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?

Either Provo or SLC works for us. If it's SLC, we can ferry a group up to SLC in our van.

Hmm....I was thinking about coming the middle of September, but I haven't bought a ticket yet...

I don't think I'll have money to come the end of August.

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.

I'm going to Phoenix the week of Sept 19-25. FWIW.

P.S. Kat, are you going to be headquartered in SL or UT country?

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.

Mine will be bigger. [Evil Laugh]

I offer our home as a location. We even have an oven.

Now let's see if I get in trouble for offering it without consulting my wife. [Smile]

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. [Smile]

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 [Smile] Sept is so much nicer in Arizona [Wink]

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.

Granola? Yeah -- that would be good for Billtmas.

Which is what I am suggesting we call this next Utah clump.

Here's my suggestion - Billtmas at our place in Orem on Saturday, September 18.

How does that work for everybody?

Billtmas works. So long as you tell me how to pronounce it.

And what it means. [Dont Know]

Like I said, I'm planning on having everybody over at our place on Sept 18, unless anybody wants to change the place or date.

I'm not trying to force anything -- I'm just creating this time & place as a starting point.

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 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. [Smile]

IM or email me for directions to our home.

I just got the Apples to Apples box set (with the first and second expansion sets) and I can't wait to break it in.

Do pooka and I still want to do our Freudian bake-off, or should we hold out till the next meetup?

I guess we could bring our pre-baked goods to compare. What is a Hawaiian Haystack? What time do folks want to start?

I'm really glad talk like a pirate day doesn't coincide with fast sunday.
