Yoohooo, let's discuss this more. I think Chas had a couple of ideas about that weekend. Take it away Chas?
Anyway, are we going to watch all the episodes in one day? If so, when should it start? And if so, we'll probably need board games or other activities to do as well. (I could bring some cross stitch for those who want to learn a little, Steph I'll bring some linen for ya  ) Oh and the cake. I'm thinking chocolate instead of black icing. What do you all think?
Ok, discuss, 'cause it'll be here before you know it.

If I could make it, I would bring down the sequel to Troops...

If you thought Troops was good, boy you haven't seen anything yet.
Have fun at your party.

Saturday seems the prime day to do it - Friday nights seem to fall apart on account of jobs and what not.
And I'll need something else to do while Attack of the Clones is on, so a cross stitch refresher would be grand!
And, hey, a meeting might not be a bad idea to break things up.

We can just do all day Saturday at my place. I fairly certain my vacation days cover Nov. 19th. I'm still waiting to hear back from HR to confirm that, but I'm 80% certain.
If we do it that way, though, we're going to have to start early. By my estimates, if we wanted to be finished by midnight, we'd have to start at like 10am. And that's if we don't show the Clone Wars cartoon. I can do like a breakfast thing and maybe have some French Toast and/or cereal or something (sausage biscuits are starting to sound good) to start with. Chrissy's bringing a cake and if everyone else brought something. Between that the frozen hamburgers and veggie lasagna still in there and maybe ordering a pizza, we should be good with food (heh, sounds like we're hunkering down for a storm).
How does everyone feel about that?

If the all-day thing is too much, we could break it up a bit and make it two days. Friday does generally suck, but we could start noonish on Saturday, go until we drop, then pick up Sunday morning. I can offer guest rooms to people who want to spend the night. Stallion and I could split days or something. I live about 10-15 minutes away from him, so it works out.
We should definitely include a meeting, as much as we ever do. Games are always good. Ack, linen! I'll have to get my ass back into crafting (too busy playing video games). Chocolate frosting is okay with me. And I'll vote for any weekend in November that isn't the 1st weekend and isn't Thanksgiving weekend. I think that leaves 2 weekends open. For Eugenia's sake, I'll push to move it to the 3rd weekend in November

So we're doing this on the 19th? That would be fine with me, but I'll need to know soon so that I can make some weekend travel plans finalized.
Sounds like a fun plan!

I can also volunteer my house for some Saturday fun.
Maybe split the movies up on Friday and Saturday?
It's all good with me.

However we do it, I'm much more inclined to do a Friday-Saturday rather than a Saturday-Sunday thing since I have to be at work that Sunday (I asked work about Sunday off, it's already booked).
So, is it going to be Saturday at Eugenia's then? If we do Friday, who's going to do that? I know Minxy's said she'd do her place, and I can still do mine. I'll have off that whole day, so it might be work out better that way. Is there someone with a more central location interested in volunteering their property? Friday night shouldn't be too difficult if we start at like 8ish. We can decide as we go if we want to do Clone Wars that night, Saturday or just skip it altogether.

Hey, does anyone have a portable DVD player? Maybe we can see Bruce's show AND do the marathon at the same time.

Well, if we're doing Clone Wars at all, I imagine we won't get to it on Friday night. I mean, we are doing all 6 movies in chronological order, right? So I'm not thinking we can get through 3 movies on Friday night, let alone 4 (counting the Clone Wars as a movie because, well, they are).

I thought we were doing 1-2 on Friday, and 3-6 on Saturday. Clone Wars could work as an option depending on how we feel.

It just sounded like you were planning on watching Clone Wars on Friday. We'll see what time we get started on Saturday. So, if we're doing this at Ken & Eugenia's, is it still a 2-night thing? Do they have room for all of us to spend the night? Because frankly, I'm not looking forward to making that drive twice.

I'll probably be attending the Saturday showing. At least that's when the Vader Cake will be making his appearance.
Also, Eugenia, do you have a cross stitch project to work on, or should I bring supplies and some freebie patterns and what not? I will just in case. I have one or two tricks to show the stitchers. Alternate thread starting and easy colonial knots. LOL.
I'll bring a good card game as well. Its a take on scrabble.
