I’ve had a couple ideas floating around for a post but haven’t put them together. Here we go, all in one shot.

Reverend Dow
I’m ordained. My dear friends and neighbors asked me to officiate their wedding this summer. I’m honored and looking forward to it; in preparation I’ve joined the pious of the pious and been ordained. If you could all please call me Reverend Alex going forward that would be appropriate (pastor Alex, your holiness, or simply preacher also suffice). Seriously.

Steepandcheap.com
This is an excellent website if you are looking for deals on outdoor/adventure apparel and goods. The stoke: 50% off or better, great brands (Patagonia, North Face, Mountain HardWear, Arc’Teryx, MSR, La Sportiva, many others), reviews of the product right online, rss feed. The bum: expensive shipping, I’ve only bought one item and paid 1/5 of what I paid for the item just to get it shipped, there aren’t a lot of xl or xxl mountaineers out there most of our medium and small sizes sell quickly. They have a few sister sites as well. Tramdock.com (skiing), Whiskeymilitia.com (skate/snowboard), a few others I think.

I would like to pay my respects to one of the greatest bloggers of our time; Caleb Chao. Caleb, where would KTG be these past couple months without you? You’ve truly kept it going my friend. Your posts are always interesting, thought provoking, and well done.
I speak for all of us when I say KTG salutes you.
Which brings me to my next point; where the deuce have you all been? David- how’s the fight against anti Semitism, or teaching? Neal- What’s up in your life? Andy Mac10- How is art and life? Do you still think Obama is going to tank the USA further than it already is? Stetsel Sauce- flight school? Babes? Jersh, Tom dog, everyone. I want to know what is up with you.

Rev Alex: I’ll have to stock up on my Arc’teryx and ‘Face before I hit CO…hopefully soon! And congrats…that’s quite an honor. But step careful — soon you’ll have all of us coming to you to preside.
And, hear hear…where our boys at? I keep a steady eye on a handful of blogs, but there’s none I anticipate more than KTG…what’s the good word, gentlemen?

Padre alex! That rules. What else rules is technology and the fact that I am typing this from my iPod. It’s like I’m jordy laforge from star trek next generation. Anyway I just got a new wacom tablet so I have lots of sweet and exciting new projects I am working on. Further posts to come. Also I am still skeptical of Obama but as it says in eccleasties (wrong spelling?) there is nothing new under the sun. More posts on that to come.
Love
Andy

Rev – that was my nickname in at CF – feels pretty lame now that I think of it. I’m sorry I didn’t get to see you when Cecka and I were in Denver between Christmas and New Years. We were there for two days only and they were pretty jam packed. It was a quick last minute trip but there’s always time for friends… so a no excuses apology. Lot’s of new developments in regards to my blogging efforts (more to come January 28th). I’ve still never owned a computer, an ipod and I’m not very good with cell phones (seriously text messages scare me).
In recent news I’ve begung a gradual ascent into the local hip-hop scene in Minneapolis/St. Paul. I’ve always enjoyed spoken word and purposeful rappers. Last night was an enjoyable one. His name is Kristoff Krane http://www.kristoffkrane.com
I’m with Caleb – this is the most heavily anticipated website I typically peruse.

Thanks for the updates fellas. Andy what is wacom tablet?
Tom sauce, rev is a tight nickname, it lets others know how religiously superior you are to them, which is really important this day and age. I forgive you for no Denver appearance, I miss you though. Do you have nightmares @ text messages? Yes on Hip Hop! Is Atmosphere out of MN? I thought so maybe, probably not super positive though.
