Well, it's exactly one month to the start of the FaceLift. The FaceLift sushifest, ably organized by nature, will be on Tuesday September 25th at Yellow Pines group campground. From the 26th - 30th we'll all be helping with the FaceLift, and having fun.

They're full of information - see particularly posts from Chicken Skinner, nature, and me.
A full list of committed SuperTopo FaceLifters follows in the next post. It is everyone who's said they will or may attend, and where applicable the numbers of people and dates. A question mark indicates that there's some uncertainty about whether you can attend, or the dates - based solely on what's on the threads, and any e-mail I've received.
FaceLift Camping
Please contact Chicken Skinner (aka Ken) ASAP if you haven't already arranged for FaceLift camping. yager(at)inreach.com. We can all camp together at Yellow Pines on the evenings of the 25th and 26th, but after that may be separated.
AFAIK, park entry and camping for FaceLifters is free - if you've signed up in advance, and if you help. There are evening events every day, from the 26th (Wednesday) - 30th (Sunday). Food, speakers, prizes, etc. Mostly at the visitor centre.
FaceLift Sushi
This is on the evening of the 25th, and is being handled by nature, aka Doug. (douglas.lafarge _at_ gmail _dot_ com) $30, BYOB. There may still be a few places - let him know asap, and send your money. There'll be a parallel BBQ, for those who don't like sushi, or haven't signed up but show up anyway. But it will be entirely DIY.
Doug will need help getting set up on the afternoon of the 25th, during the event, and cleaning up. Especially cleaning up. If you arrive early, go to Yellow Pines and check on what's needed.
FaceLift Pancakes & Coffee (30th)
A capable kind soul has offered to put on a pancake breakfast on Sunday morning (30th). It would be somewhere central, e.g. Yellow Pines, and would cost $5 - $10 per person. This would be a chance for everyone to get together, relax, meet, and avoid work. As some SuperTopians can only come for the weekend, a chance for all to mingle. It will require a little less organization - the person has all the needed equipment, and would just need to haul it up, and get materials. The organizer will also need some help setting up, cooking, and cleaning up.
Please post a note if you want pancakes etc on the 30th - you probably won't have to actually pay until the FaceLift. We'll collect names and money up to the morning of the 29th (Saturday), then get groceries accordingly.
The good samaritan has also offered to brew up good coffee every morning of the FaceLift, location somewhere central TBA but perhaps Yellow Pines. He's currently sourcing a supply, but if anyone knows where we can get 8 - 10 kg of quality ground coffee donated...
Decorum
Not just a word play on my last name. We will be in the Valley, and so some behaviours would best be left elsewhere. The Valley, and FaceLift, just ain't the place for them. There's lots of opportunity to indulge elsewhere, and for a few days we need to at least pretend to be responsible citizens. (Boring grown up editorial now ends.)
Looking forward to seeing every one, meeting some new friends, and doing something to help a special place!

I currently have a list running which I will knott post that has 23 confirmed for sushi. Of those 13 have paid. I guess that means 13 confirmed and 10 stating the check is in the mail. I've no idea what my limit will be. If Brutus make it than we can handle 50-60.

Mighty Hiker, Thanks for all of your help and I look forward to seeing you again.
Nature, I sent you a check last week and my family will attend to sample your cuisine. Thank you for all your hard work too.
I still have some camping left, but it is going quickly. Email me if you need accommodations. I need to know for which nights, how many people, and whether Camp 4 or Yellow Pines. Soon there will not be a choice.
Does anyone want me to re-post the schedule and the evening events?
See you all there. I will be the one with red eyes and a spaced out look due to lack of sleep.

Ken - you are one (two) of the 13 paid. I recieved the check today. I'll probably even have some extras left over so expect a few kick-backs.
And I'm not sure if you caught that Ranger Jesse thinks there is a chance that the NPS will help with the fish costs. If so I'll be offering a refund to anyone already paid. He's also very excited about attending.

Thanks, Jeff. I summarized what Ken posted about planned evening events, as I reviewed the threads. Best as I can make out:
Wednesday (26th) 7:00 PM: Tom Frost will host a showing of Sentinel, the West Face. Yosemite Lodge Amphitheater.
Thursday (27th) 7:00 PM: Reel Rock Film Tour featuring King Lines starring Chris Sharma. Yosemite Lodge Amphitheater.
Friday (28th) at 7:00 PM: Timmy O'Neill presentation. East Auditorium.
Saturday (29th) at 6:30 PM: Tommy Caldwell presentation. East Auditorium. There is an Octoberfest party at the El Portal Community Hall the same evening and Ken scheduled Tommy's show early enough to do both.
Sunday (30th) at 6:00 PM: Party for the participants including free food, free beer and wine, raffle, and live music from the Joe Paquin Band. East Auditorium.
I believe there are abundant draw prizes, too.
Daytimes are simple: Show up in front of the Visitor Centre, 8 - 10 AM. Sign in. If you don't have a good idea for a needed project, Ken & company will suggest one. They also have litter sticks and bags - bring a pair or two of sturdy gloves, decent footwear, and whatever food, drink and clothing you'll need during the day. Anything else that may be useful for cleanup projects, including possibly small hand tools. Report back to VC when done, no later than 5 PM. Bring all garbage, so it can be weighed and sorted.
It looks like there'll be several evenings when we're on our own for food, though we'd only have until 6:30 or so.
Ken: Monday I am resting after cleaning the East Auditorium. (Whether the aforementioned cleaning is happening on Sunday night or Monday morning, we should all help.)

Good Job Mighty Hiker,
I have non-latex gloves available and any tools needed I should be able to get from NPS or by other means including chain saws, wire cutters, ladders, and cutoff saws. I have some heavy duty projects planned including abandoned overhead phone lines and steel conduit in the river, and other assorted things.I am trying to put together a Tuolumne check-in/weigh station (mostly roadways and turnouts) for all you folks on the East Side though I think us Valley folks will find a lot more than you will.
Royal Robbins is going to co-host the Sentinel,West Face along with Tom Frost. The evening shows are coming together and should be good.
Thank you all for helping to make this happen. It is awesome!
Ken

Here's a challenge to us Facelifter's - can we do something that will get a group picture of us printed in a Patagonia catalog?
Something with decorum - maybe 50 Capilene clad litter hounds playing softball with recycled water bottles. Or a Synchilla Sushi Orgy with Nature on a pedestal.
Serious about this - I know that someone has the camera and the skills to get a cool action shot - heaven knows we've got enough Patawear between everyone to start our own outlet store - so wardrobe is covered.
We just need a cool visual idea and we're in there.
Spring 2008 - GOAL!

One thing I hope to do is keep track of person-days SuperTopians contribute to the FaceLift. Not quite sure how to do so, and it adds to the to do list, but it would be nice to know. A picture would be nice, too, even if just for the gang.
I'll be the one with the hockey stick.
No one seems to be nibbling much on the pancakes, so far - but they should take a bit less planning and preparation.

Thanks, Nita. Assuming the pancake breakfast happens, all you should need to bring is yourself, friend(s), dishes and cutlery, (say) $10, and a willingness to help a bit. Price TBA, but should include everything. Although anyone who wants ketchup on her/his sausages may be in DIY country. We have to draw the line somewhere.
We're thinking pancakes (+ syrup, butter), bacon, coffee, juice, maybe sausages. Other ideas?
Is $10 reasonable? We'd signup people and collect during the first few days of the FaceLift, so we could plan and get supplies. If there's any money left over, we'll just give it to the Yosemite Climbing Association.

Hmmm, why not? What of "vegetarian" alternatives, for those who choose them?
Perhaps when we sign people up, we can get their names and (within reason) menu preferences, then do our best to meet them.
Edit: Marmot rolls, and acorn bread from El Cap Meadows, seem a bit of a stretch.

In the sausage factory, they use every part but the squeak.

Bingo!! We have a winner!
A. Crowley has just volunteered to help make and dispense pancakes at the FaceLift. It's clear from his posting that he has fearsome expertise in the delicate art of pancake making - I expect he'll be tossing them in the air and catching them, possibly blindfolded. Perhaps he'll provide lesser mortals, such as Nita and myself, with lessons. Learning at the feet of the master...
ps His shift starts at 5:00 AM.

Umm yes, forgot about including eggs. Important to maximize the cholestorol. Pancakes (thin, thick, whatever - what if I make waffles?), butter & syrup, coffee, juice, bacon, sausage (real and faux), and eggs. What else?
nature (and Summit) are being held in reserve, and have crowd control capabilities other than just sushi making, if you know what I mean.
Morning bump, so the weekday shifts don't miss anything.

I suggest that people bring mitts, bats, and balls - you never know what we might get up to. Frisbees and such, too.
Whatever else, don't forget to bring utensils - knife, fork, spoon, chop sticks, plate, cup, bowl etc. In keeping with the spirit of FaceLift, there will be no disposables available, whether for the SushiFest, the pancake breakfast, or otherwise. We will, however, provide hot soapy water to wash your dishes, and hot rinse water with a touch of bleach in it.
Also, if anyone can bring firewood - a lot of firewood - that would be very helpful.

Nature,
Myself and my fiance (she'll be my wife by then!) will definitely be attending the Sushi Fest.
I am super psyched about the dinner. I wanted to attend the little dinner you had planned in Tuolumne, but I got side tracked by climbing in Olmstead Canyon.
Also, just to clarify, I am trying to get a potential sponsor to pay for the Sushi Fest or part of it. The NPS wouldn't/couldn't pay for this kind of event. Hopefully we can find a sponsor though, and I'll keep trying. We shall see.
See you then,

(Edited repost.)
We probably should talk about car pooling, and other ways to reduce the environmental impact of our all attending the FaceLift. Any ideas? Werner, should we all buy trees, or you got enough pencils to go around?
On a somewhat related note, I'm sure Ken has done an excellent job of rounding up prizes for volunteers. We all love nice new goodies, but we also know there are some important values underlying the FaceLift. One is the environment, another is thinking of others.
I suggest that those SuperTopian FaceLifters who don't need or want more gear, or who simply wish to abstain, refrain from entering the draws. It would say something about what's important to us, and enhance the chances of others who may have greater need - there'll be lots of young people there, and neither Camp 4 residents, students, nor Valley employees are noted for an excess of disposable (or any) income.
A morally sound compromise might be to enter the draws, but turn anything you don't really need or want back into the pool, for another to win.
Just an idea, that would be entirely voluntary and anonymous, as such things should be. Not an anti-materialist statement - people who live in glass houses, like me, shouldn't throw stones. But it may be a nice gesture.

I'm an idiot too! The thing is, if you look on the nps.gov site for yose they don't have any info on this campground. Does it really exist? Do I really exist? are we really having sushi and pancakes?

Yellow Pines used to be the Muir Campground many years ago. It is now a Volunteer Campground.

To get rid of any confusion, here is a map. Bicycles are handy here to avoid driving around.

Thanks for the griddle Nature! I'm not sure of the idea of sushi with pancakes, but maybe lox w/ crepes?
Some like 'em thin. REAEAEAEALLLLLY thin!
A crκpe (pronounced IPA /kreɪp/, French /kʀɛp/) is a type of very thin cooked pancake usually made from wheat flour. The word, like the pancake itself, is of French origin, deriving from the Latin crispa, meaning "curled".

Jingy - Will show up Friday night.
Where do I go?
Who do I talk to about what I do?
How does this thing work?
Don't worry, I'm not a complete idiot... I'll just trip around until I find something that looks like a large crowd of well behaved climber types.
