Last Minute Details on Throwdown Dinner
The Hiller Highlands Country Club
***IMPORTANT****
We're changing the venue for our throwdown dinner this Sunday, April 13.
We're now holding the dinner at the banquet room in the Hiller Highland Country Club (thanks to CFOer Brad G for making this happen).
All other details related to the dinner are still the same (time is still 4pm, date is still April 13).
Also, please note that we'll be holding our Sunday afternoon class at 2pm so that there will be time to go to the afternoon class and still make the throwdown dinner with time to spare.

Lance needs a final headcount by end of day Wednesday, so if you plan on attending and you haven't already responded via comments or email, please do so now. And be sure to let us know if you're bringing guests.
See you all on Sunday!

Wow, fancy! Does this mean I need to shower? I will most likely have my 2 rugrats with me, but can drug them if necessary.

I wish I could make it to the dinner, but I have to spend a week in the fine city of Pittsburgh for work!

I'm still in. We're supposed to bring dessert and/or wine, right? Does Lance need help? I know how to chop and carry.

Daniel, unfortunately for you, one must be present to accept his / her throwdown winnings. Please refer to Article 3, Sub. A, Sub ii in the CFOTHROWDOWN Rules and Regulations Handbook.
As a result of your absence, Nabil and I will be splitting the purse. But at least you will be hanging out in the Steel City with this guy, so you got that going for you. http://static.flickr.com/33/67673116_d05332f6ed_o.jpg

What purse are you talking about? JP's man purse?

It's a TACTICAL MAN BAG! There is room for a gun (laser gun) and one science fantasy paperback novel in that thing!
Now that Daniel is out of the picture, Brandon and Nabil can celebrate their victory by going on a little vacation

wow, you four, all this internet flirting.

Daniel-
I know it sounds manly to say that you are going to the tough city of Pittsburg for some manly ironwork stuff, but let's be honest here, you are really just going to Stockton, CA for a photo shoot with JP.

Your the man!

Crossfit's all over the rags this month - First Muscle & Fitness and now Lance just got his Men's Journal and there's a feature on SF Crossfit. I take from a lot of these articles that there is the overall assumption that people can't push & test their own limits without injuring themselves. I've learned to listen to my body more in the last 4 months than I ever did in my 13 years of running. I had sort of relegated myself to accepting that I would blow out my knee running before I found another form of exercise - now I know I'll just bruise my knees a little when I trip during box jumps!

Fancy,
I am looking forward to it!

For those of you kind enough to offer to help with set-up, meet me at the club at 3pm on Sunday.
Lance needs some help with setting up tables and such.
Thanks!

Posted by: Joe P at April 9, 2008 9:20 PM
As stated long ago, I am not thinking I can make it but if I can it will be at the last minute and I will bring good wine to share and won't need any food just good company for a bit...
I hope that would be OK. Tell me if it is a problem.
P.S. Am I the only one who knows what Hammer Pants are?
