Joey, I got an e-mail that stated the following:
I have been told we are showing on Wed Sept 25th at 6:30. But that maybe fluid depending on Ken's schedule.

Bump for Khanom and the Meatfest - wazzup?
Note to Upper Pines Campers: Be sure to look for the obvious A-liner in site #55 for your Facelift Camping registration!

To all sufferers of Facelift Withdrawal.
It's really painful getting from one Facelift to the next. Isn't it? Since 2005 we have had the J T Clean Team that makes it much easier. Something like 20 regulars, joined by other volunteers, come out two to three times each month to pick up litter in JT. We get three to three and a half tons per year,
out of a small village!
Here is one recent outing.
The Team is following the path laid out by Ken.
Looks like a path to the future. Doesn't it?

This year, in the auditorium each evening before the main show, there will be a slide show of activities and people from that day. While you are getting your drinks and socializing you might see yourself and friends picking up trash or working on projects.
I will be taking photographs of as many activities and projects as I can each day. Your photographs will also be welcome, as I know I won't be able to cover all the projects or areas every day. I will be working on photographs and accepting photographs in the registration area before the show each night so that I can hand the files over to the projectionist when the doors to the auditorium open. Stop by to say hi and contribute photos.

No doubt we'll hear soon from Ken about plans for evening events, and special projects - trail and habitat work, and so on. It takes rather a lot of organizing, eh? Anyway, Ken is very good about providing information, once it's available.
A reminder - if you're coming to the FaceLift, and hoping for free camping but haven't arranged anything yet, now is the time to send your request. (If it isn't too late.) Requests to yosemitefaceliftcamping@hotmail.com, and see http://www.yosemiteclimbing.org for more information about camping, and the FaceLift. Be specific as to when you'll arrive, and leave, and where you hope to stay - there's probably less choice now.
If your plans change, before or during the FaceLift, please also notify yosemitefaceliftcamping@hotmail.com, the YCA or someone you know, so arrangements can be adjusted, and perhaps "your" site can be reallocated. Especially Camp 4 - we need to use all the spots we're given.
To judge from previous FaceLifts, there will be entertainment and events at the east auditorium at the Visitor Centre on the Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday evenings. Sunday evening is the wrap up party. Saturday evening is the outdoor concert nearby, ending fairly early - it's also the night of the El Portal autumn party. Having a Yeller Pine potluck on Saturday seems to work quite well. As discussed upthread, it'll take a bit of organizing in terms of food, BBQ, and so on. We've made it work before, so surely we can again. Perhaps six or eight people can commit to a bit of organizing, before and that day?
My preference would be a "by donation to YCA" potluck and BBQ. Entertainment perhaps by jstan - "Further uses for an orange-u-tong". The idea of a swapmeet at the start of the evening also intrigues. Bring any climbing-related stuff and books you no longer need, put your name and a reasonable price on it, proceeds to YCA.
Rumours that the visitor centre clean-up monkeys will be going on strike until they get orange-u-tongs of their own, to show solidarity with their simian brethren, seem improbable. There's an awful lot that goes on to make the FaceLift happen, that isn't particularly visible.

Khanom,
As nita said, just yell out for Ken at the registration tables or politely ask someone where he may be found. He has a cell phone, too. I've used several methods to track him down. Then give him the goodies to donate and he will deal with it most efficiently from there.
Thanks for the planning you've taken upon yourself.
Will you be around the Farm the next few days? Because I am thinking it's time to visit with the Rev and Denny out on Ernst/Manzanita Way. I'd only die for a chance at fresh veggies at a good price, if it's possible. I would like to offer what help that I am able to offer in regards to the Feast, as well. Only got lots of spare time, mainly, and I love veggies. And time is shortening, as they say in the biscotti business.
So you might send me a PM if you have a moment.

Hey climbski2,
Just saw your note today. We must have been neighbors last year since I was on the entry to the loop where Mark Wellman and company where camped (they were on exit). Heck, maybe I even said hello to you without knowing it!
Would be happy to hang out, I will be there the entire week. I'm in site #61.
I enjoyed getting out to places I probably would not have normally ventured as well.
Cheers,
Eric

I kept the music short on Saturday so that energetic folks can attend the Yellow Pines gathering or go to the Oktoberfest in El Portal.
I have added one more presentation on Wednesday the 25th. Chris McNamara will be mixed in somewhere. I will post more details later.
Anyone have any fundraising ideas? Been a little harder this year.
Thanks,
Ken

Since there are generally some heavy-weights there, how about a Celebrity Beta Session and Beverage? It would obviously have to be someone who is there for certain days. Just an idea - there are a lot of people who would love some face time with some of our attendees, It would be dependent on some offers by said attendees, of course. Beta for obscure routes, stories, etc. Just going off the cuff, here...
I am having a hard time letting go of "The Gold Stannard" idea, it would have to be an award for Efforts In Trash Pick-up. The Big Guys do it all the time with "miles matching" friend sponsorship - the per-mile/per-pound is not that much of a stretch...

Erik:
My advice. Let go of it.
Too much variability and it is a form of competition. Trashing is like climbing. It is just fun. Nothing else.
Wednesday in just four hours I got about 700 pounds. Did not even work that hard.
Die of old age before I could get 700 pounds of cigarette butts.
Currently have my eye on eight sofas and eight mattresses. Unbelievably rich territory here.
Gold everywhere you look.
For now anyway.
Won't last long.

Yeah, you are right John - a bit pun-conceived, it is not about competition - maybe get some creative juices flowing to help the cause with the randoms.
