Hey buddies!
It has been a week since my last email and I'm sure you have been counting the days. Have no fear, I'm back for my weekly blogio address. Jay Kay.
1. The dates for HBDC are set! They are Friday August 14th through Monday August 17th. I should also mention that there will be a group of people going to the campsite the day before on August 13th, to do setup. All are invited to this preliminary party. I want to make sure that anyone sitting around bored waiting for HBDC will know that they can come a day early. The catch is, you have to help set up, and there won't be any "fun" until we settle down that night for a long Summer's Party. Oh, but we'll totally swim that day.
2. This week I want to talk about HELP! It was perhaps the Beatles second most popular album. And it just happens to be the same title as what HBDC needs right now, from you!
If anyone has any ideas of what kind of supplies you think we need at HBDC, let me have 'em. Your input will be awesome, whether you have faith in your idea or not, we need ideas of supplies and entertainment. So go ahead, don't be afraid, what types of beer, what types of food (especially for guest cooks). And, on that note, if anyone has any food allergies, you need to speak up, and speak loud. We don't want anyone passin' out at camp out. Would you like boats every day or just one day? Would you NOT like squirt guns this year? Just give us some goddam feedback, hahaha!
3. One of the most important factors for HBDC3 is your mode of transportation. Seriously people, carpool, "When you ride alone, you ride with Hitler". So, we need to start creating a carpool/rideshare group. If anyone has any experience collaborating on something this complex, we could use your help, considering my tiny brain can't even handle a simple spreadsheet about the number of boys brought to the yard by said "milkshake". To be perfectly clear, once again, we need a transportation plan, and your help will be appreciated. Oh, and I forgot to mention, last year we almost spent $100 on paying for parking for everyone. That was our fault yes, but we are going to the same place, and we need to consolidate the number of vehicles to that which is absolutely necessary. Oh, and whoever comes forward to organize this transportation blog, or email or whatever, will have the option of petitioning HBDC funds for a van, with a stereo. That's right, a party from the starty, vanpool from Woodland to HBDC this time!
4. Time Off: I will say it one more time, Time Off. Other phrases for it are: vacation, paid vacation, sick days, disabled, unemployed, AWOL. Do what you have to do to get the time off, because these dates are solid. Lie, cheat, steal. All will be washed away upon your arrival. Once again the dates for HBDC3 are August 14th to August 17th; Friday through Monday. These dates are now official. We want to make sure that you can be at HBDC3 because we love you and need you to be there for this to be a damn good time! And ya know, dishes n stuff... they don't do themselves do they?
5. Finally, I need every members mailing address. If you do only one thing because of this post, let it be that you emailed me your mailing address. Send your contact information to hbdcinfo@gmail.com. I am sending a separate email about this so you probably won't miss it. I need name, address, phone number, email, emergency contact, blood type and social (just kidding about blood and social) and the names and email addresses of any guests you plan to bring. If you give me their email now, I can help you convince them to come!
On a random note, the CD mixes last time were really fun, so make some mixes to share if you want, that would be really cool. Then we can all share... stuff...
Alright, here comes Spring, don't forget to put your clock forward one hour this Saturday night!
Hey Buddy!
