I'm in for a Ben Franklin Todd.
I also will bring some CD's ( are they obsolete yet?) to raffle off, and some other goodies we can sell.
Thanks for doing this Todd!
Ernesto.

Wow, its "T the Ho from He"! Looking forward to this gathering and especially looking forward to see you again. It's been a long time, probably Needles in the early 90's. You were always an inspiration to me & many others I knew and respected. I watched you solo Insomnia once and my mind was blown. It was 1985, I had just done a no falls ascent of Astroman and had gone back to Suicide to try and lead the Insomnia crack. I did it clean, but really had to work hard for it. It seemed so out there. Suddenly, these guys come around the corner from the pirate and this one guy shoes up and launches up Insomnia. My friends and I are thinking what the heck is this? Are we going to see somebody die right now?
No the guy just goes up and cruises the thing like its 5.7. Later that day Clark rolls by and I tell him what we saw. He asks for a description and tells me Oh, that's Tom. I couldn't wrap my head around the fact that you could free solo so casually. The few people who soloed at that level included Croft & Bachar, so you were in pretty rarefied company.
You really could get rad things done on the rock. I'm pretty sure straight to hell still has not had a second ascent.I sure hope a bunch of people come out and lend their support to a great guy.

A GIANT thank you and BRAVO to Kurt Smith and the people at Evolv. I recieved 4 HUGE boxes of stuff for the fundraiser from them today. I appreciate this so much and I'm sure so does Tom. It is so cool and inspiring to see individuals and companies step up to help out. I know the climbing community has embraced the Evolve products and it is fantastic to see them giving back and supporting the climbers and climbing community who helped make them the successful and awesome company that they have become. Again;.....big thanks to Kurt Smith and Evolv. You guys RULE!!!!
