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.

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.

Life of e

This is Dan
What: Video shoot of Life Of Pi except it will be called "Life of e" (explanation is below)
Where: My house
When: 21st-24 from 1-5. come as many days as you want; Jessica, you should come as many as possible. Sorry Klovski, I know this is when you are on vacation, but it's the best time to do this
Who: Anyone in the group who's read Life of Pi.
Why: Because it's fun
More info coming soon.
Also call me if you want to come. Don't Just Show up.
I got most props for Life of e: A canoe for a lifeboat, many stuffed animals, etc.

Anyway

It's life of e. e is a mathmatical number just like pi. It is represented by the formula
e = lim (n --> +infinity) (n + 1/n) ^n.
Now that probably doesn't mean anything to you guys so I'll just tell you it's 2.718281828... and it's irrational. Anyway, his name will be e.

park rescheduled AGAIN! NOOOOO

Hi Everyone:
THE PARK HAS BEEN CANCELED (again) DUE TO RAIN! I have no idea when I'm going to reschedule, so keep an eye on the blog and I'll let you know the info when I get it. In the meantime, I'll do another event thingy on the 19th to replace the park.
When: Friday the 19th from 1:00pm-4:00pm
Where: My house.
Who: Whoever can.
Okay, I'll post again when I get the info,

Summer Park! :) - V6

Hi Everyone: (Check back for updates!)
I've been working on a park which, as y'all know, is the one get-together I really put effort into. This park is going to be different than usual though. We're doing a park exploration. Ask me for details. Here's the info:
What: Park. See above.
When: Thursday, June 11th. 11:30-4:00. We'll enter the woods @ 11:45. If you can't get there by 11:45 TELL ME BEFOREHAND.
Where: Same park as usual.
Chaperone: None.
To Bring: You definitely need to bring bottled water for yourself, clothes/shoes that can get dirty, and food. I suggest two bottles of H2O. LABEL THE WATER BOTTLE WITH YOUR INITIALS! I will bring a backpack that everyone will switch off carrying - we'll carry it in shifts. I will also provide a compass and a basic map.
Not to Bring: Don't bring a bunch of stuff you don't need unless you want to carry it around for four hours. That includes school stuff. Either drop your school stuff off home, leave it in the car, or don't bring any to school (hello? finals?)
Food: Bring a bag lunch - everything MUST be disposable. No containers, icepacks, or lunchboxes
Transport: Get a ride. I suggest carpooling or biking directly from school.
People: Me, Hungry, Dan, Martin, Gabe, Burke, Tuba. That's ALL.
Weather: Hopefully there will be good weather. If not, I will probably be rescheduling for Friday the 19th.
-Jessica-
P.S. This is THE LAST thing I am planning until next school year, minus a euchre thing(IP). Y'all are on your own, though I will help micromanage stuff if you want.

May Stuff - The Official Movie Info! V8

Hi Everyone:
What: X-Men Origins - Wolverine. A movie.
When: 5/29/09. AMC 20 changed their showtimes as of LAST NIGHT (ugh eggs) so now the time is messed up. It starts at 6:10pm. Get there as early as dinner will allow (although following the 30 minute rule is no longer a requirement). You MUST be able to get there at least by 6:00. Once two people are there, one person will go find seats while the other person waits for everyone else to get there. Meet by the ticket booth in the lobby.
Cost: $10.00 per ticket.

People: Me, Hungry, Gabe, Dan, Burke, Tuba, Martin.
Transportation: If you need a ride, contact Kristi.

Stuff2

Hi everyone: Forget the weird box.net thing. Just forget it. Apparently you have to make an account or whatever and that's just stupid. Here's the new plan: If you want a copy of the brainstorm list (AKA if you're planning on ... planning ... something), please email me. DO NOT hit the reply button - send the email to my regular email.
Alright: The brainstorm list is a list of all the plan ideas I can think of (I'm sick of doing laser tag and Vgames over and over...And although I'd be quite happy to go to the park every couple of days, I'm sure most people don't feel that way). It includes several things that we haven't done before that I've heard about other people doing. It also includes some large scale projects. IF you want it and decide to plan one of the things that we've never talked about doing before, PLEASE talk to the group about it first - some of the ideas I'm not sure about. I'm not even sure if I'd like all of them. Or you can request the file (even if you don't want to plan anything) and then send me/tell me a list of whatever activities you DON'T want to do.

Thank y'all. And again, ignore the box.net thing. Sorry about that.
-Jessica-
PS. I probably won't be planning anything for a little while. Because I won't be home much until the last weekend in May. That weekend I was thinking about planning something, but I'd really rather take a break for a while. I have other things I'd like to micromanage.

Awesome Bloing Gloing V2

I was bored in computer math and created a Visual Basic program that displays Boing Gloing bouncing very fast.

Email me if you want it.

What I did is I put it on the scheduled tasks so that when my mom logged on, it showed up. It was awesome! Here's how to do this

For XP:

Enter the user profile you want it to run in
Click Start
Go to Control Panel
Select Scheduled Tasks
Double Click Add Scheduled Task
Click OK to go to the next screen
Click the Browse Button
Find the BG exe and click on it and hit Open
Choose the option "When I log in"
Ignore the password stuff and hit next
Check the checkbox "Open advanced properties when I hit finish"
Click Finish
If you get an error, that's OK. Click OK.
The advanced properties window opens.
Check the checkbox "Run only if I'm logged on"
Hit OK
Log off and log on to see if it works

To remove the task

Open Scheduled Tasks again
Right click on the BG task
Click delete on the pop up menu

Most of you guys have XP. If you have Vista, email me and I'll tell you how to do it

To stop Bloing Gloing once he starts!!!

1. You must have another program open (Ex. Paint, Word, this internet site, anything) unless you are running Vista.
2. Press Alt-Tab.
3. Immediately after, press Alt-F4. (If you looked at this information between steps 2 and 3, you must restart step 2)
4. Bloing Gloing should disappear.

To everyone who's helping with the Caesar Project: There's been some scheduling problems we finally have the accurate info:
1st Rehearsal: Monday, April 27th. 6:30/7:00pm - 8:30pm.
2nd Rehearsal: Wednesday, April 29th. 2:30pm - 4:30pm. My mom will drive us from school, but get a ride home.
3rd Rehearsal: Thursday, April 30th. 6:3/7:00pm - 8:30pm.

1. All rehearsals are being held at MY HOUSE. If you need directions, email me.
2. Gabe is coming on Monday, so hopefully we can finish his section that day.
3. Don't forget your camera, props, and script.

Thanks everyone for helping out!

This is Dan. I'll try to do the subtitles like Jessica does:
What: Video gaming at my house
When: 1:00 to 5:00 on 3/29.
Who: Me, Jessica, Tuba, Franklin, Gabe, Burke. Green = coming. Hungry can't come. Franklin doesn't know, because of a big LA project (remember the 100 years into the future?) And Burke is 90% sure he can come.

NO BUSINESS (unless it's urgent or something)!
What to bring: Bring your TI 84+s if you want. NO DARWIN AWARDS
