Sphinx Posted September 25, 2003 Posted September 25, 2003 I said essentially the same things, and my post was yanked. Sounds like a great party, I'll try to make it. Quote
iain Posted September 25, 2003 Posted September 25, 2003 maybe you could help coordinate the fireworks show and big band at 1100. Quote

My contribution to the event, even though I wasn't able to attend. But forget it now. Quote
iain Posted September 25, 2003 Posted September 25, 2003 do your checks just say TRASK on them? Quote

Sphinx Posted September 25, 2003 Posted September 25, 2003 Shouldn't the title of this thread be "WILL you help Ropeup?" Quote
ryland_moore Posted September 25, 2003 Posted September 25, 2003 Beck, I find it a great disservice to make it appear that you are taking the lead and taking care of everything, yet are realizing that the event you are trying to put on is too big for even you and a few of your friends . So you send HikerWa as the messenger so that you don't get jumped on as he come crawling back to the group that was upset with his efforts to begin with. Oh, now Beck actually wants our help and input! I will not be contributing anything to your party unless you want me to bring a donated keg up there from TG, if he would even be so kind as to donate one after you burned that bridge. I am sure all of the other campers in the Icicle are going to love a DJ and sound system up there during their family campout. Also, it is Octoberfest uo there. They are having it two weekends back to back this year, so be prepared for a lot of folks who are not climbers to be there. My funds will go to AAC and Access Fund but nothing to Beck. May see you guys around on Saturday evening. Beck, go ask the Mountaineers for some help. They are organized and have all the gear in the world! Quote
ryland_moore Posted September 25, 2003 Posted September 25, 2003 can i bring my gun? i hear there might be people with guns there and i want to be protected! Remember the post last week about carrying a gun in WA state? You should be o.k. Erik! Excercise your right! The FS may not agree, but I will bring some skeet and we can shoot over the creek once we have enough beers. Oh wait, I guess it is BYOB now. Quote
iain Posted September 25, 2003 Posted September 25, 2003 heh looks like this thread is getting torn to pieces, as there's only worthless spray in here now! Quote
iain Posted September 25, 2003 Posted September 25, 2003 what is going on here? now the original post is gone, along with over 50% of the responses.... Quote
E-rock Posted September 25, 2003 Posted September 25, 2003 So like I have this big idea.... I'm gonna have a party for all my friends this weekend. Free beer for everyone! And I'm gonna invite tons of Seattle hipster chicks who will actually think all you dudes are cool because you rock climb. And the food will be AMAZING. Here's what I need from you: 1. Someone please donate a keg. 2. Everyone please bring their mom's favorite dish, ask mom to make it, that way we're sure it'll be good. 3. I don't really have many friends (especially cute hipster chicks) so if you work in Seattle as a bartender or a barista, could you please start inviting all the cute girls with tatoos, rolled-up jeans, and short bangs who frequent your establishment. 4. I'm still psuedo-homeless right now so could we have it at your place? Please PM me if you can provide any of these minor (albeit necessary) ingredients to MY party. Otherwise feel free to stop on by whoever's house it turns out to be at because even thought it's MY party it's stillf for dirtbags like you. Quote
hikerwa Posted September 25, 2003 Posted September 25, 2003 In my own opinion, there has been plenty of planning and organization leading up to this event. It still is grass roots, we still need some help with things. The "sponsors" are actually companies that have provided items for the raffle or food and beverages. All of the proceeds from the raffle go to the Access Fund and the AAC. There will be lots of free food and beer, I for one will be bringing some beer also, for me, if there is a shortage, as I assume most of you would also. Unfortunately through the actions and posts of one of the "organizers" and "interested parties", a negative light has been put on the event as a whole, and falsely assumed that it is way more corporate than it actually is. I know that this event will be a good time, I too am not a huge fan of amplified music, or corporate meglomania, and I understand the concerns of the group, maybe this will help for the organization of next year. Hopefully I will see you all there. Sean Quote

You're assuming the political slant of people you don't know, and what do politics have to do with parties in the first place. "plenty of organization"? Yeah. Try 'too much'. Still, what's up with the last minute request for the 'dirtbags' to provide all this shit. If you don't like corporate megalomania, talk to your buddy Beck. Apparently, he does. If you don't like loud music, why the call for DJs and speakers? And I still don't get why a skier and a hiker are hosting a climbers' party. Quote

It's a party. theres free stuff. theres likeminded people. I thought it would still be pretty fun. Quote
incubus Posted September 25, 2003 Posted September 25, 2003 could still be fun, but I doubt it there's a definate black cloud looming suit yerselves Quote
jon Posted September 25, 2003 Posted September 25, 2003 Sorry Sean I've had to be on the defensive a little lately. I'm sure it will be a good time. Quote

I thought it would be pretty fun. that is all that needs to be said or read. think of it just like every other weekend you go climbing/camping at leavenworth tho this time there is an abundance of entertainment. even without free beer, slideshows, djs or whatever lotsa people is always entertaining. enjoy it for what it is.
