Worriers have been on my list for a long time and have frequently popped up on various playlists. When I heard that they were coming to town (and for $10), I thought, "Fucking finally! A show worth seeing in Denver for cheap at a smaller venue was one not to be missed."

I was excited that Kasey found me in the networking tangle. At first, I thought it was an inbox solicitation. But when my probing reply returned a legit response, I saw it as something I should attend. Glad I did.
Hosted at Galvanize, the event was well done. Very in-vein of SXSW meetups. (get what I did there? snoogins. only kidding) Eventbrite sign-up/sign-in, say hi and thanks to hosts, go grab a beer (good beer) and some noshies, mingle before the agenda kicks in, start with an opener, then into a panel, more beer and hang-out time, now get the fuck out. Combine that with hip, sociable, tech-nerds and you get a good formula to fit in, learn, and leave wanting more. I did.

Background. Nobody knocks on the private bathroom door at work. They just yard on the handle. Maybe multiple times. And it’s repeated by the same people that are unable to take the feedback of when a door is locked, it doesn’t open. Furthermore, when the door is locked, that means someone’s in there. We’ve even put a big sign next to the handle PLEASE KNOCK.
Now in their defense, we had another issue with the lock. The appearance of the button to lock the door from the inside seems to be one that you twist. However, when they installed it – its only typical use serves as a push button. It’s alternative use is to more permanently lock the door requiring a key. So for a couple years, people would twist the lock to lock the door while they were using it. Because the lock was twisted, it didn’t automatically pop out when the person using the bathroom twisted the handle to exit. So the door would stay locked requiring the use of a key. I’ll even give one more defense, the lock that was installed could have had an indicator green “Vacant” or red “Occupied” to visually help the user. But, that wasn’t what was purchased and it would cost more money to replace.
Now onto the video. Assumptions were made here that weren’t stated.

#1 – Fun is number 1!
If you’re not having fun, stop. Even in the training. You need to make sure that even through the work, the want, the will, the fight, you are having fun.
#2 – Just be you.
Remember why you climb. You’re doing this for you. No one else. When you’re up there on the sharp end and seconds seem like hours. When you are outside, just to be outside. Climb because you want to and not because you’re trying to be someone or something else. Do what you want and love doing it.
#3 – Safety third.
We know that it’s always in the forefront of our minds. So keep it there. Don’t let it be the first thing and get in the way of having fun, trying hard, and sending. But always keep it in your top 3. Your top 3 are all equals. They’re just ordered this way.
