TWG-East: The Gathering

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

Sunday night

[Shrain]

What?! You're gonna bail on us on Sunday?   That is insufferable! SE, slay him at once--or after he makes us food, I guess. Then we can just chain him to the furniture (seeing as how you've neglected to install wall shackles yet).

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

um hello, Im a government worker... no choice and all.

[Shrain]

The government must be overthrown then. It's as simple as that.

Okay, okay, I admit I don't have the financial backing for such a plot, so we'll have to set it aside--for now.

But it sucks that you can't stick around longer. I guess I was thinking that you could request days off and that you had asked for Mon. Curses. And rats! Yes, rats, I say!

i have special dispensation excusing you from work, jeffe. W. told me so himself.

[Shrain]

Since when did you and W. get all buddy-buddy? Isn't he still mad about the banana and tinsel incident last Christmas at the White House?

Anyhow, Jeffe could always come down with a mysterious illness that is only curable through hanging out in the vicinity of SE's house. It is built over an ancient something or other, you see.

so I was poked and proded by Jeffe to check out this thread (ok not really, just an instant message) and awesome idea! A gathering sounds awesome. Sadly, however, this poor Mainer who would adore meeting people in real life, cannot be in attendance. I could have probably pulled off Boston or New York but even those are pushing it. Plus I have to teach the Friday and Monday around it.
Have a blast guys! Next time (I hope theres a next time!) I will do my very best to go and see all you lovely people!

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

Three words, caiti.

Call. In. Sick.

ok, we need to have a schedule.

Gemm, i uh... work till 11:30ish (depending on how long closing goes) on Thursday night. I can't pick you up then. I, for some reason, was thinking 11am. Though I see now that you had put PM there. I sorry. My bad, entirely. I suppose, if you want to hang for an hourish, I'll come get you. I can't abandon you and make you wait 6-7 hours there at that depot. Otherwise, catch a cab.

Please comment on the schedule below, people. Include specific movie and game titles you wish to include.

Current schedule:

Friday
Gemm is the only one present. We will play games and dink around. We will also go with my kids to pick out a pumpkin. Conceivably, we will also have pudding or something. Food is whatever's in the fridge. Maybe we will get a few pumpkins and carve out some TWG pumpkins. I dunno.

Saturday
8:00  am. SE wakes up (HAHAHAHA! seriously, I will have been up, made breakfast for childrens, and checked my email by this time)
8:30 am: SE forces Gemm into the car and they pick up Shrain from the airport
9:30 ish: arrival at the Ninja Monkey Burial Ground. Party begins in earnest. Hopefully Jeffe is around by now, having arrived late friday or saturday morning
Games begin.
Noon-ish: Lunch at Five Guys. Bring your appetite.
1:30 pm: SE forces you all to the comic shop "to make fun of the other nerds" and possibly pick up an action figure and comic books.
2:30 pm: game session 2
5-6:00 pm: some sort of meal (order pizza?)
7ish pm: game session 3/movie session 1. This continues until we are old tired people.

Sunday
9:00 am: Church. Attendence not mandatory, except for SE who has to teach primary to let his wife go to VT Conference
noon ish: lunch (sammiches?)
1 pm ish: haunting downtown DC (memorials, or, since it's getting cold by Virginia standards, SE may wimp out and whine for a museum visit instead)
6ish: Jeffe makes din-din
Post meal: Writing activity! Renga or collaborative/progressive story writing. Jeffe leaves sometime in here

Monday
sleep in
Old Town, where we will have lunch (picnic or Subway or something).
Get Shrain to airport by 5ish.
Party ends at that point. SE works at 6pm.


Gemm, when are you departing?

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

And now We shall christen this Gathering a "Con"

So welcome everyone to TWIG Con 2006. From now on every Halloween will be TWIG Con. Perhaps we can make it larger, or bionic or something.

[Nessa]

Make sure you guys take lots and lots of pictures. So I can be insanely jealous.

Jeffe, I couldn't help but notice that you didn't comment on the schedule, or provide specific titles.

Don't worry, Nessa. I plan to take plenty of pictures. For blackmailing purposes.

[Shrain]

Me want COSTUMES!! My costume rocks but dad-gummit, I ain't going to be the only one wearin' a costume, ya hear?! Yeah, I'm talkin' to you, SE, and you Jeffe and Gemm. Devise something or I shall devise it for ya. For example, y'all could be my Terrismen slaves.

Yeah, boy! A fancy new title. Cool. But, uh, what does the mysterious "I" in TWIG stand for, Jeffe?

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

Silly Shrain, the "I" always stands for Illuminati.

Which Airport is Shrain gonna be at, cause I could pick her up. I plan to be in DC by early Sat morning (1 or 2) or lat friday night.

Oh, and I also realized I no longer have either your address or your home phone #.
