VFTT winter gathering 2010?

Dr Wu is right. Giggy can do anything.

In these challenging times, generous, dedicated man such as Giggy are a rare breed. Thanks for taking charge and please keep us up to date on your progress.

Way to go Gig! Sounds like an awesome party...i'm there.

Hey Shizz, someone put you on my ignore list, I just had to take you off. What's up with that?

im not sure what i am going to bring him,
was thinking snowshoes or microspikes......

moe? MLK? Oh man, I'm so there...thanks Leaf for getting Giggy to step up -
I bet he was an Eagle Scout.

So

what weekend is it going to be anyway? MLK Jan. 15-17 or the following? MLK sounds good to me. It's someone's birthday, after all. Reason enough.

Who's going to herd this flock of cats, anyway? How does one, if one were going to, reserve a site at Barnes? Hypothetical questions, of course.

You can't reserve sites at Barnes in the winter. In the winter, Barnes is per-person, first-come-first-served (as opposed to the summertime, when they take reservations and it's per-site).

giggy is organizing it and is going to clean up after everyone, too, so buy your beer outside of New Hampshire so he can cash in the bottles.

According to Wu's post above, Giggy can do anything, so this shouldn't be a problem.

Ah, that explains why there all those W's (walk-ins) on the ReserveAmerica site. So, Giggy, what weekend are you going to walk-in and get a site?

I'll make it simple and bring something SPIKED as my token of appreciation for organizing this event.

teejay, I'm going up MLK weekend....It's easier for me having off Monday. I can relax on Sunday without having to rush back 300 miles....

Mlk

weekend it is, then. January 15-18. I'll be there.

Ok - not sure who got the joke and who didn't. It was funny while it lasted for sure, but if anyone actually thinks I am organizing this - just a FYI - I am not. I am not driving up early friday to get any spots, etc...

I think 90% realize this was some joking going on here, but there was probably 10% that think I am organizing, paying for all food, and sites..

At best, I am tentaive for attending, never mind organizing.

does this mean you're not leading those Tom Field Willey hikes any more ?

i Need them for my 770 X 365 list

The other 90% should not lose faith, they'll soon learn what a terrific guy you are ... and you've managed to convince the top 10% with only 2,564 posts ...

Uh

Is there an official gift registry? Or, do we just bring weatherproof loot to Barnes Field? Southwest only has so much carry-on space and with guitars, amplifiers, etc. - it would much more convenient if there were an actual registry. Just saying...
