Yosarian's Parents' BeachBam 2008 (weekend of August 1)

[Yosarian2]

ArtherDent (7:42:18 PM): Random quote that sounds bad taken out of context..."Yeah, I told my parents that a number of my mafia associates would be coming down to New Jersey in a few weeks"

I need to be more careful what I say, being Italian and all.

So, anyway, how many people are going to be there? Just 4 or 5 or so? Anyone else planning on coming?

I'm tempted to get a signature just to be able to quote that. Then again, I used to play "spot the limo that must *obviously* belong to the mob" on the Turnpike when I was a kid.

We checked with the folks this weekend. We will definitely be at the beach house and not the other house.

[Thestatusquo]

i might take u up on that if no better options present themselves

I took the train from Penn, Pooks... It's a 25 minute train ride and it costs 5$. NJT is not bad. I'd say thats a better option than the bus, but what do I know.

[Yosarian2]

Current list:

OGML
Ether
Incognito
IH
Pooky (?)

I might invite some non-mafia friends of mine over too, if that's fine with everyone (and if they won't be bored by some serious board-gaming and mafia playing stuff, or they might just go to the beach if they do, heh).

Anyway, if you guys are definatly coming, I'll send you my address and stuff. Is anyone else considering coming at this point?

[Thestatusquo]

Considering it...I just don't know how likely it is.

[Yosarian2]

Ok, cool Shea. I hope you can come.

[Malyss]

So far, 3 of our other associates are definitely going to be there. Two to three are considering it.

[Malyss]

In general and within reason, what do you people eat? I mean other than newborn children and half & half creamers?

We have access to the kitchen and the barbecue grill may or may not be working. According to the 'rents, they have it working somewhat. It had not been working at all at one point.

The island has the standard delivery places: subs, pizza, Chinese. There is a small grocery store and a liquor store down the block. A Wawa is located a few blocks away. Around the corner, there is a Rita's Water Ice.

And what shape should the pinata be?

[OhGodMyLife]

and half & half creamers?

I just had water come out my nose from laughing at this.

I will be taking all of my meals at the wawa, because I <3 wawa.

That, and whatever anyone wants to cook I'll probably eat.

[Thestatusquo]

Lots and lots of meat?

[Glork]

So, like, first weekend in Augest then?

In Kansas City for a wedding.... looks like I'll have to miss this one, guys.

[Fritzler]

And what shape should the pinata be?

A unicorn.

[pablito]

Considering the proximity to AC and liquor as well, put me at 25%. I live in Philly and thus can easily drive down the AC expy. It mostly depends on work schedule actually.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

im at 80%ish

[Yosarian2]

Very cool.

What time does everyone want to arrive? If people want to come earlier on Friday or on Thursday or whatever, I can probably just take the day off from work Friday.

Current list:

OGML
Ether
Incognito
IH
Pooky (80%)
Shea (possibly)
Pablito (25%)

Yosarian and Malyss, obv

And several of our other friends; at least 3, possibly more.

[Thestatusquo]

If I come, I'll be taking the OGML plan of action (If he wants me), in which case my schedule will be dictated by him.

[Yosarian2]

Me and Heather both managed to take off from work on Friday Augest 1st, so if some people want to show up Friday morning, it should be fine.

[OhGodMyLife]

Possible problem, though it should be solvable pretty easily:

I broke my toe today (pretty badly) and of course it was my right foot so I may not be able to drive again before BeachBam weekend.

So, we can still take my car, but someone else will have to be the driver. And sadly if the recovery is still ongoing I might not be able to swim, which kills me. But that just means more time for mafia.

This does make it necessary that at least one of Pooky and Shea make the trip though since Ether doesn't have her license yet... right Ether? Correct me if you've got it now.

[Malyss]

Geez, Snozz, if you didn't want to come to the party...you could have just told us!

I hope that everything works out and that you kids make it down to the beach house.

[Yosarian2]

Bump.

So, any updates on who might be coming yet or anything?

[ShadowLurker]

PATH to Newark

then ??

[Yosarian2]

No direct way from Newark to Atlantic City on public transportation, I'm afraid...you can take a bus or a train there from Philadelphia, though

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

when is the time on this again?
