Well, in my case, I don't know if "showing off" is the proper term.

Spoiler:

Due to an excess of Arrogant Bastard Ale combined with the altitude, I dropped trou by the campfire. Twice from what I understand.

And we should be surprised why?

I too would like to express my thanks to iSM and NA (and anyone else who worked on the planning) for all that they did. I enjoyed myself tremendously (besides Saturday night ) and I appreciate all that you did to make this a success.

And while all of the meals were most excellent, I put a personal shout-out to Captain Jack and Katiesue for a most yummy huevos rancheros. I ended up eating WAY too much of their breakfast!

And some quick highlights:

1. Lisa has an inner lesbian that came out on Saturday. Not by action, but by dress (c'mon: Lisa in jeans, a flannel shirt, an orange vest and a baseball cap).
2. We have a new word to add to the Lexicon of Swank: Lodgepole.
3. If €uromeinke ever wants a sure thing, just take NA to the circle of Sequoia's.

Kevin, I don't believe for a second that the Ale had anything to do with it.

Well, to be fair, Susan's Pterodactyl hiccups are atomic - they can often be heard through sound barriers. However, whenever you hear one, it means the party has started.
