October is fast approaching.. and in the Red River Gorge, that means two things: sending temps and Rocktoberfest, presented this year by Keen Footwear, Black Diamond and Mountain Gear. The RRGCC 8th Annual Roctoberfest will be the weekend of October 10 - 12, 2008. This year's festivities will feature the Reel Rock Film tour on Friday night; a climbing competition, dinner, and party w/bands on Saturday; and clinics w/sponsored athletes on Sunday. Camping will be available at the venue, Natural Bridge Cabin Country Campground (formerly Bee Rocks Village) for the entire weekend. Visit the RRGCC Rocktoberfest site http://rrgcc.org/rocktoberfest/ for more info and to register. Our sponors have pledged to bring an incredible amount of schwag (literally truckloads!) and by pre-registering and inviting friends you can increase your chances of winning more scwag. Proceeds will benefit the purchase of the RRGCC's Pendergrass-Murray Recreational Preserve.

No, not exactly but the site owner is reportedly out of town until Saturday and I'm sure they'll get it back up soon after. So while you RRC.com'ers have nothing better to do, get on over to the http://rrgcc.org site and register for Rocktoberfest :)

Some more details on Rocktoberfest if you're not already signed up on our e-mail list:
Online Registration is now open for the 8th Annual RRGCC Rocktoberfest!
This year Rocktoberfest is not to be missed. Coming off the killer time that was the Petzl Sponsored Roctrip in 2007, we've got another festival worked out that promises to help you kick the fall season off properly. Black Diamond, Mountain Gear, Keen, and Petzl along with the Red River Gorge Climbers' Coalition are bringing you more live music than ever, as well as climbing films from all over the country.
The Reel Rock Fall Tour will make a stop at our amazing venue in the beautiful Red River Gorge just to get your palms sweaty. Aside from the latest releases from Sender Films and Big Up Productions, the Reel Rock tour includes winners of the short film contest from all over the country.
Now, aside from the killer films all weekend, we've got some amazing talent from right here in Central Kentucky. Our lineup includes the first ever combination of these Central Kentucky powerhouse bands..... The Phat Maverics, Big Fresh, Club Dub, The Sexual Disaster Quartet, The Slant Kings, and our favorite kids from The 23 String Band.
With more music than ever, incredible new films from around the country, athletes from all the climbing rags, clinics for all levels, an all-out throw down enduro competition, and more schwag than your hatchback (and dog) can handle, how much of a bummer would it be to miss Rocktoberfest? Even if you feel like you could forgive yourself for missing the fun, keep in mind all proceeds go straight to the RRGCC and help us pay off the PMRP!
The first 200 to register online will get a bag full of schwag. But hurry and register online now for exclusive online pricing and to guarantee your spots and free goodies. We'll have camping onsite this year so reservations are recommended!
Events, sponsors, venue details, and registration are all explained in detail at http://rrgcc.org/rocktoberfest. Any questions, comments, or generally loving thoughts can be directed to rrgcc@rrgcc.org. If you'd like to help us out with street team efforts by hanging fliers or if you want to volunteer at any point over the weekend kick us an email at volunteer@rrgcc.org.
Thanks For Your Support!
RRGCC Board of Directors
Please check with your friends and forward this email to anyone you know that may be interested. Have them sign up for future emails on the left header at http://www.RRGCC.org.

This is to remind everyone of the importance of preregistering for Rocktoberfest. This is important because the first 200 people to preregister will get a special schwag bag. We are quickly approaching 200 preregistrants. This is also important because we will use the preregistration numbers to determine how much food to get from Bourbon & Toulouse for Saturday night. We cannot guaranteed that you will be able to get dinner Saturday night unless you preregister. Finally, the Sunday clinics will be taught by sponsored athletes. We hope to announce the details of the clinics later this week and I assure you the clinics will fill up once the details are released on the athletes. So get on over to http://rrgcc.org/rocktoberfest/ and preregister to lock in your spot!!!

If you have preregistered for Rocktoberfest - http://rrgcc.org/rocktoberfest/ - you should have received an invite code. Let your friends know about the event, tell them to sign up with your invitation code and earn credits towards winning more schwag! (You must pay prior to the event for your invites to be valid) So mine your address books and get your invites out over the weekend as online registration will shut down prior to the event start.

Is there any chance that a Self-Rescue clinic will be added?
I know of at least a couple people that would be interested signing up if offered.

Tommy Caldwell, Daniel Woods, Emily Harrington, Whitney Boland, and Justin Sjong are among the sponsored athletes scheduled to teach the Sunday climbing clinics at the RRGCC Rocktoberfest this weekend. John Evans and Chuck Odette of Petzl will also be teaching a climbing photography clinic on Sunday. So if you haven't already registered, get on over to http://rrgcc.org/rocktoberfest/ before these clinics completely fill up. All clinic participants MUST come to the Clinic Meet and Greet on Saturday, October 11th at 7 PM at Bee Rocks. This will give participants the opportunity to meet the instructors and sign liability waivers.
You must pre-register and pay in order to secure your spot. Registration closes at midnight on Wednesday so hurry!

Just a reminder that online registration for Rocktoberfest will be closed tomorrow Wednesday, October 8, 2008 at Midnight. One thing to keep in mind is that we are not able to accept credit card payments at the event door. We will only be able to accept cash or checks at the door.

A big thanks to the 200+ people who pre-registered for Rocktoberfest! According to the thermometer on the RRGCC website we are just past the halfway mark towards our 2009 PMRP payment goal. The way things are coming together with the weather forecast we will quite possibly come out of the weekend with the 2009 payment in hand.
A big thanks goes out to to all the volunteers who have helped put this event together and to our event sponsors including: Petzl, La Sportiva, Mountain Gear, Keen, Black Diamond, Five Ten, Prana, North Face, Sterling, Rock & Ice, Red Bull, Primal Spirit Foods, Joshua Tree Climbing Salve, The Access Fund, The American Alpine Club, Miguel's Pizza, Red River Outdoors, Lago Linda Hideaway, Phillip Gall's, The Warrior's Way - Desiderata Institute, and the Solid Rock Climbers for Christ.
