The Bash Cometh 11/21

From: Matt Kaufmann
-----------


Hoofers! Yes, The Bash Cometh sooner than you would expect. It is happening this Saturday evening! The event of November that everybody has been waiting for. The event that is the final push through the end of the Fall Semester. The event you do not want to miss out on because all the cool kids are doing it. The event that requires no previous experience and is open to your non-Hoofer friends who wish to still prove their coolness factor.

But you should not delay any longer and sign up at Tuesday's meeting! I know, I know... some of you can not come to the Tuesday meeting. I know, I know... some of you have commitment issues (don't we all?!) and are not ready to commit to an event that is happening this Saturday night regardless of river levels, barometric pressure, Hoofer ratings, wind direction and other weather factors, driver availability (the Wonder Wagon has us covered!), participant numbers,... or you are waiting for something better to come up and occupy your Saturday night. Let me just give it to you straight, you are a lost Hoofer if you do not come to The Bash happening this Saturday night. Bring yourself and a friend!

If you can not make it to the Hoofer meeting at 7pm Tuesday or if you have commitment issues, drop me an email to reserve your spot. So yes, day of show ups are welcome pretty much because you need to be at the event of November! Or be a trooper and commit to going to The Bash at Tuesday's meeting. If you do neither of the previous options, go back two spaces and lose your turn and then just show up Saturday night at 7:30pm in the Hoofer Lounge. Cost is $12 cash!

Here it is.... the day fast approaching. The Hoofer Outing Club will be taking over Boulders Climbing Gym on the evening of Saturday, November 21, 2009 for The Boulder Bash. This will be the event of November! And from now on, it shall be referred to as The Bash! This year's theme is Retro. Costumes are of course highly encouraged.

Who is invited?
-Climbing fools and climbing wannabes. Beginners are welcome! No experience required. If you are getting this email, you are invited. Your non-Hoofer friends are also invited and will then be convinced to join the club!

How much will the trip cost?
-The Bash will cost $12 (CASH, please!) which must be payed at the time of sign up.

How do you sign up for this event?
-Sign up will be in person AFTER the Tuesday evening Hoofer Outing Club meeting at 7pm in the Hoofer Lounge (the dates of the next meeting is 11/17). You must pay $12 CASH at this time. Sign up will also include signing your life away on a Boulders Climbing Gym waiver. [Exceptions to in-person sign up will be kept to an absolute minimum... ie, you are currently doing an internship in Brussels, Belgium and therefore can not make it to the meeting. Such an excuse will of course be permissible].

Here is what is going down...
We will be gathering at 7:30 pm on Saturday, 11/21 in the Hoofer Lounge and making sure all climbing fools are accounted for. Car rides will be arranged to the gym (this pretty much involves finding an open car seat and meeting some new people). If you are able to drive, park your car in Park Street Circle (PSC) with the flashers on. We should arrive at the gym at 8 pm. All necessary gear will be provided. Food will also be present in the form of a sandwich bar, various snacking items and beverages. You provide an awesome climbing attitude, a costume fitting to this year's theme of Retro. The first hour or so at the Gym will involve getting beginners on the ropes. People are also more than welcome to just Boulder. The rest of the evening will be spent having a good time! And the good time will have to end at the gym around 11:30ish.

The trip is open to the first [insert a somewhat arbitrary number here] people that sign up. No climbing experience is needed. You do not want to be left out! Sign up Tuesday!

It's gonna be epic.
