Muddy Buddy 2009 by Rani Freeman
Muddy Buddy is a pretty big trademark event and quite the production.  They apparently hold several of these events all over the country, and  REI hosted the packet pick-up.  The MB folks had almost half of the entire downstairs filled with their merchandise.  There were caps, hats, t-shirts, sweat shirts, on and on.  I kind of figured it was going to be a big deal by the cost of the registration (around $90 per person).
