(Not necessarily for Saturday night, but I'd like to go there at some point during the weekend. I loved writing stuff from The Book on the tablecloths last year. )

Mexican or Chinese could be problematic for us. Mexican - could contain lard. Chinese - they use meat broth in the stir fry - unless they have specifically vegetarian options.

Okay, then. Macaroni Grill for the big group outing Saturday night.
We'll probably do other stuff for other meals.
I will be providing delivery services for Ela and JaneX Saturday (will you need something Friday night, too?), but only because I like them better than the rest of you.
Ben, we can do a smaller group eating Asian for another meal.
I should have had our pre-WenchCon lunch at Mama Fu's! Posts: 1664 | Registered: Apr 2004

We will probably get take-out like we did last year for Friday night, so that shouldn't be a problem. Posts: 5771 | Registered: Nov 2000

You kids and your foreign food nonsense. A good ol' burger would do it for me. Just be happy I ain't there torturing you!

Mama Fu's is a fast foodish place with Thai, Chinese and Japanese food. It's a franchise started by the same guy who did the Moe's chain.
Everything I've had there has been good, though I usually prefer real Chinese food, Japanese hibachi or real Thai places.
Ron will go to Mama Fu's because he can get decent thai, and I go because he won't go with me to Peking Tokyo and the boys won't sit still at Chin Chin.
Oh, CRAP. I've gone and made myself hungry. Posts: 1664 | Registered: Apr 2004

Love Improv! I tried getting people to goto Dad's Garage last year but nobody came with me. It's an Improv Theater.

Um, about church. Is anyone else going who's LDS? I looked up the nearest chapel, and it seems to have wards that meet at 9 and 1. I am leaving at 4:10, which means we would have to leave for the airport pretty much right after Sacrament if we went to the 1 pm service. I'd prefer the 9 am, because then I would have time in between church and departure, but I will cede my preferences if there is someone else LDS who will be going with and wants to go at 1.

Y'all are going to have to have fun without me. I was supposed to go from Vegas to Atlanta to Dallas, but the travel office flubbered and someone gave an override and I come home from Vegas to Dallas on Thursday night. I don't have money to buy a ticket for next weekend, so I can't come. I'm sorry. Someone flirt with Frisco for me. And I have a dress!! A lovely red, crushed velvet dress that Ketch made me. I'll have to save it for another time.

Lucky 4, will you e-mail me? I wanted to ask yous something, but I can't get your e-mail 'cause it's not in your profile, you know. Mine is. Posts: 21182 | Registered: Sep 2004

Oh, I wouldn't care what anyone else thought. I do wonder, though, if you're really willing to loiter for 3 hours... (Of course, we don't always get through all 3 hours, because of Emma, but she's getting better.)

We can work something out - worst case scenario, I come back and pick you up or leave you with my cell so you can call someone back at the hotel.
Or I can just buy a book I haven't read yet and kill three hours. Trust me - I've done it before.

Dude Kat, you aren't going to make it? That sucks... Anything we can do for you in your absence? Get you a T-Shirt? I have a new digital camera, so pictures galore would be available...

The bus'll take me either to the station by the airport at 11:25 or to Marietta at 12:55. Which would be best for whoever will be doing the running around?

Oh, wait 'till you meet her. She's a little flirt. Babies are supposed, according to studies, to like to look at and interact with children and people of their own gender better than others. However, while she is getting more interested in babies, I suppose, she has been going for adult men over anyone else in the room since she was born. Especially handsome ones.
Her father is worried.

If I get fabric markers (that don't wash or dryclean out), will anyone use them to sign t-shirts, or do you prefer I just bring my extensive collection of Sharpies (which will wash out after a while, but come in ever so many colors)?

Okay. I think a 6-pack is, like, $15, but I think my mother-in-law has a 30% off coupon for a store that should sell them. I'll try to pick some up before I go.

You know, since I don't actually get to buy a t-shirt. But I will be bringing a plain one, as well as a onesie for Ems. Posts: 21182 | Registered: Sep 2004

Or, after checking, Crayola makes a 10-pack that sells for about $4. But I don't know how much I trust Crayola; their reputation for stuff like this isn't as great as it could be.

Well, I got the Crayola ones, because they were indeed $4 for a 10-pack at Target. The instructions say to put cardboard or something between layers, make sure to saturate the fabric, and that you need to set the color with heat, either by ironing or by throwing in the dryer for 30 minutes, but after you do that, it's permanent and won't run. Do you think we can deal with that, or do I need to get the good ones (that come in a 6-pack for about $15 but don't need to be set or anything and are instantly permanent)?

Okay, your Events Coordinator hasn't actually fallen off the face of Middle Earth.
I think it's already been decided to run a movie marathon (with games in the background) on Friday night.
ROTK will be shown Saturday morning. Afterwards, we'll break for lunch. Following that will be "naptime", and then on to the Activities!
Proposed Playtime Activities:
Dress-Up. This has been the most popular activity at all previous Wench Cons. We will take some time to put on our finery and take pictures. We will wear our costumes for the rest of the day. For those of you without capes, extras will be provided.
Dwarven Metalworkers Fashion Show. Teams of dwarves will compete to design the most fetching protective gear. All materials will be provided by your Wench Hostesses. The design period will be followed by a fashion show.
Uruk-Haiku poetry reading. All orcs welcome. You may read your own, or someone else's by permission. Please see the Uruk-Haiku thread.
Bard Contest. You might want to begin working on this one now. Create original music to any of Tolkien's poetry from the canon, or come up with your own original Middle Earth ballad. Instruments are encouraged.
Action Figure Action. Categories for this year's scenarios include "Best Scene from a LOTR movie/book", "Best Reality Show", and "Best Musical".
Dinner. When we go to dinner, everyone will be in costume.
Nightclubbing. Olivetta and Jenny Gardener have been trying for 3 years to go out in Sexy Boots. Anyone else want to party with us?
Any other ideas, suggestions, etc. are appreciated. I'm ready to have a wonderful time! Posts: 3141 | Registered: Apr 2000

I love this! I'm already working on putting two poems to music, and I'd love to sing them (if I get them done). I won't have an instrument, though, and even if I did, I don't think I'm to the level where I can play as I sing yet.

Jenny has a lovely version of The Road Goes Ever On and On that she sang for us at the first WenchCon. Gave me chills. She's read her little one the stories and sings the songs when she comes to them.
So, kq, without music is fine, probably the rule, not the exception.
UPDATE ON KARAOKE: I WILL have a karaoke machine, though it may be of the intensely cheap variety. Bring any and all karaoke music you can lay hands upon, and we shall do our best.
I'm sure Jenny and I will only club a knight that really asks for it. Posts: 1664 | Registered: Apr 2004

The one I think I'll finish is Legolas' Song of the Sea. I think it's turning out well; I just need to pull out my music notation software and write it down so I can practice and will have something to glance at if I get nervous. Posts: 21182 | Registered: Sep 2004
