13th Annual Rehash Bash and Other End of the Winter Carnival Festivities
Sunday, January 31, 2010
Newell Park Pavilion
900 N. Fairview Ave.
Saint Paul, MN 55104
11:30am-2:30pm
The 13th Annual Rehash Bash will be held on Sunday, January 31, 2010, at Newell Park, from 11:30am to 2:30pm. As always, its a potluck, and since we\'ve got the building, there will be plenty of power indoors for crock pots. Donations will be accepted to cover the $136 cost for renting the facility. MrMnMikey has some door prizes available. Since this isn\'t Super Bowl Sunday this year, if people want to stick around past the 2:30 closing time, we can start a fire in one of the fire rings.
In addition, many of us long-time Coolerheads are loyal servants of Vulcanus Rex. Join us for the Vulcan Victory Torchlight Parade, followed by the Vulcan Victory Dance. Information on the Parade Route is from the 2006 Vulcan Krewe. The best places for viewing the parade are going to be at the end of the parade route, as His Majesty, Vulcanus Rex LXXIII, the true King of the Winter Carnival, overthrows that other guy on the steps of the St. Paul Central Library, across from Rice Park

When January’s slanting snow,
Makes us dream of Mexico
St. Paul emerges from Wintery sleep
To search for treasure buried deep
Notice to every hunting battalion,
We have hidden the Pioneer Press Medallion
Where? You ask in husky shout,
That’s for us to know, and you to find out
Turn off the tube, leave your hovel
Grab your walking stick and shovel,
Whether you be giant or runt,
The only way is to join the hunt
For to the hunter belongs the spoil,
Hunt by day, or Midnight oil,
Hunt in boot and sturdy glove,
Hunt with pal, or old true love
For you who hunt each and every year,
We raise a lusty St. Paul cheer
“Good Luck”
And now, let us be blunt,
Get off thy duff, and hunt, hunt, hunt

All hail, O Fire King, of thee we sing
Thy blast of winter heat scorches
When ice was like concrete it would\'ve been so sweet
If the Vulcans plowed with their torches
Emerge from the den as we once again
Offer a bodacious bounty
And this tip to the frozen: bring thick lederhosen
To public land in Ramsey County
Clue #1 Video
Hear ye all crews, now come the clues
For this task I am the Czar
With each rhyming gift, this shape I will shift
Listen well to each avatar
Kissed by a Vulcan, she left him sulkin\'
\"Sir Soot, I\'ll not forgive these sins!\"
Her airs Elizabethan, her language, bleepin\' heathen,
Our mother once blessed us with twins.
Look high, look low, wherever you go
Follow a picturesque route
There are ways to travel away from the gravel
That keep you in hot pursuit
Code by Morse should set your course
To long dashes that dot the landscape.
You or your avatar should park your car
On your way to this great escape.
Take a westerly tack up from the stack,
A landmark most uncouth.
Figures grand in scale point to a trail
Of footprints left by our sleuth.
You\'ll want to go shopping where things are hopping
And storeowners once dropped anchor
Go down the main drag, but be sure not to lag,
You\'ll have plenty for which to thank her
Escape your troubles where the water bubbles
Or gurgles like a stream.
You may be chargin\' right up to the margin.
Look for a productive seam.
Down on the delta where there\'s no ice to melta
The purple horde raids a golden legion
Today before kick off the prize you\'ll pick off
If you search in just the right region
To find the seed, energy you need
In search for your clues to glean
What once was planted is taken for granted
Stored in one of fifteen
Not far from stones and ancient bones
Lay clues that are fit for Jim
Lure the egrets to yield all secrets
And you should satisfy him
Get your kicks by hitting the bricks
Admiring the trees and view
Be ever glad hopping pad to pad
Like amphibians in\'52
Stonehenge tumbled down near a crumbled town
Not far from the lights of the city
If you would hike away from the pike
You might stumble on something pretty
Upstream from the landing lay a place in good standing
Where people prayed, God willin\'
Now midst the cocklebur and rusted spur
Is nothing by murder and killin\'
This park is a sliver, from ancient beds to a river
In neither is the prize to be found
Look for the goods among timber and woods
Do not dig in the fossil ground
Go for a lark in Lilydale Park
Between Water Street and the river
The city boundary sign and the old rail line
Define the zone that will deliver
You\'re outside the pale if you\'re close to the rail
It\'s not to be found near the tracks
Be nice and cooperative, respect private property
On public land launch your attacks
Within this area lies medallion hysteria
A tangle near the river - not too close!
About four dozen paces from the waterline to places
Where you should tromp, dig and freeze your nose
Slog, welcome our new fiends, and ignore green - most o'the time.
Our Theme Song
by Allison Wonderland and Ares
In a dark winter snowfall, cold frost in my hair
Warm smell of hot coffee, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
I dropped my shovel and put down my Guide so I could track through the white.
There she sat on a snow mound; With her laptop and cell
And I was thinking to myself, 'This could be Heaven or this could be Hell'
Then she pulled up the website and she showed me the way
There were voices there in every post, I thought I heard them say...
Welcome to the Hotel Coolerfornia
Such a lovely place such a lovely place In this Medallion Race
Plenty of room at the Hotel Coolerfornia
Any time of year, any time of year you can find it here
Their minds are treasure hunt-twisted, they're tracking all the clues' trends (ugh).
There's a lot of crazy, crazy folks, and they're all friends.
How they noodle the clues, thinking they're set.
But the mistakes they made last year, they tend to forget
So I emalied the Sysop, 'Please don't make me whine'
He said,'We haven't had a monitor here since nineteen ninety nine'
And still those voices are calling from far away,
Keep you up in the middle of the night Just to hear them say...
Welcome to the Hotel Coolerfornia
Such a lovely place In this Medallion race
They're huntin' it up at the Hotel Coolerfornia
What a nice surprise, if they find the prize.
Buttons on the dresser, Leftover boxes of fried rice
And she said 'We are all just prisoners here, of our own device'
And there on the Cooler boards, They've gathered, now they're stuck
They noodle it with their crazy thoughts, But they just can't find the puck.
Last thing I remember, I was Reaching for the drawer
I had to find the map back To the place I dug before
'Relax,' said the huntress, In spotters you will believe.
You can logout any time you like, but you can never leave.
well, I do see rather profound ideas!
Eli is quite handsome LabLover!
That's a great cooler song!
Ian wrote the the first one and the 'she' was focused on me as I got The Cooler Crew and a site for them going. This version is better as it represents all of us.
Bottom line - you can check out, but you can never
leave.
I do think Ian's words about the door or whatever that one went through - had something to do with computers - was really great.
Some of his best stuff was lost.
What girl is that SuesCrew?
And I was thinking to myself, 'This could be Heaven or this could be Hell'
Flippin' great!
:smile:

Here's another interesting link. Shows horse track, union park, etc...
That song makes me smile for so many reasons.
Notice the wooden sidewalks and places to water cattle and horses? Wow!
There is Centeral, Como and I can't think of the name, and that big park with woods that St Paul use to own, then sold it to Roseville. It Its between Dale and Victoria, Larpentur and Somewhere before B. There is a Roma Avenue that runs into these woods.
Remeber our Night Watchman, Casey? Poor sot. Had to deal with all the crap.

don't know if this has been posted or if anyone really knows this ...
most of St. Paul lies on Silt, Gravel, Boulders, Sand & Clay
Parks like Phalen and Como are on gravel. The islands are not truely islands but sandbars.... no gravel.
Just heading down to the Y now! heh
I have a bbbig feeling there are gonna be 100's in line tonight. saw a lot out in the park I like and I think they are all headed to the paper!
