2011 DGCR Flip City Meet!!

Events will run from October 21-23rd at Fabulous Flip City in Shelby Michigan (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=468). Camping is available at Flip City but please, please let me know if you plan on camping so I can let Bill (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/profile.php?id=1935) know that you will be pitching your tent on his property. Please know that if you ARE camping, this is RUSTIC camping. There is no water or electricity provided to campers. Port-a-potties are available on-site, garbage cans are available and a necessity to use. There is one firepit near the camping area and one LARGE firepit nearer Bill’s house. For those less adventurous, there are hotels locally in Hart, Whitehall, and Ludington.

Events as follows:

Friday, October 21st at 5pm we will do an impromptu “Ace Race” I will try to get up early to set up ace race tees. We’ll play horseshoes style. 1pt for metal, 2pts for chains and 3pts for aces, highest total wins a prize or two! Required to use the same mid or putter for the whole round in true ace race fashion!

Saturday, October 22nd at noonish we’ll play a singles tourney, 4 to 5 per group randomly drawn, one round of 24 holes. Best three rounds (1st, 2nd, 3rd) will win prizes! Then you’ll have the rest of the day to do whatever, I would recommend Ludington, Whitehall, Branstrom(Fremont) and possibly Fallasburg in Grand Rapids even, West Michigan is a Treasure Trove of great disc golf.

Sunday, October 23rd at noonish we’ll play a Hi-Lo Doubles tourney, that means that the best and worst rounds will be doubles partners (and so on). This assures fairness and that we’ll make new buddies , prizes again for first, second and third place teams.

I think for now we’ll drop the idea of a Glo Tourney for now as I’m sure glo rounds will be played a-plenty!
Please note that I’m instituting a $10 buy-in for the ENTIRE WEEKEND. I need to buy prizes and I don’t think it’s too much to ask since camping is free and it’ll be well worth the time we’ll have. Please pay paypal to Apdrvya@gmail.com as a gift (or PM me if you need to pay another way). PM me when you have paid and I will confirm (hopefully on the OP) that you are coming for sure and you have paid.

I hope that I can do this right, I know that TerryC is usually the organizer for all things West Michigan Disc Golf but I’m taking the reins on this one this year.

if your whole crew is coming, shoot me their names (DGCR Names?) and I will add them too ;)

[roadtripstuff]

I'm not 100% yet, but I'm pretty sure I'll be able to make it. I do have a question about the buy-in, what are we doing for donations for Bill? I'm sure folks will want to toss in something for him and his awesome course, maybe bump that $10 up to $15 with five going to the course? Or we could all just toss him a fiver when we get there, but it might be better just to give it to him as a lump sum.

Just tossing it out there. I really really hope I can make it up for this one, I'm dying to play Flip.

[bizarbies]

Probably they will, I'll talk with them tomorrow, and I'll ask Amenz too. Was I the 1st to slap down dough? Get some yall!! Pay the man, and commit to a weekend of fun!

Team Bert

[bizarbies]

I'm giving Bill dough for camping separate, and I always throw in 3$ a day to play. Worth every penny.

Team Bert

yessir, first to pay! please send me a PM so I can remember who's paid! :)

[apdrvya]

I forgot to mention something: the more people sign up the more awesomer the prizes will be... if four guys are coming, I guess dx dragons will be the prize :)

[bizarbies]

I have a Shore Acres club disc as a prize/ctp, black magnet.

[apdrvya]

We could do it that way too I suppose, or you could save it for the "swap meet."

[bizarbies]

I was just donating a discraft disc that I don't want touching my babies!! LOL!

[apdrvya]

understood completely...and accepted :hfive:

[ejvogie]

Sending cash now. I can also throw in an Aerobie #3 Sharpshooter as a gag prize :D

[apdrvya]

nice :hfive:

[ejvogie]

nice :hfive:

Does this mean I can finally get rid, errr, that you'd like the Sharpshooter to give away as a prize? :p

[bizarbies]

Come on yall, who's coming? Let's get some commitments! No pressure!! LOL!

[sgamerp]

I may be down, and possibly bring a friend or two. This is going to be a blast... gotta just figure out what my job is like so I know to take off the days.

[apdrvya]

eff your job, get your ass to flip! :)

[sgamerp]

eff your job, get your ass to flip! :)

Well, I am saying I may switch jobs, so I would have to tell them, but I will know tomorrow. I bike by your house like once a week, so I may just drop off the cash sometime. I will probably text you and see if you are home first though.

[apdrvya]

sounds good.

KnownKiller has comitted to the weekend... I gotta get a mod to update my OP sometime...

also, asked was can he be in the dubs tourney and no participate in the singles? I'm good with that, but dubs partner will be RANDOM.

also, I hear that Whitehall's ace race is saturday, not sure on time but if it's in the evening that could be a fun addition to the weekend.

[KnownKiller]

Hey ap, Tee off at Whitehall Ace Race is at 1pm. But I guess they are doing something after the round. Probably a dubs round or disc shoe(putting) tourney or something.

[apdrvya]

cool. well. maybe we can move the dubs tourney to 4pm or something... wouldn't be aweful I guess.

[sgamerp]

Are you doing the spinskis one this weekend?

[apdrvya]

nah. I didn't know about it and I'ma be out of town...

[KnownKiller]

I'll be at Spinski's this weekend. I've never played there. Whats it like?

[sgamerp]

I'll be at Spinski's this weekend. I've never played there. Whats it like?

Never played before I was going last year but it was on my ex girlfriend and mine 1 yr and I figured it would be bad idea to go disc on that day. I have heard its very tight... but Never played. I know he said last year all holes were between 100 and 175 feet.

[Hyzer's]

Although I'm planning on working, I could possibly make it up. What is the consensus on bringing up discs for trades? I'll ask Bill, if it's alright with you guys.

[ejvogie]

What is the consensus on bringing up discs for trades?

FWIW, I've been hearing that it's damn near required. I've never been to a meet, but it seems like you'd be crazy not to bring all your tradeables.

Oh, and your travel tags too :D

[apdrvya]

yeah, I don't think bill would mind...
about the only thing bill minds is destruction of private property and littering. :D

Imagine the deep nine at White Hall with 8ft wide fairways and that's what its like. Very hard, me personally have never played it, but many of my friends have. The place to go is Blue Gill, I'm might be playing there on Wednesday, I'm keeping my fingers crossed! I'm good with what ever everyone else is good with, its going to be my fall vacation so I have no problems with what ever we do..... as long as I am discing! No word on the rest of Team Bert, but I'm sure one or two will be down. I'm getting excited just thinking of a glow round at flip, never done it.
Biz

[ArcheType]

yeah, I don't think bill would mind...
about the only thing bill minds is destruction of private property and littering. :D
And "shining the hole." If you play glow with bill, do not shine your flashlight down the hole to light it up, he gets really mad, lol. Apparently he kicked a guy out at glow leagues for that.

[apdrvya]

archetype, you comin' up!?!?!

[apdrvya]

First "prize disc" obtained today!

[bizarbies]

archetype, you comin' up!?!?!

Right? I asked him a couple days ago and he said.......... no.:(
Something about college and starting a DG team at college, I want a team dri fit!! Good luck at college archetype!!

[apdrvya]

just sent out a mass pm to the people who expressed interest in the first thread...
hopefully we can get some more folks on board.

[Terry C]

Hey fellers and brethren alike, just logged on to dgcr for the first time in a lil while. Ive only been able to get out a few times discing this year, been super busy traveling around MI for work. The flip city meet is always a blast. Flip is beautiful. Ill do my best to make it. I'm probably a bit rusty but would love to get out, see some friends and do some chuckin. Ill keep in touch and thanks Jeff for organizing things this year, Ive been out of the loop, missing disc golf and all the fun and shenanigans that goes along with it. Ill talk with y'all soon.

[apdrvya]

Terry, we look forward to having you... Be great to hang out again!

[WorldsCoolestGuy]

I'm not 100% yet, but I'm pretty sure I'll be able to make it.

I'm on this as well... I don't think it should be a problem though.:thmbup:

[apdrvya]

I'm just sending out reminders :D

[Violets caddy]

As much as I would love to commit I'm afraid I won't know until the week of.
My daughter and I are playing the mixed dubs cancer benefit at flip the weekend before the meet. Between entry fee/gas/donations I'm not sure if ill have the funds for back to back weekends at flip.

[bizarbies]

[apdrvya]

[sgamerp]

I will come early too, Maybe we can have a grand rapids crew set up/roundy pooh. I have been biking and running a lot so I don't disc as much as normal. This should be a nice little get away for me :-D

[apdrvya]

indeedy!

[KnownKiller]

I will be staying at my grandparents house so I won't need a campsite.

[apdrvya]

Someone from Kentucky sent me money but I don't know who...

[roadtripstuff]

I'm 99% sure I'll make it up. I'm going to talk to a couple of my buddies and see if they are down to make the trip and then I'll shoot you the moolah.

[Jukeshoe]

please please please, let me know if you're planning on camping! I have to let bill know!!

Uh, I'd be camping fo' sho' if I can make it. :thmbup:

[apdrvya]

the kentucky member is "ripper"

need to know if he's camping or not!

[ejvogie]

If any Ohio peepz want to pool, I'm down

please please please, let me know if you're planning on camping! I have to let bill know!!

Camping fo sho, got plenty of room to spare, in a plutonic totally hetero kind of way.

[apdrvya]

of couse! I figured you were...

[fishmich]

this sounds like something id really like to participate in. is there a deadline for signing up because i probably wont know if i can make until late sept/early october.

[apdrvya]

no deadline... just hit me up when you know! some people will pay that weekend i'm sure too...

[E-man]

Sounds great. I was thinking if we started a round by 2pm then we should have plenty of time to play and have it setup for 5pm. Tentative 2pm tee-time on that Friday?

[KnownKiller]

If i get that friday off ill be up there as well. Wont find out for a few weeks but would still be fun.

[apdrvya]

I should be good for 2p.
I'm going to figure out the ace race tees over the next few weeks here and then list them...I don't think we'll run any more than 18 holes for the ace race and most (if not all) will be under 200'

[SAxDrc]

I'd like to attend but sadly won't know my work schedule until like a week before. I live like 12 minutes away so if anyone has questions about the area let me know...

[bizarbies]

Biz is camping.
Biz

[apdrvya]

sax, you can let me know... there isn't a deadline.

[sgamerp]

I am down and will also be camping.

[apdrvya]

bumpin' it up! a couple more in!

[apdrvya]

lets keep 'em comin' folks!

[sgamerp]

yay!

[apdrvya]

so. I gotta start plotting our ace race... any suggestions?
I'm thinking 18 holes total. skipping some of the longer holes (2, 2a, etc) but I gotta take a look at the junior tee lengths to see what we're doing for sure.

Is it true that your body modification will be making an appearance?

[apdrvya]

no sir, well, maybe my tattoos.. but I'm keeping my pants on ;)

[ejvogie]

no sir, well, maybe my tattoos.. but I'm keeping my pants on ;)

yay!

^this ;)

[apdrvya]

indeed, yay!

[GameDayTested]

I'll see if I am able to make this. Even if not, I plan on playing this course sometime this year. What is the proper etiquette to ask/play?

[apdrvya]

simply put... you can show up to play (don't need to call ahead) MAKE SURE YOU PUT MONEY IN THE BOX at tee one... bill is a one man army and doesn't get paid to do the work he does on his "back yard" donate donate donate...

please please please remember this is a private course. don't litter, no dogs and be respectful...

and game day... I hope you can make it up in october fwiw!

[GameDayTested]

I hope so, and thanks for the help. I think me and a buddy will actually be heading up there next week on vacation. Gonna try and head a bit off of the path and hit up Idlewild before that. Some courses along the way and hopefully find a disc golf shop.

[apdrvya]

game day. If you can be there on WEDNESDAY, you could play leagues with us! we play shot gun start at 6pm.. just sayin' it's a great way to learn the course with the locals.... and me of course :)

[apdrvya]

I now have 5 discs for prizes!! we're gettin' there.
need some cones or flags or something to mark ace race tees next...

[KnownKiller]

I can't wait. Its going to be a blast! Too bad I gotta wait til October. Finally get to meet some of the people on here, who right now are just names.:thmbup:

[GameDayTested]

I'll send you a message if I can make it Wednesday night.

[apdrvya]

sweet. or text me at 616-901-3007

[apdrvya]

GameDayTested comin' up for leagues wednesday :hfive:

[KnownKiller]

Ill be up Friday morning to help you guys setup/play a round.

[apdrvya]

sweet, any body know where I can get 18 of those little orange cones to mark ace race tees??

[KnownKiller]

I would think any sporting good store would have them.

[apdrvya]

they also have them on ebay..
so, you black aced ruby ridge, eh?

[KnownKiller]

Ruby Ridge??

[Jukeshoe]

Ruby Ridge. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruby_Ridge)

I'm just as confused as you are as to what he's talkin' 'bout. :popcorn:

[apdrvya]

I was playin' with some locals last week and they were calling the ridge on 8 (to the left) ruby ridge...
dunno, I figured you'd know...

[KnownKiller]

Nope. I've only played Pro/Ams there like 5 times. Never heard it called that. But yeah. Just a grip lock throw. Funny when it happened. During my last Satruday Pro/Ams.

[apdrvya]

it's a nice course... I liked it anyways, a nice walk through the woods is what I will title my review :D



when I get to it.

[ejvogie]

sweet, any body know where I can get 18 of those little orange cones to mark ace race tees??

Go to Home Depot and buy the orange marker flags. I think they come in bundles of 100. I've never priced them, but I'm guessing they're cheaper than cones, especially from a sporting goods store.

-edit- This may not work on hard or rocky ground. :D

[apdrvya]

yeah, I was thinking about those too, but didn't know where to get them.

[E-man]

This was my idea too because those flags gotta be cheaper, unless you want some cones. :p


They should work fine at Flip City because we won't set up any tees on hard or rocky ground. Right? :eek:

[NOSteveLA]

I miss flip city,lived in G-R for a few years and it is a gem.

[MDeezy]

I am very interested, I also have tons of plastic to donate and sell.

[apdrvya]

e-man: I'm thinking the flags will be best as well, a lot of the short tees will be the "junior tees" that are already in the ground anyways.

NOSteveLA: c'mon up! got one coming up from kentucky, maybe you guys can carpool (contact: Ripper)

MDeezy: c'mon up! get in touch with me if you want to donate. I don't think selling/trading will be an issue.

[apdrvya]

gettin' stoked for october! threw my best round at Flip Last night at leagues at a +14...

[apdrvya]

Stoked

[bizarbies]

Yeah Deezy! I hope you come up. Let me know, maybe carpool?
Biz

[ejvogie]

Anybody coming from Ohio or the East side of the mitten, maybe carpool?

[roadtripstuff]

Anybody coming from Ohio or the East side of the mitten, maybe carpool?

I might be coming up, but I don't know yet for sure. I may have a carload already though, but I'm not holding my breath. I'll keep you posted.

[WorldsCoolestGuy]

Unfortunately I'm out on this weekend. I gotta "dogsit"... If it was the next weekend, it would be a different story. I really wanna go too.:(

[MDeezy]

Looks like I have our annual "Fright Night" Tourney on Oct 22nd. Could I come up for the dubs on Sunday? (I can still donate plastic and pay if needed)

[apdrvya]

yessir!
where is fright night?
you could make it to the ace race on friday too :)

[MDeezy]

It is the 3rd annual Shore Acres DGC Fright Night. Do you need me to pay in for the dubs?

[apdrvya]

yeah. if you want potential prizes :)
the dubs prizes will be worth it...

[apdrvya]

Went up to flip today scouting some ace race tees...

[BogeyNoMore]

Sounds great, but not quite sure if I can make that weekend. Will check my calendar and get back on this.

[apdrvya]

cool. make it happen! :)

[apdrvya]

hoping to have all the prizes in soon...
although with a lack of people committing, I may scale it back to first prize and possibly 2nd.

[sgamerp]

So I got it in stone that I have the weekend off!!!!

[Ripper]

I'm in. Possibly three others not sure. Have camera equipment and if anyone has 11x teebirds i'll have cash to exchange! :)

[apdrvya]

Eff yeah

:hfive:
ripper, when you get numbers they can either pay me that weekend or paypal me the ten bucks!
I am hoping (and hoping) that we can hit 20-25 people....

[bizarbies]

I'm in. Possibly three others not sure. Have camera equipment and if anyone has 11x teebirds i'll have cash to exchange! :)
What weights and what kind of camera equipment?

Surgery > Flip City Meet

It's not like a life or death surgery, so that's why I am hoping for after it. But will see.

[Hyzer's]

Johnsons has a tourney with wood posts? Pssssh

There will be portables, right now we have about 13 or 14 lined up.

[Hyzer's]

Man, I have to get kidney surgery. I am hoping to push it back til after this so I can come. But may have to back out depending on when I have this. I will keep you up to date.

To Flip or Johnson? Either way, hope everything goes well.

[sgamerp]

To Flip or Johnson? Either way, hope everything goes well.

When is Johnson? I am having it in November so I should be able to go to this. I do have a portable basket, but the base needs something under it to be flat.

[bizarbies]

Yeah because wooden posts are the worst

Better than trees.... those were the first baskets for me, trees, lamp posts, sign posts.... kzoo was the closest course(coldbrooke) and that's an hour away.... golf is golf.

[bizarbies]

And Cole buddy, I hope you can make it, but if not good luck on your surgery!

thanks again to everyone who has paid ahead for the weekend, and please IF YOU CAN PAY AHEAD!!

[ejvogie]

I've got an Aerobie Sharpshooter we can use for shortest drive :D

-edit- Better yet; since it's a putter, we'll use it for the shortest missed putt. :hfive:

[apdrvya]

that works :hfive:





looks like I got an epic comin my way :\

[ejvogie]

Trouble on the horizon...

I was looking at the request off book at work yesterday. I had requested the weekend for the meet back in July, but now there's a note (which wasn't there in July) that says we need to see a manager before requesting time for that weekend since it's the weekend we do our Halloween promotion. I hope I've still got that weekend since I requested it early, but that's up in the air right now.

QUIT!! I can give you a job at my bar in Saugatuck!!
Nice prizes Jeff.... just wish it wasn't so much discrap.. oh well, a prize is a prize. I might have some discs to put towards ctps and such. Maybe an 11x champion aviar..... I might have one to spare! Ace Race tomorrow at Shore Acres if anyone's interested.1130 sharp.

Tempting offer, but it's a hell of a commute from Toledo. Maybe if gas prices drop by $3 a gallon

[apdrvya]

you know you want to move to the mitten!

[ejvogie]

you know you want to move to the mitten!

Yeah but even if I did, it would prolly be to AA so my wife could make mad cash at UofM hospital (she's an RN). Problem is I wouldn't know which flag to fly, my tOSU or my U of Toledo :D (both of which I'd likely get shot for flying).

[apdrvya]

this is probably true.
move to grand rapids and make some mad money at spectrum where I used to work.
(as an RN)

*breakdances on Michigan disc golf*

[apdrvya]

just played riverside in the rain!
still awesome!!
jeebuz, I love it here.

[bizarbies]

I'm really missing playing for the last couple weeks. My shoulder is feeling better every day, and I'm hoping to make a full recovery by the Flip meet. If not its lefty, which just bums me out.

[sgamerp]

well I got some good news, I think I should be able to come even after the surgery, I just can only lift 10 lbs. So someone is going to have to carry my cooler full of beer. :-D

[ejvogie]

So someone is going to have to carry my cooler full of beer. :-D

I may not carry it, but I'll help you lighten the load :hfive:

Also, that's much classier than where that COULD have gone :gross:

Team Bert

Oh, you'll ask me eh? I guess I'm still waiting man:p. Let me talk with BigBob and Dan and we'll see. This sounds like fun.

[apdrvya]

it will most certainly be fun :O) especially if we get some more peeps.

[AikoAdam]

As much as I'd like to meet the Michigan folks that weekend is Mustard Cup in Ludington.

[BigBob]

Aw man, sounds like an awesome weekend but I was planning to play Fright Night at Shore Acres on the 22nd (day round and glow round). Not sure if there is a way to do both, but let me try to figure something out.

[apdrvya]

bob,
I always think of flip city as a "special" thing, whereas shore acres is always right there, and when would you have a chance to meet people from dgcr???
hope this helps you make your decision... biz will be there. :)

No fright night for me this year... I'm camping and throwing flip... hope to get a disc though! Big bob, you know what discs Travis is getting for fright night??

What is Mustard Cup and which course(s)? :confused:

Leviathan??? :popcorn:

[apdrvya]

getting excited!! less than a month!

[bizarbies]

All I need is a new sleeping bag and I'm good to go. Any one know where to get a zero degree bag on the cheap? I saw one in Walmart for 50$ and I thought that was cheap, but who knows, maybe one of you peeps know something better or cheaper. Can't wait... I'm excited to be able to golf at the crack of dawn and not have to drive anywhere. Sounds so good...

For a while we had planned to get married here in GR, then drive straight up to Flip for the meet. She just recently suggested that we get married at Flip City.

Maybe a keeper?

I had better be serious!


I have a couple of leads, but one person wants $200 to do it. It's going to happen regardless, but I'm hoping to find someone whose time is not worth more than $100/hour.

I'm looking into finding somebody more local to Flip City, but if you have any ideas they would be greatly appreciated!

[apdrvya]

let me look into it.

[AikoAdam]

Leviathan??? :popcorn:

League tourney and yes at Leviathan. I can get you more info after Sunday or Tuesday night is the fall MCDGO meeting. I'm not sure of the specifics. I just started leagues here.

It would be like a big sock!! In other news... I was almost smashed in the huge wind and rain storms we had last night... I had a huge branch from a tree come down right in front of me and I ran it over and popped my tire and bent my rim so bad it look like a taco. 263$ for a new rim and two tires... not a good day.. at least I wasn't smashed!

[apdrvya]

http://edge.papercutpm.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/hulk-smash.png

glad you're ok buddy....
I was driving home from work in Lansing last night when the gust front came through. I was on wb Saginaw Ave facing west and the wind was totally rocking my car... and moving traffic barrels down the road.

[E-man]

I was at Jaycee. I thought I could get 18 in before the storms hit, but only made it to hole 9. I ran like hell hoping that I wouldn't get killed by a tree limb!

[apdrvya]

that storm was crazy.

[apdrvya]

anyone else ready to commit!?

[bizarbies]

How many are in for sure and paid at this point?

[apdrvya]

I believe the OP is up to date...

[bizarbies]

I guess I could've figured that out.... takes me a minute sometimes....

[E-man]

that storm was crazy.

80 degrees on October 5th is CRAZY!!! :D :thmbup:

[apdrvya]

true, that and the 5000 people at riverside today for some stupid cross country BS> was crazy as well...

[apdrvya]

wtf, anyone else coming?

[bizarbies]

Just hope the weather holds like this for the meet!!

[KnownKiller]

Regardless of what the weather is, its still going to be a blast!

[E-man]

Goin to Flip today.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[apdrvya]

what time?

[E-man]

Leavin town in about an hour. I'll probably tee off around 4 though.

[apdrvya]

damn.
aight man.

He ain't lying!!
Biz

[apdrvya]

this is truth!

[apdrvya]

so thinking some slightly different start times

if people start showing up at 3:30 on friday we can start at say 4pm
then saturday/sunday if we start at 10am, we'll have more time to hit ludington, etc...
thoughts?

[Jukeshoe]

LUDINGTON!!!!!!

*flexes*


:thmbup:

(I'm down for whatev, but I do want to get at least Leviathan in.)

[apdrvya]

juke, I"m down for leviathan...
or goliath.
or beast...
whatevs....

[Jukeshoe]

We'll see what happens!!! :)

[AikoAdam]

Your best bet for Leviathan is Friday or evening on Sat or Sunday. There is a closed match play tourney there both days. Just a friendly heads up.

[apdrvya]

I have flags!
for the ace race tees that is... :)



hey, can you guys grab a rick of firewood or more on your way up so we have a stock pile??

Thanks for the heads up!!! I'll most likely attempt to hit Leviathan on Friday, then (early start).

so elliot, you're getting married the morning of the 21st and then coming up to flip ???

[Jukeshoe]

E-man knows how it's done! :cool: :thmbup:

so you're putting your tent way out in the woods right? :D

[E-man]

so elliot, you're getting married the morning of the 21st and then coming up to flip ???

I am getting married at Flip City. (Wow)

We will only have about 15 or so people in attendance, plus any random DGers at the time. :D

Tentative time is 11:30am so we can have time for disc golf directly following. We have a friend that just got "ordained" last January, we will be the first couple he marries. Oh yeah, custom dyed wedding discs are being made-just getting ten of them for our immediate family and us.

/crazy. :clap:

[apdrvya]

that's awesome... I think some of us will be up there at that point....

[Jukeshoe]

Damn, I won't be up there (most likely) until a bit later.

I'd have liked to witness a dg wedding!!! Congrats and have fun!! (take pictures, obv).

[bizarbies]

Jeff, what time are you getting there?

[apdrvya]

thinking 10am.

[bizarbies]

That sounds good, 10am. Got my new sleeping bag, dunhams had a nice zero degree bag for 39$. Hopefully its not that cold and I can use my less heavy-duty bag, but better warm than cold! The white guy in me doesn't mind the cold/ but the Mexican part of me hates the cold very much...

[sgamerp]

well the surgery went well, but I am still not sure if I will be healed, and don't really want to re open my scars. Will keep you guys up to date.

Good to hear, man! :)

Hope you're well enough to join us, but make sure you don't push it.

Last thing you want is to re-injure it. :\

[Jukeshoe]

BTW, I'm in for sure at this point. I'll pay the entry fee thingy thing when I get up there. Jeff, you talkin' to Bill re: camping or should I contact him?

[ejvogie]

I can't make it. :wall:

Even if I'm not working, my wife is, so I'll have daddy duty all weekend.

[apdrvya]

Absolutely, TP, you should take the ferry across! :thmbup: Stevie too!

[tallpaul]

I was thinking the weekend was not open; as I'm busy this weekend and meeting up with hogenose on the last weekend. Perhaps I'll make a call in the next couple of days to see about my ferry "in" and see if it's possible. Would be great fun; but, it's doubtful.
