Ill be in town but ill see how the kids and the wife are doing before i commit to anything.

What is JAM off?

See the very first line in my OP. That's a link. Being from SJ I understand you are not familiar with links in Japan based ski forums.

 Ha!  To think that was the whole point of this site (or part of it anyway).  Sadly, I will be in Australia that weekend but I now see the need to at least have stickers and hopefully one t-shirt design printed.  I will work on this tomorrow.

let me know about t shirts so I can send you the ai file - I'm moving to dauphin so I may be off the grid for a week or two

my boss sells clothes to the schools here. She can also print shirts. If you want it done through her just ask.

Please send the snowflake/shuirken design ai file with the PN logo for the back.  I think we all agreed that that was a good "tourist" shirt and it would be easy to print.  I f I make a quick run of those at least we have a starting product. 

had the same question but now its clear, ic, let me email you creekboy.  i'll be happy to wear "pooch" ninja-t if available. (no porch ninja tho..)

Cool.  I didn't want to be the only one wearing the tshirt.  I fail at promotional work.

I wouldnt mind going up for the weekend, if my bike fits (im assuming youre bringing yours?) plus your friend is going, right?

not sure if its worth bringing my bike up to hkb.   im a total beginner.  and i dont know if my friend wants to go or not.   ill ask.

if more people and more bikes then can just switch the car to sakamo's van, no problemo. 

my concern is that our conference starts on sep 9th and ends on 12th,  my next week looks tough, presumably pretty tough, so if im driving then 13th evening, hoping that i dont need to work on the 13th.

yet my biggest concern is if the pn t-shirt says "pooch" or not..

I have 2 bikes and jeff has 2 maybe 3 bikes. That is enough for 4 to 5 people to ride. Even if you dont bring your bike we more than likely have enough. You should bring your bike I have brakes you should buy off of me.

My bike is available for use if anyone needs a shitty one.

yeah... mine's available.  just don't break it.  and feel free to put a generous contribution in the new tire fund.

how kind thank you.  if the pn t-shirt is available then i could pack one less t-shirt..  (im packing now)  and pls let me make some nice contribution.

How was it?

was great =)  brought up the bike i got from altaboy's sister and learnt a lot how to ride a mtb.  finally got to hear altaboy sing, he can sing and so can martin.  also enjoyed the guitar solo of this japanese man on the left.
