Beanfest - Spring 2010 April 23-25th

April 16-18

That's all i have so far. Well that and a couple theme ideas. One was a superhero theme. How fun would it be to go up Sheepshead dressed as your favorite superhero? Or a Cajun theme... the latter being mainly for the benefit of me making a big old pot o' jambalaya. Or, hell, how about both? Superhero theme with Cajun food back at the homestead?

Ah, poor choice of words to refer to campground. It will be on the west stronghold, Isle of Ewe campground.

Superhero theme sounds like a blast. It will certainly make for plenty of great photo ops on the rock!

I have a horse show on the 17th, so I won't be down until that evening. Save me some fried turkey. You are going to fry a turkey, right? I'll bring the 17 lbs. of pancake mix and 1/2 gallon of syrup I have left for another pancake feed on Sunday morning.

I'll be in Fiji that whole week, looks like the fall Beanfeast for me.

Fiji? Seriously? And I thought we were friends...

Well i've had several requests to move the dates up a weekend to the 5-7th. Any objections?

Do you mean the 9th-11th? Just as long as it's not Easter weekend (2nd-4th). I think we all remember how that went...

The later in the month, the better chance that it will be warm & sunny. :)

Michael: Try to keep up. ;) Daryl is the Beanmaster for Spring 2010 Beanfest.

Easter weekend is white-trash, quadster, trash-the-place, steal-your-firewood gathering time in the Stronghold.

John: Lucky duck!

Daryl: I vote we stick with 4/16-18. I now have clinics both of the previous weekends. :(

LOL

Yep, Brig, you always catch me at my best :)

I do remember reading the story about the firewood incident.

Any plans on having it on the East side of the Stronghold this year? Rockfellow and some of the surrounding domes are closed during this time, but there is still plenty of climbing to be had. If not this Spring, the Fall Beanfest 2010 should definitely be back on the East side!

Sounds like we have a volunteer for fall Beanmaster. :-)

Any new info on the date?

I might make this one. Really Brigette ::)) I'll have to have you set up a TR for me.

Is there anything a first-time Beanfester should know and/or bring? I've been the the Isle of Ewe before and I have a rough understanding of the beaning, but anything else?

So have we selected the weekend yet that this is going to be held?
