I also picked up 40 crusty dinner rolls while at BJs this afternoon. Sooooo...
I'm in for about $60 for the guac, chips, coffee and rolls. I'll put a donations jar by the coffee maker in the morning. If you enjoyed any of the above, feel free to drop a buck in to help defray some of the cost.
There should be plenty O' pig, we have 68lbs of it. Can't wait, I'll be there around 4-5 ish. Man is it a long way from N. Conway.Quote:

Pig should be arriving around 5-6pm tomorrow evening. I'll swing through on my way to our other catering gig. I hope to swing back through around 10pm but can't make any promises.
If you have the pot i have your heat source covered with the same stove we used last year.Quote:

Bummer 4 sure, lookin to talk bikes while everyone watches baseball. Headed to Ascutney soon for teh best riding in VT. should make it around 4-5.
Great to spend the day with you and Dowork! We made a huge dent expanding Voo doo glades. Those of you skiing Magic this year give Dowork huge high fives and buy him a few brews at the bar. He was put in a shit ton of work there. Stoked to rip that line this year. :yourock:Quote:

Wish I could be joining you all at Ullrfest. Party like rock stars. Be safe. Enjoy. :party:
I just realized I didn't bring a knife to slice the bacon. Will someone have a good knife, or do I need to stop and get one along the way?
I'll see what I sneak out of the house...Quote:

Great. thanks!Quote:

If anybody knows what happened to the canopies and the 6 foot plastic table I brought, post it up please. Went over to collect them late this AM and they were nowhere in sight. Thnx.
Stayalert and I put them inside down by the ticket windows.Quote:

is what happened when this:
Attachment 142624
failed to stop while I was waiting for someone to turn left into the Aubuchon Hardware outside of Manchester. I had that horrible experience of watching it in my rearview mirror for a couple of seconds as it didn't even slow down before slamming into me. The kid driving it said his brakes weren't very good (doh!). Cop didn't cite him for anything; apparently it's okay in VT to drive around in a 3.5 ton monster truck without a bumper. And it apparently isn't any big deal to be driving around with absolutely no ID, no registration, no insurance card. Fortunately I wasn't hurt and my car's frame wasn't bent. Walked across the street to the hardware store, bought a bungie cord, secured the trunk and made it home okay. Insurance adjuster will be coming out some time tomorrow, but I have the feeling that this incident is going to end up costing me some $$$ I don't really have before it's through.
^^ Bummer. Just glad nobody was hurt. Shouldn't cost you any gelt if a cop was on the scene and filed a report. Try to get the police report number, if you haven't already. It was clearly not your fault (hit in the ass never is) but the report may smooth the process.
^^^my neighbor came by to press cider this afternoon after apparently passing your wreck and told me about some redneck local that slammed into an out of stater. I'm totally bummed to hear it was you GA.
Ullrfest did not disappoint.
CaptainAwesome = awesome for bringing 5 kegs!
My Pet Power Goat = actually smells a bit like goat :wink:
Neufox = guaranteed piggy goodness
GetAmped = amped up the party with 300,000 songs
DoWork = DidWork and pulled it all together
It was great meeting everyone else as well. I tried all five beers and did a jager-luge. What else could one hope for?
Canopies - recoveredQuote:

PM on its way to link up for a return
I also recovered a green folding chair that wasn't mine but was woth the rest of the stuff. PM me if you're missiing one.
Bummed about GetAmped's mishap. Sorry I bailed too early to link up with Peruvian...thanks for the awesome swine.
Good times last night and this morning with many EC Mags! Props to DoWork and crew for pulling off a great Ullrfest at Magic. It was perfect weather, amazing food and a solid core crew who pooled talents and resources to make it such a success.
The party got off on a great start, relocating on the ski slope in front of the bar. (Jim Sullivan was stoked to see the TGR gang and said he'd love to host this event on a regular basis.)

It was great meeting many new mags... props to GetAmped for the great tunes, Peruvian for roasting the pig, MNISAW for the tents and Capt. Awesome for the amazing bacon and beer, and to everyone chipped in to pull off a great event.
It was great to finally meet some of you guys...wish I could have stayed longer. Looking forward to next year already.
Awesome meeting so many EC mags for the first time, and reconnecting with others.
Who was there in a VT Subee with the 10th Mountain Division sticker in the window?

What a great fest!!
Many thanks, again, to all those whose hard work made it awesome! Now let it snow!
That was a blast!
The chili was ridiculous -even more so when amped up a bit with that Jolokia sauce. Actually, all the food was good.
Fortunately, the ice luge was a bit less deadly than last year, and relatively free of insect larvae, but it took a little while to get the right-sized pour dialed in. I think I almost saw someone drown on one of those "shots".
There was some good local lore being passed of as fact, too. Can we get confirmation of which porno flick was allegedly shot at the lodge? Or find out about Steven Tyler playing a show there back before he was in Aerosmith?
It was cool to see everyone. I definitely have to get up to Magic this winter at some point, and when I do, I'll keep an eye out.
THANK YOU MNIAW!!! Quick meet this AM to retrieve coats that I left (No, not the result of any no pants dance with 6' Asian Women.......)
That picture of the top secret recipe for the cider is excellent! Great food great fun....Super stocked for WINTER!!!!
Thanks to all for the epic grub and drinks, good tunes, and fire making. I'm still in a post-coital stupor from the bacon-induced taste bud orgasms Sunday morning.
After people started hitting the road on Sunday I hiked up Magic to scope out the new tree shot that DoWork and Co. have been working on. Fucking spectacular stuff! Easily the longest tree run on the hill, pushing 1,000 feet of vert. It's a mix of quintessential VT hardwood sections and steep Hemlock zones. Gotta hand it to those guys for crafting a work of art in there. Ordered my pass today... Looking forward to adding some Magic storm skiing days to the books this winter.

Looks like a blast, bummed I couldn't make it.
I blame Ullrfest for not being able to watch the Sox yesterday. Cpuldnt stay awake... Great time everyone!
Blaming ullr for over consumption of pig, followed by food coma? Come on rook...
I can handle the pig, but trying to make sure Captain Awesome didn't have to lug home partially full kegs did me in.
^ Ha ha... what self respecting maggot could leave such great beer alone or go to possible waste?!
FTR, ISBD came through and made his semi-annual sacrifice to Ullr. It sounds like GetAmped did the same (but with his car), so we owe these two a special thank you when the 20 or more storms dump feet of goodness on our favorite runs this season...Quote:
