I've met him yes, but I wouldn't say I know him well at all. So none of you guys on here are going? I'll just enjoy it for everyone I guess!
BTW, just went to The House and picked up a Board/Binding/Boot package, and I HIGHLY RECCOMEND THAT PLACE! Along with it all , I also got a nice stomp pad, and they also gave me a free shirt, free DVD, and free sunglasses! Total came out to like $370 which I think is a hell of a deal. I haven't shopped for a board in 10 years, so I really had no idea what I was looking for. They were extremely helpful and I told them I wanted a board that could freeride, and freestyle, something kind of in the middle, not more one than the other. We hopped on their site and he picked out 3 of them he'd reccomend for my application. He then went into the warehouse and brought the 3 out. Here's the package I ended up purchasing.

I'm pretty happy with it, and I can't wait to take it out on the hills Saturday!
