Gary_Yngve Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 Outside Magazine is having an event with Buick on Thursday. There's a reception/award ceremony for winners of the write-an-essay-on-your-dream-adventure-and-get-paid-to-go-if-you-win contest. They want a full house of cool people at the event (the person from Outside in charge of this was at Timmy O'Neill's show). Thurs Jan 15, 6:00 PM The Rainier Club (820 Fourth Ave) Here's the deal: + The event is free. + Free hors d'oeuvres and cocktails + They'll give you a one-year subscription to Outside if you want it. - They probably won't like it if you show up without RSVPing with anyone first. - You must be 21+. - Requested attire is collared shirt and slacks for men, and something equivalent for women. +++ THEY WILL GIVE $20 TO THE UW CLIMBING CLUB FOR EACH PERSON WHO RSVPS WITH ME AND THEN ATTENDS THE EVENT!!! So, email (climb@u.washington.edu) or PM me if you can come! (and let me know how many friends, SOs, relatives, nonmilitary combatants, etc., you'll be bringing)
Dru Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 Outside Magazine is having an event with Buick Outside Mag is trying to bribe you to buy a new SUV
HRoark Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 Outside bankrolled Krakauer on his '96 Everest bid/abortion...fuck 'em.
lummox Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 that mag is way too edgy and shit for my mainstream whitebread republican-voting fat ass. tho i preciate the support of american auto makers.
slothrop Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 Yeah, don't let them pay you for eating free food and having free drinks. Beer goggles or not, a Buick SUV will never ever be a good idea.
chucK Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 This smells like something organized by Beck. I think we should ridicule it and him.
lummox Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 must be the buick 'rainier' that is being pimped. f-in wanna be hummer imo. not enough bling for the ghetto yet not enough clearance for the rednecks. who is this thing made for? canadians?
Dru Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 If it was targetted at Canadians they would have called it, not the Rainier, but the Robson or something. The best promo would be to get Chad Kellogg and Dan - to go head to head drag racing in one to set the "Rainier speed record".
Billygoat Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 There's no such thing as a free lunch If it is drinks too, then you are getting or giving
chucK Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 I wonder how long with would take Dan - to get from Edelweiss Chair to Tuscohatchie Lake? Dan Howitowski?
Gary_Yngve Posted January 12, 2004 Author Posted January 12, 2004 Wow, things are quickly turning to spray! Must get back on course! One of the winners is a 74-year-old dude who will be climbing Denali. Don't remember what the others were.
Billygoat Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 Sorry to poo on your thread Gary Money for the climbing club is a cool thing
Dru Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 Money for climbing club is cool. Outside Magazine and Buick = not cool. Nothing to do with "Gary's thread". If you said that, just a random example, you were having a meet & greet with Dan - and Marlboro, and for everyone who showed up the club would be given $10 - what kind of replies would you expect?

Do we get free smokes and free shots at Dan? Like in a dunk tank or something?
Gary_Yngve Posted January 12, 2004 Author Posted January 12, 2004 Sorry to poo on your thread Gary Money for the climbing club is a cool thing Pooing on my thread is fine, because after enough pooing, Catbirdseat will eventually say something stupid, which will be followed by hordes pooing on him... then a moderator will step in, and all pooing will gone. pooF!
Gary_Yngve Posted January 12, 2004 Author Posted January 12, 2004 wasn't the "RSVP by" date the 7th or 9th? Yeah, the official date was a week ago, but I was contacted after then to get more people.
Thinker Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 Cool...I'd go with you if I didn't have Salsa dance lessons on Thursday eves.
Gary_Yngve Posted January 12, 2004 Author Posted January 12, 2004 I'm coming. I'll wear my tux. Do you always wear your tux when you come?
Gary_Yngve Posted January 12, 2004 Author Posted January 12, 2004 not me... poor college students can't afford frequent dry-cleaning bills. (and now marylou steps in and reminds me to get a job )
