Here's my suggestion - people who are interested in attending should PM Calvin with their preferred date (JUST ONE) of the four suggested here.
Calvin can decide when the voting is closed.
Ok, anyone else want to plan with Calvin and I?
Calvin - you live in NYC right?

Well, Calvin will be away. He is going to rig this lottery so that all of his and his family's picks get chosen! Does the committee release the actual voting tally!? I demand justice!
There is nothing to plan, dear - you pick a date, everyone meets in the park. We have a spot we've used for the past couple of years. Date and time is all that needs to be planned.
Tink, do you want to have the votes PM'ed to you instead of Calvin?
Why am I being so controlling?
Because you have experience.
Don't you need to organize food and all that stuff? I dunno, never been to one before. All I know is that a bunch of us will be meeting at a bar first! :)

Rath, I highly trust your experience in the matter so I'd like you to at least stay on hand and steer us all in the right direction. And let it be away from Alisan Porter.
edit; you bring your own sh*t. If Rath had it her way, she'd be eating off of Debra Monk's hands and I don't believe you have any of those in supply
Um, do you need an answer to that?
Hey, did we eliminate the Flea Market weekend picnic?
You got a problem with Porter, bitch???
No, Tink, everyone brings their own food. And it might be better to hit the bar after.
oh ok great **puts away industrial size party planing binder**
Shamey, why would we do that, silly? We can have two picnics.
And C, if Debra is there, I will be on the other side of the city. I am the anti-stalker. I am terrified of her.
I do live in NYC, and I don't mind counting votes. Like Rath said, it's really not difficult to "plan." We set a date, people show up and bring their own food.
And remember, C, vote-counters can be swayed by flirting, too.
And shameless, I think the idea was to do something the flea market weekend, too, but to go ahead and do something in August to accomodate the local college crowd.
Ok, so it's official. Just e-mail your request to Calvin and shut the hell up!
:)
Calvin, take out that last sentence or you'll lose 95% of the adults.
Note to adults: the younger crowd we had last year was fabulous. Of course, I'm only 21 myself, so...

Rath, I must tell you I love me some Curly Sue, but if she and her friends think they can get away with that travesty over at the Chorus Line lotto I demand she be fired!
With the talks of such hostility towards a younger crew, I may have to come with a fake BWW alias. And besides, I think you all got a kick out of WhoreOnHeels more than you ever have from me anyway.
Calvin diplomatically placed himself squarely between the younger adults and the more, shall we say, "seasoned" group last year.
C, I know nothing about that. Is little Bebe involved in some shady activities?

Calvin was a fantastic buffer. An excellent channel, if you will, between the Big Old Blanket and the Sandbox. On behalf of those present last year under 21, I must say that we all were great and enjoyed ourselves despite the obvious divide.
edit; Well if you don't mind laughing at some comments that were made and reading seven pages of more or less the same two sides converging in massive whining: Go for it! Either way, she was one of the highlights of the revival for me and I'd like to believe that lottery sytems are not something to complain about. If the day ever comes when they are taken away, Heaven help this board.
Rath, check out the ACL lotto thread on the main board.
OK, guys, PM me (I already got one!) and I'll post the results, oh let's just say, a week from Friday to give those people halfway around the world right now a chance to have their say.
I'll also give this thread an occasional bump as necessary.
People halfway across the world are checking in around here more often than plenty of others, I wouldn't worry.
C, I went and read the first page. I can't believe it's 7 pages long. Completely ridiculous.
Aw, have fun, guys!
Rav, we'll save a spot for you in three years!
Aw, I'm touched that you even remembered that.

Rath, I believe we all consider you as the semi-president of the picnic. Our "Lady of the Spa" type figure to welcome one and all to the park :-p
This year, I am going to bring a balloon so those who are coming for their first time can find the circle of folks under the tree easier.
