OR?

[crackers]

Anybody else going to OR? Wanna get a beer?

[cj001f]

I might be in Portland soon!

[crackers]

Before or after the show?

 

Good things about OR: free coffee and free beer.

Bad things: ...

 

if there is anything cool, i'll take pictures...

[cj001f]

Oh, not going to the show - but can think of a few people who need a tshirt!

[crackers]

for sure! i'm picking up my b/c hummer shirt from a friend at bc.com tommorrow...looking forward to it.

 

in case you don't know, Hummer is sponsoring part of the 'outdoor industry' tradeshow... GoBlog's rant is pretty funny

[cj001f]

yeah, I saw that on thepiton - the hummer fans who showed up were worth a few

[Figger_Eight]

 

Are you going to have your packs there?

[marylou]

Anybody else going to OR? Wanna get a beer?

 

I'll be there.

[cj001f]

The First Time "hummer" and "pulls out" sounded good together

[archenemy]

 

Are you going to have your packs there?

I want one of these!!

[crackers]

I'm not exhibiting, but i am walking the show. I have to meet some folks. of course, i do have packs with me, including a wierd prototype...if you want to see them, just send me a pm or email me.

 

I'll try to grab a shirt for you AE, just so long as you don't go on and on about what a wonderful vacation you're having!

[powderhound]

Is there anywhere I can get one of those shirts, they are pretty sweet.

I found it.

I had a hard time getting to SLC with the security thing messing up Sea-Tac as it did, but finally made it down there.

 

Anyone see anything interesting? I saw Crackers, he and I went to a party and dinner. I saw Murray, but we were running off in different directions. Thinker and I had b'fast and then he took me to the airport today. Thanks, always good to see you, Thinker.

 

Good weekend,wish I'd had more time to look around. The airport thing on Thurday caused me to miss seven meetings that first day, and it was tough to make that up. People missed meetings right and left due to some rearranging of booths, the new immense size of the Salt Palace, and a vexing new booth numbering system.

 

Good: lots of companies getting more green technologies going and the use of recycled materials are way up.

 

Bad: lots of new innovations from the last couple of seasons being rehashed, mostly to unimpressive results.

Hey Crackers, post up some prototype pics so we can drool and comment or poke fun at them. Also did you ever get that upgrade kit together for the worksacks? I really need a webbing hipbelt I can wear my harness with. I made one that worked but I lost part of the buckle on the top of Mt. Stuart.

[cj001f]

Did Suunto have anything new in the offing besides the T3, T4 et al? Maybe battery life more than a few months?

[DirtyHarry]

any super secret trivia about any super secret famous climerers?

[Cobra_Commander]

how many new headlamps were there?

[G-spotter]

Does the MIOX PEN come in ballpoint now?

[Dechristo]

port-a-ledge with wetbar and three taps?

[olyclimber]

Did you see the prototypes for the new Petzl camming devices???

[Cobra_Commander]

I am also eager to see the new Ti spoon designs. I hear they fit in a toblerone box now!!!

[olyclimber]

I hope they improve the anodizing on the newly designed ti sporks, and add my favorite color aqua marine. also, it would help if they drilled out the handle to reduce weight. Hopefully companies have recieved my letters and heeded my advice.

[DirtyHarry]

Is that new ti toothbrush with aircraft grade aluminum bristles out yet?

[G-spotter]

I heard Patagonia has come out with the "Dean Potter hydration system". It's a catheter that connects to a Camelbak!

[olyclimber]

and hopefully the next version of Pacman doesn't have that stupid "refreshment corner" where you can hide from the ghosts
