Draft schedule

http://www.brickfest.com/schedule2001.html

The schedule has the Pirate Game down for 1:00 PM to whenever on
Saturday. I just wanted to get a feel from folks for how they felt about
that time frame. Last year we started setup sometime in the morning, and
the game itself started sometime around noon or so, and ran until 6 or
7. There was a definite feeling that if we had been able to set up the
night before, it would have been better, and a bunch of folks would have
been happy to continue playing.

   That time frame seems a bit restrictive.  We pirates don't
   cotton to rules n' regulations!  Arrrrr!  (Well, okay, we do,
   but don't tell anyone.)

I'm not sure what the space will be like this year, but if there's
enough interest, I think it would be better to start in the morning, and
if at all possible, be able to set up the night before (which would
require lockable space). I'd also like to be able to make more allowance
for breaks for other events, which would help me increase my stamina,
and would probably be beneficial to others also.

Anyway, if you have any thoughts, feel free to share.

   The person next to me in the internet cafe smells funny.  Oh,
   wait, you meant thoughts about the subject matter!  :)

   I agree with Frank's observations above, although he already
   knows that I do!  I know that I would be perfectly willing to
   devote my being to helping set up/move things the night before,
   or in the morning.  Frank, I don't know what your arrangements
   are, but perhaps a few of us who are most Pirate-Game-covetous
   ought to share a room or somesuch to keep the logistics simple,
   and to retreat to if we don't have lockable space.

   So if we can start the day before, or even in the morning of
   Saturday, with our setup all the better.  I teach T and Th so
   I can arrive early on Friday and leave late on Sunday.  (Oh,
   yes, and the K-8s demand early attention...we've got to make
   range sticks and pilfer ship and island parts for the Game! ;) )

   Anyways, let me know--perhaps the Pirate devotees can talk
   about it in detail if we have our Mini-Game in June?  (I do
   hope that's still on!)

   all best

(...) Yea, well he probably thinks you smell funny too... (how often did pirates take baths? :-) :-) :-) (...) Chris and I shared a room last year, and we definitely took at least some advantage of that, though most of it was a postmortem Sunday (...) (23 years ago, 8-Apr-01, to lugnet.gaming)
