Frequently Asked
Questions
Revision 5.0 - 5/19/2004
Q: Where it it happening?
A: Byrd's Adventure Center,
Cass, Arkansas.
Q: How do I get there?
A: Aren't you whiny! Look here.
Q: What the hell exactly are we
doing at this thing?
A: All kinds of stuff, but here
are the high points:
- Arrive, set up camp, and booze it up Friday the 21st
- Booze it up and float the Mulberry River Saturday the 22nd
- Have the Big Dinner Event
and booze it up Saturday night
- We're having Fajitas with all the trimmings, and beans and
Spanish Rice on the side.
- I'm most likely going to ask for $4 or so per head to
help defray the cost of dinner.
- Somebody bring some Tecate!
- Special Musical Performance with the Sugar Bombs' new hit
power ballad, "Mulberry Love"
- Wake up, eat breakfast, booze it up, break camp, and leave
the afternoon of Sunday the 23rd
- We might make a 4x4 trail run Sunday, depending on our
level of toxicity/hangoveredness.
Q: Are you nuts?
A: Yes, I am. Every year I try
to bring less stuff, but as our headcount increases I seem to end up
bringing more.
Here's my current checklist. Most of
this is base-camp stuff, but you would do well to read it - it might
jog your memory for something you're forgetting!
Q: How much is all this
going to cost?
A: Not too much, really. Here's
a quick example for two people:
- Camping for two nights at Byrd's (in the "primitive"
campgound, where it's fun): $20
- Canoe rental, double occupancy: $42
- Two half-gallon jugs of Jim Beam: $40
- Hot dogs and buns: $10
- Lasting memories of boozing it up with your fellow
resistance members: Priceless
Q: Should I let someone
know if I'm going/not going?
A: Yes! Perry is going to
handle campground and canoe/raft reservations. Please email or call him with your
intentions (if you can't find his number, you shouldn't be calling him).
Q: Who's going?
A: So far, I have about 20
people on the attendee list. That means 10
canoes, unless you're some kind of antisocial freak...
Here we go (in no order whatsoever):
- Rick
- Jacob
- Perry
- Kevin
- Dave
- Joel & Kim
- Tom & Brianna
- Chris & Brittany
- Glen
- Bob & Wendy & Jessica The Babysitter
- Melody & Quincy
- Rob & Carrie
- Kadillac
If you're on this list, you owe me $21 for the canoe. If you're
not on this list and want to be, let me know damned soon!
Q: Where are you
getting all these great pictures? Have you been holding out on us, you
schmuck?
A: Yes. I promise to put all
these online in the new photo gallery. Really.
