Some pictures from the first couple days of Sushifest, before my camera battery died. I rolled in on Wednesday. Nature connected me to Brian, who was on his way down from Phoenix and picked me up from the airport.
Now THAT’s a big hunk of fish!
A five-gallon keg doesn’t last long around here!
Especially when your chef gets thirsty as he slaves for the masses…
So many hungry mouths to feed…
But being top chef sure has it’s perks!
As an aside, Sushifest could have been named “Poochie fest”. At times it seemed as if the dogs outnumbered the people!
Some shots of the mutts around our camp. Aussie, key member of the Bitch Brigade. She took it upon herself to make sure the pups didn’t play too roughly.
Summit – the other member of the Bitch Brigade who kept the other dogs out of the kitchen.
Bosco, the gentlemen. He walked me to my tent one night just to make sure I was okay!
Mystic – one of those dogs who, when standing, looks like a potato with four toothpicks stuck in it.
Shakti, playful and pretty.
And last but not least, Jack, the one-eyed troublemaker.
Who chased and harassed a toothless cowboy the first day we were there, and almost got himself shot! Cowboy Mike came back the next day.
“Next time one of them doges chases me, I’m blowin’ it’s head off!”
He was NOT happy about almost getting bucked off his horse.
But I still managed to get him to smile for my camera!
But back to what we were there for…
Paganmonkeyboy and Nature share some thematically-appropriate sake.
While others had an East meets West sort of night…
Fresh ingredients are vital
As well as having the tools of the trade
The climbers are dangerously hungry!
But there was more than enough food to go around
Sushi is a happy food!
Especially when you top it off with a raw quail egg!
At the end of the night, EVERYBODY had eaten their fill
Even Jack got a piece!
Speaking of dogs, I found THIS guy while I was peeing in the woods
I wonder how he would taste rolled up in seaweed?
Yeck! I focused on happier things…like the lively sushi tent glowing warmly in the distance
Full and relaxed, Paganmonkeyboy and Tony do a little acoustic jamming
Paganmonkeyboy, unplugged.
Tom the cop relaxes with his daughter Mary Jane. (Yes, he really is a cop and yes, his daughter’s name really is Mary Jane.)
Nature and PMG test out the equiptment the next day.
Tony jams along with Shakti in the background
Rich and The Doctor, plotting to take over the world. Or, just discussing where to climb that day.
We decide to go to The Pit.
We’re gonna have ourselves a peachy day!
Rich stretches before belaying me on my only lead for the weekend.
Me and Dave (in the background). Geez – you’d think that people came here to climb or something!
This was my first time on limestone…me likey!
I’m having second thoughts. Damn this is steep!
Fuggit. I’m on toprope.
Notice the sticker on Dave’s butt?
We stopped by the grocery store earlier. It’s from an avocado!
We think that Paganmonkeyboy should have a new name…
Pagan ape man!!!
It was a hot, humid, lazy dog day.
Even the humans were lazy! We didn’t last long at The Pit, thanks to the heat!
The next day, everybody was ready for some poker! Some shots of the card sharks, before my battery ran out…
Some players have good luck charms (Tony and Oliver)
Some hide their “gives”
Some are lucky
Some are crafty
And some are just there to look good! Who’s kitchy jammies are these?
Ape man’s, of course!
That's all I got, bitches. I wanna see more!

Nice pics kuan! Left out my baby, but I know your battery died.
My pics were horrible and I didn't have many.
I vow to climb some/more next time.
Thanks Nature for setting this up and all the hard work!!!
Think I owe you some cleanup/help time next time around!!!

Got back from SushiFest (aka DoggieFest, aka RainyFest) a few hours ago. What a great time! I forgot my camera when we went climbing (twice!), but I got a couple snapshots in the camp:
First, the master - Nature hard at work.
The band
Playful dogs
Brian's daughter sews chalkbags
Camp - the bar on the right, poker table behind it, the sushi kitchen in the middle and the stage off to the left.
And I even was able to really climb for the first time since my knee surgery! Woooo Hoooo!!!

Kuan, I'm so glad you started this thread. I considered posting up on Sunday evening but lost my inspiration. That coupled with NO photos.
What a bunch of sorry suckers we are.....where was our photo crew? Mal.....you ditched us for what again? Some foreign travel?
Susan - no battery for phone
Kuan - only 2 days of battery for phone & no charger
Eric- has camera but doesn't use it
Riley- took photo's but in valley for 3 weeks before we can see
Greg - too few and lousy photos and won't post them
Nature, Mike & Moria, Roxanne & Richard, Rich...... no cameras only appetite.
The party was a goodie! Nature & crew found a fantastic spot close to town yet secluded. The food was delicious & plentiful as expected.
For those of you who haven't attended a Sushi-fest it's a must do. I'm always more than impressed by the event and people who attend. SSF II provided a special treat of 3 to 1 ratio between people & dogs!

Hey Mike. great to meet you and jam with you. SFII was a blast, my wife had my camera in Chicago, Rileys pics should help decipher what went on but he is road tripping for eternity( hope to hook up with him in the meadows in a week or so).
Happy birthday Doug, and as usaul an exceptional feast. Thanks for all of your tireless work.
Jammin with everyone, Pagan, Paul, Doug, Doc, Eric and Mike and everyone else we had on stage ( except that dog that gave his opinion about how " Burning Horse" sounded and sh#t on stage) was a treat and a stroll down memory lane Thank you all.
Hey Doc my lower back is still fantastic, thank you.
Doug please have Eric get a hold of me for employment possibilities, thanks.
SFII Literally Rocked and a heart felt apology to those trying to sleep in the wee hours while the "band" was still Jammin..

OT, but what redirt and Werner said; I grew up in Ill and Cali™ and got tired of drugstore cowboys. But then went to college and beyond, in big wonderful Wyoming (once shoed horses with Todd S's dad (Bob); turned my head all around, I'll tell ya) and realized that guys like the one in that photo are the real thing, ka-boy-wise [how long did that take?] Still, as a non mammal eater, I'd have appreciated that guy's company, but chowed down with Nature, et al.
Happy, still your, birthday, Doug naturito!!
oh yeah, captions would be cool!

Kuan when I saw you snake the cot I was jealous what a great idea I though.
You did not look like you wanted to share
Thanks for starting this thread
Chiloe not the place to be if you do not like dogs.
Steelmnkey the sleep and drive stories were 25 - 30 years ago. I know when to take a nap and Rox drove for two hours for the Old guy to recharge.
Susan I did eat well did I not..
I had my camera stolen a few weeks ago no excuse as I had a work camera in the car.
PS Roxanne will gladly take Nora off your hands if training doesn’t work (fat chance) plus it would be a long line I am sure
Doug great job looking forward to attend #3
It was fun putting faces to the ST names. Glad to have the opportunity to meet such folks. It was good for Rox to see the other side as well. I will try to bring both daughters to #3 .
Be well Rich Sims

I'll be in Flag for a conference next week and wanted some location beta on the sandstone sport climbing I saw in the photos. Looked like a slot canyon that I would bet is somewhere closer to Sedona than Flag. If nobody is willing to give up the location, then I will have to settle for the Forks :).

Wheeee!
Summer SushiFest is officially over. Camp is broke and everyone has departed.
It was a blast and wonderful to meet so many new people.
Tom the Cop and MJ get the award for staying the longest (they rolled in last Tuesday and were the last ones to leave camp).
Thanks all for the Birthday wishes. I actaully got to go out and play yesterday instead of doing water runs, etc.
I guess I've decided the next sushifest will be in/around JTree. Folks lobbied for the East Side and did a good job of making me consider but in the end JTree makes the most sense (to start it's half the drive time for me). When is the question. We talked about the end of October so let's go with that.
Where?
Peace folks - I'll write more later.

I'll start poking around the J-Tree group campsite registration to see if there is anything available. Last time Russ looked a few months ago it was grim.
Perhaps on Friday I'll go scope out the BLM overflow camp spot to see if it's conducive to such an event.

J.W. Happy belated birthday to you and thanks for the birthday wishes.
I'm leaving it to Sooze and Mussy to find a spot. At this point I'm a bit burned out on the whole thing so if they don't locate one I guess we'll wait until next year for another one in (maybe) Utah and one in AZ.
I also now have to decide how much I want to charge for these events. I did some finances and it appears I spent more than was chipped in. Lot's of people expressed a lot of interest in attending. Too many people bailed at the last minute and I ended up paying for it. My question to the group is how much are you willing to pay per night for the whole thing? I can't do it for free any longer - the motivation is gone.
Full disclosure edit: I do have extra supplies to show from all of this. I also have about 15 lbs of sashimi grade fish ($250 worth) sitting in my fridge that will get frozen and grilled one day. It's really a shame about the fish.
Special Thanks Edit: The friction loafers were a pair of shoes that Ken Yager sent me (he sent two). They were too small for me but not too small for Tina so I passed them along to her. They have a C4 resole on them and I think they shrunk enough to fit her properly. Thanks again Ken.

Nature-- I'm trying to remember what you charged for this one ($150?). Whatever it was, I saw the tag and thought, This is too cheap for sushi, thai food, breakfasts, camping....
All the sushifest photos I've seen lead me to think that you go BIG for these events. No doubt the least the Taco crowd can do is compensate you fairly. These events are legendary and will live in peoples' memories for the rest of their lives. What would I be willing to pay for 2-4 days of catered party? $300-500. Work scholarships for those that are dirtbagging?
edit: maybe full payment at the get go if you want a spot held.

I agree you should charge more, Nature. I think it ended up being 20 bucks a day. I've gone out to sushi and paid that much for just APPETIZERS!

I suggest you do only one night of sushi (charge for it of course) and have everyone fend for themselves the rest of the time. The first sushifest had lots of other yummy food (e.g., buffalo burgers and Malcolm's pasta delight) that was shared by all. If done this way, the cost is kept down, we can taste some of the delicious sushi, and you do not have to work all the dang time.
Just a suggestion.

Doug, I think you should haul the adventure trailer to Vedauwoo the third weekend of August. One night of sushi will feed the jones, it's not too late to work out the $details.. The wide does not get climbed solely by ingestion of mammal flesh. In my own case not since '81. There will probably be poker playres (not me) but I will personnally get you on some damn climb that you will remember!

Jaybro I second the motion
And Doug I will supply Generator (no charge) and work on water supply as well. It can work but probably too soon.
As Crimp says one day and we do it on our own. That kills a number of stones/birds.
1. You get to show your stuff to a group that mostly stays up where it cooler.
2. I am sure I heard Kaun say she would ride shotgun with Junior (works for PTR)
3. Your get to sit at the table and play your cards.
4. You get to climb! You get to climb! You get to climb!
5. Its not that far right Piton Ron
6. eeyonkee is giving a clinic of M superior wide crack wizardry
7. Jellow can avoid smoke from fires as far as from campers he is on his own.
8. Your free to climb as you expressed regret last weekend
9. Russ was up for some wide crackery
10 If I forgot to mention climbing up wide ass flesh eating cracks
Come on Folks lets hear it!!!!

Reminds me of the time that guy on The Newlywed Game asked the brides, "IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD what side of your house does the sun rise on?"
He kept on stressing "IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD" and 3 out of the 4 brides got it wrong. He even said, "north, south, east, or west?"

Richard: Thanks for the offer but that's not really what I'm looking for. I have not been doing these things to make a living or anything like that. It's a joy to bring folks together and it's also a lot of work. If J. Werlin's comments are true about these events being legendary, well, that means a lot to me. Kinda means I just can't stop!
I'm just trying to figure out what the happy medium is for these events. How many per year? How much per head? It probably wouldn't be much fun if it was $300 or so for 3-4 days and not many could afford it - we'd have a small group and that's not fun. So there has to be some balance.
Keep in mind that the typical markup for food services is 3x. It probably cost about $15/person in food (breakfast and sushi) per day. That means if I went the full commercial profit route it'd be $45/head. Consider the mass population of dirtbag climbers that would love to be a part of the event but don't have the funds.
The idea of doing it for just one night and letting folks fend for themselves doesn't make ANY sense from my perspective. The majority of the work isn't in the rolling and the feed it's in the pre-event prep and site setup. Once the site is set up the easy (and FUN!) part begins. I was way less stressed doing this thing for a week than I was doing it for two days at snow canyon. The first night of sushi was the worse night for me. I wasn't totally organized. By the time the weekend hit we had a fully functional and organized kitchen. That was cool.
Also, I'm tring to get more out of this than just maybe making a few bucks. I'm teaching myself the ins and outs of commercial food production. IF we hadn't done Mexi one night I wouldn't have a new recipe (carne esada) in my recipe book. If I'm going to do this it's important to me that I serve everyone for the entire event.
There needs to be a minimum number of sushi/person/nights to enable me to bring in the fish I want to bring in. Otherwise we'll be eating shrimp or veggie rolls. For instance, it's a 20lb minimum to get fish in from Honolulu. That fish I'm holding in the first photo is a $280 side of Big Eye. Essentially I need a minimum of 100 people eating to be able to get the supplies I require. It would suck to try and do sushi for 100 people in one night. It'd be 10 times easier to do sushi for 33 spread over 3 days.
I guess in the end I need to do a few things.
#1) no maybe's. Either you are in or you are not. If you are in send me money. IF you are not in than STFU.
#2) change the refund policy.
#3) have a deadline for the event. If we don't have enough people we'll just cancel the event and you'll get a full refund. If you bought a plane ticket than that's your problem.
#4) your name goes on a list once I get the funds.
I hate to be a dick in this way but I really did get hurt the most by the folks that that didn't show or sounded like they'd be there but never appeared.

You know what is really stoopid. Californian's will travel 12 hours to go climbing if it's in their own state. But if the climbing is 8 hours away in ANOTHER state they think it's too far. I say this out of first hand experience (Lived in Cali for 12 years or so).
I say that because you are right! I expect there will be a huge turnout. The real trick is to get serious about finding a location (and not joking about one that doesn't exist yet costs $60/night :-P ).
The next big question: If for some reason mark miller cannot make the journey and we don't have a drum kit where can we/I get one?!?!?! We're putting the band back together.

One night was not for us or so I could get my Dutch ovens cranking. It was trying to accommodate the other aspects of a fest for you.
For my part it was just me never thinking that for you part a big part are you performing on stage. Very well I might add!
As for the changes all understandable and I would look at it like a spec home or concert. The cost goes up the closer to the date not to bank but to cover extra expense and difficulty the last minute planning incurs.
I told Rox next time it’s for a week if I have to go alone. I understand she has school and several bosses. But I don’t sorry..
I think the turn out next time will be better no mater where. How many of us can fathom the investment from you it must take.
I have many artist friends and would never dream of not going to a showing. Basically that’s what it is, an art show for the senses.
Thank you again RCS

Thoughts....
Nature works too hard and misses out on much of the fun the rest of us get to experience. I couldn't agree more that he needs an opportunity to play not just work. I tried to explain this to him at SSF xx:iv but he didn't believe me then. Do you now Doug?
I think he's got the cost thing figured out now after two events. Both events he's had mucho pescado left over. If people can't notify within XX days of the event then they they lose they're deposit or.....tickets can be considered transferrable correct? I can see the ebay listing now.
The band was an absolute blast. Honest to biscuit, I truly enjoyed it! Amazingly good considering no practice and they don't play together.
Ricardo.... if the next fest is in J-Tree we can have Roxanne fly into Phoenix, Onterio or Vegas. I'm confident we can get her a ride if she can't attend for the whole event.
I put a call into the BLM office on Wednesday to inquire about permits and what would be necessary (if anything) to get the Josh area. No call back and I forgot to follow up. I didn't go over to the proposed site today...not sure why it's all of 2 miles from the house. Perhaps tomorrow.
Great event guys!

Sooze: making the whole thing happen *is* FUN for me. I'd love to be able to make sushi for ya'll's AND climb all day with ya'll's. But when I have to give up something it's the climing and it's no big deal. I can climb any time but I can't pull of a huge crux like this any time. It's a huge challenge that makes my heart pump. I just need a better hauling system or something.

"the inquiry still lives, arr!" ditto that!
Me and Julio- down by the school yard maybe but Knott the song.
Radiohead's Creep - Nope
Watch Me Fall (also opiated) - Nadda
Wish You Were Here - good but it wasn't Floyd I'm thinking of
Watching the Detectives - Not Cosello either
I just tried to float though the iTunes play list looking for it. But that's a joke considering there are over 16,000 songs in there. That's like going to the hardware store without the exact (insert item here) too many choices and then you're just toast and walk away with a hotdog instead.
I can say it was a relatively new song (not classic rock) but really good tune. Done with acoustics which makes me think that Mike. was in on it. It's a song that plays on regular pop radio now.

it wasn't comfortably numb. I think sooze and I are thinking of the same song. IT just came out of nowhere. It had a really nice melody. They do a good job with CN but the song in question was rather amazing.
That's a perty new tow there PMB.
You MM - any chance you could take a photo or three of the new drum kit. Hmm... Tony will probably make SFJT so might we have two kits set up?
We did another jam session last night and worked out a few more cool things. The percussion ensemble will rule.

But you have to bring them to the edge of a cliff so that when you push they push back.
(or so I've heard.)

What's the difference between Mick Jagger and a Scottish shepherd?
Mick Jagger says "Hey, you! Get off my cloud!" and a Scottish shepherd say "Hey, McCloud! Get off my ewe!"

How on earth would Kuan know who Mick Jagger is?
Does she volunteer at the old folks home?

PMB,
It's behind your right ear. A chinese symbol, or other symbol of some sort, right?
edit: I posted that before seeing the big picture of you, showing the tat behind your right ear.

no ron, that was in the summer shearing spectacular double issue i believe ;)
and bing ! we have a winner kuan...though its actually the japanese kanji kokoru - heart mind spirit, supposed to keep whispering in my ear to remind me to focus and meditate regularly, stay sane and balanced...a wise man once told me there is no neutral - you are either feeling better or feeling worse but there is no coasting so you have to keep at it...i think he was right...
works about 40% of the time...guh...
i was just joking that no one would see it with that furry pelt to distract the eye.
