Discordian May Meatup 2011 - LOGISTICS

[navkat]

Too bad I have to be in two different states already on Memorial wknd.

I want to meat you.

I want you to meat me.

Heh.

[Suu]

Considering how this is a month away, we should actually plan stuff.

Is the house even paid for?

[Richter]

Cram can confirm for certains.  IIRC: he threw down the card for it.  People should Paypal him if they haven't already. 

 
We should:
-Bring beer. 
-Games
-Oh yeah, food?  I'm happy to do some mass cooking action, depending what sort of kitchen facilities we have.  If no stoves, we could still do great with a few slow cookers for chili or stew.  If there's a grill or fire pit, we need to use that too.
-Whatever else we end up doing.

[Suu]

I need to grab a bat and a ball, for sure.

And if people can't go that were on the original list, they need to speak up like, now, so we can get the slots filled, like EoC, because I know he wants to come.

Kitchen and grill, check.

[Eater of Clowns]

I spoke with Cram recently, he knows I'm interested and I believe he said Squid and Mr. Squid won't be able to make it.  I'll be hitting him with the cash shortly for a room.

[Suu]

Okay cool.

I don't know if I can pitch in more money if need be. Unfortunately this whole, "NO SCHOOL MONEY FOR SUMMER" isn't exactly conducive to my eating habits, or ability to pay rent for that matter, and I may have to pick up a 3rd part time job to get me through July. Push comes to shove, I may have to bow out.

[Triple Zero]

000 and 000GF are still in, of course

food/kitchen/cooking/etc count me the fuck in, I love cooking not very experienced with BBQ/grill/etc though, but I believe I'll be in the right country to learn that shit authentically IIRC there should indeed be a sort of huge BBQ/grill/device at the house.

We might arrive a bit earlier than most people (?). We've stayed in/around New York the week before that. Then we use public transport to get to Cramulus and drive to Preston with him in his car. That saves us renting a car for the first week

But on Friday (27th) we were going to the Ratskeller, right? Is that still on? (if there's doubts because of said money problems, that's okay--we were going to meet up with a bunch of spags, which will happen anyway).

(The Ratskeller is near Providence, right?)

However that means we are going to drive there on Friday, drink German beers, but we'll need a place to stay for me, 000gf, as well as Cramulus. That was the part I hadn't fully planned through yet..

---

Additionally, we're still looking for places to stay during the two weeks after the Memorial Day weekend--anywhere in the neighbourhood / New England would be fine really, we're just touristing around. Just trying to save on hostel/hotel costs, and of course it's always best to stay with the locals when travelling. Both me and 000gf are nice, clean and housebroken. If you can offer us a place to stay, please send me a PM or post it in this thread (since it's not specifically Memorial Day related, but also really important).

I have space for people to sleep Friday night.  I do NOT have anywhere for a car to park, however, that would need to be worked out.  If the Rathskeller is still on, awesome.  It IS near Providence.  It is the least expensive "go get beer" option that I know of, short of "grab a couple six packs, throw in a movie/grab some card/dice games, and chill."  (This is also an option, here, however, my landlord DOES live directly below me, and has requested that things get quiet around 10 PM, since he has kids trying to sleep.)

I have a futon that sleeps two, my camp cot which will hold two if they're petite and friendly, and a papasan chair that holds one comfortably, if you don't stretch out when you sleep...  So, 4-5 people, before starting to put people on the floor in sleeping bags, and I make NO promises about the hot water for showers in the morning.


ETA:  If you have pet allergies, you're warned, I have two cats, one of which is likely to be very friendly.

[Suu]

I have an extra bed that sleeps 2. No pets, but a lot of sewing crap that may attack you in your sleep.

[Richter]

You know why Suu doesn't have a serger?  Becasue I woke up one night and caught her old serger stroking my hair. 

[Suu]

It was admiring your thread count.

[Richter]

We also have the couch of +3 craching out, and space to leave a car at the Monastery.

We also have the couch of +3 craching out, and space to leave a car at the Monastery.

I can vouch for awesomeness of said couch. But you need to also have warning of overload of cuteness from the inhabiting fuzzballs and, of course, Herbert's Encroaching Stuff™.

I mean, not that my stuff isn't encroaching, but at least there's a method to my madness.

[Nephew Twiddleton]

I'm still down for it, I'll have to figure out what I'm doing on my end. I think Suu offered me a lift but I can't recall.
