As we explained in the various emails we sent out back in January, and in our private discussions with many of you, and a couple of times in this blog (see the first post), we have structured the festival so that you tell US when you can come, you USE THE BLOG to TALK TO EACH OTHER about WHAT YOU want to do while you're here, and WALAH! we will have a schedule.
It would hardly be worth your while to haul ass across x number of States or the Atlantic Ocean only to have to conform to whatever Olchar and Warren & co. feel like doing without your input. If that is what Post-Neo is about, what's the fucking point? Are we wrong? No, we're not! (ha ha!)
Time is running out, so let's start talking about this (and not in emails we don't have time to answer).
This is the plan, right?:
LEAVE A COMMENT to this post telling everyone which weekends you THINK or HOPE to POSSIBLY be coming. Even if you're not sure yet, let everybody know the possibilities and we can at least BEGIN to get a picture of how each weekend might shape up. This way you can see when your friends will be out, when people you've heard of but not yet met will be out; AND possibly arrange carpools, help each other find cheap flights, etc etc etc. And Warren and Olchar have a little less stress.
EVERYBODY WINS.
If you want, you can even throw some ideas out in your own posts about what might be fun to DO while you're down here, and add some comments to discuss the ideas that Aaron, Warren, Olchar, Reid, and Lenny have already posted (with more to come).
We don't want to want to end up in mid-May with none of these specifics figured out!

I'm so sad I missed the Silent Soiree, it looked like a lot of fun! Us brits should (should!) be arriving round about the 16th June and will be staying for a minimum of 2 weekends.
We have been vaguely discussing the idea of having some kind of anti-banquet during the festival. It would feature a variety of edible and, of course, anti-edible delights, pre/after/during dinner speaches and toasts to our various anti-gods.
There could also arrange some kind of game evening. We could either bring Tickle Mr Hand-Me-Down with or assemble a version over there. David could bring his card game, The Great Debate and we could yell at eachother. There could be other games. It would be good.
David also would like to do a play but I'm sure he'll post about that in more detail when he can be arsed.
Game NIGHT! I love this idea and we've been hatching some similar notion around our hearth! I made a Stratego variant called Stratifesto that can be played by two or more players, there is Olchars Game of Lie, Chi-Kit Kwong's toys (which are so playable-withable) and some role-playing type games we've worked on a long time ago in Columbus that could be dusted off! OH how my hit points ache to play! Banquet night very much also!
Yes! This COULD possibly be the same weekend as the Anti-Sports day if we want to make it a theme. We could spread it out too, do a couple games each weekend, it might be hard to fit them all in one night...
The anti-banquet is s great idea too, with lots of precendece inside Post-Neo and out. Dave Hartke's working on the Post-Neo cookbook series for one--tons of food stuff in Columbus Post-Neo. And the Surrealists did some banquests too. I can't cook for shit but for the edible bits Brad and Evan (future housemate) love to cook, and probably some others.
I might paste yur ideasinto seperate posts so people can discuss them, since they might not notice the comments.
As long as its a weekend and I can tell work to fuck off two weeks in advance, I can be there!
