GK Meet-n-Greet/NAGC 2011

It's been decided! The date and State for the 2011 Gk meet-n-Greet and North American Growers Cup has been selected.


When: Weekend of July 22, 2011


Where: Central Colorado


The States on the ballot for 2011 were California, Colorado, Maine, North Carolina and Oregon. It was a close vote and Colo was selected for a second year. This gives us one more year to fine tune our efforts then take this show on the road to other regions.


This will be a wilderness camping event. There is a possibility of a small cabin and limited electricity but don't count on it. Be prepared for living in a tent in the high country and enjoying the great outdoors surrounded by 14,000 foot peaks. For those lacking the correct gear, let us know and between Rky and myself we should be able to outfit folks on a limited first come first served basis. Arrangements for transport can be made for anybody f in. The nearest major airport is Denver with local service to Aspen.


A few rules for anybody considering attending.


Attendees must have a GK join date previous to July 2010 AND have posted a grow *or* a have join date previous to Jan 2009 AND 500 posts. Guests of attendees are welcome but only upon previous committee approval.


Pets are welcome abiding by Colorado Forest Service guidelines. It would be a shame to have a run in with local rangers because of a pet violation. Remember, pets MUST be socially comfortable with other animals. There will be large dogs so if your pet is a snack for a Pit or 90lb retriever you might want to think twice.


Fire arms- Many attendees own and enjoy the use of fire arms. We do not limit the carrying of firearms within Colorado State guidelines. Any use or discharge MUST take place well away from camp. If we can hear you, you're too close. Use of firearms while impaired or near camp will result in immediate ejection. Fuck with this one and this one armed old bastard will beat your ass.


Alcohol- "Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life". If you drink, do so responsibly and tend to your empty cans or bottles appropriately.


Cannabis- We request that any single attendee not registered as an MMJ user in the state of Colorado restrict personal possession to one ounce or less. This is to remain under State Statute for for petty offense carrying a $100 fine with no appearance. Link to Colorado State Statute>>http://norml.org/index.cfm?wtm_view=&Group_ID=4526 Please please read this if you are coming from out of state.


Within Colorado possession for under one ounce is a violation of less than a traffic ticket. If we stay smart and work within the system risk is minimal. Start selling or carrying poundage and you put us all at risk. Please respect your fellow GKers and their guests by being smart.


Cup event- Open to all attendees who are GK members. The bud entered must have been grown by your own hand. This is an honor system.


Judging will be done by all in attendance by secret ballot. Buds will be rated according to: Appearance, Aroma, Taste, Effect/Potency on a 1-10 scale in each category. The bud with the highest cumulative score will be deemed the winner.


Local activities include trout fishing (Useless will be your guide..last year's success rate will ensure that you're NOT eating fish for dinner), off roading, hiking, summer skiing/boarding, mountain biking, for motorcycle riders the finest biking in the world and burning some of the finest weed GKers can put out. Pick one, add in the last and how can you lose?


There will be door prizes, an award plate to the NAGC winner crafted by yours truly, Meet-n-Greet T-shirts and Hoodies available and good fun for all. (We'll get you guys a cost on the shirts) Final location will be available only to qualifying attendees via e-mail and will NOT be posted publicly due to security precautions. If you are interested in attending please PM Rky, AJ or me and we'll get you the email contact.


Much thanks go out to: Rky, Joe, Pharm, Useless, T6, Geo, MrAstro, Headcase (Bud) and the admin team for getting us this far and your support. Cheers guys.

 

Sounds like a blast. I just might be able to swing it. I miss the mountains. I was born in the Pueblo area. Don't remember living there, but I've visited often.


Do you have to have a license to fish there? Would an out of state license be acceptable? Would love to try my hand at the trout. Usually I hit the Gulf for speckled trout and red drum. Didn't this year due to the spill. As soon as the Gulf warms back up, on the reef I'll be.

 

Thanks, t6! The wife doesn't want to go, but I'm 'green' lighted to go by myself. So unless disaster happens, I'll be there!

 

Thanks again, t6. That link helps a ton.:anibong:

 

We own northamericangrowerscup.com and have the name incorporated in case we ever want to get bigger. Nothing there yet as I don't use it. Just wanted to lock it up in case. Jurisdiction is because nowhere is anybody doing a Cup for growers regardless of legality of the contestants. Some day it would be nice to go viral and open it up to anybody desiring to attend...but until we have a legal state that's only a wish. Besides, it's our fun...we can call it anything we wish. The original Cannabis Cup event was nothing more than a few writers on an Amsterdam lark. After a few years it became what we are familiar with today. They had no more veracity than us.


yup Denver is the nearest major hub.


Boa- That was me last year...all that sweet bud and me watching....damn damn damn. You'll survive.
