EddieE Posted August 1, 2001 Posted August 1, 2001 Hmmm...that might be a better option. I'm all for having a shindig where The Man won't be around to shut us down. Quote
Beck Posted August 1, 2001 Author Posted August 1, 2001 We chatted it up at the Pub Fest last night, we can get away with partying at Bridge creek- the cost is seventy bucks and they bring in porta potties for your group, accomodate 70 people- I think we're looking at 50-100 people, who can tell for sure- If this is suppossed to be a climbing fest, wouldn,t it be better if we had it in close proximity to bouldering/cragging? Mazamas all great and everything and appreciate the option, the problem with putting this on is going to be a matter of group camping logistics- garbage, toilets, water, suitable already impacted campsites,parking- I don't know any private landowners that want 100 grimy climber types shitting in the bushes!! What's the word, let's come up with a site proper by Monday, let's all scope loc, but the emphasis is climbing and up to 100 people. Quote
hikerwa Posted August 1, 2001 Posted August 1, 2001 Beck, 70 bones is not much considering we get honey buckets! I have been back into the site and it is fairly private and away from most of the other sites...and there is lots of climbing and bouldering within walking distance! Let's get together this weekend and check it out! Quote
Beck Posted August 1, 2001 Author Posted August 1, 2001 yeah, the cost/benefit ratio is priceless when you factor in the honey buckets. |I've had a lot of experience with the logistics of these types of shindigs and have a pretty good feel of what's required, as we get this ball rolling there's some items we'll need to round up, not having to worry about crappers is a big relief LOL.

Beck Posted August 1, 2001 Author Posted August 1, 2001 Hey hiker wa, I sent you an email, did you not get it? Quote
EddieE Posted August 1, 2001 Posted August 1, 2001 50-100 people? Geez, should we get a band? ...just joking! [This message has been edited by EddieE (edited 08-01-2001).] Quote
Beck Posted August 2, 2001 Author Posted August 2, 2001 DJ, band, drum circle, whatever, I',m going to find out just what we CAN get away with at Bridge Creek, these intermediate climbing instructors from Everett use this site for big raucous gatherings, want to find out HOW raucous. I think 50-100 people could show up, posting a thread about interest in CascadeClimbers Fall Mega Fest could gauge interest level. I was picturing putting up a flyer at Feathered Friends, Jim Nelsons, Marmot, It's not too soon to think about the second annual- think sponsors, gear booty, demos, etc for 2002- whoever is into making this thing GO, jump in on this year's organizing, I certainlly feel the NW needs more of these types of events, don't let Boulder and Ouray get all the fun- Quote
AlpineK Posted August 2, 2001 Posted August 2, 2001 Let's not get carried away Beck. I think if a bunch of people show up to the party that will be just fine. Quote
hikerwa Posted August 2, 2001 Posted August 2, 2001 Beck, got your email, I will send you one later tonight. Quote
dr._jay Posted August 2, 2001 Posted August 2, 2001 i'll have to second alpine on that one. its great to be fired up but it would be nice to know that people will show up before planning too much. as you say this aint colorado. [This message has been edited by dr. jay (edited 08-03-2001).] Quote
Dwayner Posted August 2, 2001 Posted August 2, 2001 And I'll contact pope and Donna Top-Step. Perhaps for entertainment they can re-enact scenes from their triumphant "Cirque Expedition", including the famous missed-toilet-bag in the tent episode. How about that, pope? And then you and Donna can bitch at each other about your odd Katie Brown/Lynn Hill/Chris Sharma fascination. (I've heard it 100 times and it might actually be funny if you two weren't so serious about it.) We'll need a stage, some lights and a big screen video monitor for the close-ups. Beck: you're quite the organizer! You other people...listen to Beck, he's on to something! Also, where's the beer next week? Back in Ballard? ahoy, Dwayner Quote
AlpineK Posted August 2, 2001 Posted August 2, 2001 I don't know much about the toilet situation in Mazama, but I do know that Fun Rock is close to big bad downtown Mazama. I can drink a bunch of beer and still sport climb. [This message has been edited by AlpineK (edited 08-01-2001).] Quote
Guest Posted August 2, 2001 Posted August 2, 2001 Gee, now you can all be just like the mountaineers, but without the stigma. Seriously, isn't it starting to shape up to be the same thing? With just a twist of Seattle techno involved? Well done everyone, well done. Party on... Quote
hikerwa Posted August 2, 2001 Posted August 2, 2001 Beck, 70 bones is not much considering we get honey buckets!

Guest Posted August 2, 2001 Posted August 2, 2001 Well it's the truth. This site really has nothing to do with climbing whatsoever. Have fun at your Cascade Garden Party. Send some V1 for me at the gym. Drink some microbrews and tell each other stories. ~SL Quote
EddieE Posted August 2, 2001 Posted August 2, 2001 Yeah, you're right. Climbing has nothing to do with drinking beer, telling stories (true or not) and meeting other climbers. If you think its a bad idea...don't go. [This message has been edited by EddieE (edited 08-02-2001).] Quote
Guest Posted August 2, 2001 Posted August 2, 2001 WOOPIE! Just like an online dating service Eddie. Good for you, now you can have some friends to play with. Send Classic on TR for me would you? Quote
Dru Posted August 2, 2001 Posted August 2, 2001 Yeah... I always like it when people online spend time dissing climbers for spending time online.... and don't seem to realize they are criticizing themselves.... eh Spew_Lard? Quote
Guest Posted August 2, 2001 Posted August 2, 2001 Very insightful words from the prophet of postings. I don't think there are many that post as much and have such little to say as you. Dru, you have a pretty mouth boy. Quote
EddieE Posted August 2, 2001 Posted August 2, 2001 Must be tough working those redpoints with that big chip on your shoulder there, champ. Shit...talk about having nothing insightful to say... Quote
Guest Posted August 2, 2001 Posted August 2, 2001 I don't redpoint dink. That's what you do in your bathroom when you're alone isn't it? Trolling, trolling over this bounty sea.... Quote
lisa Posted August 2, 2001 Posted August 2, 2001 Beck, I would like to help put this thing together. I like the L-worth location, the full moon and climbing close by...weee Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted August 2, 2001 Posted August 2, 2001 Who's gonna supply the hallucinogenics?! Make a full on Woodstock\Burning Man climber's fest Quote
