I can't believe that it starts next week and none of you hosers have started a thread.

Who is going? I am going to try and make it on Sat. and Sun.

Is it even possible to get a room in town? Probably a dumb question.

We were there last year and had no problem getting a camp site.

I will probably have a wife and an old dog. I don't want to camp.

Edit- I will camp if I have to, That's not really an issue. The F-150 with the shell is just cozy with even the dog.

I'm heading up and as usual camping at Chek fri-sun. Last year was good and I even took a clinic. Hope this year is even better.

Love Squamish.

Never met a Canadian I didn't like, except Scott, he's a dick.

Sounds like fun, but I won't be there.

Lol Wes. Too bad. I'd love to meet ya.

I'm going, buddy! I got tickets for wednesday night and saturday night. I'd love to go see Wayne Merry on Friday too but don't know if i'll be able to make it.

There should be quite a few available rooms Wayno. Bmacd has stayed squamish hotels a bit, maybe shoot him an email for recco's.

Edit: Oh yeah, Tami is presenting on Saturday!!

Hey Wayno,

That's cool. Hope to see you soon!

I went to the show last night, it was really good. Looking forward to the next couple night's presentations.

A short little one

No kidding.

Looks like we'll be heading up. Not sure if we'll take part in the festivities or not, but we'll be available for climbing eating and drinking.

?

Is this what happens to a route developer who's been doing it for too long?

No, it's what happens to a writer who has been overwhelmed by deadlines and responded by opening another bottle and saying "F*#k it. I'm gonna get drunk and hang out on supertoprope where I can be sloppy with my words."

Which is to say, I won't be available for climbing (I'm much too short to be a worthwhile objective), eating (who wants to eat a gnarly old human), or drinking (you gonna open one of my veins?). But I will be in Squ'ish for the weekend, and look forward to seeing some of you. And sharing climbs, food, and drinks.
