#The problem as I see it is that there seems to be confusion
#about what we
#are talking about.
#
#We originally were talking about a party--you know, food, drinks,
#conversation, even possibly some computing, definitely social in
#nature--but now people seem to have run with the idea of an event.
#
#I'm certainly not criticizing either, as the two are not mutually
#exclusive, but with LAID happening in October, perhaps we could wait on
#event planning for a couple more months. Just from the experience of
#arranging a relatively small--around 200 people--(but public) social
#gathering of multiple groups (see
#http://www.main.org/cybercity for more
#info onthe current event, though the one i did was two years ago), this
#will probably be more of a frustrating planning project. That one took
#a month to six weeks to do , and sounds less complicacted than
#this would
#be.
#
#Let's just do somehting social at a couple of people's houses
#first, eh?
#Then we can plan something else, perhaps even at this party.
that itself sounds like a good plan, and makes much better sense than
'jumping into the deep end'.
I know I'm rushing things, but is there any idea of when it might be?
