*F* NDC??

Hi all,
I won’t be able to attend any SNDC events until mid-September, because of some rather extensive weekend camping plans over the next three weeks, followed by my mother-in-law’s 60th birthday party. I’ll be back in rotation on Sept. 20. But would folks be interested in having SNDC on a Friday next week — Aug. 28? Several Grinnell alumni will be in town that Friday but not that Sunday (Sarah Aswell, Jamal Rogers). I haven’t asked either of them yet, but I think it would be fun to invite them to join us.
In a more perfect world, I’d just make Friday, Aug. 28, into a party night and invite everyone to my house. But my house has become a staging area for four people who are attending Burning Man, and there are so many tents, sleeping bags, camp chairs and other supplies everywhere that it’s hard for just me and Ben to get around. So I can’t host.
But maybe we could all meet up at Laurelhurst Park or Mount Tabor at 6:30 p.m. that night fire up a portable grill and roast some veggies and Gardenburgers together. What do you think?
(In case I’m not explicit enough, I’m talking about NEXT Friday, not Friday of this week.)

I think this sounds like an excellent idea! Mount Tabor park could be a fun change of pace for this gathering. So let’s do that in lieu of SNDC the weekend after next.
Mike, at our last SNDC we volunteered you to host next weekend. That OK?
Also, my friend Vikram offered to host our group at his apartment some time if anyone’s interested.

Word up, yo! Totes.
…Er, that is to say– I like this plan, Courtney. Ay #3.

Cool! I’ll post another main entry to outline plans for a Friday Mount Tabor picnic party shortly (if not today, then by mid-week).
I’m inviting Sara (Jensen) O’Brien ‘00, who lives in West Linn and has a conflict with the regular Sunday meeting time, in addition to out-of-towners Sarah Aswell and Jamal Rogers. And my friend Susan from high school, who is staying with me.
