Austin ARRG- July 26th

[Queen Bonnie]

 Any that need directions- renn mail me. I can give you my address and phone number. Meow Manor is easy to find- in the historic district of Down town Elgin.

Been away from the list for a while.

What is needed (that a humble bachelor might be able to provide); what is not needed (ie, leave the camera at home)?

[Queen Bonnie]

 How about Cheese for burgers?  Pickles?   Cheese crackers and fruit is always good too. Just suggestions!
It is going to be here soon!

[Capt. Bacardi]

Everyone have fun this year. Sorry but I will not be making this year, the first one I have missed... 

[Queen Bonnie]

 Hugs Capt Bacardi! We will miss you too!
Lift a tankard to Lord A.
He loved parties so much!

ok, look, guys - have you ever tried to use the table utility on these forums? There is no way to add the gridlines via html, even though the table code itself is in html. I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, but I've tried every method of css and html to add flags to the table tags. Sorry if I'm off a bit here and there. It will be fixed. At least there is a list of who will be there and what will be brought. It's not the end of the world if one column is off, it's easily fixed. Editing now.

[edit:] Molden, you ARE bringing dragon eggs - it says so next to your name. Did you think I would get that wrong? mmm. dragon eggs. Burgers and rolls is next to Moon)Dawg's name. I fixed the other issue with the plasticware.

If it still looks wrong, please maximize your browser window. Putting table arrangements on forums is not an exact science, but I didn't have time to make an entire July AARG website of my own. It looks right to me in both Firefox and Internet Explorer with the window maximized. If not, just look at the lists separately. The trouble is basically that the forums are what they call "fluid" and tables are what they call "fixed" in case anyone wants to learn about web standards. Because the table is posted in a "fluid" frame (i.e. the forums) when you squish the browser window, it squishes the text inside the posts too. That's why when browser windows are not maxed, or *perhaps* if your monitor is set to a smaller resolution, the table won't line up in here. I just thought a table would work better for frequent editing - like when ppl decided what they were bringing, but apparently I was wrong. Next time I'll just do it line by line.

We still need volunteers for KP duty!

Bacardi! I will miss you SO much!

OK, I made this:

But I'll still update stuff here! And there! Yay!

The table is great, thanks so much for putting it up and keeping everything organized, midnight! I'm still not sure what to bring but it'll probably be last minute...

Can't believe tomorrow is Monday! AH! I leave on Wednesday for Austin, SO MUCH TO DO before then!

Can't wait to see everyone and meet several new Rennie friends before TRF!

[Queen Bonnie]

 Thanks Midnight! I was getting confused- but that is normal. You organization much appreciated!
  Hugs Eloquent! So happy you are coming!
I am excited to see all my ARRG friends soon!
Working on cool weather spells- but tricky- because I don't need rain!

[C Dragonworks]

Bonnie,
Being that we could use the rain work on cool weather for Austin area and rain for the Grimes/TRF area! WE NEEEEEDDDDD it bad! Wish I could make it...but racing calls and gas is killer! Looking forward to TRF this year...get to see all my friends! Cat

[Queen Bonnie]

 I know we need rain- but it would not be good here on Sat for the ARRG.  See you at TRF! I hope your race goes well!

[Zaubon]

I think you might have overdone the weather spell this time. Now they're talking about a hurricane at the end of the week....

[Queen Bonnie]

 That was not of my doing!  I try not to bother Mother Nature too much.  Now doing a" please no rain here on Saturday" spell! My home is Big- but not THAT big.

[Var Greyshadow]

No worries about the hurricane!  Watching them is one of my hobbies.  Dolly has a date with Brownsville, and I doubt will trouble us much at Meow Manor.

[Molden]

Thanks MidnightFerret - your efforts are gratefully appreciated. Count me among the dense who were not aware of the work to put something like that together on the forum. Der!  So - Mucho Appreciato!! 

Last I saw on the hurricane this morning, they were talking about rain in Austin around Weds/Thurs and then done. I'd love to see some rain...but not at the party!
