Howdy folks! A few words from your hosts at GrrAttitude about what to expect at our upcoming get together this Saturday.

- GrrAttitude is a shoes free house, so please plan to leave your shoes by the door. If we manage to get fire going in the backyard and you might want to put your shoes back on to go back there, then consider leaving your shoes on the back porch.

- Noise: Our next door neighbors have a 2 month old baby and are friends with our landlord. The landlord also owns the apartment building behind us. So, it's important to keep noise down outside after 11 so that we do not become a thorn in the side of his slumlord empire. Experience has shown that we can get pretty bumpin' inside if we plan a bit, but it does require a bit of planning. If we just want to plug in an iPod for some background tunes, that's no problem. But if Maxx or Michael or anyone else is interested in doing some livelier DJing, we'll need to know in advance and borrow some XLR cables and move the Mackies so they don't point toward the sleep deprived new parents.

- I share the house with Eva Luna, Stefan Schaefer, Adam Coath, William Enright, and Sage Enright. They look forward to seeing you all and hanging out with us. They do not look forward to cleaning up after us, so let's be sure to get things cleaned up at the end of the night. All housemates will be here, including William (age 15) and Sage (age 12) - they will likely spend most of the evening upstairs, but this is their home too, and they may well come down to grab food or whatnot. Please don't do anything you wouldn't do in front of a kid, because well, you just might be doing so.

- Licky the chihuahua and Malcolm the golden retriever live here as well. So take note if you are allergic to dogs. Please do not feed the dogs, it encourages begging that we work hard to train out of them. Also, although Licky is very small and cute, do not try to pick her up unless she knows you well - the higher registers of everyone's hearing thank you. Please let me know if you are thinking of bringing another animal, as this is one context where a monocultural ecology can be desirable.

- Since we're starting during prime dinner hours, let's encourage some hawt, hawt potluck action. We can fire up the barbecue if people bring grillables. Sign up here, if you want to make sure we don't all bring a bottle of Sparkle Donkey. Also feel free to list a cash donation and I will pick up a variety of food and drink. I will provide paper plates and plastic cups. As with so many Burner events, bringing your own cup is not a bad idea.

- Smoking: *All* smokers should indulge in their preferred vice on the back porch. We will set out a receptacle for ashes and butts. Ignore the outdated no smoking sign.

- Guests: This is intended as chance for us to get together with fellow SeaCore folks, not as a rager. Feel free to bring a friend or two, but not a whole gaggle.

- Sorry if this seems like a lot of rules. We're not uptight, just fans of clear communication leading a complicated existence in a beautiful home we love and want to continue to be able to share with others.
