The - What's it like to camp there - game

So here's how the game works, one person says an street and a letter and then someone else answers with either an insightful, well rounded answered, or something incredibly amusing and/or sarcastic.

7:00 F

...fun, no?

7&F? That's the top edge of Hushville, surrounded by open camping. Should be near a potty bank. Not a good area for sound camps of any kind. Turn your bullhorm siren the fuck off, please. We hushers will shush you to death, or at least sic our tame librarians on you. Oh, Wit, that's a porn flick, isn't it?

8:30 & C

That's close enough to the Deep End et al for me to suspect noise, and lots of it.

So back to 7&F, Damn it, my plans, scarppered, how far out does Hushville stretch? I read that it starts at 7:00 and D?

I want to be in an area that's a little calmer than around 9-10 but not around 4ish as that's where I was last year and I fancy a change. We will be using a generator and we will be using some minor amplified sound. We are not a theme camp, I WILL do hand stand for bacon.

How about 7G, is that far enough away from the mice to act like a cat, but not too far away so that I have to act like a dog?

7&G Suburbs, close to 6 freeway, some dust from Gerlach direction on Monday from entering eager beavers. Quiets down during week. Probably need a bike that far out of downtown. Fair spot for greeters. 4 blocks from 9 o'clock red light districts. O.K. next up is 3&C.

Hushville is on a double block sharing with AEZ. It is on 7:00 from D to F; E street dead-ends at 7 there. Look at the map. My camp will be basically at 7 and E, capping the deadend on the Hushville side. We always get yelled at by newbs who don't look at their map and think we're camping in teh street. You certainly can have amplified music across the street, just turn your speakers away from Hushville and be neighborly. We've had Golden Cafe across the street and they were perfect,, even with amplified live music.

The letters correspond to streets...or cars....depending on level of snark.

The blue indicates a flood zone, so if you're going to camp there just make sure you bring a towel.

(everything you said is correct)
