imthjckaz and I are having company! Cajun Man and DrMatrix are arriving in St. Cloud, Minnesota on Tuesday, October 23, and leaving on the following Sunday, the 28th. We are thinking of having a gathering at our house on the Friday or Saturday, or both, whatever works out best for the most people.
chique will be arriving from Spain the evening of the 27th, and if anyone is coming from the Twin Cities to St. Cloud that evening, she would like to ride with them so she can meet them too.
I am SO excited! I hope lots of people can come to meet them while they are here.
I didn’t think you’d be back in time. lno, there is a possibility of doing something both weekend nights. I am perfectly willing to have two smaller parties rather than one bigger one, if that means more people get to come and meet each other.
To be a little more specific, my flight arrives at 5:52 the evening of the 28th. If someone wants to save one of my family members a trip to the Cities, that would be GREAT. If not…well, I’ll play it by ear once I’m back home.
:: Crosses fingers that NOTHING goes wrong on my return flights, either… :
You know, I’m always the last to know about these things.
Besides, I don’t consider most of the people of the SDMB as company, but more of a large Dysfunctional Family.
We’re going to have a Moderator in our midst, is there any sort of protocol for the arrival of a Mod? Does this mean I hafta wear clean underwear?
Welcome to Minnesota Larry and John.
And lno, if it helps any, I may be able to secure the presence of a cow, so that you can, uh…tip it.
your assignment, should you choose to accept it, is to post a notice on your college bulletin board to ask for a ride from any St. Cloud students who are going to and from St. Cloud that weekend.
This is your chance to finally make it to an SDMB party. We would love to meet you, too. But if it takes a moderator to finally get you here, hey, that’s cool too!
SpiderWoman, if you promise to have methampheta…I mean…some REALLY STRONG coffee on hand the night of the 27th I’ll do my best to try to stay awake long enough to stop by that night.
**Where the heck are the rest of you MN types, anyhow??[/sub]
Here is a map of St. Cloud, and on the upper right are links to click for directions. And for those who prefer not to camp out at our house, here is a list of motels and hotels.
The more, the merrier!

It might be fun to go downtown that night to the bars, because I think that will be the annual Halloween costume party, and some of the college kids come up with some really creative costumes.
We will probably start things much earlier here, probably around noon or so. I haven’t worked out many more details than that. Questions, comments, and suggestions are greatly appreciated. Either post here or e-mail me.
And there still is the possibility of doing something Friday night also, for those who can’t make it Saturday.
I hope you are having fun! CJ & DrM would also like postcards if you get time. You can probably send them here, or they can e-mail you the NYC address after they get here. Stay safe!
jambalaya on Saturday for whoever is coming to our place. So far I am looking for Silver Fire, chique, and some local friends. Anyone else think they can make the trip?
