Okay, so I opened my mouth about a week before I had planned to and now Lynne and others are asking questions.
I am producing a plethora of slideshows/speaking engagements in the Portland, Oregon area over the next year. The line-up should make for a few wet dreams. As each event gets closer I will start a new thread with all the exact details.
For starters:
Glen Denny - June 18
Yosemite in the Sixties
John Bachar - July 16
Subject/title to be announced
John Long & Dean Fidelman (Largo & Bullwinkle for those who live on another planet) – August 27
Reading and photos from the new Stonemasters book
Royal Robbins – September 24
Subject/title to be announced
That should whet your appetite a bit, eh? I have five more in the funnel and will pre-announce as soon as things firm up.
All shows will be at Portland Community College-Sylvania Campus.
All shows will start SHARP at 7:00 PM (Sorry, I'm British so we insist on 7:00 meaning 7:00)
Tickets will be $12
Net proceeds will go to the Yosemite Climbing Association-cuz I love what Ken does! We will also be (voluntary) collecting canned food for the local food bank.
All shows will have schwagg, raffles of toys for vertical playtime, presenter book/poster signings, T-shirts that only a climber could love and more!
Okay, that's the overview. In about three-four weeks I will post final details for Glen Denny's show and details for other shows will follow regularly.
This theatre holds 300 and I am pretty sure these events will sell out. Keep your eye tuned to SuperTopo to know the lastest.
Any questions... simon(at)vershke(dot)com

Lynne,
I always welcome e-mail! Not sure what I can offer about SoCal as I am in Oregon. But write away!
Sitting in a Durango hotel (the Strater) hot tub at the moment so life could be worse!

Biotch, (too early to figure out all those symbols...)
I hadn't planned on announcing quite yet so I haven't launched the site with info. I am on the road (Monument Valley today!) but when I get back to my Mac I'll get a page or two of info out there.
Hankster, As for a road show... I am running these in Portland, Oregon. There are a couple of presenters who might like a more complete show and I'll speak to them to see if we can make the logistics/financials work. It's a great idea...
EDIT: Tiki-jer, Fresno would make a lot of sense, obviously. Looks like I might need to take this road show idea more seriously! Great, just what I need; more time on the computer planning and less time slackin' off

Anyone who has content that will pull a crowd should contact me and we can discuss. Keep in mind that it looks like November and December shows are close to confirmed.
