    Final survey is up. Thanks for helping me plan.

    Again, feel free to not take the survey, but you'll be dragged along without a say... ;)

    Weather is looking HOT (95 degrees with 60% humidity)... so bring a good swimming suit. T_T, I still wouldn't bring that speedo. Could scare the kids.... and women. ;D

    I'll have gazebos to help shade the area outside along with fans to keep a nice breeze.

    So...
    • Pool for kids and adults.
    • Fire engine pool for toddlers.
    • 3 gazebos
    • Fans
    • 3 sets of bean bags games
    • Ladder Golf
    • 3 full sets of Trac Ball
    • Brats, burgers, hot dogs, pop, water, juice boxes.
    • Music

    development: I just received word that an apartment I had been working on just freed up for the weekend. It's downtown, which greatly reduces the amount of time spent on the train. (we'll pick up about 2 hours on Saturday)

    It's also Pimp with a capital P... as in, it's got a glass wall like the Rainman suite.

    1.) Is anyone afraid of heights?
    2.) Q, is a pickup at Aurora Metra at 11:46 possible? We'd need a dropoff at 2:20 or 4:20, depending on how much you want IC party folks merging with the kid party


    edit: or if there's a closer Metra station, that's fine too, they all leave from the same place so no prob

    Err, I mean, kinda. It's more a moderate fear of falling. Towers, planes, and bridges with adequate guard rails don't bother me at all - you can't fall. Stuff like cliffs, glass barriers and low handrails make me uncomfortable. If you're saying this glass wall is external, I wouldn't expect me to casually wander within five feet of it. ;) I can deal.

    It's not the heights one should be afraid of, those aren't the scary parts. It's the very distant grounds which are so terrifying, yes?

    That is the easiest metra location but I cannot get out there to pick folks up and same with dropping off since it's during the party. It's not a "kids party", it a party that kids can attend. It's a pool party and an excuse to have friends and family come to the house and hang out.

    Ah, nah, that isn't too bad. I was envisioning worse. :p Giant metal dividers between panes make a difference.

    ah, ok Q

    Keebs, good

    Oh, and the apt is about half as big as my house, but it's ok because it can just serve as a base of operations since we're downtown already
