Husistock 2: The Reckoning
Well, life is crazy isn't it? Too much, too fast. But friends are important, and having time together is good for your soul. So we are gonna make it work.
It is possible that CCB had booked off the wrong dates for this Husistock and that this was a big, unfortunate mess as he has to fight tooth and nail to even get time off. (For some reason he's supposed to be happy never getting his allotted vacation time though everyone else happily takes two weeks off WITH THEIR FAMILY. Sigh. No, I'm not bitter.)
In any case, the Old Schoolhouse will open it's doors Friday August 1st and kick your asses out on Monday August 4th if they're not already gone.[But, actually we are very nice if your car breaks down and you have to hang out with us for a few extra days, we will feed you and stuff and have nice chats.]
The planning for this event is slowly being looked at, trying to squeeze it in around the insanity of life schedules. There will be a party on the Saturday night (like last time with more people coming to hang out for that specifically, probably a number of my derby girls etc.), with a band that hopefully doesn't suck. We will get a keg of beer (two if needed but last time that was too much). We will do a chili lunch on Saturday. My sister-in-law's boyfriend may also make us some awesome jerk chicken (if we're lucky). The lake is still there so people should bring their swim gear.
We have realized that, like last time, getting some extra funding (to help pay for the portable toilets and beer and chili etc.) would be super duper awesome/necessary as we are sort of completely broke. How did we collect money last time? I have no recollection, but I know that we did, you guys were awesome. I have been looking at some sites that do it but they all charge annoying fees etc. Ideas? I'm sure you've got them, please share.
I think last time it worked out really well, everyone brought stuff for themselves and we also shared some food that delightful people brought and some that I made and we brought and shared liquors and beers from all over and had the keg and some special fun stuff made up here. (We're definitely gonna make up some jello shooters, they are way too yummy.)
So, that's where we are now. How about you?
