PNW Pray for Snow Party...?? was created by juan
Hey, I'm kinda new to these parts, last year was my first season up here, and I'm thinking I was quite remiss in not having a pray for snow party/bonfire fiesta. I hope that was not one of the causes of the less-than-stellar season last year.<br><br>Anyhow, just wondering if this is a tradition in these parts, as it always was in the many years I called the rockies my home. If so, when and where?<br><br>If not, well its time to start a new PNW tradition. Maybe a bonfire party down at golden gardens some evening where we can make a sacrifice to the snow gods.<br><br>Come on people, lets get the good vibes brewing.

Sounds like a good idea! So what would be the appropriate "thing" to sacrifice? ???

well....lots of readers but few posters, not sure what that means. <br><br>as far as an appropriate sacrifice, i've done skis in the past but i've been told that burning the plastric laminate is less-than-good for the lungs and atmosphere. i've got some wooden skis, but i like them too much to burn. we may have to resort to sacrificing lots of wood and a portion of our livers. ;)

I think theres a lot o lurkers on the site (myself included). ;)<br>I don't have any skis to sacrifice but I'd be game for having another pub gathering like the one that Ron and others threw together a couple weeks ago.<br>Hoping that all the usual early season destinations will be ready to go in just a few more weeks.

I'm always up for a pub gathering as well.<br>Ideally something larger than the last place we were at. Thanks to Robie (who got there like a half hour early) we kinda lucked out and got the largest of about 5 tables in the place. <br>

i'd be up for a pub night. i missed the last one as i was out of town! if anything, it shows more trust in the snow gods than a bonfire, which implies dry warmish weather, the opposite of what we seek :)

Only question is when and where? Another opportunity for a few beers is a good idea! 8)

If you guys want to sacrifice your livers then I'm just the guy you need to see. Turns out I run a bar down town.612 Stewart, it's called the Yakima Grill. So this sunday night the 21st I will be doing happy hour price on beer for any one who mentions t-a-y and I'll even supply some munchies. hope to see you all there.(I knew you guys would do it on a weekend again and this is the only way I could go.)<br><br>Stefan <br>

Wow, that's pretty generous, Stefan.<br>I see no reason to give business to outsiders when we have a proprietor of a libation establishment right in our own midst.  Very cool.<br>Unfortunately for me, I already have committed to hiking plans for Sunday and don't know how the timing is going to work out as far as making it to downtown Seattle Sunday night, but I WILL be there if it can be done.<br>Thanks, again for providing us a venue, sag.

I'm sorry to have missed another one of these gatherings - I was on a family camping trip and didn't check the TRs for 3 days, so I didn't even know about it until too late. Stefan, thanks for hosting the party.<br><br>I have to say that, weather-wise, it looks like the party was a failure, with endless days of perfect sunny fall weather forecast. As ema suggested, maybe a new approach is needed? How about a carwash/volleyball/BBQ party at Alki beach the next time clouds are forecast?

Yeah, I missed it too. Was just too dirty, too tired, and it was too far out of the way after Sunday's activities.<br>So, Corey, it looks like you made it. What's Stefan's place like? <br>From the looks of their web site it looks like it would be a great place to stop off for a brewski and a snack after a mounties activity, eh?

OK folks, I know you've all been patiently awaiting the announcement for the PNW pray for snow party.<br><br>Tentatively (fairly sure) scheduled for Saturday, Novemner 15th, 9PM. Bonfire party at Golden Gardens park. Come pray and make a sacrifice to Urll or Jah or Sasquatch, or whoever can make it dump lots of cold, fluffy pow pow this upcomng season.<br><br>Palates and fire provided, and maybe a keg in the back of my truck if that doesn't seem to risky with the 5-0. Buried beacons around the beach for some moonlight, altered beacon practice. <br><br>You bring something to sacrifice to the snow gods...something meaningful and respectful of our large request (one piece ski suits are encouraged, but nothing plastic). Bring friends...lets make it a good one.<br><br>Cheers
