[Texascavers] Party for Chris Lafferty at the Schindel's Saturday at 5 pm.
Folks, I just wanted to send out a STRONG reminder about the Bexar Grotto Party for Chris Lafferty. Chris is a chemical engineer and will be on a temporary duty assignment for up to 6 months in the San Francisco area. He recently moved from Houston to San Antonio and has become a active and important member of the grotto. However, being an engineer, he suffers from Engineer personality Disorder (EpD) or commonly referred to as ED. And because of that, doesn't have many (any) friends. (it's also okay to talk about it in front of him as he has no clue we're talking about him and will actually join in the conversation about the poor dwebe). So, Sue and I are concerned that we're going to throw a party and no one is going to show up. That means we'll end up having to talk to Chris BY OURSELVES all night long (think of hanging out with Sheldon Cooper). After that, we'll probably have a personality disorder (or a bigger one). However, the party also offers a great opportunity for a social experiment. Chris is going to San Francisco as an engineer but what will he come back as (I assume with flowers in his hair - for you social illiterates, that's a reference to a 60's rock song). You can get a glimpse of Chris and and compare it to the future Chris. We can throw another party when he gets back and compare notes. So, make sure you bring your cell phones and we'll video archive the party. For those of you in the S.F. area, please be kind to this gentle soul, take him caving and show him a good time but we DO want him back - though maybe changed some. Frank B., maybe you could arrange to take him to the Folsom Street Fair, that ought to weird him up a little bit. If' you've gotten this far and still want to come, it's open to cavers, and the friend of Chris'. It starts at 5 pm tonight (Saturday) at Geary and Sue Schindel's, 11310 Whisper Dawn, San Antonio. 78230. Phone is 210.479.2151. It's pot luck and we'll have some burgers and dogs on the grill. Also, we've reinstated the ban of climbing on the roof. For those that haven't RSVPed, please send a note or call so we have a rough head count (it will help calm our fears of being alone with him). Feel free to roast Chris a little on Texas Cavers if you like.

Re: [Texascavers] Party for Chris Lafferty at the Schindel's Saturday at 5 pm.
Im getting some irate emails from the Houston folks about the party post. Now that we see the value in Chris, they want him back. Well, no can do. we stole him fair and square. However, if you have something to trade of equal or greater value, we may consider. Maybe a rookie card of Ed Brinkman who used to play for the Washington Senators (that fact that it's so obscure is what makes it valuable (in some eyes)) or maybe a used vacuum cleaner or toaster oven that some small repairs.

Re: [Texascavers] Chris Lafferty in San Francisco
Hey Geary Tell Chris to drop me a line after he arrives in San Francisco (see contact info below). I lead frequent hikes out at Point Reyes National Seashore and would enjoy having him join us. We also do an occasional sea cave trip when the tides cooperate. And for real caving, the San Francisco area features three grottos: Diablo Grotto, SFBay Chapter and Redwood Grotto. A really quick way to connect with a lot of cavers from all three grottos would be for Chris to attend to attend the Western Regional Sept 19-21.

Re: [Texascavers] Replies to various post
Cave lights? The holy carbide lamp comes to mind. They were the very best and they added excitement to caving because they could explode and you could use them to muck up walls with soot. There was one called the fool light, which was a huge carbide light that had a huge reflector. And there is the old ceiling burner. I always used matches to find my way and a candle on a stick. Cave Carson and Karst Walker recommended. Sort of a caver Betty Crocker. I always read the reviews written by Bockbeer.

Thanks for the compliments and friendly gibes. Roger, as a fellow alumnus of my alma mater, you should know I'm no Aggie!
