The Mrs. and I are getting in Saturday morning and hoping to get some climbing in before the shindig. Any climbers planning on meeting anywhere in the park to climb Saturday morning/day?

Think we'll hit a spot with TRs next to road to get a bunch in before the afternoon party. Lizard's Hangout or something like that.
What were you thinking?

Didn't have anything particular in mind Roots, just seeing what others are doing, perhaps meet and climb with some of the ST crew if possible. My lady can't really lead belay yet, so looking for some easy top rope setups for now. Thanks for the heads up.

Roots and dirt claud, keep us posted it would be fun to cruise by and maybe even tie on for one climb before "work". Cheers, Lynne

Ok, we are getting close to the event.
A few points:
This is a MEMORIAL and a party. The MEMORIAL portion will be taking place in the late afternoon/early evening, approximately from 3pm to 7pm. This is the catered part of the evening, and is geared more around friends, family, and people on the RSVP list.
The food and drink was ordered a while ago and was for a fairly firm number of people, thus the RSVP list. With the ever swelling guest list and random "I'll be there" guys, those resources are going to be stretched thin. So, if you are not real big on the memorial part, did not know Blitzo, or just want to party, please show up around 7pm. It might also be a good idea to bring some communal beer to share.
If you are looking for something to bring to help out, bring dessert type things, finger foods, bags of chips, more beer, and then more beer. There will be a few giant ice chests where you can drop off the beers for everyone to enjoy. Everyone, and especially Blitzo, liked good beer. Share your favorite.
This weekend is also the FREE get into the National Park weekend. Campgrounds will be very busy. Know where you are going to bivy or at least have some sort of plan. Camping at Todds is a long tradition, but ideally you will have other arrangements.
This event is taking place in a neighborhood. Be neighborly. Be courteous. Don't get your car stuck in some dudes cactus garden at 2am. Be low key.
If you don't know how to get to Todds, email someone for directions.
Continue to watch this thread for updates.

Thanks Russ, Susan, Todd and everyone else involved for pulling this all together. Mo and I will be showing up to help on Saturday. I will be happy to bring some non-alcs for those who like beer (in the spirit of Blitzo) but don't want the buzz, and some dessert to share. Looks like there will be need of extra with that list as big as it is!

What were Blitzo's favorite deserts? If I can find one not too complex I'll be baking tomorrow.
H and Mo, When I was in Calistoga I discovered a nice red wind called Tractor Shed Red. You can buy it in the Calistoga Grocery Store. If either of you are able, can you get 4-6 bottles for me and the event. If not that's OK too. Pay you when I see ya Sat.
Looking forward to remembering a talented, fun person. Lynne

I saw him purchase and then eat quite a few pies... apple, berry, whatever. The man liked pie.

Memorial festivities start at 3pm with mingling, food and beer. An ongoing slideshow will be playing using photos submitted by friends and family throughout the evening.
6pm is the Memorial Service, if you'd like to speak to the group by telling stories of fun, adventure or paying your respects we will have an open mic available. Please be prompt and respectful of those speaking during the service as I suspect it will be crowded and possibly difficult to hear. Thanks guys, see you Saturday.
