So, as the time draws near, any other questions?

There are people who said they'd go and then disappeared or haven't spoken of it again, Juncmodule, Clex, JetXL

and Ben, any chance of it?

Wow dude, hold on. I already booked my flight and stuff. So I'm coming.

Question 1: I'm not bringing a tent but only a sleeping bag. Is there a warm, dry and quasi clean floor to sleep on?
Queation 2: Who and how many are comming. Just give an optimistic guess.
Awnser A: My laptop stays home ...and the dutch weed to. ;) (never mess with the Dutch custums, and don't look them in the eye)

Man, if I were going I would SO conquer that island and declare it as my own.

eric, can you post the full postal address of the place? I hear that US Customs won't allow you into the country these days without a full address of where you'll be staying.

And I'll add my voice to the "give us a list of who's coming" gang :P

How are we doing with sleeping/tent space? Will any of us Europeans need to bring tents with us?

I know that if you PM him, he'll give you the full address.  He did for me, at least.

MrColossal

Ok CJ and everyone else coming from over seas, PM me and I'll PM the address to you, s'ok?

This may be a very important thing! So it must be done!

I don't really have a full list of people that are coming because there are still a lot of maybes, Dave Gilbert would have the best list I'm sure since a lot of the americans are all "waa, I have to spend money.. poo poo"

It's not as if I am whiny because I have to spend money. I'm whiny because I have no money to spend!

... I got a job for one main reason: So that I could go to Mittens.

Also, I want to be RICH RICH RICH!!!!11... ok, back to work.

Grundislav

Alright, just to confirm, I've booked my flight, so Grundislav will finally be attending a Mittens. 

Abandon hope all ye.

More Questions:

1. What will the weather be like? Will I be allright with a couple of sheets? I plan to omit my sleeping bag, since I want to travel only with a small ruck-sack (which will count as hand luggage). This will save me precious time when the rest of the van-crew is waiting for me.
I usually travel extremely lightly, even on longer trips, just to save time at the luggage retrieval.

2. Will there be a guitar?

3. Will we go to Albany (or some other hip place) and visit some club? Should I bring a fancy shirt and a shaving device?

m0ds

How much is a cinema ticket? Is there a cinema nearby? Would it be possible to see I, Robot? Because it doesn't come out in the UK until August 6th!!

I presume the majority of us are staying in tents? Who is bringing tents?

Will we then need to pack a sleeping-bag?

I'll probably take a relavitley large bag just for clothes and my rucksack. Me sleeping back would fit so that's not a problem.

Andail appears to be bringing one pair of underpants :D

MrColossal

No, the majority of you will be sleeping in beds, there's enough room with doubling up, for 10 people to sleep in beds

then there's room on the floor, we have a tent so no worries, there is a drive in nearby and if you want to bring a sleeping bag then go ahead, but there will be enough blankets

sometimes it gets chilly so pack a pair of pants and a warm shirt or something

Well, I'm coming, and I own a Fender acoustic and a Martin Acoustic.  I plan on bringing at least one.

And is anyone bringing a laptop?

I'll see about bringing a laptop.Ã,  I'm happy to hear that there may be beds for everyone. Do we get to call bunk mates?Ã,  :P

So, this startes Friday the 23rd, and goes till when? Till the next Friday, then "Everybody off my property" as two shots ring out into the air....

I was going to bring a laptop.. I was preparing it and all with all the goodies and whatnot, but then a piece of it blew up (seriously, it was like someone stuck a m-80 (a type of firework for you foreigners) inside and lit it) and now it runs but only if you hook it up to a monitor since part of the piece that broke gave power to the LCD screen. The thing, though, is that I had fixed so that it was running beautifully... better than it ever did. The laptop is my friend's, and he's going to buy a new part but it's not going to come in time for me to fix it and take it with me (which I wasn't counting on doing anyway).

If you want a simpler explanation to my paragraph above, the computer is a Compaq, pre-HP-owed days. :P

Still, I am bringing a few goodies on CD, so I sure hope someone is brining a laptop so I can show some of my stuff....! Somebody better bring a laptop or something because I bet you really want to see some of this top secret netmonkey stuff.  ;)

I can bring a s-video to video (your regular RCA yellow end cable) adapter, though!

Cats are cool.

3-4 days left, guys! OMGROFLMAO!!! (well, 4 for me. I'm in on saturday)
