My question about ball and net was mostly because, well, I have access to neither right now, nor do I currently have the finances to pick up a set just for this So from my POV, it was valid if for no other reason than to get others to bring Ball & Net (And while we can play without a net, nets are fun too )
What *time* are people going to start showing up at Hayes? Specifically when is 32 shooting for, as he is the man in charge of the Cabins? At least as far as Hayes is concerned. (or so my understanding goes)
Check in time for the cabins isn't untill 3:00pm (15:00 for the Euros) on Saturday the 3rd. I have a feeling the planning commitee will be there at this time, between 2 and 3. So Late afternoon. Anytime after then is ok. If you show up before, hang out at the bar.
I want to shoot one of these Church kids and ask them "Where is your god now!"

Josh is correct. Eva and I - at least - will be there between 2 and 3. Bob's pretty likely to let us check in whenever the hell we feel like, but if he doesn't, 3's fine. Caz and Barb will get there soon thereafter; their plans are complicated by some airport pickups.
So, anytime after 3 would be fine for people to start getting there.
What, exactly, is the bed situation? How many people do we know are staying many days?
There is then a need to guard against a temptation to overstate the economic evils of our own age, and to ignore the existence of similar, or worse, evils in earlier ages. Even though some exaggeration may, for the time, stimulate others, as well as ourselves, to a more intense resolve that the present evils should no longer exist, but it is not less wrong and generally it is much more foolish to palter with truth for good than for a selfish cause. The pessimistic descriptions of our own age, combined with the romantic exaggeration of the happiness of past ages must tend to setting aside the methods of progress, the work of which, if slow, is yet solid, and lead to the hasty adoption of others of greater promise, but which resemble the potent medicines of a charlatan, and while quickly effecting a little good sow the seeds of widespread and lasting decay. This impatient insincerity is an evil only less great than the moral torpor which can endure, that we with our modern resources and knowledge should look contentedly at the continued destruction of all that is worth having. There is an evil and an extreme impatience as well as an extreme patience with social ills.
Bed situation is as follows: up until Wednesday, all beds are taken. If you're staying in this period (being Saturday to Tuesday), you need to bring your own sleeping bag, mattress or whatever you need to sleep on.
One time I built a matter transporter, but things got screwed up (long story, lol) and I ended up turning into a kind of half-human, half-housefly monstrosity.

Well, it would be more accurate to say that anyone sleeping in a bed needs to bring their own sheets, but yah, we're on sheet prowl, so far as that goes.
