CI and teh molestar made an 8 year old cry at teh Vegas BET mete-up a couple years ago. I wonder if teh feat will be duplicated this thyme.

given that you live in shitsville, TX right now, shouldn't you just take anywhere that you can get?

I had 13K of rewards points at moosejaw and needed to use some of them. Still have about 40 bucks worth left. I'll save them ones. I'm going to do that with some gnu nomics whenever petzl unfucks it self... or, this fall. If you can, use the 2X or 3X rewards coupons. I've always been able to use the 2X but every now and then they'll have a 3X. I did it with a tent and this time I did it with some new shoes. Now that I don't work for a shop I should shop at MJ and get rewards. Do the 2x get emailed to you? Back in high school I got a free whisperlite because they typoed my 7500 points into 750,000 and didn't catch it till I cashed in for the stove. They let me keep it though! Nah, I just put in 2XREWARDS online when buying and every time I've tried it's worked. The 3X usually get mailed though... or they have a sale announcement on their site. Rewards points are halved if the product is on sale though. I'm thinking about picking up a big anges pad/ bag setup for this upcoming trip, but backcountry has the bag I want for half off, that'll hard to beat. We just bought a 3 man tent at MEC(big enough for me the jerk and the dog) to replace our smoke damaged Losi, but it seems excessive to haul across the country. I have a $100 gift card to ll bean and they have a nice looking mt hardware tent for $165, but....its meh. I might just try and air out the Losi as much as possible and bring that ( unless, did someone say they have a two man I can borrow?) Which MEC tent did you get? I have an old Tarn 3, but I think the Wanderer is a nicer tent. Thinking of upgrading to a Wanderer 4 for both Nathan and I to be comfortable. We got the new tarn 3. We got it over the wanderer because of the headroom ( brians 6'3.) we didn't look too close at anything else, they had the tarn set up on the floor and we both went ' oh, perfect!'
Takes some getting to know to set it up so it won't leak in the rain. Nathan won't touch it when we head out with it because of this. I think the newer ones have a better sitting fly though and this shouldn't be as much of an issue. I know a few people with newer Tarn 2s and they said they've never had an issue.
All the same, I think that a 3 person tent is only comfortable for one person and I still want to upgrade.

You have a point... although it does suck big time for climbing it's knot too bad of a town. It could certainly use more cultured eateries, a book store and less country drivers that have no clue.
