I'll be damned sorry to miss this swell event, but between Prescott two weeks ago, North Carolina last weekend, and 10 days in the Valley come May, I'm all booked on the travel thing. Wishing nothing but the best and a wild good time for Mr. Tarbousier...

Thanks for the heads up Todd!
Shall I request Epperson drop by with his tools, and direct an effort to throw up a quick addition to your house so we can sufficiently display all of these fine items? (Barn raising?)
Heck, the boys will be teenagers before you know it and you'll need the room...

I just finished speaking with Todd Gordon telling him that I have two pair of pristine (read: Never Used) shoes to contribute to the auction, and he said to send them down.
So at the auction, there will be one pair of never used size 41(in caulk on the sole) EB's, and a pair of never used size 41 1/2 Montelliana's (which I'd swear is who made Shoenard's for Chouinard,they look the same but these are in blue leather).
Buy them to try on routes done in them BITD.
Enjoy the gathering, and drive safely.

This event is coming up in a few weeks;...things to think about.
1) Please drive very slowly;...there will be alot of cars in the neighborhood, and there is a 15 MPH speed limit;....we especially need to be very slow this day with the added traffic.
2) Tucker and Eva said you could park at their place too, and snake a ride up to the Gordo Ranch;.....
3) Be creative with your parking, and be aware that drunks could back into your car, so park defensively. Do not park so someone else is blocked in......you may have to park and walk a bit, so bring a flashlite or headlamp......maybe carpool and leave cars elsewhere if possible......
4) Probably best to arrive during daylight hours so you can see what's going on.....sushi, auction stuff, see your friends, met people, etc....and I'm sure your could lend a hand with some prep chores.......come anytime this day;........people will be around all day, I'm sure.....
5) Make sure you climb that day, or you are a pussy.
6) This is a fund raiser, so keep that in mind;.....no whiners please.
7. Best NOT to bring your dog;....
8. Probably not the best party for children either;..mine will be over at in-laws that evening.
9. No underage drinking and NO drunk drivers.......if you are boozed....just tell me, and I'll find a place for you to crash.....Probably the most important one on this list.....
10. If you have something to bring for the auction, bring it, and we will add it to the already awesome list.
11. All are welcome;...even if you don't know Roy or Dean or Chongo or Largo.......time to see old friends and make new friends.
12. This is the desert;....feel free to pee outside, especially after dark......with lots of people in attendence, and only one bathroom, it's probably a good idea.
13. Don't worry, you won't be the oldest one there.
14. Stick around for the awesome Cactus Pricks.....stay up late and have fun.....cut loose, shake your groove thing and shake your money maker.....get down , throw it down, and make sure your are chillaxing.....
15. If you end up throwing up, you won't the first;....ask Kevin Powell (We made him wear a helmet one year), Kurt Smith, and I'm sure a few others.
16. Watch out for cholla cactus and cat claws and other desert nasties when hiking around the desert.
17. Don't be shy........If you take off all your clothes at the party, you will be the third person to do so publically at a party here......(One person was naked at a party here for most of the night on a dare once, and the other was Pat Brennan after he had a run-in with some Wild Turkey....)
18. Most of all , have a great time, enjoy yourself, and enjoy the fabulous climbing community that we are very fortunate to be a part of....
Any questions, comments, suggestions....call me up at (760) 366-9395. It's also easy to get here;.....head up Park Ave from Joshua Tree for a few miles, then go right on Rincon, and left on Star...........last house on Star.....or just follow the dust and cars. See ya then.

Hey Nature-
We are in on the LA fish. You've seen the price list, let me know what you want, how much and how you want me to take care of it to make sure it is up to snuff! I'll front the fish, so no worries there. Fish night is Saturday the 25th, right?
