Discordian May Meatup 2011 - LOGISTICS

[The Good Reverend Roger]

some couch people have been bumped into rooms.

When we get there, we will have to see whether or not the cost is going up for everybody. It's a good thing there's a lot of you because SIX count em SIX people have canceled so far.

Warned you about that, IIRC.  We went from 20 people here to 12.

Where are we at, now, if it's cost/10 people?  Ballpark is fine, just rough planning.

[Suu]

Keep my fucking money. I don't care.

[LMNO]

I do.  How much is Suu's share?  I'd like her to keep the lights on, fed, and the internet connection maintained. 

[Nephew Twiddleton]

Suu, what would you think about me covering part of what you owe, give it to you when I come down to Providence, and then I'll duck out myself? I could always meet up with you guys for a little bit in both Providence and Boston while both Trip and Schwarzkirchtorte are here.

[Suu]

There's no reason to duck out. It'll just piss off Cram more after what Roger and I already warned him about months ago.

It's not that I don't want to go, it's just that it's not financially fucking responsible of me to do it. Then again, neither was World's Fair, as the hotel was kind enough to suck a deposit off of my card I wasn't prepared for. I'll get that back in a few days, but that's not the point...

I feel like FUCKING SHIT that I have to duck out, trust me, but I'll still be at the bar on Friday. It's not like I planned to lose my job, I was planning to actually alter my life to start working full time. Well, fuck them.

[Nephew Twiddleton]

Ok. I'll have to find out what I owe now, and who I'm riding with.

This, if it's not too much trouble. I may need to hit the bank for more cash to pass you when I arrive.

[Eater of Clowns]

Guess what - I'M IN!  In fact I'm SO IN that you're going to have to beat me with sticks to keep me away, THAT'S HOW IN I AM.

Sorry for dragging my feet so much, I know it's a pain in the dick.

SO, it's in 3 days.  What can we all bring/contribute?

[Richter]

EOC: OK

I have been writing this shit out while at work (not posting)

Camp chairs if you got 'em.  Spaces to site are never bad.
Games
Music

Food: I think we'll make a grocery run once we're there.  Does anyone have any dietary requirements or food allergies we should know?
So far I'm semi-head planning meals to include a non-meat bit (more serious than salad and bread), but speak up before the run if you want tofuburgers, non lactose/non gluten, vegan,  or some such.  (in fact, you better come along to make sure we mooks don't fuck it up.)

I will bring kitchen implements too.

Beer: Don't know if this warrants a keg, but maybe everyone contribute a 6 pack, or drink of choice, and some of us can pony up for more generic option?
(bigass sangria, 30 rack of common beers, etc?)
(If this is heresy, say so plz.)

[Luna]

I've got paper plates and plastic cups.  We're gonna want plastic utensils.  Site says the place is stocked with service for eight, so if we don't bring more, we're gonna be sharing forks.

Mushroom allergy, here.  Nothing fatal, I'll just wish it was.

I refuse to eat aquatic life forms, they offend me. Happy eating vegetarian, happy eating warm blooded land creatures. Totally cool with spicy as Circle 6 of the Inferno, if that is a question of preparation.

Booze, I'm cool with BYOB. I could buy a bunch of Gansetts and cheap brandy and/or whiskey on the way and I'd be cool with that. Granted, those aren't my top choices, but, good booze can make a dent. If I have enough to spare, I would be willing to throw in for something a bit more palatable too.

[Suu]

Probably for the best I'm not going, I'm allergic to almost everything and can't trust you spags worth a damn to not feed me cow, plus, the Shoggoth has decided that it wants to come out and play 2 weeks early, good thing I'm going to the doctor tomorrow.

Other than that, yes, laid off. Yes, it sucks, and I appreciate everyone who has sent me messages asking what they could do and if they could pitch in moneys...it's all a nice gesture guys, but the answer is no. Yes, Cram already has my money, I will work with him to get it back.  I need to pay rent next week, and frolicking and pissing away my once-disposable income this weekend isn't the best way to deal.

I could deal with this one of two ways, the most obvious is the "get blind drunk with your friends" way, but the correct motorcycle is, "Get your money back, hide it under your mattress, and go see DF, because he's practically suicidal this week after his ceiling collapsed/tire fell off car/fender bender (yeah that now, too) and it will cost you a quarter of what it will cost to rent the inn."

I've seen you all before, I even know where most of you LIVE. Triple Zero and Torte are crashing with me on and off for the duration of their stay in New England, so I'll have plenty of time to play tour guide and hang out with them. I adore you all, but right now, the best thing for me this weekend is to *sigh* be an adult, save my money, go see my chewtoy in NH, and relax.

I will be sending a Royal Decree with The Deacon Richter to be read on Sunday morning. You all have been warned.

Is all good.

when I get settled wherever I end up, I'll come down to Providence and get you a beer.

I look forward to the decree (non-binding on me, as I'm representing the Barony of Greater Roxbury as opposed to the Principality )

[Cramulus]

I'm bummed you won't be able to make it, suu -- but I totally understand. Send DF the best rejuvenation wishes from we spags - perform the Turkey Curse on our behalf. No that probably won't help. Perform the Titty Curse* instead.

For those of you who sent money and aren't coming - I will gladly refund you! I've been procrastinating on that because my paypal is a mess (lots of small transactions in/out over the past months), so I need to sit down and figure out exactly how much cash has come from who, who still owes money, that sort of thing.


EOC! Glad you're in! We is gonna have such a good time. I'm all tingly thinking about it.




*_{It's very similar to the Turkey Curse but there's actually something to gobble gobble gobble.}
