Bah. I've tried 3 times now to leave a comment on this. And had to rewrite it each time simply because I can't decide what I want to say.
I wish I could confirm my folks itinerary one way or the other more certainly. At the moment, according to everything I was told last night, it looks very likely that they will be out of town this weekend, leaving me with the dog. So, I suggest that we make plans to cart stuff to Scarborough.
That said, as I won't really know until sometime during the day on Friday whether or not they're leaving for sure, I suspect that it would be wiser to plan on no play Friday — unless you want to traipse machines around potentially needlessly.
On the other hand, another solution might be that in the event things need to be at my place and we decide we want to play on Friday night, we can always drag our sorry tails out of bed on Saturday and go over to your place for the afternoon Cluck-up's session, returning back to mine sometime later. As long as I'm home within a reasonable length of time to feed and otherwise care for the dog, it's not really a big deal. Sunday, I need to be out of the house by 3pm at the latest if I'm going to get to Hamilton for dinner.
Well, see, that's kind of my point - you have plans for sunday, so we shouldn't plan on doing much then. Frankly, we'll likely be too tired by sunday to do much anyway. Which leaves us Friday and Saturday. I would prefer to have Friday to ourselves, and to just head over to your place for 10am. I know I can manage that, and so too can Pam and Val, even if we bring the machines with us.
However, it is Alery I'm concerned about, since she's worried about lack of sleep ...

I second that. I can manage Saturday morning, no problem.
As for heading to damara's for cluck-ups, that works for me too. I'd suggest that we bring wolfcat's catbait dog along, but I guess damara's house is already full of pets to the brim.
I simply can't bring the dog. She'd never survive the other animals. It would be messy and I don't want to clean up the mess. Besides, she gets snappish and ill-tempered when she's frightened. (Which makes her name, Shalom, rather ironic, actually. She's anything but peaceful, really.) She rides the car, well. But, that's about it. She's a suck and she's proprietary. Taking care of her somewhere other than home would take all the fun out of my gaming on me, so I won't do it. I can leave her for a few hours, but that's it.
Though, frankly, if Aleriel brings her laptop and you bring the wireless router, I can set up my old computer that I brought to your place last weekend. It does still work, after all. And I have the laptop and Mom's machine. That gives us 4 already easily portable or available — which basically means just bringing one computer along instead of 3. As an option, at any rate.
Oh, and I'm perfectly willing to have Friday to myself, too. Actually, I think I'd prefer it.
If I have to dogsit, though I'm willing to leave for a few hours, I would want to be back home by dinner time to feed her and let her out. That will probably interrupt Cluck-ups or a resumed session of Circus. (Cluck-ups is at 1pm, yes? Or some other time? I can't remember.) So, that's somethig to consider — especially since we should be able to continue one or the other throughout the evening.
Thus, unless there are any strenuous objections or the whole computer thing becomes entirely too problematic, I really would prefer sticking closer to my own home if we can, in that event. I'll flex as well I can, of course, but that is my preference.
Uhm, I thought that's what I was implying, with the whole location depends on dogsitting thing? I was assuming that if you were dogsitting, we'd be at your place. If you're not dogsitting, then location becomes flexible.
Essentially, we've determined a date and time. The place determination will wait until Friday evening, when you find out if you are or are not dogsitting. That, you see, is the primary concern for location. It didn't matter particularly for date and time.

Date: 2003-07-16 09:00 am (UTC)If we're not at my place, we have routers to be set up, computers to be hauled and set up, and still that same session of circus.
Next weekend, we will not be able to play - Val will be out of town.

Re:
Date: 2003-07-16 11:35 am (UTC)Saturday 10am is the start time, since nobody seemed to object to that. It's just now a question of where, depending on dogsitting type things.

If I'm not dogsitting, then it's much easier to be at your place, I'm quite certain.
Saturday, 10am.
