I havent done anything yet, just much talk. Im quite accomplished at that

Ill look at those sites later, but my concerns about space has less to do with sleeping arrangements and more to do with promoting a comfortable party space. we dont want to be too crowded to get around the place and chat

ok, Ive PMed everyone who has posted (those who I havent already talked to, anyway)

anyone else interested? please dont think you have to stay to come - anyone from the board who either lives nearby or is willing to make the trek should feel welcome. BRING YOUR ASS ON DOWN

Id like to make a decision by tomorrow, and right now it looks like the marriott. we all pretty much know what to expect from that sort of place, and the rates arent too bad. plus it shouldnt be too hard to find for all of the out of towners. if anyone has any suggestions or any problems with the marriott, please tell me asap.

as far as food, I think you should bring what you can, and the rest will be taken care of, either by others bringing stuff or us dragging our asses to the store or ordering something. that shouldnt be an issue. a few people have offered drinks, but if you prefer something special (or if you are a sow and will be sucking down large quantities) you should definitely bring it yourself. bring your favorite cds/tapes. as far as cd players go, the only portable one I have is shit, so someone else might want to bring thiers (sorry if someone already suggested this)

anything else we'll need?

Roosters! We must have cock-fights in the hotel room!

We won't need roosters for that, son.

in that case, I reserve all rights to the proceeds from the photographs and videao...

My cock won't fighting on a video. I keep my cock for Pay-Per-View only.

Im not paying for that. Im hoping for a drunken game of spin the bottle, which ends up raging out of control. of course, Ill be totally sober, leaving me able to better manipulate the shots for maximum perve-appeal

You're not really bringing a video camera, are you?

Ha HA! Too bad for you I'm straightedge. We'll see who's the Master Perv.

Speaking of which, who's up for a round of Strip Twister?
 
 
Ierne

Not me. Just booze and conversation, thanks.

I just wish we had an oppurtunity to get down. I imagine the hotel would not approve of any breakdancing occuring at 3 in the morning. Still, it will be nice to see how many 'Lithers we can cram into one room.

someone brought this up - is anyone bringing anyone who isnt from barbelith?
 
 
Matthew Fluxington
14:56 / 15.01.02
I am.

...and I want to say this: I do not want any photographs, video, film, or anything like that taken of me. I will not come or agree to stay if anyone tries to push this on me.
 
 
bitchiekittie
15:32 / 15.01.02
hey - I was only joking! for one thing, I dont make it a habit of taking pictures of people who dont want to be photographed. (but if a cockfight should occur, I might change my mind). nor do I own a video camera
 
 
Ierne
15:32 / 15.01.02
I'm with Flux on that one. No photos please.

(BK: you posted before me – thanks for clarifying the situation.)

Do you New Yorkers believe the camera steals your souls or something???

15:41 / 15.01.02
I think they find that the camera will incriminate their souls.
 
 
Matthew Fluxington
15:41 / 15.01.02
well, I'm going to also insist that the meet take place only at night, and that if someone insists on bringing some holy water, they better fucking keep it away from me...
 
 
bitchiekittie
15:41 / 15.01.02
I might bring a camera - I take pictures of everything. but I wouldnt take a picture of anyone who didnt want me to, nor would I ever show any pictures I have without permission

on another note, I called the marriott. they have a rule, if theres 3 complaints then you get the shit kicked out of you. or something. what do you think?

15:43 / 15.01.02
I'm unlikely to cause a complaint. What are their rules of the house?
 
 
bitchiekittie
15:49 / 15.01.02
no cockfights

Yeah, that definitely sounds like Brooklyn

I think that most of us are adults and we can hang out in a hotel room and chill with each other without hassling anyone.

16:37 / 15.01.02
ok, if I dont hear differently in a short while then Im booking a room, today. most likely two beds, Ill see if I can find one with a pull out couch or something.

Cool.

Warning to all attendees. I will be bring two camera's (one B&W, one colour). This is exemplary of my love of photography. Be assured that I have no interest in invading your privacy or by other means incriminating you.

However, on the chance that I see something that I particularly want to shoot, I will ask.

Feel free to say no, I will not be offended or put out in any way.

Just so you know.

they also said we could use the lounge til the wee hours...maybe we should squeeze everyone else (all the payin' customers) out and take over the whole damn hotel

Well, if it matters anymore my mom said that I can hold the Barbelith partie/meeting thingie over at my house on January 26th to 27th.

Sorry it took me so long to ask but it just did.
 
 
Ierne
11:45 / 16.01.02
Will be there, bk. PM me closer to the date with more info.

I'm thinking of bringing Hummus, Olives & Pita Bread (as well as that bottle of Jack).

Lionheart: If your mum will let you have us over, surely she'll let you come to a hotel room full of strangers...I'll bet Enamon's mum would too.

last night I bought cups and plates. Ill bring some chips and coke and similar, too.

please let me know if you are coming friday too, or just for saturday. I requested two beds and a rollout, too. we need to figure out a system to contact one another - we can start by giving me your number if you feel comfortable, and either way Ill give you my name so you can find our room

someone please volunteer their cd player, I have nothing to offer!

some people have brought up the issue of money - if you are really broke, please dont let that stop you from coming. the point is to get together, and it would be a really huge shame if someone didnt. chip in what you can, if you can, bring some music, some food if you can cook, drinks if you have a few dollars, but most importantly bring your fine self
