Wildfire Riders

This is the official thread for the title event, taking place this August in Seattle, Washington! The actual BBQ/Feathermeet party is going to be on Saturday, August 7th at Teuthida & Valinar's house. Because they've been awesome enough to host this at a private residence, I'm not gonna post the info on the forums; instead, if you are interested in attending Feathermeet, post here or send me an email and I'll put you on the email list for the invite. Bear in mind that I'll be using the email address you signed up on the boards with, so if you use a different one now, just drop me a line instead.

Besides the actual party, the surrounding dates - basically from Thursday, August 5th to Tuesday August 10th from prior experience - are gonna be a festival of nerd-dom and bad decisions. In previous years, Feathermeet has featured:
-Five dozen pounds of dead cow on a grill.
-Sausage fights.
-Horrifically cute children.
-A package of hot dog buns used as a pillow.
-Winston Churchill's lesser-known brother William, and his fascist-destroying lazer eyes.
-More jelly beans than your body has room for.
-The Seattle Nude Cycling convention.
-Rogue hula-hoopers.
-Inability to identify basic fruits and vegetables.
-A round of drinks purchased for all from the other side of the globe.
-A man being assaulted by change machines.
-Strip Rock Band.
-Six-hour RP brainstorming sessions.
-The Saga of Big Baby.
-And of course, sweet, sweet alcohol.

Sound like fun? Sign up today!

Jackie and I will be attending, possibly providing a large amount of delicious beverage.

Also, if the Seattle Nude Cyclist convention shows up at their house this year?
I make no promises.

Me too.

So looking forward to this! (Giv 2 me deets plz!)

I'll be living down there, so it's likely I'll come. I am very shy though, so Ceil and Loche might need to make me.

As I too will be for the month of August living with Ceil, Loche and Shaila, I will make it my mission to drag said Shaila to the event.

HOLY FUCK HOW COOL IS IT I WILL BE IN THE USA ZOMG ZOMG

Daugbert and Anna are still a very unsure maybe at this point. We have been offered a very generous place to stay, but right now plane tickets are horrifically expensive (last I checked, it'd cost us over a grand just for the plane tickets, and we'd need a rental car, and would also have to like... eat and stuff), and I'm still sans job. So... we shall see.

Would if I could, but all the funds are getting tucked away for the yearly trip to halloween horror nights come October, sounds like fun though. Someday.

I am also tenative at this point. Husband has lost his unemployment benefits, so I am supporting us both. I am not sure I will have the cash, plus Bika is not sure she will make it this year. At this point, I can't afford to get a hotell room on my own. We will have to see.

Mmmm, bacon.

In!
