[Gathering] First Bulldrek Baby Thing!

What is it? Tribute to the Mighty Bolt & Grinder/Baby Shower for Thorn & Caz
When is it? Saturday, August 14, 2004
Where is it? IC & Jaded’s new doss* in Volo, IL
How do we get there? R.S.V.P. to IC or Jaded and they will send directions.
Gifts? Thorn will be registered at Babies-R-Us but $ is always a perfect gift for new parents. No animal sacrifices please.

Provisions and housing? IC and Jaded will provide soda and food for the party…adults can purchase alcohol and other “necessities” at stores located across the street. The new place will include a big English basement with nice, soft, new carpet (emphasis on new--in other words mess it up at your own risk…IC is a tad anal about keeping the new carpet clean since he will have to remove the mess along with the subsequent blood stains) perfect for crashing on inside your sleeping bag. People traveling from the far reaches of the universe are welcome to stay before/after the party if you give IC and Jaded enough advanced notice. Volo, IL is 3.5 hours from Indianapolis.

*Plan B: If the new place is not finished by August (highly unlikely), the party will be held at IC and Jaded’s current apartment and “crashing space” will be split up between the apartment and MooCow’s place about 20 minutes away.

Savy?

-IC and Jaded

A big thank-you to IC, Jaded and MooCow, for giving us this opportunity to let the babies meet everyone who can make it. Since GenCon is just not going to be an option for us this year, this is also going to be our only real chance to see all you crazies we normally see every summer, so I really hope we can see as many folks there as possible!!!

By the way...if I can't make it...

I want PHOTOS OF BABIES!

This will also work out for Jaded and I since the new house will more than likely drain our reasources. This means it might be the only chance we get to seeeveryone this year. So, I guess that means /a/ gathering will be held at our place.

I will certainly keep it in mind. Won't be able to know if I can get those days off until June or so.

Depends on whether or not I've got time, and whether or not 32, Paul, or Teja can stand being around me, but sure, greeting a miniature clone of Winston Churchill into the world is always fun.

If I get the time off, and Meri can too, we wouldn't be adverse to picking you up, but like I said I won't know till June.

So, what time are we talking? Melissa and I are planning a little vacation this summer (probably somewhere warm and tropic), but if we can make it, we will. I just need to know when.

Of course you will. There is a baby (or two) involved, and therefore, there will be poop.

Maybe he got stunned by the twins thing? I know I still find myself slack-jawed and staring, muttering "Two? Two?! TWO?!?!" to myself.

This usually makes the other people waiting at the clinic nervous....

Oh, he's not allowed to come with me anymore. Him staring at the doctor cracking his knuckles during my exams kind of made everyone too nervous. Especially me - trust me, you don't want the man touching your hootie-hoo to be too nervous.

So uh, what does the guest list look like for this?

Instant Cash
Jaded
Thorn
Cazmonster

Anyone else? Hello? Is this thing on?

Urk. You would plan this during Wizard World Chicago. I'll have to get back to you on that.

Ah crud... I forgot about Wizard's World. Okay, let me do some checking.

Well figure that the baby activities will be in the afternoon, however as soon as that is over, it is party time. ;)

WE will stow the little ones away upstairs and go at it downstairs.

Whoa.... just what kind of party are you planning?

Ah! Well in that case I'll probably do WW in the morning and early afternoon then head right to the part.

*giggle*

IC, you do realize you're being a wee bit optimistic, thinking that we're going to be able to stow the kids away after dark, don't you? Man, it'd be /awesome/ if they were sleeping through the night by then.... grin.

Even people who show up later in the evening will still have an opportunity to see the kids - they'll just have to wait until they're awake (give 'em a couple hours, tops).

Oh I know that there will be intermittent baby breaks, but we keep the adult activities downstairs so if time is required for the infants, the upstairs will be all quiet and calm like.

Do you have one of those baby CB's? This way we can here them saying *Pssst*"Breaker breaker one nine, I got drool on my shirt and I'm packin a load!"

Hee hee! We don't currently have a baby monitor, but I think I know where I can borrow one. Otherwise, they usually know how to make themselves heard.... ;)

So is like anyone coming to this?

I am sure Caz and Thorn will be there, and we will party, but if no one else is coming then we will not need to buy as much food and booze.

I think Daki said he was coming.

I think Flak and I will be in Boston.

I'm definitely going to be there.

Boston? What happened to PA? Dirty, rotten cow.

And unfortunately, I need to have some fairly serious work done to get my wisdom teeth ripped out, which means I need my remaining four days for the time off necessary. It wouldn't be my first choice, but I will have no time free to take off until likely Septemeber, possibly October. Sorry folks, but I'm out.

It's on the schedule man. We hit Boston, then drop in PA for a day/night to hang with you guys.

(That's assuming we don't come to our senses and realize how incredibly silly this whole thing is)

*Pat pats Flak on the shoulder* It's okay you didn't get Moo's joke there. See, EDD = Evil Ding Dong. ED = Monkey's BF. Now go re-read what Moo said. :)
