I haven't seen a thread on this. Who is going to the Seneca Rocks Cinco De Mayo Party?
http://www.thegendarme.com/...e/article.asp?id=521
THREE companies are coming to demo shoes. It sounds like more booty is being given away then last year. Finally, the kicker.....My sexy mug made it onto their webpage for advertisement.  Oh yea, my wife is in the picture too.
From their webpage:
Go climb, demo climbing shoes, enter the salsa contest, eat hot wings, drink cold beer, win free gear and celebrate the beginning of rock season
The 5-10, La Sportiva and Scarpa folks will be there in the morning with shoes to demo. We'll have our 2nd Annual Salsa contest ($5 to enter, $50 to the winner, judging at 6:00). Kurt's famous hot wings and beer apres climbing. A pinata bursting with free loot (literally) in the evening.

Thanks for taking the photos. They are awesome.
I hope you have fun in the guide training. Do you get on the river much while training? I guess I will just have to wait until the NRR to see you.

You can't be serious. Maybe you are only asking to bump the thread twice. (appreciated)
Cinco de Mayo happens to be spanish for May 5. A party for May 5 is going to happen on the weekend of the 5th in May.
Additionally, the link I provided has the dates.
FYI: May 5 is the party, but the whole weekend of May 4-6 is the celebration.

My group of friends dertainly did. My wife and I scored a rope in the raffle. We met a ton of cool people including some RC.com'ers. Tested the new rope out and had a blast.
Thanks to everyone who came up and introduced themselves.

This was the first beginning- or end-of-season party I'd made it to at Seneca. It was definitely a great time, and there were lots of cool people there.
Sunday was also the first decent day of climbing I've had at Seneca this year. Not a cloud in the sky and absolutely beautiful. Hard to complain about that!

Yeah, this was a really fun party and weekend. It was cool to meet and climb with all you guys. If not earlier, see you at the chili cookoff.
