Brian

First let me thank you in advance for all your dedication and hard work for this incredible event Chalambok. I look forward to it every year. For me it's even more anticipated than Christmas!

I'd also like to express my gratitude and thanks for all of you that swim around these discussion forums (and those of you who don't) for all the extra efforts and volunteering you do to make this camp the enjoyable event it is.

I didn't think that I was going to be able to come this year... in fact I straight up told my instructor that I was going to be a no show. I just bought a house and have been working my arse off to make the payments. I didn't think I could afford it. I was resolved to sit at home and dream about the sights, smells (food of course... not the 90 sweat soaked 4 day aging hand wraps, shirts, shorts and bodies) and friends that would be mixing it up without me.

But little did I know my wife was planning things all along. She made arrangements with Khru Bernales and surprised me with this trip as a gift on our sixth wedding anniversary... nothing says I love you like a trip to Oregon Thai Camp.

I love that woman dearly!

I'm so excited to get to go again, I can hardly sleep... that's why I'm writing this at 12:11 am on a Friday night.

Thai Camp here I come!

Ray get those dough nuts made (can I request a glazed custard filled?)

David you'd better get those running shoes laced on tight... this year I'm going to beat you on at least one of the runs.

Can't wait to meet some of your boys Mateo, it should be great fun!

Oh, one last thing, is camp at the old Silver Falls location this year? Is the ranch somewhere different once again? Where is the camp this year?

Terry, Brian (Popejoy), Brian (Dobler) are you guys going to be there this year?

Thanks guys, can't wait to see you all again.

Sincerely,
Brian Yamasaki
