I could try to whip something up in a few and then you guys can input into the document or spreadsheet.

Here's the spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qEL-b4BVtSOe6EG9Ud2W_bWQ5fMypPlRQ1Tb6ngspng/edit?usp=sharing

I would much appreciate if those who plan on attending can also make an input there. Of course, you can still attend if you don't respond there. Feel free to change/add anything besides others' answers of course.

Nice work, again, Feilong4.

 

[Feilong4]

Alright, I just shot an email to presumably the park manager listed on the site requesting the location and asking some questions.

Here are some of the questions I asked:

- Are there bathrooms?
- Are we allowed to bring snacks and drinks (non-alcoholic beverages)?
- How many tables and chairs are provided?

I asked a few other questions regarding the total cost and other technical questions.

Any other questions you guys would like me to ask?

Number/location of outlets? Location perhaps less critical with extensions, but would be good to know if we have a couple on different walls.

I'll try and drop by sometime this week to check that (assuming the building isn't locked when not in use).

Otherwise, I'll ask that when I get a response.

I've got a response from the park manager (Christian Swanberg).

All 3 buildings that I mentioned are booked on May 5th to my surprise.

However, it seems like May 12th (the following Sunday) is open for the Autumngrove Park Building, and so I will go through with that date unless many are unable to attend that day.

EDIT: I totally forgot May 12th is Mother's Day haha. The other available date is May 26th right before Memorial Day at the Autumngrove Park Building.

Edit 2: I should also add that all 3 buildings are fully booked for the months of June and July besides the Rosebrooke building on June 23rd.

I will message everyone to have a better idea of attendance. I think I shot everyone a message here on Head-Fi. Sorry if I missed someone - let me know via PM or here on this thread if I missed you.

Also, I've yet to drop by the Autumngrove Park Building to check up on the electrical outlets. I'll try to do that tomorrow.

 

[DarthMarth]

I could still make it.

 

[Paul Schliep]

I believe I can still make it

 

[Feilong4]

I stopped by the Autumngrove park building. The main room is a bit smaller than I expected but should still be a good amount of room. There is a separate "warming room" which is smaller but can also be used as well.

I counted 8 electrical outlets in the main room. I couldn't fully see the warming room but I saw at least a couple in there.

I would advise to bring in your own power strips and other electrical cords if you plan to set up a station.

Also to those who have not responded to my message yet, please do let me know whether you can or cannot attend on May 26th. I would like to know by this Sunday (April 21st) at the latest. So far, I've heard back from 8 of 21 people. Please let me know so I know how many people to expect, or to reschedule if a low turn-out is expected.

Christian (park manager) tells me that reservations are made upon payment, so that date is not guaranteed until the payment has been made. If we expect a decent turn-out (again by letting me know through my PM or here on this thread), I can go ahead and start a GoFundMe on Monday, April 22nd. I will end the GoFundMe as soon as the goal is reached.

I should still be able to make it.

 

[Feilong4]

So far I have heard back from 11 of 21 people on whether or not they can attend. I'd like even a simple, "I'm not sure yet". Please let me know by tomorrow.

 

[nnordstr]

I'm in.

 

[LeMoviedave]

I'm sorry. I didn't know yet.

 

[Feilong4]

As of now, 12 people out of 21 people have let me know whether or not they can come. I'll extend this until Wednesday. I'll drop a message to those that haven't replied yet tomorrow.

 

[Spedinfargo]

Apologies for not replying to the thread (if I'm one of the 21). I broke my damn foot a few weeks ago and am unable to drive so no spontaneous trip to the Cities for me unfortunately. Now, if someone is planning on showing up with a pair of Stellias, might have to reconsider
