Excuse my delay in response... Goldwasher I'm in on it with you a hundred percent, the weekend of April 5th and 6th sounds great to me and would love to attend the Icmj summit event for sure. Hope your wifey will forgive you! Holding the event early April will give plenty of time in advance for planning, heck maybe you and I could just plan the whole event? I would be up for it and happy to help with set up, clean up and everything in between. Brasseagle, very awesome of you and the land owner to provide the spot sounds like a great location and I'm sure everyone will be respectful, if for some reason it doesn't work out then I agree that Coloma, lotus area would be great too but private property would be best no doubt!
My thoughts are keep it simple, byob and byog (grub). I'm totally cool with kids being welcome and will be respectful, I'm sure there will be some smoke blowing and cracks hanging tho.. Porta potty great idea, maybe two. One for the guys and one for the gals depending on the the final guest list. Would be happy to chip in on that and whatever else.
Brasseagle I guess the next questions are, will the weekend of April 5th and 6th work for you and the land owner? And what's the maximum amount of us that you and or the land owner want to allow? Thanks.
Making a tradition of this would be cool and give everyone who can't make this time a chance next year.
