Quick Note: Squamish Mountain Festival From The Inside

August 14, 2008

Summer, who happens to be a fellow Skinny Moose blogger, and author of the Vice/Virtue blog, recently took a trip to the Squamish Mountain Festival. Summer is a climber, so this was right up her alley. She has made a nice report of the local happenings, including a brief run-in with Sonny Trotter.

I’m walking out the door. Sonnie Trotter is at the front desk, mid-conversation with some dirtbag who looked vaguely familiar. I grab Sonnie’s calloused monkey hand, pump it twice, and exclaim, “Great presentation last night. Loved it,” then point (point!) at the guy Sonnie was chatting with and toss out, “Can’t wait for yours,” and continued my drunken momentum right out the door. I should’ve shouted “let’s do lunch” because that’s the kinda scmooze I had all over my face. I had no idea who the other guy was. Turns out, he was nobody.

Summer’s Squamish Mountain Festival recap was a breathe of fresh air. Many times you read of the happenings with the climbers (Sonny Trotter), but hardly ever see a report from someone that was at the festival to just have fun…and yes, Summer did have some fun. She also walked away with a bit of swag for her partying efforts. All I am going to say is..the bra’s were flying..(haha. sorry, Summer) To know what I mean, head over and check out her Squamish Mountain Festival Trip Report.
