The Cemetery in Swank, comfort and portability

Not Afraid · 05-21-2006, 04:19 PM

Now that we've been doing the Cemetery thing for a while, we seem to have a few things down. Then, there's a few other things we must still work on.

The good:

Our fold up, zip into it's own carrying case, blankets. (Here's something similar)
Our picnic gear
Candles
The nimi table that comes with my picnic basket.

Last week, I used the new, lovely SCE Loto picnic backpack and found it really easy to carry and deal with. While not as swanky as my classic woven basket, it was incredible portable. However, it doesn't come with a table.

Therefore, I'm considering this little beauty.

Now, beyond that, we've got the seating conundrum.

If we bring chairs, we are forced to sit on the side, however we would be comfy. I have stadium seats that work for about an hour, then I want out. ISM has been bringing a large bed-lounge pillow, but ut doesn't really stay propped up with nothing to lean against.

I'd like to keep the portability option in there as well.

One of the pool aior matresses with a back rest would be ideal, but I'm not gonna blow that thing up!

Someone brought a GIANT Love Sack last night which made me jealous, but who wants to carry that thing?

So, I really think this is our only comfort deficit at the Cemetery, Anyone have any ideas?

OOooh, yyeesss, that's the UltiMAte in comfort appropos.

And yes, the seating connundrum is what has me most perplexed. Jealous as I was over the love sack, the ingeniousness of making all of our provisions PORTABLE is part of the swankly fun.

My pillow scene seems to fall apart only when we lose our back support in the screening transformation (for those in the dark, there's "picnic" mode and "screening" mode seating for the different stages of the cemetery events.)

I think what I'm going to try next is ballast ... stuffing that big duffel with rolled-up sleeping bags and such, so's we can lean against it. That may leave us back with 2-much-2-carry, but I'm gonna give it a go next time.

Of course, we're gonna need some sort of stadium seating plan for when we have big groups on the Giant Square o' Blankets.

If you paint flames on it, Coaster Matt will buy it

Well, there is this but it's probably too high. Then there is this but I'm not sure how easy it would be to inflate (and it's $$$). This one looks interesting too. You can adjust the back on this one and this one looks to be auto inflataible.

Inflation is an issue since we usually walk in. I worry about the stadium seats/camp chairs because, that is similar to what we have and they aren't very comfortable. They actually cause slumping, which does me in pretty quickly. Although ours are not inflatable.

What I REALLY want is a Pool Float Chair. But, we've got the inflation issue.

Steve, what do you think about that little table?

wendybeth · 05-21-2006, 06:48 PM

Hey, looky what I found!

CoasterMatt · 05-21-2006, 06:57 PM

OMG! I used to have something similiar to that, and my mom would go to the trouble each halloween of making ice cubes with water dyed red.

A small hand pump may solve that issue. Or viagra.
