Not that I matter, but Wednesday is fine.
And I'd love to volunteer to help the Bike Ride -> M&G cleanup and transition.
I'll just hang around camp all day.
If I'm allowed to camp at BDV again.

Re: Eplaya Meet and Greet 2013 - What are you doing?
I would help with Wednesday, cleanup, etc IF I go to TTITD next year, that's still up in the air.
(And in fairness to JK, I was also doing some "bitching" of my own about the interlopers and the way they descended like locusts and vanished when the food was gone. I also remember suggesting some rearranging of the furniture to make a more private area but not make the camp look closed -- or closed off.)

Wednesday sounds good to me Doc, if we can make the details work. I also like Elliot's notion that it gives us more time to hatch devious plans once we all get together!
..and then of course there is the CORE burn conflict..
..either way, thanks for putting up with all of us boneheads!
I'll be glad to help, and figure out how when we get a little closer to TTITD.

As someone who left the party (too) early to go to the CORE burns, I would love to have it on Wednesday! Also happy to volunteer for any set-up/transition duty!!!

Re: Eplaya Meet and Greet 2013 - What are you doing?
Wednesday!!!
Then I can go to the Billion Bunny march!! (Watch, they'll change the BBM to Wednesday because of CORE
)
I've been hit and miss every other year because the Bunny/Core issue.
Also gives folks time to find eachother earlyer in the week to find some one they'd like to pal around with for the Weekend.
kinda understand the concerns of those that can't get to BRC untill Thursday but...
I'm sure everyone has their own Burn Night Tradition, but a new one could be eplayans meeting up at a pre arranged place in the City and walk out to the man en masse. ? but that kinda cuts into one's ability to watch the man burn with their camp. but ...
The MnG should be a big game of sardines played accross the whole of BRC on Friday, Camps that would like to be involved could sign in and be a "Stash" place. ??? <--not a really serious sugestion. but...
Vote +1 for Woden's day.

The Meet'n'Greet is the highlight of the week, for me...
(I'm easily amused...)
I'd go on any day that was decided!

The Meet & Greet was lots of fun! It was fun attaching faces to names. Morrell, I met you and your lovely fiance there (you gave me my first absinthe!), and then I kept running into the two of you!

Re: Eplaya Meet and Greet 2013 - What are you doing?
I'm with Triken of this. Its probably the only place on the playa that so many of the people I care about are all gathered together at one time. I'm good either day, but changing to Wednesday seems like a good idea considering the competition with the core burn.

Why not have it on 2 nights, that way it seems almost everyone could make it. Twice the fun!

Re: Eplaya Meet and Greet 2013 - What are you doing?
I'll attempt to stay much longer this time. Since leaving the M+G to go to other engagements results in tiny rubber fetuses hitting me in the chest after being violently expunged from a piñata.
I have a little bit of Savannah with me. Shhh...

We could have a second event. I don't think that the 2nd should be the same thing. And I don't think that Doc and BCE&WV would want to go through hosting twice.TT120 wrote:Why not have it on 2 nights, that way it seems almost everyone could make it. Twice the fun!

Re: Eplaya Meet and Greet 2013 - What are you doing?
if there was to be 2 events, though i think 2 meet n greets means that many people wouldnt try and get to both meaning more people we dont meet. it would be good to have one on each side of the city.theCryptofishist wrote:We could have a second event.

I'm in no way volunteering our camp, I'm just stating facts. Although if other Staggers think it's a good idea..

Re: Eplaya Meet and Greet 2013 - What are you doing?
Hmmm, so aside from trishntek we seem to have some votes for Wednesday.
Tnk is there any chance you could move your event or run it a bit later? (sorry
)
I also want to go to CORE, so am happy to move event.
I will start a new google doc for the M&G and give editing rights to a bunch of people so we can keep it updated. But I'm not sorting that tonight as there is a snugly black cat on my lap demanding my attention.

Re: Eplaya Meet and Greet 2013 - What are you doing?
Being as I'm with Retrofrolic as well, that's our M&G on Wednesday! It runs in conjunction with an event at Supended Animation. Oh well, we DO have eleven months to figure out the logistics. Although since herding burners is kinda like herding cats, it'll likely take that long.

Re: Eplaya Meet and Greet 2013 - What are you doing?
I think giving way to the Core Burn makes all kinds of sense especially as so many ePlayans are active with the regionals and really need to be at that Burn. Wednesday M&G works for me and I would certainly help with the transition from Nude Bikers etc. Spending all day in camp is nothing new for me.
And whoa (((VultureChow))) you are entirely expected back as far as I am concerned!

Wednesday works for me.
(btw, it suuuure was nice to have the living room lights on after 10pm most nights...more fun & easier to find the camp!!)
About the "interlopers" (if there's such a thing in BRC) they can always be asked to "walk the runway" in their outfits (no matter what they're wearing) or perform some other ridiculous thing, or tell a joke or...??
I'm sure we can think up some other (terrifying/boundary pushing) thing they can do on the spot....hehehe!
