RTP (and extended NC area goodjers, where are you?) Spring S&T May 4th

Pages

If you're local, you probably noticed the sun beating down on us the past few days. What does this mean other than a reminder that I have to get the A/C fixed in my van? It means its time to plan another S&T at Quintin Stone & Yellek's house.

Last time it was mid-week in honor of our out of town guest, Paleocon. This didn't work well for those with a drive, or jobs you cared about. We need to set a date! Tell us what dates work in the next few months. Except 4/13 or 6/8, it's pretty open right now.

Saturdays left after I sorted through the responses so far:

April 27
May 4 - second best?
June 1
June 15 - best?
June 22
June 29

Updated topic to try and get more of the extended NC area peeps in here.

Update: picked May 4th!

Friday nights are better for me. I am in transit up north to be with the wife most weekends.

What we have planned for this spring. Everything else is negotiable.

April 16-24: We're all in Wisconsin.
April 25 - May 11: Kaycee and the kids are still in Wisconsin. I'm at home setting up traps for robbers and kidnappers. (I could do a S&T. Kaycee could Skype to my tablet and we could attach it to a dummy.)
May 24-27: WE CAMP! FIRE! BEER!
Jun 7-9: You know this one already.
July: You cray cray. This ain't spring. Time to plan the Summer S&T.

I (+wife) wanna join this time! Weekends are best for us.

We're on vacay 4/12-4/21.
4/26-28: Could work.
5/3-5 & 5/10-12: Best for us!
5/18-19: Doesn't work.

This.

6/7-9: Wife's birthday weekend; no plans yet, though.

I think for this one we'll be doing a Saturday so that the goodjers outside of RTP will have time to get here without being after work Friday. Plus that way we can start earlier in the day, maybe grilling on the deck during daylight hours, and more time to do some gaming throughout the day. Hopefully we can do it on a weekend when your wife is coming down this way to visit?

Not next weekend, please. I'll be, umm... fairly non-ambulatory due to an "elective procedure".

GRS?

I vote not the 11-12 MAY weekend, or Memorial Day weekend. Otherwise any Saturday sounds good.

Given this, I know precisely what you intend. My love for you grows like a gangrenous, suppurating lesion on a boil on the ass of a rabid yak.

I'm not sure boils have lesions.

I'll show up if I can, but my travel schedule is usually up in the air.

Use your imagination.

We're moving late April/early May, so the later the better for us, I think. Other than that, nothing else major going on in May for us, but June is full of all kinds of stuff. So at first glance I'd say anything in May from the weekend of 11-12 on.

Ok, the Saturdays left after I sorted through the responses so far:

April 27
May 4
June 1
June 15
June 22
June 29

Any more opinions about these dates? My preference is April 27 or May 4, so this is your last chance to complain give your input before I just go crazy and pick one.

d'oh, simultaneous posting, so my list didn't take your's into account.

Haha, yeah, April 27th or May 4th would be awful for us, the only thing in June that probably works is the 15th/16th.

Sounds like June 15 is in the running for best choice!

Leaving it open for a bit to see if there are any more votes to come in.

*fixed for embarrassing grammer

I think I can make it from down here in Wilmington on the 15th as well!

June 15th is Free RPG Day at the Friendly Local Game Stores. Any other options that work better? I'll be absent if we do 6/15.

My schedule is pretty fluid right now - I'll come if the chosen date is workable though.

Think we're going to have to bow out tonight. The pollen is exploding my head, and we've gotta prep for our house walkthrough tomorrow.

Wrong thread? I don't think we're hosting anything at our place tonight.

Oh, hah, yeah, I meant the other thing going on tonight. *searches for thread*

GWJ forums are not email.

Also, this is not a shell.

You're my hero, Indian Princess Man.

After some off-board talks it has been decided, May 4th! Details to follow but wanted to get the date out there since its only 2 weeks off.

Woo! Iron Man weekend!

Ok, so this is 1.5 weeks out, can I get a roll call? Who thinks they'll be up for it? I figure we can start in the afternoon, forecast right now is saying sunny and 75. If it holds out that sounds quite nice for grilling out on the deck. We have plenty of space for tabletop gaming, we have a PS3 and other consoles can be hooked up if they're brought. 2 rooms have tvs large enough to use for consoles. We have all the Cards against Humanity expansion packs. A firepit for evening pyromania and s'mores.

What do you wanna do? What do you wanna bring? Who needs a place to crash?

PMs will be sent with address info for people who post in the thread.

Fire!

Imma try to be there. I have skills. Skills that make having a fire-pit an insurance liability.
