AlpineK Posted September 27, 2007 Posted September 27, 2007 The best parties I've ever been to feature folks doing funny idiotic things. I would hate to take that away from a party by making it a mass public event where people feel uptight. I'll be headed to Rope Up straight outa Spokompton
mattp Posted September 27, 2007 Posted September 27, 2007 Yes, Beck was tarred and feathered by the cc.com mafia. In my opinion Beckfest was pretty cool however (except the raffle went on WAY too long) and I don't recall any of the "organized activities" causing Feck or anybody else to feel they had to restrain theirself. I think the "issues," such as they were, were mostly related to the way in which the whole thing was discussed (or not discussed).
olyclimber Posted September 27, 2007 Author Posted September 27, 2007 Well, my bet is that idiotic things are going to happen regardless, I'll be there to do my part at least. It would be cool for the evening to be relaxing...drink some beer, watch some slides, sit around a campfire. I heard the idea of someone or some people bringing some musical instruments and playing a little around the fire at night....that sounds awesome to me. During the day if people want to organize stuff (showing new climbers the ropes, a conservation/trail project, special olympics, whatever)I think that would be great too. All that stuff is optional, and if you want to just go climbing and enjoy the fine rock up there, then by all means go for it! This is a "For Fun" event, after all.

Maybe Fejas can bring a boom box and play some Counting Crows! ROOOOOUND HEEEERE!
Bug Posted September 27, 2007 Posted September 27, 2007 I know "Dueling Banjos". Maybe I can get my brother/father/sheep to come and we can do a duet.
amber10_79 Posted September 30, 2007 Posted September 30, 2007 I'm still somewhat unfarmiliar with some of the terms, and what some of the equiptment is for....but I'm trying to learn! Will there be anyone who can give me a crash course for that weekend?
Bug Posted September 30, 2007 Posted September 30, 2007 Amber, it has been suggested that you are a male posing as a female looking for assistance in the climbing world in order to lure unsuspecting verile males into making fools of themselves online. I hereby volunteer. Seriously though, regardless of who you are, there will be people at ropeup willing to give you a crash course. Wether on climbing or internet etiquite, you will find what you need. If it is climbing, PM me and I will try to help you feel welcome with pertinent information although most of it is in this thread. I have set aside Sunday to climb with newbies if anyone is interested. Also, there are usually other competent climbers taking newbies out on Saturday. Bring your own shoes and harness. If you do not have your own, you can rent from REI or the Climbing shop in Leavenworth. It is a small shop on the left just beyong the Best Western (which is on the right). Kayaks in front. You can't miss it.
catbirdseat Posted September 30, 2007 Posted September 30, 2007 I know "Dueling Banjos". Maybe I can get my brother/father/sheep to come and we can do a duet. How much will you guys pay me not to bring my trombone?
sobo Posted October 2, 2007 Posted October 2, 2007 I know "Dueling Banjos". Maybe I can get my brother/father/sheep to come and we can do a duet. How much will you guys pay me not to bring my trombone? You can bring it, as long as it's not rusty...

Winter Posted October 2, 2007 Posted October 2, 2007 I know "Dueling Banjos". Maybe I can get my brother/father/sheep to come and we can do a duet. How much will you guys pay me not to bring my trombone? Can you play like this guy?

G-spotter Posted October 2, 2007 Posted October 2, 2007 You should un-ban Trask for a day to celebrate

catbirdseat Posted October 2, 2007 Posted October 2, 2007 You should un-ban Trask for a day to celebrate Trask is a reformed man. He's never coming back.
olyclimber Posted October 4, 2007 Author Posted October 4, 2007 Ropeup is RAPIDLY APPROACHING. Its weekend after this upcoming one, actually. Jon and I are ordering a couple of kegs of beer which I'll bring up and tap Friday evening. 1. Remember to bring some firewood. I'm going to be hanging out at the campground all weekend with my fecking broken leg, so I want fire dammit. 2. Bring up some food, bring some to share on Saturday night if you can. We should try to have a potluck type deal. 3. Bring some slides to show...and post here if you're going to. I still don't know who is showing...I think Tony Bentley has got something to show...anyone else? 5. Bring something to drink beer out of in case i forget to get plastic cups. 2. Someone is bringing tarps and ropes to put them up with? I can bring Archenemy's tarps again, which I still have from last year. 7. Can some people step up and help me out with this stuff? Organize and what am I forgetting? 4. Can someone put up a few signs on the board at the campground entrance? Gropeup 2007 this Way, etc. 12. I'll be paying for the campground fee. what am i forgetting
catbirdseat Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 If I bring fire will you promise to keep the bird away from my liver? My liver is going to be working overtime as it is.
Bug Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 I'm bringing another tarp Friday afternoon. We can use your lead rope since you are just hangin. I have a little firewood. I can bring part of a dead antelope.
