hollyclimber Posted August 27, 2001 Share Posted August 27, 2001 Beck! You are the man...I can handle the 2 block walk from my office to that pub! I hope everyone else can handle the adventure into the city... Parking is free on the street starting at 6 pm...so for those of you coming in from outside the downtown area, thats a good time to snag a parking spot. I can offer rides home to people in the W Seattle or Beacon Hill area. I'll have seatbelts for 3 passengers, and a dog crate for Beck! (just kidding) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisa Posted August 27, 2001 Share Posted August 27, 2001 Sounds great! I know a great place in Fairhaven, Bhm. I know julie mentioned a Friday eve would be better for Bhm, of course, that would have to be after the holiday wknd coming up. I think Friday would be better so folks can crash up here if they like, or head on to the hills for some adventure. What do you BC buds think of that?? Is it only you Dru? You must have some friends that would be willing to join you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EddieE Posted August 27, 2001 Share Posted August 27, 2001 Maybe we should all get trashed, go to V-World and do our best to get lambone fired. That way you won't have that excuse any more See ya'll there. I got room for people headed back to Ballard afterwards.

hikerwa Posted August 28, 2001 Share Posted August 28, 2001 If anyone is making it earlier, I will be there around 4:30-5...and I hate to drink alone, although I'll work through my fears and do it if I have to. sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hikerwa Posted August 29, 2001 Share Posted August 29, 2001 Good idea Beck! I'll meet you at your shop, I need to look at your camera gear anyway.... (maybe they'll fill me a nalgene bottle for a couple bucks...) sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelle Posted August 29, 2001 Share Posted August 29, 2001 Happy to report that we had another great gathering of the pub club last night. We initiated another couple of new faces. Mark Young and Dave Parker, glad you could make it. Tall tales were told and many brews were savored... Hey Sean, for those of us that can't make the Bellingham bash next Friday are you willing to host a gathering at the Alki pub you mentioned? I recall something about $2.50 pints of microbrew on Tuesday nights... Let us know. Michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwayner Posted August 29, 2001 Share Posted August 29, 2001 Cascade Climbers Pub Club...a name that is quickly becoming the alpine equivalent of the Emmy's or Oscar's. For those who weren't there, it was another star-studded evening of climbing celebrities, this time meeting at the exclusive Pike Place Bar and Grill in Seattle. Once again, the congenial "Beck" was the unofficial host, this time decked out in full country attire including a designer Southwestern chapeau, a stylish yellow kerchief, and all the appropriate Western accessories. The rumor was that he was a VIP guest at a special concert at the nearby Showbox theatre. When his glamorous date arrived, we knew that Monsieur Beck was not pulling our Big Wall legs! It would require pages upon pages to describe all of the beta swapping, lifestyle accusations and witty retorts from this fine evening of elegance, glamour and frivolity. Apart from some of the usual faces, Mr. David Parker joined us as did the one known as "Hikewa". There was also a very fleeting view of "Holly Climber" who bolted for the door at the mere sight of Dwayner. Everyone had their own highlights. I especially enjoyed Fast Eddie E.'s striking orange organic cotton Patagonia shirt. Later I was mystified when a rather large anonymous woman walked up to Beck and sucker-punched him. (The fallout from an exotic and intense affair played out years ago in Paris?...or was it Venice? Ahhh. So many women to remember!!!!) Before I left, Ehmmic was so impressed, or should I say spellbound, by the story of how my computer hard-drive crashed that she asked for my autograph. "Best wishes, Dwayner", I wrote with her expensive but worthless pen, and I meant it. As I crawled out of bed this morning, heading for the refrigerator (still crawling) for my favorite breakfast beverage (a quart of Mickey's with a straw), I had to ask myself...was it all a dream? OR JUST ANOTHER STAR-STUDDED PUB NIGHT AT CASCADE CLIMBERS.COM? I hope to have that question solved by dinner as I leaf through my pockets to find any stray receipts that might reveal the truth. - faithfully reported by Dwayner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beck Posted August 29, 2001 Author Share Posted August 29, 2001 ... Well, dwayner, at least your were able to stomach a beer this morning! I woke up with a prehangover drunk and found my date had left and I was stuck with Teddy Ruxpin! Then I spent part of my bike commute this morning dry heaving into some bushes in a vain attempt to shake off last night's TRULY ENJOYABLE Pub Club. I'm glad to see such stellar examples of vertically challenged types showing up. You go, Holly Climber! Rightous trip report, Ehmmic! All you guys cluster around,EddieE and MattP, i could see the wheels burning skid marks on the existential fabric of life, keep living large!Dwayner, we've got to stop meeting like this! just kidding! And to all the rest of you, grand to spend an evening in such fine company. As for my little run in with the tatooed medusa I thought was my friend, she obviously has some issues to go bitch slapping me like that- only in the bedroom, please! Once again , thanks to all, it wouldn't be as much fun without you! [This message has been edited by Beck (edited 08-29-2001).] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwayner Posted August 30, 2001 Share Posted August 30, 2001 I think I recognized that woman who bitch-slapped Beck at the Tuesday Pub-Night. IT WAS STIFFLER'S MOTHER!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beck Posted August 30, 2001 Author Share Posted August 30, 2001 That bitch was STIFFLER"S MOTHER? Man, good thing Teddy Ruxpin wasn't around or she would have had an amorous ursine suitor on her tail all night long! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
