Attention HuSi Infidels
In July 2005 CheeseburgerBrown and Littlestar would like to invite the denizens of Hulver's Site to join them for a long weekend of racing, revelry and abandon, in celebration of geekery, freakery, and continents crossed by typing and Scoop. Festivities will be held in honour of Canada Day (July 1st) and Independence Day (July 4th) with fireworks, barbecued eats and dizzifying drinks. Events will conclude with the HuSi500: a go-kart championship to determine who is the speediest and nimblest HuShi'ite of them all.
Our old schoolhouse is located in the rural village of Gilford, part of the very diffuse town of Innisfil, approximately 45 minutes north of the megalopolis of Toronto. We can accommodate quite a number of guests indoors, and others are invited to pitch-tent in the schoolyard. How this would break down in terms of specific numbers really depends on how many people are interested in showing up and, of course, the state of the weather. At any rate we have spare beds for six, couches for two, and space to improvise for more. Outside, we're living on a half-acre -- a corner of which is taken up by the schoolhouse...so there's plenty left over for a pretty serious number of tents, if need be.
There will be bonfires and booze, and pleasure cruises on Cook's Bay aboard our very small but stalwart pontoon boat. We don't have any animals you can ride on, but I'm sure we can find some if there's sufficient interest. And, like I mentioned, there will be go-karting at the Innisfil Indy.
Expect music and sunshine. Expert some larffs.
Since we are not rich people, we would ask that anyone who wants to be fed and quenched should kick in a couple of dollars on a meal-by-meal basis. We don't expect to cover the total cost of the supplies -- we just want to make a dent in the expense, to make the endeavour possible without bankrupting us. We will be offering vegetarian and non-vegetarian meals, as well as toxic and non-toxic refreshments. (Myself, I recommend the toxic ones.) Drinking water from our well is free.
Anyone who doesn't care for the food selection can opt out of chipping in and seek their own restaurant solution as they see fit.
Anyone who wants to eat and drink with us for absolutely free need only lend us a hand assembling our new deck out back. This will also provide them with the exciting opportunity to work under celebrity New England contractor Rusty Foster, who will be supervising the deck building project.
Bring your own narcotics. We don't traffic.
Bring fireworks, too. We'll be buying a load, but you can never have too many. After all, we'll be celebrating the existence of two of North America's leading nations. That requires pomp and fizzle in no small measure.
This invitation is open to each and every HuShi'ite, lurker and chronic reloader alike. Come for a day if that's all you can spare, or stay for all four. All we ask is that you RSVP with your intentions, so we can acquire sensible amounts of supplies and prepare enough places for people to sleep. ('Maybe' is an acceptable answer -- we'd rather hear that than not hear from you at all.) If you don't know how you'd get here try conferring with other HuShi'ites to see if car-pools can be formed. Littlestar and I can ferry people in from Toronto, so as long as you can get to the Big Dirty you're in. Commuter rail service runs from Toronto to Bradford/West Gwillimbury, the next town south of Gilford. So we could pick folks up from the train station, too.
Nothing would tickle us pink more than meeting you. I hope many of you can come. It would be kinda pathetic to go to all this trouble only to have two people show up, so -- c'mon. The more the merrier. Represent, yo. I want to shake your hands, and laugh over beers with you. I want you to get licked by my dogs.
It's going to be a hoot. Trust me.
Things to know:
* We can't make a reservation at the Innisfil Indy until we know how many people are likely to participate in the HuSi500. So, RSVP early.
* We are open to suggestions about how to improve the plans for this event, especially from veterans of the HuSiMeets of yesteryear. Please don't hesitate to speak up, or ask questions.
* General information can be found on the official HuSistock page, which will be updated as the situation crystallizes.
