“Yeah. I'm seeing it for the 4th year in the row at Lehigh Univ.
Its on March 10, the weekend you guys are going to be on the AT.

I look forward to it every year!!!”

“cool for you!”

“thanks for reminding me of this. I went a couple of years ago and loved it. To see if it is showing near you go to: http://www.banffcentre.ab.ca/CMC/film_tourall.html”

“Adventurist -- what time is it, at Lehigh? And any idea how long it is?”

“Its a new year with a new tour!”

“see?”

“any other PA peeps going to see this in Bethlehem on Sunday? Anyone? Anyone?

It's a must-see! My boy is working, so I need a date!! Who wants to go?

:)”

“I'm going Friday night, in Denver. I've already got a date! :)”

“Separated by distance.......it wasn't meant to be”

“MarkO...star-crossed lovers, we remain. ;)”

“Aaaaaa-oooooooooo!!!!
(howlin' at the moon)

Say "Banff" three times, drunk!”

“Sheesh, I can't believe I am going to be left dateless for this...
with all the TT studs here, nobody wants to help me out? You mean to tell me, I am going to have to scrounge up some non-backpacking (gasp!) fool to attend?

oh, the humanity.
:(”

“I saw it last month and it was one of the best yet.

I also went to the Montreal showing of the Vancouver Mountain Film Festival and it was a rip-off. The best film was one of Will Gadd and a buddy still with taped-on finger spurs on 80's tools and heel spurs which Gadd dropped a couple of years ago.

I'd seen the same film about four years earlier at the Banff showing.

Be warned, peeps, they're not all good.

“Doh, looks like it has already come and gone in my area. :(”

“great...it's narrowed down now to one of my girlfriends who doesn't hike is is already complaining about having to get up early the next morning, blah blah, blah - or - a guy friend who is an IT geek and thinks that geocaching IS backpacking.

hmmm....decisions, decisions.

I can't believe none of the eleventy-million PA peeps are going to this! Losers.
:p”

“Sheesh, I can't believe I am going to be left dateless for this

did I miss something??”

“Well, did you go?

I'm heading off to Paraglide across the Grand Canyon now.

Later.”

“ummm...it's not until THIS Sunday, dork.

Try to keep up.
:p”

“Paragliders are for wimps. I just finished up my homemade wings.”

“Pluck a lot chickens for that or just use your down comforter?”

“I propositioned you on another thread, Ms Gee. Don't you pay attention?
What time is the fest on Sunday and where in Bethlehem. Depending on what time I get home from bp'ing, it could be doable.”

“Glad to see Pennsy has his priorities straight!”

“Zoellner Arts Center (Lehigh Univ) at 6PM, be there or be square.
:p”

“Or in AmyG's case, she can be both.”

“The Denver show was pretty good. The first film was done by a guy from Boulder and was probably my fav, it was 'different'.

The last film they showed was humorous, but a little dumb.”

“well, I brought a non-backpacking girlfriend with me and she absolutely loved it. Of course, the fact that the place was a sausage fest might have helped too.
;p

The rock climbing clip ("return2sender") was very cool - especially since I am not really a climber. It's something I have always wanted to try though and this gave me some good insight with a great sense of humor thrown in on the narrator's part. He was wacky...even blew a snotrocket in mid-sentence and never missed a beat! LMAO!!!
