MEMORIAL WEEKEND APPROACHETH! You all know what that means.

[omphale23]

So. This year, the annual Memorial Day Game Weekend and Paratrooper Toss is going to be at my place, starting on Saturday and lasting until Monday-ish. I don't have class that weekend, so we can get started whenever on Saturday-although Rockville is having a library sale on Saturday morning, so I'd like to go to that first. That lasts until three,

In an act of unnaturality, I saw this on FB first. What even?

Anyway, HI I WILL COME PLAY OK

[omphale23]

Yeah, I posted it there first because that version was shorter, then added the specifics here.

[tricksterquinn]

It was just weird because I'm not usually on there much.

Obviously I'm in for BATTLESHIP.

[omphale23]

I'm not sure about the timing on it yet, but I'll let you know when we get specifics.

[sansets]

I own Captain America, so I will plan on bringing that and some booze, along with assorted other stuff. \0/ I'm thinking deviled (which, I'll have you know, autocorrect wanted as DEFILED) eggs, pasta salad and maybe some thing dessertesque if I get ambitious.

Also, do you know when you're thinking of going to the library sale? I'd be interested in going if I can drop my stuff off first, but presumably we can figure that detail out when it gets closer. (I am actually MUCH SADDER than I was expecting about Hatfields and McCoys not starting until Monday. I mean, I've been wanting to do a full Avengers thon for AGES, but H&C looked AWESOMELY bad. Also, Clay says that The Raven isn't worth seeing on the big screen, so I'm content to skip it. AND OMG YAY WE CAN FLAIL ABOUT NYC22 IN THE SAME ROOM, HOW AWESOME IS THAT?)

[omphale23]

Er. You don't need to bring Captain America, since...I typed out the list of movies we have, and that's one of them? (Also, this list is why geeks should not marry geeks. EXACTLY THIS.)

I don't know when I'm going to the sale exactly--I was thinking 10:30 or so, and planning to grab coffee and maybe lunch/ingredients at the farmers' market while I'm there. You're welcome to drop stuff at mine and then head up that morning, if you don't mind walking to the 47 with me? Or, since I don't have class, you could crash at ours Friday night, depending on how much actual free time you have over the weekend. Up to you.

(No Hatfields and McCoys LEGIT MAKES ME SAD. I was planning appropriately trailer trash side dishes! I mean, how am I supposed to represent the sadness of Kenny McLaren's soul via food? NO WAIT. Clearly we must have PAINCAKES and possibly also Luftwaffles, IDEK.)

[sansets]

SHUT YOUR FACE. THAT IS A LIST FILLED WITH BEAUTY AND WONDER. *_______* (Well. I mean I'm possibly still not over my X Last Stand related bitterness, but as long as no one minds my Rogue related ranting, it is a list of things I love! Or. I think I'm ambivalent on Daredevil, because I distinctly remember making out with the guy I dated in hs instead of watching it. Jeff was ... Mildly more interesting? At any rate, I love alomost all the rest of the things on that list I've seen. And I would like to apologize in advance for my flailing if we watch any of the X-Men movies, because FEELINGS. But I want to watch EVERYTHING ON THAT LIST, but also see BATTLESHIP and do paratroopers, so I guess this means we have to prioritize. Curses! WHY ARE DAYS ONLY 24 HOURS LONG?)

I may take you up on the offer to crash at your on Friday, depending upon my work schedule that week - I'll let you know when it gets closer. <3

[omphale23]

*g* We also have Shaft, which I argue belongs in the list but S swears doesn't. Apparently Samuel L. Jackson being cool doesn't count as a superpower? WHATEVER, HE'S WRONG.

And (unrelated) now I deeply, deeply want the GIF where Fury says, "Enough is enough! I have had it with these motherfucking Avengers on this motherfucking Helicarrier!" INDULGE ME, UNIVERSE. GIVE ME THIS AS AN ICON BECAUSE IT REPRESENTS MY FEEEEEEEEELINGS.

Maybe we should just watch the BAD ones? IDEK, THIS IS WAY TOO MUCH PRESSURE. Also, there should be, like, sleep. At some point. Possibly. Or not, whatever. It's the weekend before Reading, so my work week after it is, like, two days long.

BATTLESHIP IS NON-NEGOTIABLE. SORRY, ANY ARGUMENTS AGAINST IT ARE INVALID. I need to know whether it's about aliens, warships, or beach makeouts. Surely it can't be all three, and the previews have been lying to us for six months.

BUT PANCAKES MAY BE A MUST. Possibly while watching NYC22.YOUR IDEAS ARE GOOD IDEAS. Also, how hard is it to make shawarma? I should look into

I'm out for Saturday, but I'm apparently only working 'til 4 on Sunday, so unless something happens and they need me to stay longer, I'll be there for late Sunday/Monday.

[omphale23]

Just let us know when to expect you, and we'll figure out where to meet, etc. Since I'm not sure what's up with going to movies and Rockville yet, I don't know much about scheduling.

[pocketmouse]

That's fine. Right now I'm scheduled 'til 4 in Bethesda. I doubt I'll have to stay later, but it's a very outside possibility.

Going to movies: I'd see the Avengers again, if pressed, but I'm not big on spending money. I have to go to the dentist next month, and that's going to cost me a fortune.

Watching movies: I'm game for any Spiderman movie, or Iron Man movie, the first X-Men movie, Fantastic Four, or Daredevil. Everything else varies between disdain and utter hatred. I also don't mind missing out on them entirely, if you guys end up watching them earlier in the weekend.

[omphale23]

We're doing movies by voting, not vetoes, because otherwise we're going to be left with very little to watch. So you're welcome to argue against stuff you don't like, but if I've got it it's fair game. Because obviously I liked it enough to buy it. *shrugs*

[coyotegestalt]

I will be there, at least for part of it! Not sure if I'll be able to stay all the way through Monday; we'll see what happens.

Should we at a pointer in the foragoodtime comm to direct people over to your post?

[omphale23]

Cool! We get a YOU!

Um, yeah, I'm fine with a pointer to the comm although I do need to know ahead of time whether people are coming and whether they need a place to sleep. Last time I saw planning on the comm it was sort of...not-planning? And then there was some sort of confusion about whether there was going to be a Game Night or not. I'm just more comfortable keeping the main post here where I can track what's going on, is all.

[coyotegestalt]

Do you know when Saturday afternoon will be good to show up? When you'll be back from Rockville, and be up for dealing with more people after the Rockville crowds? ;}

[coyotegestalt]

Going to try to bring zana along, too. (I think you met at Halloween?)
