Info:
The center of all Colorado Invihashional activity will be at Monarch
Mountain Lodge, http://www.monarchmountainlodge.com/ This means, BEER, food,
meeting for trail, skits, music and dancing - in short all debauchery will
focus on Monarch Mountain Lodge.
Kristen has been great to work with and has made this really easy � unlike
Durango Mountain Resort. Thank her when you call to make reservations.
Monarch is going to be great. We have the entire hotel to ourselves � they
are updating parts of the hotel so some will be brand new and some will be
older, but it is totally hasher friendly.
SKA beer will be flowing everywhere. There is a bar, pool, 2 hot tubs,
sauna, beer pong table and tons of space for hanging out.
Very little will change from the previously planned Durango schedule; there
will be a DJ, skits, Karaoke and late night fun. And since Heinous needs
late night food there will be pizza at night.
Did I mention shaggy??? Look it up in the dictionary and you�ll see and
picture of Monarch.
Monarch is just outside of Salida, CO � the boyhood home of Spicy Chicken
poop. We are working with Spicy to arrange for rafting/tubing down the
Arkansas River either as a pre-lube or as part of a trail. The exact
details are TBD � yes, I have the TBD, but it takes a bit or time to figure
it all out.
Obviously, Brewfest is out as it is at Durango Mountain Resort and we are
not, but SKA will have so many varieties of BEER available you won�t miss
it. Beaujalayme just reported in that she had her local lick-her store
order bombers of SKA Warning Sign, 11% alcohol � might I suggest that you do
the same; can you say DRUNK!!!!!
