New Yorkers/New Englanders! Let's Do It.

So, all y'all expressed interest in coming to my humble abode in Hartford for a vegweb shindig, of sorts. 

Let's plan, shall we?

Let me mention first off that Bostoners can come to Hartford via the Megabus for quite cheap.  Or carpool.  Albany peeps could carpool as well.  All of you in the Connecticut/New York/Massachusetts area are invited!

I am available these weekends:

January 30th
February 6th
February 13th (Valentines Weekend)
February 20th
March 7th

And beyond that, but let's stop right there for now. 

What say you, friends?  I am thinking a potluck with a theme.  If we do it around Valentine's (or even if not) we could totally do an ironic love theme.  Either way, I'm making cumcakes and penis/vagina cookies.  Because how often do you get to do that?

I have a lovely kitchen, a futon, and a decent amount of floor space, though we'd need some cushioning for the floor sleepers (wood floors).  You could stay the night or just come for the day.

Thoughts?  I want to do something that we all like.  We can have games, drinks, movies, presents, etc.

RSVPs

I have a few documentaries (Outfoxed, The Corporation) but I also have a few 80's movies that rock.  Namely, Ghostbusters, The Lost Boys, Monty Pithon's Holy Grail <-- that's 70's though.

Oh, I was wondering, does anyone have any extra chairs they could bring?  Like folding ones--hard ones or the kind like you'd put in a dorm, ya know?  My furniture is a couch, an armchair, and four dining room chairs.  Extra seats would be helpful, since soooo many people are coming!

Does anyone who is coming have a copy of "The China Study" that I could barrow? I've been wanting to read it but I avoid buying books as often as possible and it seems Hartford and West Hartford libraries only have a single copy of it and it is never in....I can mail the book back to you after I read it.

Me!  You can borrow the one I got from Camillus!  Feel the vegweb love.

I just finished putting together my party outfit!  It is epic, if I do say so myself.  I'm wearing it around the house right now.

YAY!Thank you.  Then I don't even have to pay for postage to send it back to you! Hehe...I remembered SOMEONE got it at the CT pot luck but I could not remember who it was. How lucky for me...they are selling it at B&N for 20% off, plus i have a membership card, so I would get and extra 10% off...but I just feel guilty wasting paper if i can borrow....I do feel the VW love!!!!

Edited to observe: barrow looked wrong when i wrote it but spell check said it was fine...BOOO!

I love games. I have some games I can bring. And the best kinds require only pens and paper, imho.  I can teach all y'alls the best game ever! telephone pictionary aka write draw. 

I can't believe this is next weekend!! hurrah!!

Hooray!

Did everyone see my request for extra chairs?  Any takers?

Otherwise we can picnic on my floor!  Which would also be fun.

I have to ask JW if there will be room in his car for a folding chair. I have one.

Okay.  You know, now I'm thinking it actually WOULD be super fun and preferable to spread out lots of blankets on the floor and picnic!  Yeah?

Prolly will be.  As long as the 1 carry-on per person limit is strictly enforced :)

P.S. I'm bringing my running shoes in case anyone is up for a Sunday morning jog.
