I'm thinking no on the sword fights. If someone whips out a sword I'm gonna go get the chain of command.

Hi Zark, How about lassiter?

I'm going to try to make it, but first I've gotta investigate the child care sitch. Having it in the afternoon is brilliant for me because I can party with ya'll and still get back pretty early.

Going to work on it now...oh and Spaceman? Lets talk.

I do recall that I mentioned I live in Mesa. Of course Mesa itself being one of the 50 largest cities in the nation gives a large area to pin down.

Is there any way to e-mail people through this message board? I don't have the e-mail addresses for these folks:

Bikistad
Loafer
Rayston
Bruisersmom

So they're the only ones that I wasn't able to e-mail about the shindig. But they'll probably check these threads, I hope...

what's funny is I work with Rayston, so I can just hand him my address.

hey everyone, carpool if you can if you're from out of the city, you'll probably have more fun on the drive talking with someone else, and you'll help our environment. What am I talking about? I'm not an environmentalist.

Oh and for everyone who was wondering about the time on the firefly meetup board, it's just an amazing coincidence. I had no idea that anyone on the meetup board held a monthly meeting or that they chose 2 PM.

hey haufel here's who has responded to me by email, a couple I can't place, but that may just be me not being all that up on things.

Ha(s)ufel
Nywoe
Beatle (who may think it is too far to go)
Tribes
Dale Thelling (don't know the handle)
Scott Scherberg (who may not make it as he needs a permission slip j/k)
Nopowerintheverse (Who may or may not be dystopia)
Bruisersmom
Rayston (or whatever he calls himself since he works with me)

And Nywoe was threatneing to bring hordes of unspecified people from the board. :)

Nopowerintheverse is dystopia (posted on the 'Versal Board).

Hopefully, one of the ones you mentioned is SpacemanSpiff who's driving down from Flagstaff.

You should get an email from Stowaway_23 who just posted on the OB.

It's sounding great.

Not me - I'm in Tempe. dystopia is looking for a ride, but from the other direction (Tucson). Maybe some Prescottians will be heard from?

I was envisioning things like that capital one commercial. I think barbarian hordes assaulting someone's house would be incredibly funny, just not my house.

thanks again nywoe. You and Haufel have provided great support.

BTW not that I really care very much as I'm not a picture guy, but was someone going to take pics of the browncoats who show for the thing with the people?

Friday, November 19, 2004 8:39 PM

people keep offering to bring stuff. that's kinda sweet. I should ask people to bring me furniture, or maybe some landscaping rock

I'll provide some plastic cups and some Ice, but if'n y'all wants to bring shareables, that's cool, or if you want to bring something for yourself, and guard it to yourself, that's fine too. I may get some apples, grenades cost extra.

Hey Zark, in your emails, did you get an indication of total attendees? I count 10 responses, not counting dystopia, but I'm assuming most won't be solo. I'm expecting to show up with a couple of folks myself. So, maybe we should planning on bringing some folding chairs, or (as you suggested) beanbags?

"May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one."

ZARK1976

Tuesday, November 23, 2004 12:17 AM

BOOYAH! NYWOE Is bringing me landscape rock!!!

Haufel, I'll check I was a bit thrown by Nywoe's 15 people, but let me attempt to check on it and see if my mathematical skills is up to the task of counting.

I may be able to seat 14 on my available seating.

Thursday, November 25, 2004 3:37 AM

Oh okay, I just wanted to make sure you could make it. No, that's okay, I have to do some errands in town, so we'll just have to waste some gas. :)

Thanks, though. Nice to know we have a Browncoat neighbor. :)

Saturday, November 27, 2004 3:45 PM

Zark, did you get an e-mail from someone named Anne? She had said she wanted to come. Just want to make sure she got ahold of you. Also, there was someone from the Universal board with the username "GBar" who expressed interest.

See you guys in a week! I'm excited! Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving.

ZARK1976

Monday, November 29, 2004 4:38 PM

I got an email from gbar. The closest I have to an Anne is Elizabeth Ann Papp.

It was very nice meeting all of you!

Although on the way home, it seemed like I was half-way to L.A. before I realized that I'd missed my exit onto the 101! Hmm, maybe I sub-consciously wanted to be somewhere...

BEATLE

Sunday, December 5, 2004 7:09 AM

It was great to meet all of you too!
Thank you Ryan for allowing us to use your home. And thank you to those that brought the food and food accessories.

As soon as I get the couple of pics I took developed, I'll post a link.

Sunday, December 5, 2004 8:55 AM

I had a shiny time! Thanks, Ryan, for hosting. Enjoy the extra snacks! I'm looking forward to the pictures.

And I made it back to Flagstaff fine, though the Interstate was snowed in somethin' fiece!

Hey, Nywoe! I didn't go to the AZ shindig this time because I was taking care of a friend whose mom was in the hospital. However, next time, if you want to drive over together, I live in LA too.

ZARK1976

Monday, December 6, 2004 4:29 PM

Hey all,

A big thanks to everyone who made it. I think a viewing party where only I showed would have been a little sad. But y'all made a great show of things.

I would have to say that we should do it again, and maybe even have chant sheets to go along with the theme song.

A big thanks to everyone who brought snacks and such, I guess what with it being cold and rainy, the need for ice was lower than I had originally anticipated.

Nywoe, great job with the Chinese snacks, we all now know what chestnuts roasted with sugar and skin peeling off tastes like.

Haufel, Tribes, thanks for bringing more food and beverages than everyone could hope to consume.

Thanks everyone who drove from halfway across the state just to join us, and everyone else who couldn't make it, maybe we'll see you another time.

I'll think about trying to do this again in the coming months.

SPACEMANSPIFF

Tuesday, December 7, 2004 3:36 AM

I think, as an extension of the AZ Shindig and this thread, we should, in the coming months, discuss a mass AZ opening night viewing of the Big Damn Movie. Flag has a nice theater, but probably very few real fans. I'd be willing to drive down to Phoenix if there was to be a coordinated effort by the AZ fans to all go to the same theater at the same showing (or two...or three...).

Oh I don't actually live in L.A. Just the west side of Phoenix. But I missed my exit going home, so it felt like I was half-way to L.A. before I noticed I had to turn around and go back. :)

But I have family in the L.A. area, so if there's ever an L.A. shindig, maybe I'll come visit you! :)

Plus, hey, Disneyland!

NYWOE

Tuesday, December 7, 2004 6:00 AM

Yes, I agree that we need a coordinated Phoenix shindig/ viewing of the BDM.

We can start brainstorming now, and make more definate plans later next year. Plus, I think we should have a Shindig on April 22 to console ourselves so we won't all be sitting at home alone and lonely... :(

Saturday, December 11, 2004 2:25 AM

Hey, who was it that took those pictures at the Shindig? Spacemanspiff, was that you?

Saturday, December 11, 2004 3:44 PM

Cool, thanks!

That's weird. I was able to change my e-mail address here... Do you have it set up to automatically log you in? That could be the problem, if the automatic log-in is using your ASU address still.

That's so cool that you're living where the action is! Do you ever visit the Fox messageboard? I've been envious of the LA folks who have been out BDH-hunting. :)

I've never looked for any stars. I've never bought a star map or anything. I wouldn't want to spook Sean or Jewel on the street because I was looking for them. If I were them, it would be scary.
