Icrontic's 2nd Annual Oktoberfest

WHEN: 30th of October through the 2nd of November, 2008

WHERE: IcronticHQ (Warren MI.)

COST: [Drinking All-Hallow's Ale] $25 [BYOB] Free


wait.....wut

ITINERARY:

Thursday the 30th: Arrival, pick your spots (for the out-of-towners who are flying/driving in, stake your claims), setup, drinking, relaxing.

Friday the 31st: Costume party! There will be kids present earlier in the evening, for trick-or-treating, and then they will be leaving the premises for the evening grown up festivities. We'll have a prizes for best costume: 1 for guys and 1 for girls!!

Saturday, the 1st: Kuhnhenn's trip and then back to ICHQ for more rowdiness and bawdiness

Sunday, the 2nd: group breakfast at either Ron's Cafe or My Mother's Place, tear down, etc.

Ok, some things have change since last years Oktoberfest. The 2nd thing you probably noticed was that we are limiting this event to 20 people. That's a 20ish, as in we will take 21 maybe 22 but not 23 people unless you are female and from Sweden or some other European country ;) We had 12-14 people last year so, I don't see this being a problem

What's changed from last year

Now, the 1st thing I'm sure you noticed is a cost ($). We have reserved a half-barrel of Kuhnhenn's All-Hallows Ale (pumpkin beer) for Oktoberfest. A half-barrel of beer is 15.5 gallons, or as us beer connoisseurs prefer, 124 pints of beer!

So, if you want to enjoy this fine beer from the comfort of a Sumo @ ICHQ, you need to pay the $25. That is a hell of a bargain compared to the price you would pay @ Kuhnenn's for the same amount of beer. (Example: $25 at K-brew would get ya 5 pints; $25 at ICHQ will get ya between 6-10 pints depending on how many people pay. 10 people pay you get 10+ pints for yourself, 15 people pay you get 8 pints! ) If you hate pumpkins and prefer to drink your own, Oktoberfest is still free. EXCEPTION: All beer you bring that you or someone else didn't drink is left @ ICHQ as a courtesy to prime and keebler for provided electricity, internet, etc.

In other news...bring some sleeping gear. I have to remind people of this everytime. It is cold outside by then, and well unless you like snuffie slobber'd carpet...you get the point. Also TF2 will most likely be played, so bring a PC/Laptop if you wanna join the festivus.

As always, post here to let us know if you will attend.

    I'm in. I'll bring my sleeping gear, though I seem to have left my pillow behind at the Summer Shindig.

    Also count me in on the All Hallow's.

    I'm in the process of getting tickets for Prag and I. We're down. And in on the All Hallow's as well.

    Dibs on kids' room. Prag will likely crash elsewhere.

    Oh, also dibs on Keebs' extra rig.

    Well... I can't commit, but I want to go. See, there's two problems.

    1. Notre Dame Football. My station covers ND very heavily, we air a show called inside ND football which we shoot for, edit, and produce. Lots of work, and my weekends are typically tied up. So no word on if I can get the time off.

    2. The West Coast. If I get a job in the animation industry by then, well, obviously I can't make it. I don't know what's going to happen, but the gears are currently in motion. I have a phone interview with Disney Interactive today out of Glendale, CA. We'll see what happens. Lets just say SIGGRAPH was lucrative.

    So count me in tenatively. IF you reach the max amount, bump me out. It's OK. But if you don't reach the max, count me in unless I assure you otherwise.

    If you get this new snazzy job you just need to make them aware that you need to go to you "Family Reunion" from Oct. 30th - Nov. 2nd. They'll understand.

    I'm in a similar boat as Lynx. I find out mid-June if I make it into a nursing school. If I don't i can drink my sorrow away with great company. In the event that I won't make it I'll put up $50 to the AHA in my absence.

    Where are you looking to go to nursing school Eggroll? Sticking around the bay area? (I think you said bay area, right?)

    What does mid-June have to do with Oktoberfest at the end of October?
