Awesome, Cheeser! Right now I am trying to figure out how many people will be coming so I can get that info to Bloomsday. I am guessing it will be just like last year, but since I didn't get involved last year, I don't have an idea of what it will be like LOL.

There were about a dozen that I can remember from last year. Basically some high energy music is pumpin' while we waved, high fived, and danced for hours. Not for everyone, but you also can stay as long as you can.

Water will be provided.

You will also get Bloomsday volunteer shirts if you let me know what size you want in time.

So, I know I'm going, Both Alfredo and Nathan are planning on it, who else?

Erik! Glad you're able to be on board!

Mason, does this mean that arrangements have been made for the music and SpoCon banner?

EDIT: For shirts, I'll take a Medium. If Noelle is able (and I'd be willing to bet money she will) she'll want a Small.

Yay Smudge! I'm glad you can make it!

Alfredo:
I do not know what the music and banner arrangements are, just that she wants a repeat of last year. I've emailed her to clarify and I'll let you know.

Heather was wondering if we could do any skits? Of those participating, is anyone interested?

Hmm.
Let's see. I'll be wearing 50 pounds of armor and a mask with little-to-no visibility, carrying a VERY solid shield, and a 9ft. spear with (though fake) very pointy dual tips...
If anyone's interested in risking a cuncussion or something worse, then, yeah, I can do a skit of some sort...
Truth be told, I am probably best utilized JUST standing somewhere and trying to look cool.....

Given the timing I think skits probably aren't in the cards this time. Mason if they are available, I'll take a 4 or 5x shirt. If they aren't it's all good.

I'm debating on what garb to go in this time, (Shadow Jedi, Nerf herder/smuggler/guy with too many guns, Renn faire garb, fantasy/guy with too many blades or???) Any thoughts?

Yeah, I didn't want to push the skit thing, but I mentioned it in case someone wanted to run with it. I think that we can put anything together on the spot anyway.

I have included a map of the course. We are at the corner of Lindeke and Summit - just like last year. We have to be there at 7 am.

I only got 26 shirts and they only go up to 3x. So I will pass on the shirt, because it looks like we have way more people than I have shirts. I will have to see if there are any more of us who are willing to forgo shirts to accommodate everyone.

The first participant doing the race is expected to be by our area at 8:30 and the last will be around 12:30.

Let me know if you need any more info.

Thanks so much for bringing all these folks!

Ok, so I screwed up and took too long to get her shirt numbers. I hope we can all be friendly and work through who really wants one and who can live without on Sunday.

No worries on a shirt for me, not important at all.

Ok, I just found out that we need to be on the course at 7 am. If you want to park that is. Summit west of Lindeke (about 200 yards down from the corner will be our parking area - that road is closed from Lindeke west. So if you want to be able to drive close to the site, you will have to arrive at or before 7 am. Let any of your peeps know what is going down. I would suggest that as many people as possible car pool. We will not be able to leave the area (if we parked there) until the race is over. So if you think you need to leave before the last person crosses us, parking somewhere off the course and walking in is your best option.

We may have a camp trailer instead of tents or awnings, so if it gets too cold we can rotate a few folks in and out of the trailer to get warm for a few minutes at a time.

My phone number is 509-218-0376 if you need to call me.

Looking forward to seeing all of you there at 7 am!

Thanks.
