Now I'm kicking myself.
Don't get me wrong, it was a great party. I got to see old friends and make a few new ones after just introducing myself to new faces, but seeing identifying photos now of some of the people I didn't get to is a pisser because it turns out I often already knew who they were.
Maybe using those hokey nametag type deals isn't such a bad idea given the faceless nature of much posting.

My theory is....if you're close enough to read the name tag, you're close enough to say with a smile, "Hi, I'm lynne and you are ?"

hey there, say... i just saw blitzo stopped by with some photos and a 'right nice' 'hey there, say'....
say, just like locker... i am on dial-up and i get red x's... and then after waiting for awhile, i DO get some photos show up...
i will have to come back later to see the rest, as this takes wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too long... saw the nice cactus garden , and saw tarbuster and lisa? (name right?) and saw hoss julia in the ol cowboy hat... say most all of blitzo's black and white, but other photos i have to go hit the red x, or they won't open..
thanks for the wonderful share, all...
god bless, to all... :)

I've been posting some photos on the other thread. I can't believe how many tacos I was around and didn't even know it. I am a huge fan of name tags. I'm so bummed I didn't get to meet so many of you though I was probably standing right next to you!
Friggin' great time in J-Tree. :)

We all can agree that Tarbuster and his wife are both beautiful and inspirational! They really are even better in person. Of coarse Todd Gordon was a fantastic host! Nature and Ron did magic, "plus that other helper (name?) all made great sushi! Yes, the auction was great, the slideshow was great, the music was great, etc. How could such an event not be good? I really believe only great things can happen around such a crowd.
Thank you Lynne for dragging me out! Thank you Cosmic for your kindness etc.
Plus... I must give a shout out to everyone else that I had a great chance to meet, see again, etc. (I can't list you all, there was so many of you that my head is still working through the memories.)
Beyond that, I am really impressed upon how many folks from Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and Canada were there! Talk about dedicated and awesome!

Now as for the mystery identities of the women in Blitzo's pictures...
Blitzo,
The beautiful blond you are posing with is Karin Burnes, a Ventura/LA climber who along with her husband have recently become Joshua Tree residents.
The other beauty, the brunette in white is Teresa Szabo who happens to be a good friend of Karin's. Both women are fantastic climbers that are regular visitors of the park.
:)

Hey Prod -
You did very well at the auction! You will be receiving a very cool DVD (clean walls DVD by Lowe and Piton Ron I think) and a certificate for a pair of Evolve shoes! Congratulations!!!

Boy, did I screw up by missing this one the whole old school T and S gang in attendants except me and Simms. But there was just no way with only two weeks to go till retirement it was an impossible date too make. Glad everyone had a good time and came out for Roy!

Also doing well at the auction was zip. He bought Jude Bischoff's Camp 46 in Hidden Valley. This pic taken at the very site where the now owner of this original piece spent many good times.

AF, sorry I missed you (again) we came in late and it was pretty dark back there. Maybe next time.
As Blitzo downloaded his photo's today, I declared that Teresa (who I did not meet) is incapable of taking anything less than a stunning photograph.
It sure looks like those girls Karin, Teresa and Ellen were having a great time. I talked with Ellen a bit at the sushi-booth. Very nice.
Super great turn out. Thanks Gordo for your hospitality, you're a good friend to have!
