P.S. I guess it will also be talk like a pirate day.
What kinds of time parameters are there as far as folks (Kat) being in the area, and folks returning to BYU? Should we have it at my house in Salt Lake or work out a location in Provo?

Mid september is also fine. I'm thinking.... I'm actually going to be in Phoenix again mid-September. Oddly enough. The dates are a swirling vortex of goo.

Do you have a definite date for mid-September? I haven't bought a ticket yet and it really doesn't matter for me, so I could coordinate that.

West Jordan at the most south, but possibly Bountiful. It depends on who I stay with - my best friend lives in West Jordan, but the grandparents are in Bountiful.
But if we do something that's down south, maybe Zevlag could pick me up on his way down?

I was going to wait to bump this, but Hatrack is one area of my life where procrastination actually evaporates.
It sounds like fewer people will have to travel if we come down to Provo, and I can pick you up from West Jordan, or Amka already lives somewhere out there if she is available. If we do it in Provo, though, does anyone have an oven willing to host it? Maybe we don't have to have the Freudian bake off at the same time.
I must admit, the thought did cross my mind, "He didn't talk to me about it first...." But that is fine. We would love to have everyone over! For those of you who might bring children, we have a wooden play gym in the back so us big people can talk big people stuff.

We could get a Phx/Tucson clump together in Sept couldn't we? I missed the last one in Tucson and would love it if I could meet Pooka while she is here Sept is so much nicer in Arizona

I think so. We haven't worked out whether we will have our kids with us or not. My husband can't ever plan anything more than 48 hours in advance.
P.S. But we have paid for a condo from Sept 19-24th.

Oooh, another Arizona get-together in September! Good thing we're not leaving to go out of town until the 23rd....

Perhaps lusti, pooka, and PSI, we should start our own AZ get together thread... I'm not planning on going anywhere that month...

pooka - I am, but not this weekend. I will next month. But date is uncertain, so don't plan around me.

Just as a friendly reminder, September also holds our dear Pirate Day. Do not forsake Pirate Day!

Huh. I managed to forget that I already knew pirate day was also billtmas. I've only seen Pirates of the Carribean once. Anyone up for that as part of the fest or are we all Depped out? (Or Bloomed out or Knightleyed out, or in the case of the truly bizarre, Rushed out?)

I'm looking for confirmation or refutation here -- are we having it at mine and bev's house in Orem?

I'm cool with that. I don't think anyone else is especially close to where I live. I could pick up a group of people from BYU. (to go to Porter's in Orem- in case that isn't clear).

Just want to bump this again and say our home is open to Hatrackers Sept 18th. We have a nomination to watch Pirates of the Carribean, and I plan to provide Hawiian haystacks for dinner. (Maybe virgin pinacoladas to drink?) With both Billtmas and Pirate Day, we have a tropical theme going on. So if we want to do a potluck meal, please bring something along those lines.
Heck, if you want to dress in a grass skirt or pirate garb, go right ahead with that too. Feel free to bring tropical-sounding music if you've got it.
What time do we want to gather? Does dinner and a movie work for people? Anyone up for Settlers of Catan? Or if you have Seafarers of Catan Expansion (we don't) feel free to bring that. We've never played it, but it is theme-related.
Also, if anyone has the games Taboo and Guestures, those are two of my favorite group games, and we own neither.
Edit: Oh, and I would really appreciate an RSVP in this thread to help with the planning.
