Sorry I missed seeing all the great people there. This was going to be a prefunc for my knee replacement on the 6th, Tuesday morning. I was woke up last Tuesday night by an intense pain lower right side. Went to the Dr Wednesday, blood in the urine, possible kidney stone. CT scan Thursday, 4 mm stone on it's way out. Dr gave me percocet 325/5, when the stone is resting 1/2 a pill makes me drowsey, when the stone is moving a pill every two hours doesn't seem to touch the pain. Yesterday during stamfest the stone was moving at glacier speed for about 6 hours. I wasn't going anywhere. I think that the stone is around the bladder now as the pain is in that area and is a dull ache, like a toothache. I would have really enjoyed reconnecting with folks I haven't seen in a while, i'm sure the event was Stam worthy.

Yowza! Stamfest was way better than stonefest. Sorry you missed it JG. I think that some were drinking something that made them dance like they were passing a kidney stone in your honor. See ya' next time.

Was at the Husky game getting more gray hairs instead of being at Stamfest. Wish I could have been there, as I know it was a good time.

Sure hope the goat is OK and that Stam isn't blind (again).

Sounded like it was going to be an EPIC party.

It was an excellent party. I did not see any really crazy stuff, but lots of fun stuff. The band was great, the food excellent and in prodigious quantities.

My only suggestion for next year is a few more lights outdoors. I think I heard Bucket say he was on that.

fawk, I can't believe I chose a pathetic foosball game over Stamfest....

I spaced it..... and instead wound up smoking some butts for a family garage sale. Yippee..............

Glad y'all had fun. I doubt it could'a turned out different considering the quality of folks attending!

Dan S. kept us up to speed on all we needed to know about the football game. Stam isn't blind, but he can't see none too straight today. KK smokes ribs to be amazed by. And the prime rib and Bucket's turkeys were way better than restaurant grade. And a couple of partiers must have thought they were at hempfest.

A bit more outdoor lighting would be great. I walked out of the barn on my way to a bush and another beer and said "hi Vedder" to 5 or 6 people who aren't Vedder. Stamfest indeed rocked.

Yeah, with so little outdoor light it’s really hard to tell which of the five black labs is yours. With Tye it was a bit easier. All I had to do was listen for someone saying something like "That GD dog just ate my prime rib." I didn't get any of the prime rib, but Tye seemed to think it was excellent. After seven hours of grab-assing with other dogs and eating God knows what he's had it. He has slept all day without moving a muscle.

Sorry to have missed it. . . .was triple booked for the evening. .. maybe next year, sounds like a good time with good people. . . .

Damn Stam, now that did you right proud I think!

Cedar is being very "un-Ceda-like", and he is resting. Awesome time, great food, great people, great venue, and how could you possibly beat the weather?

All y'all need to bring your own light with you.

Show cars, great food, and lots of it, great opportunity to catch up with those I haven't seen in awhile and some new introductions. A shot of Bulgarian 'shine with the host warmed the soul....

Thanks again to our host, his stalwart ancestors that provided so much, and all those that worked and rocked so hard to make it a memorable day.

Epic.

Simply epic.

Driftin' - I gotta have the recipe for that dessert.

You throw a hella party, stam............. and Bucket threw down food like I've never seen before.

Thanks for having me there!

Sorry I couldn't make it this year my brothah......I still think I'm slightly hung over from LAST year's bash, and the thought of missing the chance to steal more hunks of smoked salmon straight out'a 'da smokehouse makes us wanna cry.

Did Joe get on stage and do a couple minutes of standup? He loves to work a crowd............

I hoisted a few in your general direction. Next year. Maybe we can get B and V up for the bash next year.............

I'll see what I can do for you and the ol' goat. Gran could throw down some serious grub. That one makes a nice finish to the day....

Almost as nice as Tru' stealin' one in the end zone with seconds on the clock.....

1-0, bro

Damn, I survived it, wow that was close! Hell of a long time since I'd been up past 2am, but had to show support for Dogfish who was hell bent on stayin awake for 24hrs. Driftin----I'd love ta have that there recipe also! Stam---thanks a bunch, you, Jeff, Erica, Chris, Ashley, Dave, Willy and bro Joe done a fine job!

Stupid Huskies.

Let me know when Stamfest 2012 is and I'll call up Woodward to make sure he doesn't schedule another home game at the same time!

Or, I'm just selling my damn ticket next year......

John Maynard? Wow...what a blast from the past. When I went to the UW he and Robin were the shizzle on KXRX! Always loved their programs.You must be a real legend Stam!!!! Great looking barn and place. Sounds like a good time was had by all !!!!!!!!!!!

Wasn't invited to the Stamfest. Did get an invite to the Survivor Redneck Olympics and pig roast up the road past Sol's old place on the hill. Looks like you all had a good time and I haven't heard of any animals being abused.

Damn dog is still actin like a dead dog, tossed her fav toy and she laid there and looked at me with the f-you look.

Wow what a killer time. Nice to meet a bunch of you. Thanks Stam. That had to have been one of the coolest private events I have ever attended. Jesus Bucket you were working almost everytime I saw you. Hope you enjoyed what you were doing because I sure did. Next year I'll be glad to build ya a meat table that is a couple feet higher off the ground with some kind of dog guard around it. Glad I didn't bring my dogs. They would of maid Tye look like a saint. 40 lbs of perfectly cooked Prime rib and BBQ turkey at eye leval would have yielded 0 maners.

I had a blast! Thanks again for the invite, Stam. It was also great to meet a few more PP'ers in person.

Food was over-the-top even for people that do over-the-top food. Bucket's turkey and prime-rib were top-notch along with KK's ribs and Stam's fresh-outta-the-smoker Queen Charlotte kings. I feel like the world's meat supply must have taken a hit. The live music was solid as could be.

The dozen labs running around seemed to have a great time too. At one point, Bucket's wife was livid at Tye for eating off her plate. I just looked at her and said, "That one isn't mine". She said, "I know. That is Vedder's damn dog!".

Sorry I missed it,as I was packing a cooler for this awesome event around 4:30ish my wife decided she was gonna take me to valley general to get checked out as I had been bitchin about some discomfort in my chest all day long.Upper left chest that is.Why'll you were all full bellied and buzzed I was hooked up to some machines.All's well and pissed I missed it.Good luck,
SZ

Been working on it. Been leaving food around the house with orders not to eat it. So far perfect. I think maybe Bucket's prime was just irresistable.

Tye will be corprally punished if I can catch him. I didn't reallly wanna beat my dog at your party. As we type he has a shock collar on and a plate of smoked salmon on the hearth. News at 11:00

Fuc%in entrapment I tell ya. Poor Tye




try pizza

Haha... training ala Vedder sounds exactly like training ala Twitch. The ol' bait n' shock technique! I put an electric wire around all the flower beds to protect them prior to the weddun recep.... once the wire was up, I smeared a lil' peanut butter on it, and plugged'er in. YEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLP a few seconds later confirmed it was on, and now he won't go near anything that resembles white string

We used the shock collar technique to break him of bolting from us to rush up to visitors at the hatchery.

over...

Tye has worn that damn shock collar for two weeks now. Not once has he done anything that would warrent a zap. I took it off just before the party - mistake.


Smoked salmon has been on the foot stool within two feet of his bed for more than an hour. He has stared a hole in it but has made no effort to take it. I think I need an entire one of Bucket;s prime ribs for bait.

$1 says you take it off, and leave the room, fish will be gone in seconds.

They know what that funny thing on their neck can do. They mind the collar, not the command...

You lose $1. No collar on him. Fish is unmolested. I have left the room for as long as five minutes.

You went the Husky game, didn't you?

Damn near gave me a heart attack, too!

Glad to hear you're OK!

Damn! Good dog....(til ya least expect it!)

Stam---you find my shoes?

Tye ate them. They tasted like prime rib, and turkey.

I'd be getting the sh!t shocked out of me if I had to wear a shock collar around Bucket's prime rib.

That stuff was worth getting electrified for.

Dam,I'm so fukin hungry right now.Parker,I did watch the game and it wasn't helping out my cause any.After I show my wife and daughter the pics of all the food and fun there gonna be even more pissed @ me for faking a heart attack and not attending the shin-dig.Good luck,
SZ

Big huge fun party! Thanks for the invite Stam. Watching you and your daughters on the dance floor put a smile on my face.

The old steel out in front of the barn was a great touch.

Dogfish tell you he and Charlie raided the smokehouse? I had nuthin to do with it....
