Bump.
I'm hoping that Jeff will let us know once DaftRat's made a real bid. Then we can bid up the price he'll pay.

Of course...if fatrad reeeally wanted to give from the heart....he stomp everyone's bid and then find himself just too busy to schedule that dream trip....and choose some non-politically motivated person to go by proxy(me! me!)....

Happie, you're always welcome to a meal at my place, fundraiser or not, if you get out this way. I dig your internet vibe, as I do a lot of TacoPeople.

Hey Jello,
Guy Kenny here, I worked for you way back in 89 doing SCC. This looks like a cool gig. Got a website yet? Post a link.

Fat, Employer ID is: 71-0975247. Sorry, I was distracted when I posted earlier. I'll go back and fix it now, so no one else gets tripped up!

Jello,
Does it have to be during the ice season? I'm actually way more into rock climbing.

Mack, Ogden is 35 miles north of SLC. You could come in the summer, it you wanted, but if you came in March, you could rock climb as well as work on the bruised-knee ice problem thing.

Hello, Guy, good to hear from you. We are working on a separate website for Ogden Climbing Parks, but for now you can find a page on my site: www.jefflowe.info

March is good although I usually go to the carribean then...but if its like the Riviera, sounds like I would really dig it.
Have you had any bids yet?

Thanks for helping out, Fatty! Openning your pocketbook a little tends to open my mind a little...
...just teasing!
I'll read the damn books just to be better prepared to argue against your stance. It should be fun, but don't bring any big guns like your friend Mack-Hain. I might buckle under the pressure.

No firm bids, yet, Mack, although Wil sounds pretty positive. You could come anytime you like, after 12-01-07.

i don't have anywhere near that kind of money, but i humbly offer my time as a volunteer of some sort - computer work, writing letters, sparky or framing, digging ditches (really good at ditches...), just another live body on the ground...

Damn, I just got home from work and shot you an email but due to the still noncommittal nature of my email, I will have to talk with the wife to top 3G.
Well good on em! And good on you Jello for offering such a package. How about I trade you a 3 bedroom in sunny Aiea for a few cold Utah nights. Four surfboards to choose from, two mtn bikes, including the choice of 3 different single pitch climbing areas!
Aloha,
wil
