I want you (Seatbelt), Zero, and Nuke to come car shopping with me this week. I'll buy y'all pizza! Thursday works best for me.
 
Sorry, the kids have field trips this week... like I could just duck over to Nor Cal on a when anyway.:cool:

I was thinking this could be the thread for the great camping, rafting, et cetera debate.
 
wait - - Aimee's in Northern California? Where? I vaguely remember someone saying they were from Modesto when I first joined. Was that you?

Sorry Seatbelt - Hope you enjoyed/are still enjoying your mom's visit. Back to everyone's wunnerful ideas...
 
Colorado (and therefore also the Green River....although it runs through Utah too...) just so happens to be located between California and Oklahoma.

Thought I'd point that out, in case nobody's ever seen a map before.
 
If we were to have a CC-IRL event, I like the idea of the first one NOT being a camping/boating thing because then it is a little more non-threatening. I think that would allow More people to get involved since it would allow for people to have the opportunity to say, "woh, them folks be crazy, I's gonna spend a little time in my hotel room praying and stuffz" or "wow, my social anxiety disorder just kicked into high gear I'm hopping the first plane outahere" or even, "wow, these cats be cool, but there is no way I coulda overcame my trust issues to spend a weekend in the woods with total strangers, I'm glad that I could do this somewhat on my own terms with lots of different optional events and the chance to just chill. And this sweet homemade trophy from the scrabble tourney is boss!"

Are you like...talking sense at us?!

Ok, no camping. Yet.

The only thing I can think of that would draw a lot of people and allow them to mingle or hide as they see fit AND let us get to know everyone...

Food. Potluck.

I dunno where to go from there.
 
I do have a dreadful tendency to be grounded from time to time... maybe it was those times I worked as an off-books journeyman electrician...lol

I'm just thinking there is No way I'd go on something like that at this point in my gun-shy little life, even if I did organize it. I'm very nearly almost that awkward. I'd probably still go, have a blast, but it would be a very uncomfortable stepping-out on faith only made because I had given myself no other option.

Potlucks rawk! (how do you herd cats... with food)
...except when there is that one crazy person that has no idea about sanitary cooking procedures and everyone gets sick and... wow, yeah, wasn't me - I'm a little neurotic in the kitchen, but not to an unhealthy degree... besides, if folks were coming from half way across the country, I imagine that tuna noodle casserole would be even Less good by the time it got there.
I'm thinking that we could have parallel events going most of the time, with specific ALL ABOARD events. Yunno, like Everyone get together for a fireside devotion Saturday night, followed by an all nighter game night, with the option to go to bed whenever, but everyone getting together for a Worship Service, short lesson, & communion the next morning - ending in time for everyone to thow stuff together before check out time, heading to lunch, and then shuttling peeps to the airport/train-station/et cetera. Also maybe have two different social outings Saturday afternoon, a common Saturday morning breakfast, some organized ice breaker type games Saturday morning (anyone else been around folks with a degree in Outdoor Leadership? or maybe folks with experience in working Freshman Orientation?)... I dunno. just me thinking... my brain hurts.

Could you bring some judgmental deer to keep folks from hiding out too much?
 
Ya get judged by deer and talk about it ONE TIME....

Hahahaha, they wouldn't fit in my suitcase.

Ok, no potluck. I don't think of like, logistics. Yeesh :P
