THE PARK IS CANCELED

The park is hereby canceled until further notice. Why:
1) 2 hrs is not enough (& thats what it ends up being)
2) Everybody wants to come at different times -> Fail.
3) Merribowl messes up the ENTIRE THING. In the future, please do not change stuff drastically like that. I do not appreciate working hard on a plan and then having everyone run off to do something else without telling me until the last minute. If y'all would have told me when I (ahem) asked for Oct. ideas I wouldn't have put all that effort into the park. I would have either planned bowling (its not like I hate bowling) or nothing. This was a mess and I do not appreciate having no organization and nobody knowing what they're doing the day beforehand. Now i get to cancel the entire event and sit waiting for people to contact me when I should be biking or doing MACP or something equally fun/useful. I'm not liking this. I was gonna stay at the park by myself for awhile (which is fine if I get a decent time @ park w/ friends), except that now we're not gonna be there for hardly any time so theres no point. This is out of control.
4) There's a fair chance of rain anyway and I'm just done dealing with problems up to and including rain.
5) I'm gonna talk to Dan about whether to implement the rain day Vgame plan or not. I don't like this, but it's necessary.
6) I will post again with details about whatever the heck we're doing once I find out. Y'all might want to check this late tonight.
7) I'm aiming for a park in Nov - either the 3rd or during Thanksgiving break as a replacement. If this happens, I am setting the day and IF YOU DON'T WANT TO COME FOR THE WHOLE THING DONT EXPECT ME TO CHANGE IT. I will work around band though, of course. This wont happen if I don't get enough interest, but it would be nice to have a fall park.
8) I know this is really long and I'm sorry but I wanted everything to be crystal clear.
-A very irritated Jessica who is still waiting to find out whats going on-

Oct. 8th Voting RESULTS

Hi Everyone:
The results are in from the voting for 10/8:
4 votes for Vgames VS 0 votes for Ltag and two nonvoters (gabe and dan)
VGAMES WINS BY A LANDSLIDE
3 votes for Park VS 3 votes for Minigolf. TIE.
However, Gabe's vote likely wont count cuz he likely cant come. See previous post's comments for details.
Also, I didn't vote. You all know I will vote park. Sorry.
WE WILL BE DOING PARK OR VGAMES (assuming dan plans his own suggestion - i sure aint planning vgames).

I will be planning the final info presently.
-Jessica-
PS. The next thing I plan that is in good weather will be minigolf - just remind me cuz I'll probably forget.
PPS. PLEASE READ THE COMMENTS

Oct. 8th Final Voting

OK, thanks to all of you that commented or had me comment for you. We've got two options: fall park or minigolf. Please vote. If you do not vote you are not allowed to complain if we do something you don't like.

If it rains the two options are Vgames @ Dan's or Ltag. Please vote on this too.

So post or comment or contact me with whether you'd rather do park or minigolf, and if you'd rather do Vgames or Ltag if it rains. The deadline for voting is FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 25th. After that I'll plan it and call/talk to everyone.

-Jessica-

PS. I know this is a different format than usual and requires more work on y'alls part. Sorry about that, but too bad.

Summer Park...V3. Again.

Hi Everyone:
I have officially decided that we are jinxed when it comes to the park. But, being perpetually obstinate, I am going to keep trying until it actually works. So here's the new information:
When: July 20th. Monday. 11am-4pm.
Where: The usual park.
To bring: Lunch (disposable). Water bottles labeled w/ initials.
Not to bring: Anything not mentioned above. Remember, I am providing ONE backpack that the entire group will switch off carrying for half hour segments. So don't bring a backpack.
Transport: Get a ride, bike, hire a DHM. Whatever.
People: Me, Hungry, Dan, Martin, Burke, Gabe, Tuba.
Weather: Now they're saying mostly sunny w/ 10% chance of rain. Hm...If it does rain on the 20th (our luck), we automatically reschedule for the 21st. If it rains the 21st too, we reschedule for the 22nd. Etc.
Note: For more details, scroll down to my original post about a summer park.
-Jessica-
PS. Martin is bringing a spear. I don't know what that means and he wont tell me. Whatever.
PPS. The days we arent at the park, we're doing E. See Dans post.
