For all of the newcomers to the Archive, MoM stands for Meeting of Members, and it is a social gathering of any and all registered members of the Eunuch Archive community who care to attend. Bobbie has been the Social Director for most of the MoMs, including those in the Minneapolis area (as the August one will be) and a couple in Wisconsin and one in Washington DC. KenSD organized one in San Diego last year. I organized one in Portland, Oregon a few years ago. A couple of semi-spontaneous MoMs have popped up at the house of Mac-the-Wolf near Los Angeles.
Central features of the Minneapolis MoM will include a BBQ at the convent, hosted by the good sister, a BBQ at Talula's place, a breakfast of Riverwind's world-famous pancakes (two doors down the street from Talula's), a night out at the "Hog Trough," an all-you-can eat (and inexpensive) place where they give us a room in back and all of the kids keep peeking through the open door to see who's having so much raucous fun. (Paolo and the good sister usually square off with light saber and foam darts....)
The dates this year run from BBQ at the convent on the evening of Thursday, August 6 through the pancake breakfast on the morning of Sunday, August 9. If any of the members would like to join us for any or all of the festivities, drop a <Private Message> to Bobbie and he will let you know the exact time and place. Details are not otherwise posted publicly, though anyone who's a registered member here is invited.
For anyone worried about the strangeness of all of us, I can assure you that there's no "show and tell," and other than obviously enjoying each other's company, we all look like a group of people who are just having a good time in public.
there is a half of cord of wood.
yep it landed right on top of it. It may need a couple new legs.
