No but we should
Northeast Monkeyfest 2009
- Thread starter BadDNA
- Start date
Actually, we did one year but they said "Bonjour, je m'appelle..." :biggrin:
Send us some PNW beer, anyway.I can't...already have plans that weekend.lthumbsdown: You'll have to represent for the 575.
Although I am sure we'll be drowning in BadDNA homebrew and offerings from Troegs Boy.
Meh, we all know each other by now. Let the Monkeyfest newbies figure it out on their own. It'll be a good initiation for them. We could test them. Get a name wrong, chug a beer.
You should have seen what I had to do to find out IAB's real name.
I never thought I'd see a jar of mayo, a snow shovel, a spool of yarn and a lighter get used together like that.

What about you there slacker. I hear you've got quite a pile of beer to brew now.Send us some PNW beer, anyway.

Waiting on that WORT CHILLER.
I plan on having three batches done by then: DIPA, barleywine, and bourbon porter.
Nice! I have certainly enjoyed sampling all the homebrews in the past.Waiting on that WORT CHILLER.

Get it right, chug 2 beersMeh, we all know each other by now. Let the Monkeyfest newbies figure it out on their own. It'll be a good initiation for them. We could test them. Get a name wrong, chug a beer.
First, let me say that there are a few of us who are supposed to go Great Glen, too... so, I am just putting it out there that July would be preferable for me & Mark. That said, I know it'll never be perfect for everyone's schedules, so I guess I'll just have to deal if July doesn't happen.
I also have a group where vaca time is 1st come/1st serve, so the earlier the better for me as well.
I didn't know anyone before last year's monkeyfest - now that I think about it, no one seemed to care that I didn't know their names. Especially with the massive amounts of alcoholic beverages consumed during that weekend, I'm surprised I even recognized any of you afterward! (Ahem, IAB)Meh, we all know each other by now.

I was kind of hoping it would be the first weekend in August again. The traditional last-weekend of July is out for me. The Troegs band is playing in a battle of the brewery bands hosted by Stoudts and I've been tapped to sing and play tin whistle for
Ask anybody who has been during MF and outside of MF...it's more fun when we're there.
That weekend's usually better for us too. I asked for the availability for all of July and August so we'll see what he comes back with.
Unfortunately, I think 24HofGG is the first weekend of August... but as I said before, if we have to miss this MF I guess we'll jsut have to suffer. Too bad we had to miss fall MF last year too!
BTW, BikeGeek, correct me if I'm wrong, but I met you at spring MF last year, didn't I? I didn't know you played the tin whistle... maybe you could bring it to MF too???? We could have a little MF jam session!
I wonder how I would get there this time if I decide to go...
Hrmmmm
Hrmmmm
You flew into Deyvland last time, right?I wonder how I would get there this time if I decide to go...
Hrmmmm
I did. Have not seen them in a few years actually
I want to make it this year pretty bad. Once dates are final I will try to figure something out!
My preference too.
too....
August, I believe. No one really knew I played until my sister blabbed to some guys at the brewery and they stuck me onstage for Poi Dog Pondering's
BotBB sounds like something I should make a trip to PA for!
If you fly into Albany, you definitely have a place to stay and a ride to the fest with us!!! We'd be honored to host you (and if you come a day or two early or stay later, you can ride our local trails as well).I wonder how I would get there this time if I decide to go...
Hrmmmm
Yeah, we usually end up doing 2 of them. Hopefully you'll be able to make it to one of them...it's definitely a good time.
Geeze, I never even realized that MF 2008 & 24HoGG were only one week apart last year... really? Wow - I can't believe I did them both! I still can't believe that I did two trips like that in a row - something doesn't seem right. Oh well, I guess, I really lucked out on the dates!
I'm in! Right now my only commitment is 24 Hours of Great Glen which is August 8-9 so any other weekend is fine with me. Oh and I might PA Jul 11-12.
Last year there was a week in between them...they weren't back to back. I was referring to 2 monkeyfests (summer & fall)
Yea, they were back to back last year. It went Bikefest July 25-27, MF Aug 1-3, and 24 HoGG Aug 8-10.Last year there was a week in between them...they weren't back to back. I was referring to 2 monkeyfests (summer & fall)
Please make sure that MF doesn't collide with Bikefest or GG.
I'll go if Heidi and Squeak go!
You would go anyway!
Trying to work stuff out now vacation wise. I have two weddings to go too (both in Hawaii, WTF?) and a trip to Ontario.
I hope I have enough vaca
I think TreeSaw just needs to pick a weekend based on lodge availability and roll with it. No matter what the dates are, some people are going to have scheduling conflicts. MBC and I are going to miss it if it lands on a certain weekend, but you can't please everyone.
Sorry - I was only thinking out loud with the post above... I traveled so much last year I guess I didn't realize all the stuff I was doing!

And, again, my brain no work right - GG is the 2nd weekend of Aug isn't it? Thanks Woodsguy - I totally forgot... was thinking 1st.
Also, I totally agree with you too, IAB - I have no delusions that we are going to find the perfect weekend where no one has any commitments and everyone is available for MF... and I know TreeSaw does a lot of work to make this happen every year.
In... I'm sure the date won't matter much to me. I am pretty flexible during the summer.
I may be in for a day of riding this year. A donation of a case of beer and I'm in, right?:biggrin:
