Park Voting Thing

Winter Park. Assuming there is snow by finals (there should be) we will do Winter Park.

Finals last from Jan 26th - Jan 28th. Each day we get released at about 11:15 (varies by school). We have no school on Jan 29th (a friday).

We can do winter park on Jan 28th after finals
OR
We can do winter park on Jan 29th (any time)

Vote. Now. Or else I'll pick randomly and nobody has any right to complain.

PS. To: APUSH class. Go respond to my blog post on the APUSH website. I wanna debate this!!

Tuba's Idea

Tuba is planning a winter gettogether. I am posting for him because he can't get on the computer.
Date: Between 12/21 & 12/23.
Time: Sometime after 12:00 - 4/5pm
Place: Hines Park.
Bring: Your own sled.
Activity: Sledding, etc.
Transport: Get a ride
RSVP: Contact Tuba by phone, email, IM, or brick through his window and tell him what day is better for you.

End of post.

Big Schedule w/ Imp. PS.

Hey Everyone! Well, fall park was great. Now I have a general schedule update for y'all.

I just got off the phone with Tuba about future events. I don't want to plan too far ahead-that doesn't work-but I do want to try to make the events fair - as in, a balance between what everybody likes to do. Tuba has something he wants to plan during Xmas break and winter park is, of course, a must. Here is what I think our schedule will be:
1) Ltag: late Nov. MAY BE CANCELLED (see comment)
2) Tuba's thing: late Dec/early Jan - talk to him.
3) Winter Park: Jan. after finals - 28th or 29th

Since both Winter Park & Tuba's Thing are outdoors (tuba will update you in a couple of days), SOME OF YOU may wish to plan something else between the two. If so, fine, but, personally, I like it how it is. To help everyone, here is what I know of when people are not free:
1) Me/Hungry - youth group: Sun. before 3.
2) Tuba: Sat. bad during the day.
3) Gabe: Mornings bad - wrestling.
4) Dan: Bowling @ some point. Fri? (edit this dan, pls).
5) Gen: 2:30-3:30 on school days (extra activity probs).
6) Stephany: Any time.

I suggest referring to this for a gen. idea of what's going on if you wish to plan something or change something or give feedback on something. FEEDBACK WANTED!

PS. Imp. Business: From here on out don't bother IMing me for group stuff - I'm not online much. Use email or phone. ALSO: I check my email in the morning & around 8/9:00 or bedtime(if i'm home late) so keep that in mind. If you call me, I'll pick up if I'm home; if not, I might not get the message until the next afternoon.

Bowling 10/31

Oct. 8th - This is it whether I like it or not.

Transport: Get your own please.
Conference: You may get there about 15 min. early if necessary.
Band: Eat/wtvr before you get to Dan's house.
Chem: Call me immediately.
Business: Before Vgames. I claim the right to a fair trial and an attorny and for the jury to listen while I say my piece.
Anything else: If you have a problem, call me.
Park: November if I get adequate interest.

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.

October 8th

Hey y'all,
We have no school Oct. 8th. What should the group do? Please put suggestions in a comment. If you cant comment for some reason contact me by my normal email or phone. DONT HIT THE REPLY BUTTON (ahem, Burke). I WILL NOT GET THE MESSAGE FOR MANY MONTHS.

I'll post what we're going to do later once I've heard from you people.

-Jessica-
