Don_Serl Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 So, no official "Festival", but a "Gathering of the Tribes", Saturday nite, Feb 7th, at the Legion on Main Street in Lillooet, starting 7:30 to 8 p.m. There is an Interior darts competition at the Hall earlier on Saturday, so there still may some of those folks around as we get started - more's the merrier, I guess. They play with sharp things too... Please drop a buck or two in the pot on the way in to pay for the hall rental. Beer's available from the bar. It's a "private function", so if some people could bring chips n salsa, nuts, H/C, whatever, we can have snacks - stuff is available from the bar too. We have a slide projector coming with a couple empty carousels, plus a screen, so we can have an "open screen" session once things get rolling. Please keep it down to a dozen or so slides each so nobody gets bored. There'll be about 90 darts competitors in town, so you'd be advised to book a room soon: Mile 0: 1-888-766-4530 4 Pines: 1-800-753-2576 Reynolds Hotel: 1-877-655-5506 Hotel Victoria: 250-256-4112 Jay-Gee: 250-256-7525 All except the latter are conveniently located to eliminate any need for drinkin' 'n drivin' from the Legion. Come equipped with your biggest lies! See you all there! Please pass this info along to anyone who might be likely to come. Cheers, Quote
Fromage Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 And I will bring some tools for people to demo. This year's hot new tool is the Charlet Moser Pulsar. It features a radical reverse-curve pick, a bent shaft at the grip, and removable headweights. This is the tool that will usher in a new generation of WI 3 routes. Take a number and get in line to swing these babies. Quote
ken4ord Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 So who into going up from Seattle? I really would like to hop on Syncro or one of the routes out on that wall. Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted February 5, 2004 Posted February 5, 2004 See you there god damn fuckas! Plan to climb little and drink more. Quote

Bern_in_Lillooet Posted February 9, 2004 Posted February 9, 2004 Thanks to all the folks that came up. Given me the energy to get something together next year..... Anyone ever need to know anything about Lillooet and evirons, feel free to email or call bernard@shama.ca or 250-256-0137 Quote
Dru Posted February 25, 2004 Posted February 25, 2004 seeing as its feb 25th now this probably does not need to be "sticky" now, just a thought Quote
burgersling Posted February 25, 2004 Posted February 25, 2004 Also, the New Rock Climbing Forum isn't new anymore. Quote
fern Posted March 26, 2004 Posted March 26, 2004 I posted scans of Lillooet News article about this shindig. Look in the gallery. Quote
Don_Serl Posted March 26, 2004 Author Posted March 26, 2004 hey, cool. btw, nice photo of brian gourley at M/C - but too distant to show off the fact that he MADE HIS OWN TOOLS! yup, young, poor, metalworker... this is easy! he snagged a cpl quark picks, and built the rest! i climbed with brian this winter, and i've led with his tools, and they're not bad, actually. a touch too long, but he knows that and will build a 2nd, shorter version. also a bit "metallic" or "harsh" feeling upon impact, but they punch and hook and hold like mad, and he did save $600 or whatever... so, if u think we as a tribe get points for "doin' stuff", no matter WHAT gets in our way, brian tops my list for this season, for sure. cheers, Quote
