Now, how many people can sit in via skype depends just a little on how many people bring laptops.

"I've got Elanhil in my laptop, who's in yours?"
"Oh, well I agreed to bring Jay along. He's all packed up in here."
"Bring Suiauthon over here, will you? We've got something to show him!"

There is no way I could walk/get a ride/hitch-hike to St. Louis, but I have a skype, and I would greatly love to join in on the skype-tivities! :D

Which St. Louis is it? My maps says several different ones... :roll:

We are running into a problem with outdoor picnic areas. Places like Forest park and such have a fee for using their pavilion parks...

I'll keep looking, but the outside aspect is difficult.

You could let someone with skype use your computer to log onto their account. Though that might be complicated if skype requires a download. I don't remember at the moment.

How much of a fee are they asking, Airianna?
If it's something nominal it shouldn't pose a problem.

_________________
♥Mama Raven

The books or the music in which we thought the beauty was located will betray us if we trust to them; it was not in them, it only came through them, and what came through them was longing. These things—the beauty, the memory of our own past—are good images of what we really desire; but if they are mistaken for the thing itself they turn into dumb idols, breaking the hearts of their worshippers. For they are not the thing itself; they are only the scent of a flower we have not found, the echo of a tune we have not heard, news from a country we have never yet visited.

All the things that have deeply possessed your soul have been but hints of it—tantalising glimpses, promises never quite fulfilled, echoes that died away just as they caught your ear... We cannot tell each other about it. It is the secret signature of each soul, the incommunicable and unappeasable want . . . which we shall still desire on our deathbeds . . . ~C.S. Lewis

Thanks,

Here is the link with pictures and prices on Forest Park. http://stlouis.missouri.org/citygov//pa ... cnics.html

I'm hoping when I head in to St. Louis the beginning of next week to do some on site scoping of some places. We shall see what I "cook up". ;)

Sorry for the delay, guys.

Just for everyone's info, Forest Park has zero places with electrical outlets available.

I know because I scouted it out for filming locations last year, and we had to use a generator for one scene we filmed there.

Not a problem if no one needs laptops to run longer than their battery will allow.

I am making a valiant attempt to come up with a laptop compatible place guys. We want you all there. :)

I’ve got some e-mails out to some friends. I’m hoping they will be able to direct me to some more places to scout out next week. I plan on taking pictures when I find a good site, so ya’ll can look it over.

I know everybody is itching to skype in to the convention,
but I will opine that it is most important to accommodate those who will be attending in person.
I don't really want to drive over so I can watch a bunch of people use their laptops LOL.

We can arrange a skype convention and use computers to connect with each other at any time.
This is an opportunity to meet with others in the group in person.
I'm thinking it might be a good idea to limit the skyping to an allotted time.

♥Mama Raven

The books or the music in which we thought the beauty was located will betray us if we trust to them; it was not in them, it only came through them, and what came through them was longing. These things—the beauty, the memory of our own past—are good images of what we really desire; but if they are mistaken for the thing itself they turn into dumb idols, breaking the hearts of their worshippers. For they are not the thing itself; they are only the scent of a flower we have not found, the echo of a tune we have not heard, news from a country we have never yet visited.

All the things that have deeply possessed your soul have been but hints of it—tantalising glimpses, promises never quite fulfilled, echoes that died away just as they caught your ear... We cannot tell each other about it. It is the secret signature of each soul, the incommunicable and unappeasable want . . . which we shall still desire on our deathbeds . . . ~C.S. Lewis

I assume we want to rule out public parks, correct? I mean, ones where just anybody and everybody could be milling around.

We could scare them all off. :rofl:

Although, my mom mentioned that it wouldn't be a very likely day for large groups of people to be gathering/milling. And since we don't have a very large group anyway...

Okay, well that would help my search. I can get ahold of some of those. I should have pictures soon.

Hey guys, I wanted to apologize. I am sorry, but I can no longer look for a place for us to attend. There were some unexpected things that occurred last week, to prevent me from going looking as I had hoped. And today I am traveling to NJ, and will be out of town until July 5th. So much as I am very sorry to let you guys down; I have to pass the baton. I will be there though.

I'll do it! But I warn you the location I pick would be 15 minutes from my house... :)

Have you all considered Babler state park? It's a lovely little place...

It is about a 50 minute drive from St. Louis. I thought we were wanting something in St Louis? Not that I wouldn't mind Babler. It is pretty.

Babler is about 25 miles west of the arch, in the city of Chesterfield. Technically it's not in St. Louis, but it is in the St. Louis area. It's a very nice park, although it's been quite a few years since I've been there. They even have horseback riding stables, if I remember. :cool:

You'll have a hard time finding something secluded and shady in the city... :P But if I remember Babler has power outlets...

:'( As much as I'd like to go.... *sniffles* there is no way I can :( I highly doubt I could get my family to drive me to St. Louis! Not even if I bribed them with walrus muffins! :pale:
I hope you have fun though! :(
