Ah, the official announcment. I really want the Cheeto's guy to be there serving dumplings, but I think I will be dissapointed...

I will be there, of course.

An addition to the agenda: More moody ramblings? we shall see...

 

The Unifying Force!!!! Return of the King!!!! QUIDDITCH!!!! OH MY GOD!!!!

 

Garrett the uber nerd! Though I gotta say Quidditch is awesome... stupid Austrailia.

 

They have an Austrailian quidditch team!?!?

I'm buying it.

 

Can I be the seeker?

Oh, yea...I'll be there...

 

That game is so confusing.

 

What color are the Australian robes??

 

Ok..thoughts on the Secret Santa thing...

1. We can either draw names at the meeting or I can do it ahead of time and just tell you who has who.

2. We will fill out a little interest sheet at this meeting to give to whoever draws us.

3. Virtual gifts, homemade gifts, or cooked type gifts are definitely OK....whatever the gift is, make it personal! :~) Ideas under this category would be like cookies, a CD burned just for that person, something made from pieces and parts of other thing to make something significant for that person...

4. All gifts are to be exchanged at the same time at the December meeting, so if you give a virtual gift (say, in Galaxies to another person), then do a fun write up or mock up to give to your recipient.

No min or max on gifts, but let's keep it in the spirit of making it something personally meaningful or fun for the person intended.


Thoughts?

 

Sounds good to me, I have ideas I am working up based on who I might get.

I like the idea of drawing names at the meeting, just so I can see people's reactions based on who they pick.

 

Hehehehehe, this is going to be fun.

 

I'll be there. Chester's rocks!

 

Yippee!!! I like Secret Santas...

Now who can I pay off...

 

I'm a little confused. Isn't the point of Secret Santas to keep the gift giver, well, secret? So how can we "fill out a little interest sheet at this meeting to give to whoever draws us"?

But yeah, Secret Santa is fun. We've been doing it at work since October. The best part is, the coworker I drew was a classmate from kindergarten through high school. (Ok, so sometimes she was in my sister's class in elementary school.)

 

I think some of us know the others well enough to know what they would like.

 

Réka, if we're drawing names there, we'll use the interests sheets as our "little slips of paper." In other words, we'll all fill them out, fold them up, then put them into a bag or something and draw out the papers. The paper will list the person's name as well as their likes/dislikes, so the Santa will have something to go by.
We'll still be able to be anonymous that way.
:~)

 

Wow, you're good.

 

this is going to be fun...i'll definately be there. as for the quidditch game...i'm not a fan...it's too simplistic and repetative...i was so disappointed...sad kai...

 

Does anyone know the address for Chester's so I can hit up MapQuest?

Speaking of games, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Oh....my...gosh.

 

Hmmm...no idea on the address....Camarillo folks, got one? (I guess I could google it and see what comes up...)

 

I'll PM you all specific directions for where you live.

It's ok Michael, we still have over a week.

 

So...we're all confirmed as coming?

 

I'll be there, definatly.

 

The directions YoungJedi PM'd to me will not work currently, because the Lewis Road offramp is closed. There are two alternatives for people coming from the Thousand Oaks/Westlake area:

Option A (with a bit of backtracking):
101 north, exit at Carmen. Turn right onto Carmen, then right again at the next light, onto Daily. Take Daily to Arneill and turn left. Turn left onto Pickwick.

Option B (sidetracking instead of backtracking):
101 north, exit at Flynn Road. Go straight from the exit, i.e. onto Flynn. Turn left at Adolfo. Turn left at the T-intersection, onto Ponderosa. Turn left onto Arneill, then right on Pickwick.


As you can probably guess, I'll be there.

 

Erm, sorry about that. Didn't realize. :/
