A Very Happy New Years 08-09

We had a fantastic New Year's Eve this year...I had the night off of work for the first time in 5 years, Josh came to Tahoe, and a ton of my other out of town friends also came for a visit, including Eric and Brittany Rygg, Kent and Judy Adams, Sabrina and Markus Leunig, and Chelsea and Trevor Robinson (not actually here on New Years, but for several days during the week before). This is a collection of pictures from the entire holiday week.

We kicked off the week with a holiday gathering/belated birthday for me...John, Brittany, Cocoa, and Josh were in attendance.

As were Lizard, Roxy, Wil Patton, Sarah, and Tucker.

Cheers to Markus, Jesse, and Cary as well.


Looks like Josh, Eric, and Jonathan are hording all the booze!


Its the beginning of the night and Chelsea already can't walk...good thing Sub and Meg can help her.

On Tuesday the group headed to Christy Hill for a celebratory dinner...it was so yummy! Thanks Ryan and Kent!!

The New Years Group gets ready for dinner at Eric Rygg's house, aka "The Bootery."

Mmmm, I'm happy...

Josh, Katharine, Sarah, and Molly are all smiles after a delicious home-cooked meal...great group effort on the food!

Now we're starting to get a little silly...no wait, that's Marco, Kat, and Josh, they're always silly!

Josh and Kat.

Now I got a laugh out of him!

Josh and Kent Adams rockin' out on the mic.

Ryan Adams with Kent Adams, his brother from a different mother!

Katharine and Josh hanging tough at the Beirut Table.

John, Molly, Bygg, A-Train, and Kat.

And now the mysterious belt appears...

The belt is now a necklace...

And a noose...

The boys laugh as a slightly tipsy Katharine fails to do the 12 pull-ups she usually does at the gym.

Katharine and Ryan gettin' jiggy wit it on the dance floor!

Molly, Kent, Brittany, and Cocoa looking a little tired at the end of a long, fun night...

Beaverfest 2008

The Marco Sullivan Fan Club headed to Beaver Creek, CO from 12/3/08 - 12/7/08 to cheer on Marco at the World Cup DH and SG races. We had 40 Beaver Slayers packed into 3 condos for 5 days, and boy did we have a blast. Thank you Chelsea and Trevor for all the hard work put into this year's Beaverfest, especially the new signs, tshirts, and cuzies!

Katharine, Jeff, and Jen on night #1 of Beaverfest.

Jesse and Megan joined us after their grueling one day drive from CA.

Andrew and Jean don't miss a beat, they are all over the Beaverfest!


Katie Johnson, my college roommate, stopped in for a cheer too.

Katharine and Chelsea at the Bib Toss Ceremony on night #2.

Welcome the Fan Club headquarters...this is where the magic all happens.

Gotta love the Marco poster making sessions...that's how you get on TV!

Modeling our new Marco shirts.

Kat posing with the Beaverfest Mascot who was often seen sporting his favorite Marco Rocks hat!

The Beaver Slayers hit the bleachers with our new Marco Banner and plenty of Cowbells.

Ted, Kat, Chels, and Trev are ready to scream.

Katharine, Jen, and Jeff

As you can see, the green Marco Rocks hats really stand out and dominate the stands!

Marco took a moment out of his busy finish area autographing duties for a quick pic with me! Isn't he dreamy?

Kat and Lizard.

I got to pose with another great DH racer here...the one and only Worm (a.k.a. Jeremy Transue, Josh's brother).

Back to the Fan Club Headquarters for another wild and crazy night of dancing and libations.

And back to the hill the next day, but more appropriately equipped with my new Marco and the Beaver Slayers neck cuzie...a must have for any serious fan because it leaves you with 2 free hands for cowbells and posters!

Jesse with the trumpet and Brock with the drums were a huge added bonus to our cheering section.

The official newspaper clipping from Marco's DNF in the Downhill.

Josh happened to be in CO coaching his athletes at a camp, so he came up to Beaverfest to hang with me/us for a night, yay!

We threw Chelsea a surprise 30th birthday bash the last night...formal attire, wigs optional! It was the best night yet!!

Kat and Chels gettin' silly, what's new?

And then Marco graced his fan club with a guest appearance...nice mullet! How do you fit all that hair under your helmet Marco?


Chelsea did her best to catch us unaware for an impromptu photo...maybe its better if we pose??

Trevor and Liz sporting some hot wigs.

But I think Jean and Errol might get the prize...lookin' hot you two!
