After Licky alters, will he publish in, uh, hardback?

I do remember him. As I recall, he is the one who contacted me. Ironically, he has the same name as the founder of the Grateful Dead's sound company Ultrasound. The man is a friend of mine, Howard Parker of Sheep Ranch Ca Calavarass county.

anybody hear this?
http://thedollop.libsyn.com/236-dope-lake
This podcast did a great job of telling a story about the crash I thought was a bit of fresh air.
In the final moments of the podcast they discuss what happened with some of the folks involved, and they mention how it could be that people who benefited greatly (even slight benefits fostered some true ingenuity in certain beneficiaries of the crashes payload) in turn grew to be famous, in at least one sense, and real business that stemmed from the crash.

You ARE confused now Timidity. I had a NF Ibex I bought, with cash, way before the crash. Early seventies I used a blue Ibex until the cross-stitch baffle broke. I returned it to NF in Berkeley. The dude working that weekday was cool. He was a big shot filling in for an underling and comped me a new Ibex because mine was so dirty. Dirty because I used it so long. Used it so long because I didn't steal your buddy's bag. Didn't know him never heard of him til now. Definitely didn't camp or climb with him. Anyway, maybe somebody else remembers the NF guy, he was missing a thumb. Told me he did a lot of Alpine climbing and had a hard time pulling ropes (that would be on account of the thumb, morons). Couldn't grip right. That conversation always stuck in my mind. Mine still works. Yours is suspect, and your little friend's too. Anyway I had to settle fora burgundy color to make the trade, and missed the cool blue of the old one but hey, it was free and a top-line bag to boot. Oh did I steal his boots too? Maybe you sleep around in other dudes stinkbags but I have never in my life borrowed or stole somebody else's nasty-ass sleeping bag YOU PHUCKING MORON! How damn stupid are you buttwipe? I had bucks back then. Curry Housing with sheets and blankets. Showers daily. Good life. Point your wagging finger of shame elsewhere or stick it up your butt. Let me hear it from your imaginary friend. Maybe he'll help you, sticking your finger up your butt.

Wait a minute. I just reread that sh#t you wrote. "Danny" had "good adventures" climbing with ME? Danny WHO? What routes did we do and when? Who led what pitches? He's a liar or deluded like you. I don't know who he is. Where was he from? Where did he know me from? I didn't climb with a lot of good climbers because I liked leading all the pitches. Who was this dweeb, one of my belay slaves? I don't think so. How was it that I stole his bag and he didn't notice? Did I slip it in my pocket unnoticed? Wouldn't fit. Whos bag did he sleep in after that?
Why didn't he confront me then? He waits 40 years to whine about it? Did we climb again after the alleged theft? If your friends homeless and needs a bag why don't you buy him one?

Besides, I hate those tapered leg liteweight sissybags you pussies all used then to save a couple of ounces. With all the hardware and ropes I was packing around it wasn't packing lite, idiot. A man needs room to move around in his sleep. Sometimes I had a lil gal to fit in there. Now that was the first clue that y'all are lying. How in the phuck could I ever fit in that little fartsack you call a Chrysalis? No, I slept in NF gear,but a manly Ibex, not a gayly "Chrysalis" - WTF does that mean anyway? TimidTopRope you are a moron and a liar, but with Danny you gays are in good company.

Yeah that guy was way cool. I always looked up to Glacier climbers, literally and figuratively. They were tougher than we were that's for sure. The Valley was nothing compared to frozen crevasses and stuff like that. I loved going to Berkeley back then, they had that NF outlet store and Sierra Designs and REI. But your buddy was cool thanks to him again!

NEWS FLASH: Press Release
Literary icon and mountaineering legend Jon Krakauer, after laboring for nearly 4 1/2 weeks exhaustively researching every possible lead, is rumored to be on the verge of releasing his latest revelatory tome which promises to tell every aspect of the notorious drug plane crash in Yosemite Valley, in 1977. "Into and Out of Thin Ice" will hit the stands in conjunction with the fortieth anniversary of the crash, along with the announcement of the blockbuster tie-in film to feature James Brolin as the doomed pilot of the craft. Dwayne Johnson will play a prominent role as John Largo Long.
"It's a mystery to me why no one else has explored the rich and deep story surrounding the dark and secretive drug smuggling culture, the crash, the lives of all involved before and after, the rumors of fortunes made and lost," Krakauer is supposed to have said to anyone who'd listen. "This was a tale begging to be told, and the earnings from the film tie-in should be like ten thousand times what the poor smugglers stood to make. Of course the book will be delving far more deeply into such arcane areas like the metallurgy of the oil pump, whether the sunglasses may have been counterfeit, thus contributing to the crash itself. Many will say it is a waste of time, so long after the fact, but I say no, 1,473 pages is not one too many, in service of perhaps the greatest marginally mountaineering related mystery (with remotely tangential possible hints of murders and stuff) ever to be pandered to the non-climbing populace."
- at long last Sidmo can sleep well tonight.
