Okay, we've thought about it and talked about it, and lots of people say
they would like to see it happen, so we're going to try to get the ball
rolling on this one. The first thing that needs to be decided is, where to
have it? That's where you people come in. We need to know how many people
would like to come, and where you all are. It will be held in the place
that is closest to the largest concentration of Shmeng people. So, if you
want to come, pleas respond here, telling where you are, or respond in
private message to either me or Callei. The party will be held about a year
from now, so everyone will have time to get ready, save for
transportation/hotel, etc... Thanks!

Won't work... with a poll, people can vote more than once, and it will skew
the results... This way, we really know where everyone's coming from...

I vote for New Orleans as a location, but I doubt it's close to very many.
I just think it would be the 'coolest' place to hold a gathering.
cool being a relative term depending on the time of year...

"Small world," my ass....
Anyway, I'm in Los Angeles, soon relocating to Oregon... I don't give a
darn where it is, since I probably will be too lazy to go. Unless its in my
backyard.
...
No, that is not a suggestion to use my backyard!

Sounds like a nice idea, but I'd not be able to attend. Not only that
things in the real world hit me, I don't know everyone here enough and I'm
not sure if anyone knows enough about me to consider me "Shmeng Party
Material"(I feel that people should get to know me a bit better than a few
forums and posts and vice versa). I live in KS though if you want to throw
that in the stirring pot.

Let's see, where do I live? Well in the past year I've spent at least a
month in each of the following places: Minnesota, San Francisco, Madison,
and Oslo. I think it's fairly obvious that I'm the kind of person who will
go no matter where it is. I was just assuming it would be in Seattle.
For mee, personally, this summer would be the best time for it because I
have the Rainbow Gathering around the 4th of July, Burning Man around Labor
Day, and since it's VERY unlikely that I'll get to go out to 80 Acres to
construct my BM project this year, nothing to do in between, unless I
end-up in Oregon with Kat, but even so, the end of July is WIDE open in
this case.
If yoo guys need ANY help with any of this, lemme know (my last project is
currently dormant so I need something to do in the mean-time).

Why don't go totally exotic & have it in Sweden next summer? We can
rent a bunch of cabins & go to The Arvika
Festival - this year Ministry, Björk, Front 242, DAF, Crüxshadows and
a bunch of other great bands are playing, last years have included The
Cure, Sisters of Mercy and Soft Cell, so I'm confident they'll have
exellent bands next year too.
Well, I don't really expect this suggestion to get many votes, but it was
worth a try!

I'm disappointed. I saw the title "Shmeng Party" and wanted to find out
what their stance on abortion was.

It's only ok if you eat it when the doctors are done.
You do have the option of stir fry or on a sandwhich though...

I live in Florida, and would save money enough to take a Greyhound to
wherever the party would be. I will be 18 then and will have graduated,
therefore I say next summer. I really would love to come greet you all.
What a way to spend the summer before college eh? Puh please next summer,
summer of 2004!

posts before jumping to that conclusion....
