***Gorge 2010*** Labor Day Weekend

[Steady37]

So cool! I can't wait to hear all about it!

I was trying to do a half in March but I got injured. Actually I got injured 3 times so far.....so now I am hoping to do one in the fall up here.

I just joined a running group, and I am already learning alot. I'm finding out how fun 'speedwork' is.....NOT!

Great group though. All levels. At least I'm not the only 'newbie' :lol

Hey do you have a garmin? I think I need one. Just have the Nike+ thing and it's not cutting it....

i haven't joined a running group...i probably should tho. i know i could learn so much more, and maybe do it right if i did...:lol i don't have a garmin. i have a watch that calculates distance, time, calories, laps, whatever, it's awesome. http://www.amazon.com/Timex-Ironman-Triathlon-Fitness-Tracker/dp/B0013HUM6Q/ref=sr_1_41?ie=UTF8&s=watches&qid=1276216085&sr=8-41

[lilannie]

for reals. i hear ya sister! i have been trying to get into school...but i really have no idea if i would get enough financial aid to go. it's a full time program that is best if you DON'T work at all. so i would need aid not only for school, but for living expenses while i'm in school... :shrugThat's where I am at too. There is a program here at Sac State, but I would have to quit work in order to go. It would cost me less, but then we wouldn't have my income. With my daughter being in college and wanting to transfer to Davis soon, it is just one more huge thing standing in my way.

It's hard because I was 1 year through my grad program the first time around, but I left halfway through. Going through a bad relationship thing at the time that had me bailing in a panic. Leaving the relationship was a good thing. School, perhaps not so much. Oh well......such is life!

I got up to 10 miles before I got slammed with problems. It was a huge bummer to miss my half, but I tried to look at it as a learning opportunity.

I had to step back and start all over again. Getting injured sucks! But I am doing okay now and taking it slowww......:D

Oh that looks good. I will check those out. Seems like most of the garmins are between $2-300. Yikes!

[lilannie]

live and learn right? :lol :lolStory of my life right now seems to be learning the hard way. :shrug:confused:lol

[lilannie]

Oh and we just started running hills too!!!!! I was dead the other day. :lol

yeah...i didn't want anything that expensive...i just wanted something to calculate my distance and time and stuff, and this watch does that. i didn't feel the need for a heart rate monitor when that function made it cost a couple hundo more...i can calculate my own heart rate thank you very much, and i know when i'm working out if i'm good to go or not. not to mention i don't want some annoying chest strap around me while i'm running. this watch just has a little transmitter that clips to my pants, and i don't feel it at all. it's super light and not annoying.

that sucks that you got injured and had to miss your race, i'm so scared of that happening to me. but i'm doing what i can to prevent it...lots of stretching. lots of yoga, and i'm not running EVERY day even tho i want to. :lol :lol

[Steady37]

Oh and we just started running hills too!!!!! I was dead the other day. :lol

oh i have no choice in the matter there unless i hit the treadmill...it's all hills where i live. my long run i did on vashon island was more hills that i have ever encountered...there was one stretch that was uphill for like 2.5 straight miles. it was hell. but i did it. that was the first time my shins actually hurt after a run, and my calves. damn hills! :lol

have you checked out the app on the new balance facebook page? called map mate? you can map routes, look at other peoples routes, do elevation evaluations of your routes and everything. it's super cool.

[ruggr4]

Why isn't alcohol calorie free dammit?!!! :lorraine

I ask myself this on a daily basis. :freak:shrug

I definitely need something. I know the Nike thing is limited. It's really just a glorified pedometer and seems to be lacking a little in accuracy. I found out last week at my running group it said I had actually run less than the person next to me doing the same mileage with a garmin. It wasn't terribly off, but now I know it isn't exactly accurate either.

Oh you will be fine! It sounds like you started off at a good pace mile wise. I started out slow too, but since I didn't have as much time before my race and I was feeling anxious, I ramped it up a little too quickly.

Yoga and stretching are the best! I do piloga ( pilates + yoga ) too on my off days plus a weight training class on the weekends and sometimes a balletone class. I think all those things are so helpful.

Plus your bod is way younger than mine!:lol

it is a bit challenging to get the watch calibrated so it's accurate, i haven't quite figured that out yet...so my distance is off a bit too. :lol gotta get with the man to figure out wtf is up with it.

i think i'm pretty slow...i'm about 10 min/mi. but i'm ok with that. after the race i'll probably work on figuring out how to go faster. maybe join a running group to get some pointers.

i wish my gym offered more classes like that...the yoga i do is on my living room floor. i have downloaded some videos and do it that way. i'll have to see if i can download piloga, do you need equipment for that?

[lilannie]

I have used mapmyride.com before and it seems pretty good. I have a few favorite runs that I like to do.

With this group we run on the track every Tues night and it's considered the 'hard' run, hence the hills the other night near the track after we did some relays for speed.

Tonight is more of a longer run but at an easier pace. Sundays is the 'long' run.

Cool on your hills. That Hayes St hill at B2B was brutal enough. It seemed to go on forever...... I barely made it to the top! Loved that downhill though! :D

[lilannie]

that sounds great, bet it's nice to have people to do it with...i've been running solo this whole time. a running group might be just what i need. some competition, motivation, and people to bitch with! :lol

well, it's close enough to 6 for me, so i'm getting the phuk out of here. have a great night, a great run, and i'll talk to ya later :D

But right now, even doing that for a considerable distance is enough right now it seems, but I liked that they push you just a little more each time. That really helps me out.

No you don't need any equipment. They just combine pilates and yoga poses. The pilates strengthens the core and the yoga does too of course but also incorporates stretching/ relaxing at the end. I love it. I am not a flexible person by nature, but I have gotten more that way over time.

[G-Love]

Hello, Loves...CAN'T WAIT!!!!! :D SPAC was a great start to my tour...GORGE will be a perfect ending...

[lilannie]

Hope everyone is doing well tonight. ;)

[whodat]

Well enough to make a rare appearance not only on Ants, but in the Gorge thread. How you be Lil Annie?

[lilannie]

What is up seat buddy? :)

[whodat]

Glad to hear you are doing well. I am hanging in there. Just hacking around Ants for the first time in forever. Now that I am working again and can't post from work, my time here is very limited. Getting excited for the your tour stops yet?

[lilannie]

I liked your Toupstown video. That was very cool and sweet. Especially the Proudest Monkey part. That brought a little tear to my eye. :)

[whodat]

Thanks. It was fun to do. Did Mr. Scott post that anywhere on here, or just over on FB?

[lilannie]

Getting excited for the your tour stops yet?Yeah that job thing can really mess with your social life here. I've hardly been here at all lately either, but I chatted it up a little today. Poor April. I think her ears are now burning. Hmm...maybe I was rambling just a little.....:lol

[lilannie]

Thanks. It was fun to do. Did Mr. Scott post that anywhere on here, or just over on FB?I just saw it on FB, Not sure if it is here anywhere.

I am getting excited for shows. Let's see how many more days...?????

[whodat]

I am sure April loved having someone other a boy to chat with, and I am sure you liked hanging in the thread again. A bad in the thread is still better then a good day at work. Right? ;)

Noticed the FB post this morning. Very cool to see it. Not sure how many days until my shows. Haven't really had much time to think about it. Probably better that way. Or not.

Hate to chat and run, but I need to get heading to bed. This old man is wiped out and 4:30 comes real quick. Great chatting with you again. I will try and not be too much of a stranger. Promise.

[ExperienceJones]

I should be rolling into the Gorge campground in about 12 hours. I'll be sure to update anyone on any changes with anything as soon as I get back on Ants, prob MOnday morning at work, hahah.

ghey.

is that really a long term viable business prospect? i mean...there's probably enough hype at this point...but who the f is gunna give two shits about that in a couple years? not enough to make a theme park profitable i wouldn't think.

but maybe i'm underestimating the power of the nerd in this situation.

I guess the same can be said about a cartoon mouse and a whale named Shamu...

who the hell knows but I agree with you. I have seen the movies but never have cracked a Harry Potter book. I have heard adults who love the books as much as kids....kinda creepy.

if you want to pay out your a$$ check ticketsnow.com they have pit passes. retarded prices...but they have them.

[myersk27]

i saw they have some there, i'm not opposed to paying for the ticket, i am just now extremely cautious about buying tickets from a site like that.....just not sure if they are guaranteed to be hard tickets and not e-tickets that can be manipulated

I got last years jones beach dave tix and the year before oasis from ticketliquidator.com....both worked fine :)

[myersk27]

thanks for the tip! do you usually get e-tickets or regular tickets from them?

[lilannie]

Hey gang!

[cblues]

thanks for the tip! do you usually get e-tickets or regular tickets from them?

The oasis tix were hard tix, dave was digital. My company uses this company as our ticket broker when they have to get big expensive seats. And when average joe's like me buy them i go through there website. I can give you the # and person i deal with there if you feel more comfortable that way.

[cblues]

thanks for the tip! do you usually get e-tickets or regular tickets from them?

Also, when i did get the hard tickets, i gave them my cc info, they charged me and i had the tickets in 2 days via fedex :) I felt comfortable because i had ordered and received so many before for my boss.

[avsfan]

sup gorge. its finally getting close. before we know it ill be drunk with many of you and calling you by the wrong names:D

okay tell us everything about Petty at the Gorge well the important things like the stage?? and the new camping

also morning dude

[Steady37]

morning folks

hey cody, how was the weekend? saw some pics, looks like we still have a glad bag issue on the stage :shrug

[ExperienceJones]

okay tell us everything about Petty at the Gorge well the important things like the stage?? and the new camping

also morning dude

Petty was solid as usual, great shows. He has a great new Reggae-ish song called Don't Pull me Over, I suggest everyone check it out. One of the highlights of the weekend.

The stage is definitely glad bag wrapped and you can count on it being that way for dmb. It's a new permanent part of the stage. It really didn't hinder the view all that much from the Lawn on N1. It would have been cooler to see the cliff and plateau behind Petty from the lawn on N1 but oh well I guess. N2 we were in reserved seats so it didn't really do much other than block the sky behind the stage. Unfortunately the glad bags are here to stay. Plus there's a huge THE GORGE AMPHITHEATRE sign on top of the stage in case you forget where you are...

Camping was about the same, pretty standard. Regular cost 65, premiere was 110, and terraced was 210. I asked the lady at the gate what Terraced was all about and she pretty much laughed and said anyone who buys that is a complete moron. As you walk into the venue on the path from the campground theres that little house to your right, well that's where they dug out a couple of rows for camping. It pretty much looks like they people in there were camping in dirt paths anyway. I would highly discourage anyone from buying terraced. We did regular camping like we normally do and it was what I expected.

The weekend was great though, perfect weather, perfect shows. Solid all around. Beers are now 9 dollars for 16 ounce cans and 12 for 24 ounce cans. Sneaking in a camel pack full of 7&7 is the way to go.

[Steady37]

boooooooo to the glad bags!

[groton]

yeah boo to the Glad Bags

but sounds like you had a great time Cody :D

[ExperienceJones]

I am struggling this morning though, feeling like crap.

[Steady37]

the recovery period is always rough :lol :lol last year i got a 'talking to' after gorge... :lol :lol

[ExperienceJones]

Really? What'd the talkin' to entail?

[Steady37]

ya know...quit being tired and grumpy, the first day was understandable, but after that you gotta act right and be happy to be at work. what the f ever you annoying ass people.

Kinda like the Eifel tower.

2nd guy is going doggie style.
Guys high five to form the Eifel Tower...I know Lame sauce.

[DuckFan]

Hey Cody. Made a change to Hornings. There will no longer be a 3.5 year old in attendance. Alisa thought it would be cool to try the hippie mom thing but as we thought it more and more, did not want to play mom and dad the whole weekend. so no kiddo.

it's sorta hidding


as for John Popper

well He told the wrong people he wanted to guest they told him dmb was having no guest at Roo.

so he and the rest of BT left to head to there next show.

then Danny guested and he started tweeting about how upset and betrayed he felt.

I tweeted him to talk to Fonz.

then he kept rambling said something to me and a few others to talk to fonz for him :lol

plus a bunch of other stuff.

fonz got on tweeter and basically said that he nor any other band member even knew BT was playing Roo.

had they known John Popper probably would of guested

so he and the rest of BT left to head to there next show.

then Danny guested and he started tweeting about how upset and betrayed he felt.

I tweeted him to talk to Fonz.

then he kept rambling said something to me and a few others to talk to fonz for him :lol

plus a bunch of other stuff.

fonz got on tweeter and basically said that he nor any other band member even knew BT was playing Roo.

had they known John Popper probably would of guested

So much drama in the LBC...i mean DMBc

Welcome to the Gorge! Go to toupstown.com it will have all the Gorge 411 you'll need for a first timer and sign up for the contact sheet and then you will get filled in on what meet ups are going on and what not. I made my first trip last year and I'll never miss it again:D

I just stupidly organized! I'm a Front Office Manager at a large City Hotel here in Philly so I have to be organized! It's more for myself so I can keep tabs on everyone and their deposits, phone numbers, ants name, email address, and I had to get an itinerary together for the bus company and fax it over to them of where we are stopping and times at each stop, nothing big. Ill be the one at the front of the bus with my clip board and mega-phone in hand! :p

You don't HAVE to fill out the form at toupstown, its more for the community to see who is going to the gorge and where folks are staying and where they are sitting. It's up to you!!!

Plenty of ice and water and it is not that spartan.

There are people who camp at the gorge and all they bring is drinks. They live off of Shakedown street. Not the way I roll but to each their own.

You can also leave and head into Quincy if you need anything bigger (i.e. grocery shopping).

Sheriffs were out in force in the campground too. I didn't get hassled at all but a small family of four got busted for smoking a joint around their campsite. Two 60 year old parents and their son and his gf who had to be at least 24 each at the youngest. They handcuffed the son and paraded him around the campsite to make a point that they were there. Plus it took 6....yes 6...sheriffs to do this. Total nonsense.

Yet another benefit to camping in premier. I saw no LE in Premier last year.
Only did I leave the comforts of the high fenced paradise did I see Harris Counties finest doing what they do...beaking necks and cashing checks.

Hi! See you're from NY too. Did you book your flight to Gorge yet? I'm working on that now and there sooo pricey. Just wondering if anyone from our area had any better luck. Thanks :)

What's the new gig?

[Steady37]

What's the new gig?

It's a full charge bookkeeping position at Encore Media Group. I would be the accounting department. So, same kind of stuff I'm doing now...but at least in a company in the creative arts industry which will help with networking in that field (which is what I'm working on getting into school for). It's way far away from home, so I'd have a significant commute, but I gave them a salary requirement of more than I'm currently making (and more than enough to make up for the gas expenses) so it would be worth it. AND i wouldn't be in the car business anymore...yahoo!
