Anders has been doing a great job in helping Ken organize this years event:
http://www.supertopo.com/climbing/thread.html?topic_id=412653&tn=0
On top of all that it would appear we are very likely to have Sushi available on the 25th of september. If anyone is interested I need to hear from you sooner than later.
Shoot me an email at nature _at_ sushibynature (dot) com if you are interested.
If the group wants to just do the minimum ingredients thing (shrimp/eel) we can go $20-$25/head. For $30/head I'd be able to bring in some fresh Yellowtail or perhaps Big Eye or hamachi.
I figure I need a minimum to make this all happen. Right now I have about 9 confirmed. A second sushi chef has stepped up to the bar so the cap to this will float at around 35-40 people.

Once I have the required amount of people (20) I'll leave it up to the list to decide. About 10 folks have responded and just about every last one of them has requested that I go big (eye).
I certainaly will offer a refund (I did with the last two SushiFests). But at this rate it really does seem like it will happen. As the event is two months away I wasn't going to start requesting funds until a month or so out (or after I get the 20 required). You can also get a refund if you pull out but you need to tell me within 10 days of the event.

Sorry about the day. Tuesday was the only day that I could get the whole campground(definitely a bonus) and is the only evening that I hadn't already made plans. Wednesday night Tom Frost will be showing Sentinel, The West Face. Thursday I will be showing King Lines starring Chris Sharma as part of the Reel Rock Film Tour. Friday night Tim O'Neil will be doing a presentation. Saturday night Tommy Caldwell will be doing a slide show and then I am off to El Portal for the last half of the Oktoberfest. Sunday night is free food, free beer and wine, raffle, and live music. Monday I am resting after cleaning the East Auditorium.

Brutus... that would be sweet if you can make it. That'd make three rollers. Either we won't have much to do or once the rest of the crew catches wind of our raw fish (that didn't sound right) we'll have a good fest going.

Well, credit where credit is due. The idea for the Facelift is that of Ken and the Yosemite Climbing Association, and over the last few years he and they have built it into the largest such event in the U.S. Ken puts in a tremendous amount of work organizing and running the Facelift ("Monday morning - clean up the west auditorium" - maybe some of us can help?), not to mention working on the proposed Yosemite climbing museum, archives, and on and on. I'm just an assistant deputy thingy.
The Facelift not only does good for the Park, it builds relationships between climbers and the National Park Service, Delaware North, and other players. We earn enormous good will through the Facelift.
I actually haven't done very much to help, apart from thinking and planning, swapping e-mail with Ken, and a few posts on SuperTopo. I was at the Facelift last September, though only for a day, and had lots of fun. It occurred to me on the way home that climbers, and SuperTopians, could be more involved in the whole thing, and have a lot of fun by doing so. Sushifest XX:IV convinced me that there'd be support. So I thought I'd see what I could organize. (I do a bit of such stuff up here in the great white north.)
The effort involved in a Facelift sushifest will be enormous, but add a lot to the event. Thanks to nature for taking that on!
I do have a personal conundrum to do with the Facelift - I live about 2,000 km away. That makes on the spot organizing a little challenging, though I plan to arrive a few days early. It also makes me an enviro-vandal, burning all that gas. It would probably be better for the environment if I just stayed home, and made a donation to the YCA. Especially knowing that someone travelled to Facelift last year by public transit - from Santa Barbara! Suggestions welcome on this - should I get some carbon credits, or plant a tree, or pick up hitchhikers, or?

Hey Crowley, I consider that a challenge.
There are, in fact, Tofu rolls, vegetarian rolls, carnivore rolls, and mineral rolls in my repertoir. (although the last may be more crunchy than most folks, Rockbiters excepted, could stomach,)
Seriously...
smoked Rainbow Trout and Watercress is pretty harmless.

Good Grief! They look like such a happy couple. That's high quality work yet again Mr. Ouch!
The Sierra roll that brutus makes is really rather fantastic.
A.C. - Other than the nori (seaweed) there really are no ingredients in sushi I can't imagine you (or anyone else) liking. The sushi rice is really rather delicious by itself. IF you have never had wasabi just give it a little try by itself and if you don't like it we won't put in in the roll (folks can add it later - or, in the case of crimpie, she puts her rolls on top of a hugigantic blob of the stuff). Soy sauce, veggies, tofu, you name it.
I have two special rolls: Veganaturoll and Naturoll. Both use tempura asparagus. The Vegan one uses Tempura Tofu and the non-vegan uses tempura shrimp.
My mom had never tried raw fish. She tried raw tuna last year and liked it. She doesn't go out of her way to eat it. It doesn't have a fishy taste or smell at all. It's smooth as butter. IF you can get over the fact that it isn't cooked you'll quickly learn to love it (and not being cooked is not a problem - USDA health code states only certain fish can be served raw and without being treated for parasites. Tuna meat doesn't have harmful parasites and is one of the few fishes that qualify).
And as far as the effort goes this event will be pretty darn easy for me. I had a lot to organize for the SushiFests but for this I'm simply looking at one night of sushi (for sushifest I do breakfast and dinner on multiple nights). Estimating and ordering supplies is pretty easy for me.

I really like warm and crunchy in sushi (not all the time but it's a nice change of pace from cold buttery fish).

Thanks for the bump. I'm sure a few more will be needed.
I just looked at the list again. I currenly have a solid, confirmed (though sans cash which really confirms - not that I've asked for cash tho..) and I have another 11 on the maybe list. That will easily put us over the top.
On the maybe list is Brutus and Nurse Ratchet. If they make it that means we have three chefs. And that would mean we can handle quite a few more.
This is good news - almost good enough to declare the sushi thing ON!

Nature,
I am sure it will all work out. I always wonder if the Facelift will work out every year and it and somehow it always does. If you want, send me a list of your "for sures" and "maybes" and I will recruit around here to make it happen. I think the "for sures" will increase dramatically in a few weeks. Thanks for your effort.

It would apprear the Sushi will happen as the count has now hit 17.
Most folks have expressed the interest of having the good stuff brought in so I'm running with a total of $30 each. That means I'll bring in Fresh Big Eye (or Yellowfin), some fresh Yellowtail, and a bit of Uni.
I'm going to give a bit of thought as to when I want to start collecting and what the refund policy will be. If for some reason I have to cancel on my end the refund policy will be 100%.
Any word on that vacation time Brutus?
The max for this can be pretty high especially if Brutus makes it. Currently we have two chefs - Brutus would make three. I'd say 40-50 max is a good number.

Just a reminder to everyone:
1. Please come to some or all of the Facelift, help out, and have fun. September 26th - 30th.
2. Please let Ken know if you need free camping, anytime from the 25th (Tuesday) onward. I believe Facelifters also get free admission to the Park.
3. The plan is for SuperTopians to camp together at Yellow Pines on the evening of the 25th (Tuesday), and have sushi, courtesy of Doug. Please let Doug know if you are interested - as noted, it will be $30 per person, in advance. Plan B - BBQ.
4. We may not all get to camp together as one group from the 26th - 30th. Some may be in Yellow Pines, some in Camp 4, maybe elsewhere. But we can still do Facelift things as a group or groups.
5. A pancake breakfast on Sunday morning (30th) seems a good idea - recharge before the last work day, and a way for everyone to get together, given that some can only be there for the weekend. Assuming it costs $5 - $10/person, and that everyone would have to help a bit, who'd be interested? (We could do breakfasts other mornings, too, but the logistics add up.)
6. The idea is to have fun, and meet new and old friends. We have some lively off topic discussions on SuperTopo, but most of the political and religious invective should be left outside the park. I hope that in person everyone will be civil, which isn't always the case on some threads.
7. I'll be away from tomorrow (2nd) through the 13th, but may occasionally be able to check in. The world will undoubtedly continue to rotate in my absence.

Very good, Ouch. Are those tears of joy on PMB's face, or tears of...something else?
I forgot to pay Comcast and had no internet for four days - now I know what I was missing!
As for the Facelift, I still don't know if I can make it because of school, but I'll send in the $30 because it's a good cause. Bring extra eel.

Jaybro, if I see you there on the weekend I'll make you sushi at no charge (will probably make it as a meal for myself and a few others). I probably won't have the extra goodies (fresh stuff) but I'm sure I'd have enough to satisfy (probably just veggie rolls and maybe some shrimp or a bit of eel).

The count is up to 19. I suppose I will now start taking donations (I put in an order yesterday for some of the fishes I'll use - kuan, I got tons of EEL!). I think currently I've changed my mind and will cap this thing at 30. I'll try and leave room for 5 more at the event.
First come, first serve. Many have contacted me so you will be getting an email with my address. I've gone over the various threads and so far only Fishy and wife have said they were in but have not confirmed. Everyone else has been kind enough to give their status.

It looks like Jaybro and possibly his daught will be in on Saturday. I'll be doing a small sushi dinner on that night as well. There's probably only about 4 spots left for that night so if interested let me know.
So yeah... if you are in on the sushi now is the time to cough up. It's really the only fair way to reserve the limited seating :-P
Looks like the count is down to 18.

It would appear the record will be beaten for the longest traveled sushifesterer - Fishy and wifey are coming in from Switzerland. Happies record (New York) will go down.
Though it is worth noting that Tom the Cop will probably own the longest drive record (Virginia) for some time.

I'm comin'. Nature, I may be interested in the sushi, you dirty hippy. I'm tryin' to figure out logistics. I gotta e-mail Ken I guess. What;s the current count on spots taken/available? My wife and dog will attend, but I'm gonna need a climbing partner for leads/belays. None of my buddies can make it.....

Just got back from a six day trip to the East Side and Tuolumne.
Jingy/Blue - OK let me know as funds would help.
Speaking of funding I spoke with Jesse the climbing ranger in Yosemite and he told me that he might be able to get me some funds from the park for the sushi and reduce the cost to everyone. I will stick with the $30/person for now and if that comes through I'll give you a refund at the fest. Jesse is really excited about the sushi.
He also has one major concern which is drinking and driving from the Sushi in Yellow Pines to your camp. As he'll be on-scene and "working" he said he'd let the other rangers know he has the scene under control. But he also pointed out that if anyone gets busted for DUI or the like it'd shut us down for good. We will make a point to ensure this doesn't happen.
Bluering - what do you plan to do with your pup? I might have to bring mine as well and am trying to figure out who to bribe to watch her while I climb or clean up.

Nature, If it does not interfere with my facelift duties, I will volunteer for a pet sit shift-while you climb. n.t.
edit: If you have a pitbull.... sorry- no way.

If I do come I'll probably leave the pup at home now that I think about it. Yosemite just isn't pup-friendly like Tuolumne.
Nature, I'll probably not do the sushi thing, only because it's still up in the air if I'm going or not...I'll know more real soon.

Bump. Though sushi on the 25th is all full up, there may be dribs and drabs over the following days. But you can still come to the BBQ, also on Tuesday night (25th) at Yellow Pines.

I'm going to have enough food with me to feed 80-100 people sushi. Who knows... Thursday might turn into another big sushi night. It wouldn't bother me. The 20 lb fillet of Big *must* be eaten.

bump... with directions to the sushi:
Yellow Pines is about a mile and a half and the second left past El Cap
turnaround on Southside Drive. There is a small sign that will say
Sentinel Beach and Yellow Pines. It is just before the Four Mile Trail
so you need to watch carefully because if you miss it you will have to
drive back around the short one-way loop. Do you mind posting the
directions on Supertopo for me? I am running out of time.

So it's the 25th and I went with a friend to the location nature describes above, labeled Yellow Pine and everything, it's going from dusk to dark and NOBODY is around. Not one car.
so I go to Camp 4 and look for a note to see if anything is moved. No note.
So what gives. Yellow Pine is not a group camp but it is located according to the directions above. I have to say I'm disappointed having driven a couple hours for nothing but maybe I'm missing something?
Peace
Karl
