Greetings Beautiful Babies!
I want to first and foremost thank everyone for making it out. I also would like to give a BIG warm thank you to Brigid for being the "whip cracker".
It's NOT easy being the whip cracker; it's no fun being the whip cracker and you don't always make friends being the whip cracker. Nonetheless, someone has to do it and I want to thank you Brigid for keeping us on track last night! You can spank me later for being such a Side Show Sally! =)
Now some words for the "New Radicals"
Yes, last night got a little intense. But heed my words, the Playa is REALLY intense! You are going to have an amazing time, make no mistake about it!
I know that these details can be...uh hmm...a bit overwhelming, but they are an extremely important factor in how your experience will manifest itself on the Playa.
There's no way of truly knowing what you're in for until you actually experience the event. When I look back at my first year on the Playa, I can honestly say I didn't contribute nearly as much as the Veterans did. They knew what the hell they were doing, I didn't. So I was more than happy to oblige myself to taking the things they said seriously and also leaving the important things up to them. Don't get me wrong , I contributed, but there was no way for me to know what I was doing without their guidance. As a result of their expertise and guidance, I had one the most amazing times of my life!
So with that being said, for us Veterans, we need to exercise patience and offer some latitude in our expectations of our Newbies. Like my predecessors, I don't mind doing the work to make their experience a fine experience. It's about what you give to the experience, not what is being given.
Now when we get out there, it's going to be work. It's going to be frustrating and taxing, but how well we work together, is going to determine how well we play together. Work hard and play hard. We have been brought together and given an amazing opportunity to enhance each other's lives and create some amazing memories together.
Let's take advantage of this oppotunity and be the best we can be for ourselves, our camp and the whole community.
Viva La Free Radicals!

... That's right, boys and girls, we are FOUR weeks away from departure, so without further ado, here's the round up from last night::
* CAMP NAME
Free Radicals (if a name ever did fit...)
* AUGUST 5th
Chill Space will be finalized! Thanks, crew.
* NEXT MEETING
August 9th, 2pm, @ GG Park - where 9th meets Lincoln (a sweet, grassy area, loved by all.)
* RAINMAKER DATES:
Friday, August 14th at 9pm - All receipts due to Raven
Saturday, August 15th - Raven will send out camp fees
Friday, August 21st at 9pm - All camp fees due to Raven
Before Raven leaves (around August 26th) - Everyone will be repaid!
* RIDE SCHEDULE
Updated, see: http://groups.google.com/group/ourcamp/web/ride-schedule
* INVENTORY LIST
Finally finished, see: http://groups.google.com/group/ourcamp/web/camp-inventory
IMPORTANT! For the few who wrote a list at the bottom of the page - please cut & paste into the excel sheet so we only have one list to
work on.. thanks.
* DISPOSAL
Compost - anyone have a mesh wire trash bin? Like: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/80153254 ? If not, I'll go out and buy.
Grey water - we'll need $50 cash on hand *in case* we have excess grey water, to pay for the dump trucks to suck it all up. (Raven: please
add this as a receipt - thanks!) Idea for next meeting: if by some act of God we have no excess grey water or need to pay less, it would be
great to donate the cash to some of our homeless SF neighbors.
Signing out you dirty, dirty dozen,

I'm living close to GG Park (2 blocks), and you know the weather... lately here is very very cold and foggy. Would be better other park in the other side of Twin peaks (Dolores Park for instance)?

Dolores is too crowded and there's not enough flat space. Let's stick to GG Park. Check out the attached image - "x" marks the spot ! Enter the park at Lincoln and 9th Ave - destination will be to your right across from the Arboretum. See you all there :)

NO to Dolores! Lets just stick to GG park, but if we must move we can try Franklin Park on 16th and Bryant in front of Safeway or Jackson Playground on 17th and Carolina in Portrero.

Hello, hello!
Brigid-- yes, thank you! I do not envy your position.
Raven-- thank you for the support, this newbie highly appreciates it!
About Sunday--
I'm fine with whichever location, I don't see an attached image on
Mike's post but I got it, 9th & Lincoln!
About the time, I had booked my calendar for 3pm-- sorry, I must have
missed when we changed it to 2pm. However, my 2pm "date" is to pick up
empanadas at the new location of Chile Lindo near me, on 22nd Street
between Bartlett & Valencia. That said, if you'd like a cheese or pino
(meat) Chilean empanada, I'll gladly pick some up for those who'd like
one (or some). They range within $4 - $5, obviously no vegan option
there. (check 'em out on yelp:
http://www.yelp.com/biz/chile-lindo-empanadas-and-esperpento-wine-bar-san-francisco)
As to the potluck picnic, I'd contribute with beverages since I have a
handy-dandy cooler. Have you guys ever tried "tinto de verano"? In
Chile, when it's ridiculously hot in the summer, they serve the cheap
wine they haven't drank all year on ice, add soda and lime and call it
a "summer's red". I bastardize it (ahem!), by using Sprite-- but trust
me, it's good. So good that it constitutes one of only two ways I
drink carbonated beverages, the other is in Cuba Libre.
As far as non-carbonated and/or non-alcoholic beverages, I'm up for
the challenge of making lemonade!
Let me know if you have suggestions regarding the beverages, and if
you'd like me to pick up an empanada for you. Unfortunately my
contribution cannot apply to both, so please pay me back for your
empanada when I arrive with its deliciousness! ;)
Toodooloo!

Breaking news: I cancelled my thingy, will be there at 2p. I will happily help with the tent + meeting, for me and on behalf of the whole Spanish subgroup.
Rayma, tinto de verano is delicious (we have it in Spain as a way to have cheap sangria), pick me two empanadas if you want (want to try them). I will bring some wine + drinks.
see ya in few hours.
