The other tribe (Team Laissez faire?) may or may not show up, won't make any plans in advance, might bring enough food or booze, but might not - they'll arrive unexpected, maybe early, maybe late - and will leave unannounced (when the food & booze run out?) They might even end up in Yosemite instead.

At the end of the trip (if it can be determined) both tribes will post stories and pictures and a disinterested third party (Todd?) will announce a winner

If this happens, I'd try to go. And I'd be on Team Laissez-faire. Cuz that's how I roll.

I like it. I really do. I'm tellin' ya that. I say, I'm tellin' ya that.

Ghoulish Delight · 03-13-2008, 09:05 PM

That's patently ridiculous.

Todd is anything but disinterested.

Just FYI - planing can go on without me. Something came up for those dates. If things change I will let ya'all know.

Do the sites have enough room for this tent?

Morrigoon · 03-14-2008, 10:17 AM

Duuuude... are you seriously thinking about bringing it? haha...

No

It requires a trailer to transport (which I could do, but won't) and requires about four people during parts of the set up, which takes about three hours, and the tear-down and packing is about two hours.

It's a bit much.

Although Susan and I will be purchasing something like this (from Panther Primitives) in the near future (but not before this year's swanking):

Morrigoon · 03-14-2008, 10:28 AM

Wow, yeah, that'd be a bit much for a short weekend. (the set up and tear down, I mean)

We join them (and get one of the two rounds) at the Potrero (SCA) War over Memorial Day weekend and Imperial War over Labor Day weekend. Set it up on Friday and tear down on Monday.

We also set up a communal kitchen/pantry used by three families. The photos are too large to post here, but you can see pix here (the kitchen and pantry photos are the last five).
