Posted November 6, 2003 Posted November 6, 2003 Yes it was a fun time, and as you can see it was nice meeting CPB Glassgow. Thanks Jon and slide show climbers for such a good party! Had only three beers and.......... Quote

Quote
thelawgoddess Posted November 6, 2003 Posted November 6, 2003 i like strong beer. well, i should say the beers i like are usually strong. (i can't wait to see how drunk one beer's gonna get me in telluride!) the sausagefest was fun. good sausages all around. Quote

jon Posted November 7, 2003 Author Posted November 7, 2003 I walked into Schultzy's today to thank Don and the first thing his wife says to me is "How's your hangover?" Apparently to their amazement we drained both those kegs. Nice work. Quote
klenke Posted November 7, 2003 Posted November 7, 2003 With a beer special like the one you provided, it was a given we'd drain those kegs. Thanks for putting the fest on, Jon. And it was good to finally meet you in person. Quote
