blathercon_questionaire death of a rose okay people....us bigwigs have to know certain things about the ones who would attend the very realistic upcoming blathercon 2004. and maybe i'm beating a dead equine but, since i am the current incarnation of the personal relations department, i need to have some answers so i can send a memo to the other blathercon departments. i need an email from yall, confirming your attendance, if you haven't already received e-mail from me or don't have my addy here it is "medeathofarose@yahoo.ca or alternatively you can e-mail blathercon-subscribe@yahoogroups.com. the bigwigs are firming up the exact dates of blathercon as you read this, but let it be known that july and august is the time span at the moment. 031125 ... Death of a Rose misstree, can you confirm or deny my following conclusions. DEFINITE ATTENDEES (13): R.O. Me You Girl_Jane freak seventeen lemon_soda dafremen jane bespeckled piso mojado once again bandersnatch NOT ATENDING (2): p2 celestias shadow MAYBES (6): x nom paste grindmath minnisota_chris silentbob 031125 ... Death of a Rose oops.... MAYBES (7): add endless desire 031125 ... not attending user24 :( 031125 ... Death of a Rose rascal 24 :-O 031125 ... Death of a Rose but i do wish you could jet over for it...and believe me if i had the money, i'd pay for every international skite (except the terrorist ones, you will have to go through rigourous and highly embarrassing investigations before we deem you worthy to come to blathercon 2004) to attend. and hey, you never know, i might hit the lottery and do just that. 031125 ... death of a rose it has been requested that we set up some dates to do some brainstorming (time(s) and date(s)).... need input people 031125 ... no reason probably not coming: me. 031125 ... . . 031125 ... REAListic optimIST ok, after some preliminary research, i have discovered the following possibly blathercon 2004 coinciding events: june 18-20, park blocks arts festival (not as cool as it sounds imo) july 1-4, waterfront blues festival (always cool, but timing??) july 24-26, brewer's festival (sample different microbrews on waterfront) august 7-8, mt. hood jazz festival (this is VERY cool, but tix would be needed) well, let me know if you people want to have the con coincide with any of these events!! 031125 ... . ... 031126 ... . ? 031126 ... misstree i lurves me some blues. chicagoan, it's in my blood. chemicals from the lake, i guess. 031126 ... REAListic optimIST of course, blathercon_2004 needn't coincide with any local events. we will have enough planned and there is enough to do in the city at large that this is not a necessity. i just thought it would behoove me to do teh best i can to offer that which pleases the attendees the most. :) 031127 ... bumped . 031128 ... somebody . 040113 ... oh! oh! can i add a dot? . 040113 ... me too! . 040113 ... have it in canada . 040114 ... realistic optimist ok, kiddies. the time has come yet again to make some decisions. we must decide if we want beach camping or waterfall camping. beach camping will be at least a little over an hour from portland, making the transportation a bit more of an issue, but perhaps sand and ocean makes that worth it for you guys? we must decide if yerts are a necessity, or if tents are ok (yerts limit our campsites considerably). we must decide if july 23 - july 26 works for all of you. ok here is what you need to do. email me with your preferences. we need to reserve the campsites asap, so i will give you guys a week to get me your votes: 1.) beach or waterfall 2.) yerts or tents 3.) is july 23 - july 26 ok for you? 040114 ... superleni wow 040115 ... . bump 040115 ... jane okay, what the hell is a yert 040116 ... realistic optimist sorry, i misspelled yurt. http://www.oregonstateparks.org/yurts.php hope that helps! the sites i'm looking at are: -=inland, no yurts, 2 with waterfalls=- http://www.reserveamerica.com/jsp/commonpage.jsp?goto=/usa/or/cham/newindex.html http://www.reserveamerica.com/jsp/commonpage.jsp?goto=/usa/or/mciv/newindex.html http://www.reserveamerica.com/jsp/commonpage.jsp?goto=/usa/or/silv/newindex.html -=beachside with yurts, stevens is far=- http://www.reserveamerica.com/jsp/commonpage.jsp?goto=/usa/or/neha/newindex.html http://www.reserveamerica.com/jsp/commonpage.jsp?goto=/usa/or/stev/newpkserv.html -=closest beachside, no yurts=- http://www.reserveamerica.com/jsp/commonpage.jsp?goto=/usa/or/look/newindex.html also, if you desire hotel accommodations, please let me know asap, and i will hunt for some deals. 040116 ... Death of a Rose yay for RO and his dedication to making blathercon 2004 a reality. i haven't seen dafremen posting here lately, so i'm going to say it....lets get this thing done people....hehe *looking over his shoulder* 040116 ... EECP So, I got the ball rolling with Sage. I don't know what his final plan will be regarding blathercon, but he mentions it on his web page. Check it out if you have any questions/ideas. Let me know. =) 040117 ... . and how would we go about finding his page? 040117 ... Syrope whoa, whoa...what's this? 040118 ... pipedream is sadjealous because there is no way in hell or heaven SHE could come :P 040118 ... realistic optimist hrm? who the what the? 040118 ... Nirvanic Blind meant to give a notice on my participation earlier but i haven't been able to get online. i do plan on showing but i can't say yes for sure. so you can put me down as a maybe. my enthusiasm for this event has been back and forth but for the most part i think i want to go. i'll have to check for any vacation time from school and work so i'll post again after i've gathered up all the facts. Is this the right page for this? guess i should keep myself better informed. excuse me now while i try to catch up 040119 ... realistic optimist awesome, nirvanic blind. i'm happy you are considering attending :) please email me with your preferences, and that will help make sure i have your email as well. furthermore, if there is anyone who did not receive an amail from me, but who would like to, please send me your address, because i don't have it. 040119 ... Nirvanic Blind okay i thought i missed something but i can't find any other links regarding blathercon except for blathercon_events. Are we supposed to be e-mailing someone with our opinions or something? Like DOAR or RO. Sorry if this was explained more clearly already but thats why i failed history. i couldn't get myself to research the subject by reading through all the pages. I've sent an email to DOAR just in case. 040119 ... Nirvanic Blind there it is. thanx for the info RO. you answered before i even asked so you can just ignore that last entry. 040119 ... x I feel like, my attendance is not assured enough for me to be making serious votes as to what's going to happen. Plus, lately the idea of any planning makes me nauseous. So I am just going to wait until I see what the final choices are, and see what I can do. when the time comes 040119 ... death of a rose build it and they will come. 040119 ... EECP So do we have an actual head count? Just out of curiousity. 040119 ... realistic optimist not many of you have emailed me with votes. i hope this is not because you feel that since you are unsure that you can make it, you don't want to contribute to the decision. the first thing we really need to do is decide where to camp. so far, champoeg is winning, though it would not take many votes to turn the tide. i don't have an official headcount yet, but we will have a headcount soon of those who will have a reservation at the park. The parks are reserved months in advance. 040119 ... whitechocolatewalrus my coming would involve parental consent which at this point is not likely to happen. mostly because i will not ask them mostly because they are mortified of me meeting people from the internet. if blathercon were happening again in a year or more, i would be able to come. oh well. as for dafremen, he won't be back. or at least, so he says. see blather_journey_book_participants_list 040125 ...
