This ain't no party...this ain't no disco...


Hello Flameheads,

This is an update to keep us all on the same figurative "page". We've got a few ideas that have been thrown out & this should bring (particularly those of you not on FaceBook) up to speed.

The new tentative date for FLAMESTOCK 2010 is the weekend of 7 Aug. Originally I (at least) had thought we could get maybe 40 people together. At the moment (unless some of you can think of that extra person to contact), it's seeming like we might be near 20. With this sort of number we aren't going to be able to work much magic in terms of a bargain hotel room or convincing a club to play 80s music for the night. Additionally, of those people who do plan to attend, quite a few are planning to stay with friends or relatives.

In this case, it might be a good idea to turn this into a picnic which could start in the early afternoon and run until we had to leave the park. Then, if some people wanted to continue to party, we could go to a nightclub.

So, what we need at this point is feedback on IF you will require accommodations (no response assumes you've got that figured out...in which case there's no reason to speak with a hotel). Additionally, we need to know if there are any other persons we could contact but you maybe just need assistance trying to reach them. If you respond to this post with a first & last name & last known city of residency, we can likely find them or somebody within the group will know something.

A few notes about the blog: orginally it defaulted to your having to have a Google mail acct. in order to respond. That should be cleared by now and ANYbody should be able to respond. Also, in case it wasn't mentioned elsewhere, this is not a "searchable" blog. You have to know the URL in order to find this. It will also not post your email along with your comment & there is no word verification. (Which means I might have to be more diligent about nuking ads posted by search spiders). Please feel free to pass the link on to others from the Flame Days to see if they have any interest in attending this year. If you have any other concerns, please hit this post back w/the question.

...This ain't no foolin' around,
