Overheard coming from what appeared to be a red tent. Hard to tell colors in the dark. "Turn that headlamp off and I'll eat it". "WHA! Fool! You eat that headlamp and you'll choke to death".

Rad - yeah, heard it all. It was quite funny. Never did hear what climb you two settled on before hearing a lot of rustling in the tent, the starting of the vehicle, and it racing off.

Didn't see you guys again after that so it must have been good! You were a climbing machine at the facelift. Sorry we didn't have a chance to chat more.

Rocks were falling all around us but I didn't move out of the way. I'm too dumb to move out of the way.

We must be Brothers, I'm too dumb to move out of the way too.


It was nice meeting you Riley. :-)


..........

I didn't tell you my story of why I am too dumb to move. The first time I cut a tree down the guy teaching me warned me that the top might break off and fall towards me. Sure enough, it did. I just stood there and watched it come whizzing down towards me.

Naw.. its not going to hit me.
Naw.. Its not going to hit me.

Woooo.. it missed.

haha..

You stupid f@ck. Why didn't you move when I yelled at you?

uuuuuhhh. Cause I knew it wasn't going to hit me.

I can't think of any of the Overheards form the last 2 years. So I'll just post some photos....

Just booked my flight for this year - arriving Monday, 9/20 early evening, and departing Monday the 27th in the afternoon. I am traveling with another person which is nice and helpful with rental expenses, and also my friend Ha is coming from Bishop.

You can't get married in the park without a park representative present. I would be delighted to be that representative.

Yup folks the rumor is true. We got the go-ahead. Looks like the first Facelift wedding is happening mid-week Facelift 2011.

We ultimately decided it was easier to take the wedding to our friends rather than to have the dirtbags come to a wedding ;)

We've got a date.... and nothing else at this point and this a ways off. We'll post up a thread when we get a bit closer and have fleshed out the details. This will likely happen on Wednesday, so that it does not conflict with the main Facelift event over the weekend.

Timid: Of course you can be the musician- we wouldn't have it any other way.

How does sashimi go with chocolate, vanilla and other essential elements of a wedding cake, indeed of any cake? Maybe you can get sushi-shaped things made from marzipan, for decorations?

Anyway, I hope I'll be invited.
