Feeling out the masses...

[weegoddess.livejournal.com]

Ok, now that I have your attention...;-D

J and I have confirmation that our tent is accessible (thank you gosling and ceo!!) and thus we won't be needing to borrow one. kimberlogic has graciously offered to lend us pillows/sheets/blankets. We have an inflatable mattress that we can bring over but would be nice to not need to shlep it across der pond. Also, J will be returning the car LI afterwards but I am free to hitch a ride back to MA if'n there's space.

So:

- does anyone have an extra inflatable mattress (double-sized would work but queen would be perfect)
- is there anyone who might have a tiny space that I could squeeze into for the ride back to MA and could deposit me at sunspiral and roozle's? (they will likely have a very full car and not much space for extra passengers)*

- is there anything else I forgot, equipment-wise or otherwise?



* J says that someone can tie me to the hood and say that it's Redhead Season.

Howdy. We'd be very happy to return you to Melrose on Sunday. We have plenty of room, just hadn't gotten around to posting on the rideshare board yet. We might even get to *talk* to each other on the ride! :-)

[weegoddess.livejournal.com]

WOOT!! Thank you! That in itself would be worth any effort!! I miss our talks.

;-(

I'm glad to hear that you'll be there all weekend too.

i will not be there, but we have a king sized air mattress that you can use if we can figure out getting it to you... *hugs*

[weegoddess.livejournal.com]

Eep! You won't be there? I was so hoping to catch up with you!

I'm afraid that a king-size might not fit in a 4-person tent. I seem to remember that our queen fits in there perfectly.

Since I will be in SF, my double airmattress is at your service!

[weegoddess.livejournal.com]

You won't be there either? Oh, the sadness. You are one of the people I was most happy to get to know at the last one and I was hoping to see you. But you know that your old haunts are waiting for you here at Hogwarts.

As for your double air mattress offer, that sounds great! If someone offers a queen, we'll likely take that, but I'll bring it up with BOB (Beast of Burden) and see if he would rather carry a queen or borrow a double.

[weegoddess.livejournal.com]

He says that he would rather borrow your double than carry our queen. Might it be possible to send it along with someone? Like qwrrty and keyne? And would we need anything special to inflate it?

Many thanks!

[weegoddess.livejournal.com]

Has there been a plan as to how we'd be able to get hold of this/get it back to you? If you feel that it would be logistically difficult, let us know. We can still carry ours with us if we have to.

:-)

[omegabeth.livejournal.com]

How about I pass it to Tim? He can plan to bring it unless you tell him otherwise.

[weegoddess.livejournal.com]

Sounds good to me! Let me know if there's any trouble with this plan or if Tim won't be showing up on Friday, preferably let me know before the 18th so's we can carry our bed with us if we have to.

[weegoddess.livejournal.com]

It just occurred to me: how does your mattress inflate? We have a Coleman mattress inflator (battery-operated). Should we bring it?

[omegabeth.livejournal.com]

It comes with a plug-in pump--I do not know what the facilities are at this new space, but two years ago that was not a problem. And, Qwrrty has agreed to bring it for you!

[weegoddess.livejournal.com]

Exellent!! Thanks again!!

BWAH! :D

Make sure they provide some aviator goggles if they try that one, as the wind at 50 MPH REALLY dries out your eyes,

[weegoddess.livejournal.com]

And you know this because...?

[halleyscomet.livejournal.com]

Well, we only got up to 30 or 40 Mph, and my eyes weren't the only ones stinging, so I'm just assuming 50mph would be worse.

I wasn't strapped to the car at the time, but leaning out of it having a light saber duel on route 30 in Indiana. There were about six cars involved, and at least two duels going on at any given moment.

The fact that the highway was only two lanes wide really limited us and prevented a three car wide battle swath.

We were all glad I had some eye drops in my dorm room. IT was a new bottle and it ended up pretty much empty after one evening. The only person who didn't have dry, stinging eyes was the guy in the Darth Vader costume, but the rest of the costume really limited his movements. The cape trailing in the wind looked cool though.

[weegoddess.livejournal.com]

Ok, that explanation was even cooler than I expected.

I <3 my tribe. ;-D

Geekery has it's benefits.

Now there's an image. Might be a while before you got on the road, though. ;-)

[weegoddess.livejournal.com]

Nice icon, baby.

Thanks for braving the attic to grab our tent. We do really hope to have some time to catch up with you guys.

It's always redhead season.

They're not the prey, tho...

[weegoddess.livejournal.com]

Heheheheheh. You, being married to one, understand this better than most.

[and gee I wish there were more folks like you around here]
