Well, the meeting part lasted all of about 15 minutes. That was as long as I could get people to sit in one place. And, unfortunately, no one took notes, and I couldn't get anyone to offer up input...these were mostly fools after all, and most just wanted to know where the alcohol was. :p But we did have a good turnout, and House of Fools has a new house drink. My whole family was there except for my mom! :) Both of my brothers, my sister, and my brother in law, and his nephew. Woah. And me and Annie didn't fight at all!! Actually we haven't in a while, which I am very happy about. Anyway..I taught Shelly how to play Tablero, and then Thorn and I played a round. I got my butt kicked of course, but it was fun. Let's see, present at the Gathering were (by house): House of Fools: Kate, Annie, Neil, Noah, Tony, Stephanie, Tabbie, Nathan A., Brother Sam, Thorn, Reyanne, Shelly, Ty. House of Alchemy: Quentin (briefly), Will, Sean, Casey. House of Cards: Colen, Josh, Robert. House of Heresy: Alder, Zane. Spartikus: Jeff. What was talked about: the site, the underage drinking issue, who's riding with who, meal plan sign up, talent show sign up, chore list and sign up, service sign up, the yahoo clubs, the website, the mailing list, and by that time most of the group had wandered off. Ah well, at least I got some of the important stuff covered. The remainder of communication between now and Egil's will be over the phone, and, even more than that, online. Geez, my phone bill is already getting outrageous. Hey, you Eugene people, move to Portland, dammit!  ;) Ok, that's it. Woo hoo! Yay Egil's!
