We are doing very will towards reaching our $10,000 goal;...thanks for all the help. If any of you have anything you would like to donate to the Bridwellfest for sale or auction....please sent to Todd Gordon P.O. 138 Joshua Tree, Ca. 92252 If you are a guidebook author and can donate a few of your masterpieces....please do. If you make anything cool, especially climbing related, and would like to share, and it's something that we could sell or auction off....that would be great. If you have some cool historic or awesome climbing goodies you wish to part with for sale or auction.....we would love it. Anything that doesn't get sold at Bridwellfest, we will sell afterwards on ebay or supertopo.....Lots of people have really stepped up to bat for Jim and his family;.....it's awesome...and I am sure, with the way things are going, that we will reach our goal. Most of all, try to attend;...if you can. I am looking forward to the Bridwellfest and seeing the climbing community join together once again...and to help a friend out who is in need. It's a win, win, win, situation the way I look at it.....and the Bridwellfest will be a gas. I am presently trying very hard to make the guest list include (hopefully) an equal representation of the climbing community.....(meaning more younger people and more females.....not just 50 year old gray-haired yuppie has-beens like myself and my generation..)....help me to really make this event a great event for the climbing world.....and not just a sausage-fest of alcoholic baby-boomers..............thanks, and as April 24th gets closer, make a date to attend, contribute, and party like the rock star that you are.

Todd (and friends), thanks for all the work. I hope to be there, but at the moment it's unsure.
It may help to post a list of things that are being auctioned, before the event, together with the minimum/suggested price. People then know what's available, and how much money to bring. It's also simpler if people collect their wins and pay on the spot, rather than by cheque or IOU.

I've listed the $ and stuff donated so far;....but Jim will have pretty much all his climbing gear for sale;...it's an amazing collection of historic and collectable and well as modern usuable gear, books, boots, clothing, inventions, and wild/wierd stuff;...this is how we will meet our goal....I'll try to post some of it as April 24th gets near...but it's alot of stuff;.....stuff that climbers will really enjoy, appreciate, and get wet over. Jim is pretty reasonable and fair with his prices too;...seems like everyone gets the "bro" deal....for all climbers are his "bros"....so yeah;....anything and everything from a half century of rad cutting edge climbing around the world...it will be quite a sight and a most awesome collection;...all for sale....and all prices negotiable;....just argue, bang it out, and barter with The Bird himself....and I'm sure you can get something cool to remember the day and event by....either something to collect or something to use on your next VI 5.12 R A5+ climb......and after you are done shopping at Bridwellmart.....get a gut full of suds, check out Jim's slideshow or dvd presentation, and then party your ass off to a super awesome band........see some of your old buddies, and meet new ones.....and then go climbing the next day on Sunday...all hung-over and wasted.....it's just slab climbing on low angle dummy domes;...so you will be alright....
Here is some of the stuff that will be for sale at close out prices...(if you want the Ranger;....he's extra.....)..this is just a small pile;....you will see....
(...and Joe;.....I want to see you there;.....and maybe we can't climb like we are 20 years old anymore...but we can still party and throw it down.......let's show these young local-hopefuls that us old folk are still alive, kicking, and getting up in your grill if you don't know how to party....)...

Mike-
If you are going maybe you can hand off the hammer to Nature at the Bridwellfest. He's got to have some cans to flatten somewhere. If not now, he'll shirley have a few when he gets off zod.

Wow, Great Timing.............was just hunting down my old buds from the early to later 60's with Jim highly on my mind. Glad you appraised me of the shin-dig upcoming. Strange happenings, I have him on my mind and seems he's in a bit of a bind these days. How about emailing me the exact address, and general times so I might find a reason to shoot down and say hello. Please don't make me read the whole thread. Pointman07@Aol.Com or Pointman007@Comcast.Com. Gots to love a party : ) Only been, ohhhhhhh, bout 45 years!! LOL!! take it light....Mike Kilmer Great site btw!!
a tidbit for the forum.......if seeing Jim, ask him about memories of practicing our direct aid when in high school, on trees down at the creek bed, running time trials, competing, practicing getting length between pin placements while, collecting dues to come up with gas money to shoot over to Pinnacles or up to Yosemite to jump on the real deal. Good Times!! : )
