Mercenary Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 I just wanted to once again thank everyone who helped Arcane and I with her move from Ottawa; it was a rushed, last-minute deal that wouldn’t have been possible without the fantastic assistance of the members of the board – and most notably, BradM for getting the team together in the final hours.Arcane was just ecstatic to hear how many people came to her rescue – and we both owe you all a great debt of gratitude.She’s feeling much better now – and I know she is planning on contacting all of you to personally thank you for her assistance.We would like to hold some kind of “thank-you” event, and we thought we’d present options here to see what everyone thought (or to solicit alternate suggestions); the current options are:(1) Montreal House Party: everyone come to Casa Arcane/Mercenary in Montreal for a house-party/chilli fest. As this place is a multi-level duplex, there’s a limit as to how much noise we can make… but we do have LOTS of space, 3 bathrooms, all the amenities and (most importantly) a well stocked bar. Arcane and I can probably arrange for transportation to Montreal as required by renting a min-van if necessary; certainly transportation within Montreal could be arranged for anyone who comes here by bus. We can probably do this anytime in the next couple of weeks. Big city... lots of fun.(2) Cottage-Party: Arcane’s grandparents have a cottage on a lake near Duhamel (approx 2-1/2 hours from Ottawa). Big place… noise would be less of an issue… but somewhat more limited in terms of bathroom and shower space. Mercenary could bring the boat (depending on the time of year) and we can see just how well hippies float… er… then again… perhaps not. Transportation could be a real problem… but we could take Lennie and Squiggy (the resident raccoons) out dancing. We’d probably want to wait a month or two to get warmer weather and ensure the cottage isn’t snow/ice-locked, however the cottage is winterized and comes with a wood-stove. As long as we leave the cottage as we found it, we can pretty much do anything we want (hmmm... human sacrifice followed by Aztec orgy).(3) Camp-Out: We’d need to find an appropriate place (but it would no doubt be closer to Ottawa)… and Mercenary can put his half-dozen or so tents to good use and show off his camp-engineer skills and build us a hippy-hotel out in the bush somewhere. Advantages: depending on the location, we can probably do pretty much anything we want (dancing naked around the fire-pit anyone?)… however, we have the classic problems of water, electricity, crappers, showers (if desired), police raids and the band warning everyone about the brown-acid (er… never mind). These are all fixable problems… and while this particular event may be the most complex in terms of logistics, it certainly has the most flexibility. It would, however, probably need to wait until late spring due to the weather (and the fact that Arcane is allergic to cold).So… thoughts? Preferences? Let us know. :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercenary Posted March 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 Mercenary is starting to wonder how often he's taken to referring to himself in the third person... and if this is indicative of a much bigger problem. Mercenary will ponder this further and get back to himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaggyBalls Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 well canned beats thinks that mercenary and arcane are the bomb. the bar can be moved...i vote for either cottage party, or camp somewhere in the mountains with a nice view. vermont/the laurentians are close to montreal and the gatineaus are close to ottawa... nudity/debauchery/sacrifices/acid is all good with me. i'm safe...the aztecs sacrificed virgins, right?

Mercenary Posted March 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 Hmmm... Vermont would be wonderful, but I'd be worried about problems brining some of the "refreshments" across the border. Laurentiens would be nice... there are some fantastic places North of the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercenary Posted March 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 I cant help but think that Arcane would be perterbed with me if I were to split a six-pack of virgins with someone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercenary Posted March 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 Heh... Arcane hasn't seen all the "notes" that were left on the boxes for her... I had fun unloading the trailer... I think she will enjoy the unpacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercenary Posted March 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 Well... Arcane has elected for the "cottage party" option. I'm sure she will be posting details, dates, etc shortly. I'll start getting nets for the racoons... no doubt they will be wanting to be my "friends" again. Uggh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
