July 16th is out; danceswithcats has his company picnic then.
We’re thinking end of July, beginning of August.
Last year’s was a HUGE success. Much chili and chicken were prepared and consumed, and much mud was splashed in. [sub]Note to self: Bring an extra change of clothing for child, and remind norinew to do the same.[/sub]
Start making your plans now for this magnificent extravaganza!
Well, depending on which bay you’re next to – this may or may not be of interest to you, but …
Gettysdope is a big potluck picnic in Gettysburg, PA. We did it last year and it was such a huge success that MsRobyn and danceswithcats agreed to organize another one this year.
It’s basically an opportunity to meet people, with activities including eating and drinking, hanging out, playing music, playing games, jumping in mud puddles, etc. We had an amazing turnout of people from all over Pennsylvania, plus others from NY, NJ, MD, VA, DC, and points south. It was very fun and I for one have been agitating to know when the sequel was going to be.
23 July and 13 August both work so we can see you and the Philly cooperative, twickster. Dopers need to speak as to when the Fark they’d desire this to happen. Your dog wants to attend.
You’d fit right in. Uh, not that anyone else would be in Civil War regalia (though IIRC there was a sortie over to the battlefields), just that – well, we’re Dopers. If any group of random strangers would appreciate your showing up in uniform, it would be us.
And I asked the cat if he wanted to come – he gave me A Look.
I need to do some calendar-counting and figure out if those are weeks I have Saturday off (I have to work every other Saturday) and then I will let y’all know. I had a great time last year!
I was just reminded by counsel (okay, supervenusfreak, who’s not really a lawyer, not that that’s relevant here) that the last weekend of July is Harrisburg Pride, so that weekend is out for us (we’re booked). The weekend before and the weekend after (as mentioned in one of the posts above) are fine, however.
