Dinosaur BBQ @ an Engagement Party?? SWEET!!!

Hello Bloggers and Blog-ettes,

Things are hectic over here at flint studios. It's been an awesome year so far and somehow, it just keeps getting better!! I hope that you are all enjoying your summer as well.

When I first met with Nate & Estelle, they told me straight off that they needed a photographer who was willing to shoot a casual engagement party this summer in addition to their more traditional plans for an upcoming Wedding in May 2008. "A casual engagement party, huh?? What's on the menu??", I asked. I knew upon hearing their response that this was an engagement party not to be missed!! For those of you who are familiar, the Dinosaur BBQ is about the best BBQ that you can get in this neck of the woods. If you're ever in town, let me know, I WILL TAKE YOU...YOU WONT BE SORRY!! (I am silently hoping that some of you will respond with bbq joints from your towns that put the dino to shame. Are you out there Craig Davis, Andy Peterson, Mike Norwood?? Speak up!!.) As if that wasn't enough...Magic Hat #9 ROCKS!! Pretty perfect summertime beer. Pretty perfect summertime afternoon.

Thanks to the Weldon and Tickle families for being so gracious. To Estelle and Nate for entrusting me with you memories, and to Kelli Marsh who worked off every BBQ induced calorie by giving 152% of herself. I was going to say 147%, but the pulled pork and cornbread added an extra 5%!!!

We arrived hungry...fired up and hungry...The dogs smelled something good. Check out those tongues!!


mmmm...beer.
...wait for it...
YES!!!
after grub, it was out for some snaps with these righteous party planners.


Thanks again guys, it was a blast!!

So is anyone going to give me some leads on hot bbq joints?? I travel quite a bit these days and need to know what I need to know!!! Sound off!! ...oh, and if you want to subscribe...there's a fancy little 'subscribe' box along the upper right side of the page. Good times, i tell ya!!

Best,

One 4 The Books!!!

What a day it was!!!

Blue skies, sunshine and mustaches adorning the faces of all who were present. Stash Bash 2007 started out slow but built steadily. In the end it earned it's place amongst theme party legend...a goliath of gatherings. For those in attendance, thank you your contributions. Your enthusiasm and firedup-ed-ness shaped the day into a memorable one. For those not...no need to worry, we've already started cooking up plans for another installment!!

Here are some snaps from the early part of the day. How ridiculous are these?!?!?!?

Mustache Bash 2007

This sunday, I relax. Well, sorta. Ali, Lindsay, Kelli and I have put together the theme party to end all theme parties. A tribute to the Grandaddy of Facial Fashion...the mustache. All are invited to rock out at Stash Bash 2007. By design, its a BYOS(tash) party, but if you're having trouble locating or growing your own, we have plenty of complimentary mustache designs to choose from. Party goes all day so it starts when you get there.

yours in stash,

Rockin' in the Rockies

Hey Hey!!

We landed in Denver Tuesday evening and haven't stopped yet. Moonlight ATV tours, Horseback riding across the Continential Divide, chillin' in Frisco, Grand Lake, Breckenridge, Leadville and on and on. Wedding tomorrow afternoon but not before I get a few snaps from our adventures posted. This first one I adore...A super huge thank you to Han Smith and his crew at the Rusty Spurr Ranch in Kremmling, Co. for taking us on a life-altering 3 hour tour. Rayna, Matt, Little Joe, the Chief...you guys are the best. For more information, visit www.rustyspurr.com.



















ahhhh... the Rockies. The best skies in the entire world. So inspirational!

So I'm looking for a little bit of help here. I am posting for the first time using Safari and cannot seem to figure out why all of the options that are available to me in Mozilla Firefox are not available showing up (links, font information, etc.). I think that I have everything up to date, so I am at a loss here. Any suggestions??

I'm off to bed...wedding in Buena Vista tomorrow afternoon!!! Get fired up!!!

I hope that this finds you all well.
