Welcome Tami- when your name is mentioned, I always see you in that enormous rust/red expedition down parka that was your hallmark way back you were hanging with Peter Croft. Snapshot anybody? As hot as the Valley normally was, I can't recall seeing you apart from said garment. Great days those! I have always enjoyed your artwork and sense of humor. Thanks for putting it out there in the world.
Cheers

Yeah, she's funny. Sort of. Sometimes. At least when she's not talking about my underwear.
Largo says, "Tami Knight RULES the world. Always has." But he was probably talking about the world of climbing, and climbing 'toons. What he doesn't know is that she also rules the world of "Naked Snowstorm Trampolining." Which somehow never made it into a cartoon.

Serious business that. Supposed to be an exhibition sport at the next Winter Olympics and soon to replace curling as a sport of unbridled passion.

Tami sez: That was hallucy-nashins from drinkin' straight from the bottle of cough syrup."
and "Oh,oh....I gotta hide.......here comes the retort."
Ain't no retort possible. The last few hours of that drive were pretty much straight out of Hallucination Central. Do you remember how sick I was the next day? If I hadn't medicated myself with what was left in the bottle (after you got through with it) I probably wouldn't have survived.
And anyway, once you're a decade or so removed from it, what's the difference between what you hallucinated and what you think you really saw? We agree on the fact that lying in the hot tub with the bottle floating between us saved us both from death, right? But the rest of it, well, who knows. What's in my memory is you flying high into the storm, and then the snow on the trampoline flying up when you came back down. Indelibility of image is not related to source. Once sufficient time passes, fever dream vs reality is irrelevant argument.
But one thing for sure is that Steve G is dead wrong about this being an exhibition sport for the Winter Olympics. Unbridled passion on the curling rink is one thing. Naked snowstorm trampolining is quite another. Children and religious people are allowed to watch the Winter Olympics, and there's no way they are capable of dealing with what I saw that night. No way.

ps: when are you gonna come down here? This is a fine town, and you oughta visit.

Yeah. Well, ask her about how we saved our country from Quebec separatism. Her part in it was "Let's give him another twenty feet of slack. Hrkk hrkk. He probably won't hit the cameraman when he falls. Hrkk hrkk hrkk."

It is long past time for the Extreme Olympics, to meet the demands of the bloodthirsty and short attention span audience on cable! Curling would be right out but full conditions naked trampolining has huge potential along with some other sleepers like avalanche polo! Could be a real barn burner....hmmmm.

Well, it's important to be thorough. Which is why the guy painting boats left no stern untoned.

Ed, as a physicist you understand that puns are like stamp collecting, as imitation is the sincerest form of philately.

Tami,
I've still got and guard the T-shirt you printed up for Arcteryx.
It's directed towards the TNF and says, "Never Stop Exploding".
It depicts a poodle being shoved into a microwave by someone who suspiciously looks like a CEO for TNF...........
Hope you are well and drawing better than ever.
We miss you down here in Boulder. Everyone (except Hank Caylor of course) is SO serious!!

I am wondering why no one has posted the Tami cartoon with the "pre written letters to Climbing Mag" yet. It was around the time of the Muir Wall fun and the letter I remember begins "Cosgrove and Smith blow dead goats..."
