So Mike from Phoenix calls me to check to see if the event is still on.

I'm slightly perplexed. It never was "on" at least according to my calendar. And well... since I'm the guy with the knives that sorta matters.

Anywho...... due to a variety of reasons I've had to postpone my Yosemite trip. Sucks but it really is for the better....

So there's really no place I'd rather be than Winslow for that weekend. So we'll do one night of sushi, possibly two.

the memorial day sushifest will be held over Christmas.



May 29,30,31

Most likely sushi will be Sunday night.

Aussie was buried out there. I've yet to visit. I've not been back since I spread Ms. Summit's ashes.


John: at best I expect 10 people. I bet I don't need help. Hey... you didn't bring me 50 lbs of sushi rice for nothing! haha

Cost will be $25 or $30 - you can cough up when you get there. It'll depend on the fish I get.

Put me down for "probably." Gotta check what's going on with the gf, but she might want to come too. And I can't climb, one arm in a sling and all, but it would still be a hell of a great time.

I think its safe to say you're invited, but it is in AZ. The Winslow Wall to be exact. Lots of 5.11 - 5.12 sport, trad and mixed climbs in an idyllic setting (deep water soloing is available, too).

We promise to keep all the brown people safe from the man . . .
But better bring youre documentation just in case.

That Limestone canyon would be Chevelon Canyon. 30 routes or so. Unless it's unseasonably cool many of the walls are sunny, so it's probably a bit late in the season unless its a cloudy day. The Dr. will be at the Winslow Wall. Never met a sushi fest I didn't like.

I'll be showing up on Thursday evening 5/27.

I'll have to see about the canoe . . . The weather should be warming up nicely for some deepwater action. I'd really like to get some film of some ballsy deep water solo action.

Who's got a Bosch/Hilti they can bring out? We have a little clean up work to do. I'm going to lower the anchor on Sex Machine.

Plus I got a dozen Mussy Hooks to install - which routes should we put them on? The Winsloner might be a good one.

Has Bro?

Cleon Jones?

What's up with Whitey? Gonna lower the anchor on this one too.

after we add the Mussy hooks we should have some extra chain.

The Doctor is the one that should supply the chain. All his routes have two biners.

Candelstick.... m'eh.

Oh... and the fixed draws on The Short Bus should get removed. The dude that put 'em there ain't never doing/sending that route.

punter or prancer?

Not that it matters we just need to know what to put on your name tag and party hat.

Looks like we might have two canoe's. Not sure of the status of the motor boat. Canoes might be more ideal.

Oh and thanks for the offer regarding the Hilti. I think we only need to drill two holes. I have a bit.

Ducky! Nice!

I don't know of anyone getting out there earlier than Friday night.

I'm thinking I'd like to do sushi both nights. If everyone is up for that it means I can get fish out of Honolulu as well as San Diego.

Yay or Nay? (it means $60 VS $30).

Maybe Knott the climbing community, but hey I'm as happy climbing 5.9's at my weight as I was 20lbs lighter tweaking my tendons flailing on 5.11's.
