rlf, thanks,
I left one off the list too, because he wasn't in any of the pictures. That would be the one and only Cosmic, Dwain. Who also helped with the food and bought chips. Thanks, Friend. :D

That helps explain the dude who did the full-on face plant into the sliding glass door during the slide show. Man, I thought there was going to be a party foul on that one.

Dave/Todd: Can you at some point report on everything that's been done to benefit the Gordons as a result of the event, and all the work? Not in detail, but maybe a summary of work that was done on the house, net funds raised after you used my money to buy beer for the roofers, other projects, that kind of stuff? We can then form a circle and have a group hug or pat each other on the back, or something like that.

I would like to give a final few THANKYOUS to all of you cool people that made the TGF Fund and party such a raging success. I had a great time and didn't see anyone who didn't. Even my sister's friend who fell in a cactus.
Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou.

de ee,
What a great friend you are.
I don't remember such a well put together event at the Gordon ranch, ever.
It was a pleasure to attend and see so many good people having a great time.
Todd, You are the wealthiest man I know. You've given so much for so long, it's great to see it come full circle. What a wonderful community.
Thanks for having my family over to enjoy yours. I hope our boys continue to have many future adventures together.
-Wayne

The Todd Fest was a spectacular success! I am rarely so so impressed with my fellow humans, who in this case, happen to be climbers, as I was there. What a wonderful experience. To see so many come together to celebrate the Gordon Family, to Party in the Desert, to give something back to Todd, who has given so much over the years,..Thanks to everyone. Esp DE who bolstered my confidence. I was proud to be a part of it!
TY

Michelle Locatelli also donated a Climber's Guide to Rainbow Canyon; which was immediately purchased for the SteelMonkey collection! Missed that Richard was probably standing right next to her when we were talking. Hi Richard.
There were other contributions that came in late - still much appreciated but some may have been missed on the list from Dave including the latest bouldering guide from RtM.
Also a HUGE box of swag from Steve West which included ClimbX gear for the raffle. Also that rad "RAB" women's jacket for the Silent Auction.
Bill Cramer provided the Prescott Bouldering Guide, AZ plus tons of Topos for Granite Mountain.....
Brass Nuts provided copies of his DVD, "Grey Hairs and Gravity"
I don't recall from whom but several mystery items including but not limited to:
-Pair of old EB's (who provided those) - 8.5 Still available!
-Handwoven Rope Rugs

Thanks for the Wonderfest and kudos to Greg Lee / glee for cleaning the stove! To save clutter on this post, I posted my pics at http://www.fanchon.us/2012-04-21. There is a great shot of the best smile of the party.
PS. Greg Lee provided the EBs and I think also the "Republican chair"

This just in..........
Reverse math tells me that the the our RaffleStaff gals & guys sold nearly 1600 tickets!!!! Yet oddly only 89 people entered into the door prize raffle; I would have figured more. Thank you again BlueWater Ropes for your door prize donation and Congratulations to Swelleymon for winning!
Amazing job everyone, thanks for your donations, hard work, support and attendance!

Yes, the EB's were from Greg Lee and are Locker's size. Greg did a number on that toaster in the kitchen as well!
When I decided to get the ball rolling on this I knew that success was virtually guaranteed just because of who Todd is. The 20-30 years of open door policy, his lifetime of world travel and his personable nature make him arguably the most well known non-famous climber in the world.
