Dude. Seriously.
Between myself and a couple others, we prestocked 14 good sized trees at my house. That’s out of some 40 trees that eventually showed up. We prefunked at my place, strapped trees to trailers and trees to bikes and trees to bags and rode out to Westlake Center to meet everyone else.
Video from Rory. This is how we got the trees out there.
Words don’t cover this. And really, it takes everyone to tell the story properly. So these are the pictures – from everyone. What an incredible mess. Click the picture for the flickr/smugmug/gallery link. Thanks everyone. Amazing night.

After this mess, we stumbled over to the Sloop and had our 2010 Calendar Release Party. Miles, you rule. This was fun. Everyones picture was great. The calendar looks excellent. There aren’t any more for sale I’m told, which is really too bad. But given the financial requirements, don’t blame him. He footed the whole bill and just pushed to break even. Awesome job Miles. Thanks to Henry Rose and Sean Sweeney for shooting the pictures.
After all that, fires, booze, and sharpies… the calendar signing sorta got out of hand…

Oh, and my picture? This is me, Mr November.
It’s going to be a good year.
Onward.

We had absoluetly no fun that night. Nice write
up Scott. That was brilliant, you are a beautiful human being. Thank you for helping me remember that night!
it took a few days to clean the ink of my chest. the ink on my arms/ribs still hasn’t gone away…
You might look into getting a permit for that next year. Even in a fire pit, that size of bonfire is illegal within the city limits at any time of year in any weather conditions. If someone called 911 (the houses on the bluff above often do), the fire department would have come and made you put it out.
Thanks for the concern, but police and firefighters have wandered by before and it’s never been an issue. They wandered by this year too – no problem. We’re not violating any laws. Don’t let long exposure camera shots fool you.
It was more than likely your good attitudes that kept them from doing anything. Recreational fires can’t be larger than 3 feet in diameter by 2 feet in height without a permit. I’m just trying to be informative and not argumentative. Be safe.
