GeoffV Posted January 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 I dont mind covering for a keg of bud light or something cheap. If anyone has any requests and wants to throw in for something more expensive, let me know :) Gleb, sorry you'll miss most of the week, looks like you'll need a few drinks after that hell week you'ev been through:eplus2: Matt Roth (tex1230) wanted to do a keg as well, but most bars wouldn't allow it so he is just buying some rounds for everyone. You can do the same thing if you are serious about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queequeg Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 So, I am thinking about trying to make it for ECES. I know I'm making plans a bit late here, I just need to see how I feel about riding after my injury (I'll know for sure on the 10th, as I am going to try and head out on the 9th for my first day back on the snow). Looking at Stowe's website, it seems as though it would be really easy to get there via Amtrak - does anyone have experience with this? I am in NYC and I don't have a car ... and getting being able to essentially hop on the subway and just magically end up in Stowe just sounds oh-so cool.

Check here there are several folks headed up from NYC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeoffV Posted February 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Just a reminder that sign up and payment for the dinner is due by next Friday 2/8. There will be no last minute walk-ups the night of the banquet dinner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surf Quebec Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Anybody from the Montreal area going to ECES and what dates ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingbat Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 does anyone have experience with this? Just take a close look at the schedule before hopping on the train. I took Amtrak from Penn Station to Amhurst, MA once. Just got on the next train leaving which was a local. Could have gotten there faster by bike.:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

queequeg Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 I realize I missed the cutoff date for the fancy banquet, but I wanted to make sure that my shoulder was going to be ok before I committed. Either way - I'm in! I'm going to plan everything out tonight and pay tomorrow. I'm planning on coming for four days: thursday - sunday. Yee-Haw!!!!!

*Ace* Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 What days are the vendors going to be there with the demo gear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack M Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 <b><u>Banquet:</b></u> We've got 55 people signed up for the banquet/raffle, but over 70 signed up for lift ticket vouchers.... sooo..... we negotiated an extension for <b>Monday 2/18/2008</b> to get in on the banquet. Go to www.eces.us/info.htm for instructions on signing up and payment. After 2/18 we cannot accept latecomers or walk-ups. You don't want to miss this. We have 4 boards and 4 pairs of bindings to give away among other goodies. <b><u>Demos</b></u> No formal demos. Sorry. Due to Bomber not being able to attend and the current litigious climate of this society, we will not be operating formal demos at the ECES. HOWEVER.... Donek <i>might</i> be sending some boards anyway, Bruce from Coiler will be present and possibly packing a quiver of loaners, and you never know if Madd Mike will show up with a stack. IN ANY CASE, demos will be <i>strictly</i> off the record, at your own risk, and at the discretion of the individual loaning out boards. We will have a tent or two and some chairs/workbenches to serve as the session "base station" for hanging out, swapping gear, talking schmack, cat-calling passing NYC snowbunnies, etc. Bomber is set up with insurance and gear for operating demos. They have done it for us in the past, and we are hugely bummed they can't make it due to their ongoing situation. We asked Startingate to step in, but they declined.

*Ace* Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 I understand. Demos might be available but not through 'Bomber'. I can't wait to get up there. I have been checking out the Mt. Map, looks like a blast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wavechaser Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 ...over 70 signed up for lift ticket vouchers.... Jack - how do you "sign up" for lift ticket vouchers? Couldn't find info on the ECES site about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
