Rules and reminders:
- Eye protection required, no exceptions.
- Gun restrictions will be decided on a case-by-case basis pending power (pain) and realistic appearance (police). If you aren't sure if it'll get banned, A) post it, B ) don't bring it, or C) bring a backup.
- DRESS APPROPRIATELY. It's on a hill and thus windy. It's in MN and thus cold. We'll have no clothes to lend for chills nor patience to lend for whines.
- We'll have a lunch break around 12 or 1; whenever people feel like it. Bring food or moolah for the close-by fast-food restaurants.
- Use common sense.

Please state whether you are coming officially or potentially. And in the words of Ryan, "if you say you're coming officially, you'd better f**king come."

What about March 15? I think that is the only day I can make it.

[themessiahpsg1]

I can't do it the 5th, 22nd looks the best, but either way, i'd need a ride, because niether my parents nor the buses are being cooperative...
who drives past ssp on their way?

[venom213]

The only time that won't work for me is the second weekend in April, the 12th. Otherwise I will probably be there, if I can get a ride.

[Flaming Hilt]

You sure, Sam? I mean, it works, I guess, but it's kinda early... *shrug.* If it works.

Messiah, if nobody else can give you a ride, I guess I can leave a little early. I'd want to get there right at 10 though, or earlier.

Venom, I'd like more than a probably, if that's not too much to ask. : o`

[2nd Sniper]

What's the facebook link?

I'd say probably for me. Most of my guns are out of order from delayed (by school) projects or just lack of parts or need to finish them. But if (which I think I can) I finish my homemades and get all my guns in shape then I plan on being there.

[Flaming Hilt]

It's just for the Mtka area, sorry. : o'

We'll all have plenty of guns you can borrow. No excuses there. (oP

[sam]

You sure, Sam? I mean, it works, I guess, but it's kinda early... *shrug.* If it works.

Its only the weekend before the 22nd.

Also, get in contact with Carrtoon, Ryan, Carbon, and the other "Big shooters".

[Flaming Hilt]

: o.
...okay.

Done, them and Bustaninja (from the MN thread). Anybody else?

[sam]

Rings!

Also I'll post something about this on NHQ, I noticed there was a few MNers that are not on NH there.

[Carbon]

March isn't in the cards for me...I have a half-dozen gigs (Celtic band + March = Busy).

On the war subject, I mentioned to FH that I'll be getting up to central WI to scout some areas possibly in February, definitely in April, so I'll get that going as soon as I can.

I have hopes of getting to two or three wars this summer...I'm itching for it.

I'm good for all of those dates...I'm pretty flexible. I just have to know in advance so I can take off work. I'm thinking about staying at a hotel either the friday before or saturday night. Driving 12 hours in one day blows.

Carbon if we do decide to make it in April or somehow you can come, I'll be down for driving you from Madison again.

[Flaming Hilt]

Okay, looking at the strike through list I guess we're left with early or late, and either way we lose Carbon or Sam, respectively. Anybody else feeling picky?

I PMed Rings so we'll see what he says.

Carbon, could you make it that last April weekend? Everything I just said is assuming you can...

[BustaNinja]

Ok, those dates sound pretty good. As I PMed to Hilt, I need to make arrangments.

[Flaming Hilt]

Okay, I checked with Carbon and April dates are tough for him. I hate to do this but I just removed him from the count.

It looks like we're going to settle with March 15th. I'll let that soak in for a week and if there are no objections it'll be finalized.

[venom213]

March 15 sounds good. I have to check with anyone who could possibly take me there. But my schedule is clear. I just hope all the snow is gone and it is somewhat dry by then.

[Flaming Hilt]

Okay, it sounds like a lot of you are going to need rides. I can provide that. It may not be in a timely manner if I have to run around the state picking ya'll up, but at least we'll all be there.

I'd rather not have to though, so try and find another ride first. : o)

Also, again, not having guns isn't an excuse, because those of us with guns have plenty and will let you borrow some. Some.
...if you're nice to them.
I mean, you might have to pet them.

[themessiahpsg1]

I am scheduled for drill (army training) on the 15th, but i'll try to move it so I can come...
so keep me in.
also, did anyone check to see if there were any pot heads playing whilst we nerf?

[sam]

I rarely understand what your saying.

[sam]

Well, today was productive! I talked to Carrtoon, and he's in! He also said he would talk to Janga and see if he can come.

[LordoftheRing434]

I haven't been on the boards for the better part of 3 months. Boy I'm lucky I came by to check things now. I would be able to swing March 15th I'm pretty sure, along with one of my former clan members. Any possible more I will soon see, but that could just be it. Any of the other dates would likely work for me as well, minus the 22nd. I'm fairly sure I can make it to the date set now though, given none of the following happens:

1.) A project/paper should hopefully not be due that next Monday. I will prepare as best I can in advance if that's the case, but if I'm behind, I should keep my focus on school.

2.) My spring break begins on the 15th. That means my parents will be anxious to know when to pick me up to bring me back to Duluth for a few days. If for some dire reason that they need to pick me up on the 15th, I'll need to return then with them. Again, I'll do my best to steer clear of that.

3.) If my dorm core-blocks students or closes for spring break, I will be shit out of luck for being able to stick around the Cities. The closest I might be able to stay would be in St. Cloud with the friend I was planning to bring along. I don't anticipate this happening though, so that should be ok.

If one of the above situations arises and jeopardizes my attendence, I will do my absolute best to correct that. I'll make sure to check the boards a little more often now and again to see what's up. My current RSVP: Attending unless one of the big elephants above sits in my path.

[sam]

So let me give a little head count:
Me
Carrtoon
Hilt +???
Ryan201821
Rings+1
2nd loser
Venom213
themessiahpsg1
BustaNinja

unknowns:
Janga+???
Elf Avec Gun

Hilt, how many are you bringing?

[Flaming Hilt]

...dang, that is a long list of people.

I'm excited.

Business: Rings! Awesome you checked in. Those are some interesting situations. I hope none of them happen. Best of luck. : o)

I'm not going to put people on the potentials list unless they PM me or post in the thread.

I don't have a head count yet, I'm waiting to finalize the date before letting everyone know, but I'm guessing anywhere from 5-15. Fifteen would be sweet... but, I think that might be pushing it. There are 18 people I'll be contacting though, so I think 5 is definitely reasonable.

Still waiting for objections on March 15th... if there aren't any in a week I'll finalize it.

Messiah, any word on your training?

[Ryan201821]

Looks like it will hopefully a good turnout.

I'm excited too.

Is it the same place as we were at this summer?

[sam]

Yep! Same place.
