Headed to The Meeting this past weekend; the event brings media, athletes and filmmakers together for an open forum in Aspen, Colorado. Teton Gravity Research, Matchstick Productions, Level 1, Poor Boyz and others all premiered new movies to sold out crowds.
I believe it was the 5th consecutive year that we’ve made the trek up for the occasion; and frankly, it’s one of my favorite weekends of the year. This go-round we enjoyed fantastic films, wild parties, great weather, the finest lodging, wondrous artwork, scrumptious food and of course, the company of the most bestest friends.
Check out the Freeskier Story if you’d like to hear more about it.
Couple of pics below, and also found some shots from the marathon; more to come.
P.s. It’s not too late to donate $ to Shay!

Big ups to International Smooth Pimp/Dude Rancher Shay Williams who completed his first marathon today! Shay ran the Boulder Backroads Marathon to help raise money for our pal Riley!
Shay was overcome with joy when he arrived at the finish. He endured scorching heat and strong winds; he had the following to say about his accomplishment: “That was hardest thing I’ve ever had to do in my life, mentally and physically. At the seven-mile-checkpoint, I thought to myself… oh God, what have I gotten myself into?”
Shay also noted, “I cried a few times. I love to run, but marathons are not for me. I’m glad I did this one for Riley though, now I can join less than 1% of Americans who can say ‘I ran a marathon’.”
Shay busted his balls this morning, and I encourage you to make a donation to his cause!
Congratulations Shay, we are proud of you.
Shay flaunts his new medal.
This is what the finish line looked like.
It’s official: We’ve taken crappy care of our kitchen and we’re now paying the price, of dealing with mice.
They’ve chewed their way through a great deal of wood, and are currently enjoying a vast network that links the space underneath our floor to the food pantry, various cabinets and also our storage closet.
Did you know that rodents are responsible for more than 1 Billion USD in damage each year in the US alone?!
Tyler reached for a box of rice crackers the other day and was quite startled to see that his crackers had been consumed, not by Willis (the usual culprit), but instead by a good-for-nothing vermin (see below). We disposed of him, and have now vamped up our efforts to eradicate the whole bunch.
Our kill count is currently up to 4.
Despite our efforts, we fear what may lay ahead. After all, mice are prolific breeders. It could be just a matter of time before the pink, hairless, crawling and squealing babies grow to adult size and come storming into the kitchen for a taste of what’s been left out.
Wikipedia informs us that “mice travel over their entire territory daily, investigating each change or new object that may be placed there.” Keeping this in mind, we will continue to strategically place our traps, and hope that the mice feel extra investigatory.
Tyler won’t be having any crackers today.
Our first kill-by-trap: laid out on the patio as a warning to all others who dare tread here.
He must have been investigating this new object in his territory.
Swine Flu is all the talk on campus as of late. Rumors are flying that school might close for the semester if things get too out of hand. Even the CU Wardenburg Health Clinic has advised students who fear they’ve contracted the virus to stay away (as a visit to the doctor puts more students and faculty at risk).
Our roommate Tyler exhibited flu symptoms today, and we fear the worst.
For now, I’ve locked myself in my basement and made it very clear that H1N1 is not welcome here.
Our summer league hockey team, The X-Men, won the championship for the third year running.
We went home with a sweet trophy and brand spankin’ new t-shirts that we can show off in class.
