SF Decompression 10/13/2013

[Jackass]

I haven't really heard anyone talking about it much, so I thought I would ask. Who's planning on attending the party this weekend???

[trilobyte]

D'oh, sorry about that. I'd seen some talk about it (must have been the bar) and for some reason thought a thread had already been posted.

My girlfriend and I are planning on going. I know some other ePlayans are as well, I'll leave it to them to chime in for themselves. I'll post the event details in a couple minutes, it's been a busy few weeks for me but I know I've got 'em around here someplace...

[ygmir]

I'll be there.

[nilasnake]

we're going to sit in reno and wait for the art car fest to arrive on sunday. this will be the first sf decompression I've missed in 10 years.

[Jackass]

Are any ePlayans planning on meeting at the secret spot, or anything of that nature? I'll be at the secret spot, trying to get there early...

[ygmir]

I'll be in and around the Gate/Black hole bar/shade at times.

[trilobyte]

A secret spot, you say? I didn't have any other plans other than walk over to decom, see stuff, and hang out.

[Aurelia]

I will be in the commisary
early

[LittleJack]

I'll be there. I'm just hoping there isn't a BART strike, that could really foul up transportation issues.

I'm also organizing a kinky burners meetup. Look for it on FetLife.

[Jackass]

anyone else going??

[Eric]

I ripped a muscle in my foot (because I can, so neener-neener), so Decompression has been removed from my activities this weekend. *sigh*

[Lonesomebri]

When the secret spot was mentioned i figured that was code for making sure i had logged out before conversation continued. I think I'll be there, but I was also invited to go play pinball with some people in a band called "Girls With Guns"...

I'm just a simple man.....

[Fanplastic]

I'll be there in the early evening. Looking forward to seeing everyone at the secret spot. I know I'll see everyone because the spot is so secret nobody knows where it is.

[Ratty]

I'll be there but I'm wearing my cloak of invisibility. Except from 6pm -8pm greeting.

[Ratty]

It was great. Sorry I didn't see any Eplayans but I did see several friends. The greeting was great and I got to spend the day talking to other burners. I gave away the remaining swag, got swag and tons of stickers. Split a brownie with one of my greeter friends and had a fine time.

[trilobyte]

We got there early, and had left by 6.. but we had a lot of fun. Ran into some friends (old and new), gave away some more playa gifts, and saw a lot of stuff we missed on the playa. Here are a few pics.
