Hey, if anyone is planning on getting here all early on friday, then please let me know now, that way I can be expecting you, and let you in.

Or, "Where's my BooBooKitty, you villainous headborne claphole?"

In tradition of star trek, guaranteed to make you feel just like Princess Leah!

January 27-29 2006

The GCP continues its fine tradition with the latest nodermeet located in beautiful Florissant Missouri, which is a suburb of St. Louis. We should have fun, mayhem, malarkey and perhaps even an effective way.

Directions

If you already know St. Louis then you simply want to take 270 to Hanley/Graham, select "Graham" (which is a right if you just came over from Illinois, otherwise it is a left). Go down about a mile and make a left on Reeb Lane, which is directly after a laundrymat, if you make it all the way to a stoplight with a bar then you went too far. If you pass a McDonalds then you went the wrong way at the exit.

If you don't know St. Louis then you are going to want to use Mapquest. Address is 145 Reeb Lane, apartment 3, Florissant, MO 63031.

Schedule

Friday January 27th

  • Arrive preferably early evening, but almost anytime is fine.

  • Carcassonne games should run constantly in room #2. We will be playing with a single set with expansion packs, and not multiple sets all dumped together into one box, so the games should go a lot faster.

  • 10PM - Official GCP Grilled Cheese Sandwich cookoff and buffet!!

  • Midnight - We will be showing Death Race 2000 on the main screen in the living room.

  • 2 AM. Attempt to begin reasonably quiet time.

Saturday January 28th

Sunday January 29th

"You're still here? It's over. Go home. Go."

Other actitivies

Apartment is equipped with wireless internet and several arcade games. We will be having a Ms. Pac-Man high score contest that will run all until midnight saturday, with a prize for the winner.

I assume there will be some drinking going on as well.

Rules

Try to be quiet after 2 AM, as I do have people that live below me, but they wake me up a lot with yelling, so I am not too terribly concerned about it.

I normally don't allow smoking in the apartment, but room 2 will be the designated smoking room for this event. Please keep it in that room, and restrict it to legal substances.

Transportation

There are several local noders, so picking people up from bus stations and the airport should not be a problem.

I will also list any carpool information here.

Carpools
  • eien_meru is going from Ada, OH and can take passengers, or pick people up along the way.
Lodging

My apartment will probably sleep 15 or 20 people by itself, but I would also encourage people to get rooms at the cheapo hotel down the street. I'll be adding the contact info for the place shortly, as it recently changed names and I can't remember what the new name is.

I am also asking if any local noders are willing to put people up for the night, if so then that information will appear here in the future.
