I love how James kept popping up and waving! :hi: And he also ratted myself and Tammy out to the camera. I don't even remember what we were talking about, but knowing us I'm sure it was something dirty. :shock: :xD:

Alan, this is so awesome! I can't wait to see the whole thing!!

Alan, my tsmukan, it is soooooo exciting to log on to the thread and see a new video "episode" of our Seattle adventure! I can't begin to imagine the time that it is taking you to produce this for us. I am going to have to get out my Thesaurus to find new words to tell you how completely awesome your film project is. Irayo! :)

LMAO :xD: Fiyer, I am sure you were right about that as I was trying to figure out what in the world we were talking about. But we know it was James who was the instigator on the dirty convo's. LOL We love ya James! :xD: :)

Alan, I am so impressed with your video and editing skills.They are coming along so beautifully! I am completely enjoying every second of them.;) OUTSTANDING!!!

No, not me misstammie, I never do that.:D Hey misstammie whatch out for the blue......(You could poke an eye out!) I do remember you ladies starting the subjects of conversation!!! You did mention a certin blue butt.....hmmm:xD:

I miss ya all, and still laugh at the stuff we all said! Oh This is when burping buger came about, that is what we are talking about, and your nick name MissTAMBO.....all good fun!

haha ^^^^ a suggestion: the night is still young, & the summer's still long... Maybe people who live more or less close can make a "mini meetup" to do "a trial hike"? depending on the circumstances of course but hey most of you are (ex)students that means vacations...

Like Alan & HNM I'm on the other side of the world so I would find bringing ALL the hiking/ camping stuff with me problematic... so "hiking as a part of the meetup" probably is best for me... (but hiring eqpt is a great idea! :D )

All said, there's still quite some time to plan it... which is a favourable factor! ;)

Irayo my friends for you kind comments on the videos. :shy: I really appreciate them. :)

I'm about halfway through with adding the commentary now.

Hey, Apache, that sounds like a cunning plan to do a trial hike. I bet there will be takers for that if they are close by ;) It might be that there are already designated routes that might help. Duno? Like you say, pleanty of time to investigate and plan. I suspect planning for next year will really start after our tsmuke clan, LearnNa'vi, have had their meet up on the 9th July.

Ooo, nearly forgot. Here is part 4:







Kiyevame,

Alan

Another great video Alan. It cut off just before the good part though. ;)

I wish I was an ex-student. ;) I still have two years till I get my degree in Computer Engineering...and I know of quite a few others that are still students. But like you said, the majority are ex-students.

Anyway, although the idea for a test hike is ok, I can't afford to fly to Seattle just for a hike. And Most people probably can't either. Also I'm in contact with people in Seattle that know the places to go and we have people in the group that are experienced hikers/backpackers. The plan is to have everything at the same time so that there is only one trip to Seattle.

For example:
Meetup starts Thursday.
Hike is scheduled for Friday.
Saturday and Sunday and Monday are more group stuff.
Tuesday backpacking trip starts/meetup ends.
Wednesday/Thursday people head home.


Something like that anyway...


And renting gear from REI is very easy and could easily be arranged for people who don't have gear/can't bring gear.

With good reason ;) I've been working on the following bit. Hehehe :xD:

WOW! Another fantastic video ma Alan!! Txantsan! I got a real kick out of this one and I LMAO :xD: when MOM's went to meet Sarah across the way and someone yelled "MAKE THE BOND!" That was absolutely EPIC! Extremely fitting for sure! ;) Such a fun day that was! Loved every second of it. ;)

That's right! I think we were talking about new nicknames for the site. You called me the burper and (walking right into it) I said 'the burger?' Then you dubbed me the Burping Burger. :xD: And somewhere in all of that Alan started filming. :P

I loved the 'MAKE THE BOND!' comment as well. I'm trying to figure out who said it, but I can't tell. I know I said it at one point, but I don't think my voice is quite that deep. :D I do know I was yelling "Tsaheylu!" though.

Avatastic-- I like it! :)

I'm glad someone noticed how my being short contributed to the costume :xD:
Alan, I'm so glad you're making this thing. Irayo

(I know everyone knows irayo-- I was just testing out the NAVI tags :P)
