facebook?  nah. 

forum is enough, if ya just wanna use the web. 

phone numbers is better.  if youre worried about a troll ending up with your number, dont give it to anybody who could be friendly to a troll. 

 

site me and brendan are schemin on is good, not amazing...  but it should achievable with a minor level of bullshit.  damn near a bird in hand. 

where i wanted to live last year, was an even better spot.  but when me and brendan got to it [about eighty seconds after gates], there was a large temporary fence sealin it off, for a certain bands little village.  which is lame enough by itself, but they also cut themselves off a front yard that you coulda landed a helicopter in.  dicks. 

 

three or more runners with strong backs, three or more drivers with cell phones.  all we really need to do this. 

 

once staked out, its mostly a matter of settin up so we aint all trippin over each other all day. 

and fun shit.  banners or flags would be cool, shit like that. 

This sums it up nicely.  We will set up space for anyone who makes contact with me or Scruff before hand if its humanly possible.  There might be something better then where we were last year and if there is ill snag that.  If not I know where something decent is that we can get space for about a dozen ninjas max.  Im not going to join any kind of group or app or whatever there is really no reason to over complicate it.  I understand the first timers stressing but anyone whose been before should really relax as its not that serious.

 Good idea but I just don't see it working out all the way. 

And last year the website crashed one day one or zero not sure....

just get some numbers y'all.

i need a new phone I haven't had one in MONTHS. 

I kinda hate having to use a phone. I stopped paying for it and just use the wifi on it for faygo and Instagram annnnnnnnnd porn

I'm up for that, I was just throwing out an idea. Like I said, I've never been to a gathering, nor have I used that app so whatever works best from experienced peeps is good by me. If texting works best and is easiest, fuck it I'm down. I don't care if somebody has my number, it's not like I'd be posting in the forums that'd be a pm.

if wont have phone, will have to rely on the senses to get shit done.  like your ancestors. 

 

simplest thing to do is show up before gates, and just kinda move around, lookin for people that might have sumn to do with the forum.  if youre sittin still, youre a lot less likely to see or be seen. 

if youre tryin to find people but dont know where to look, and dont feel like walkin too much, just mill around back n forth by the area around the ticket booth.  always bunches of people there. 

 

if you show up after gates, or never manage to connect to anybody from the forum...  youre pretty much on your own.  you can either wander the grounds lookin for the village [and/or flh people], or just set up wherever, and wander the grounds later [youll be wanderin the grounds all week, either way].

So like... cuz you lame-trons won't create a dummy account... we're back to where we were...? And the rest don't have phones... ugh.. we're stuck at step one. If we can't figure out Day 0 then it's all luck of the draw that we run into each other. And then there's the cars. We'd have to try to get our vehicles close enough to each other to cross around the same time which of course means we'll all have to had gotten our passes. Talk about trying to find Shangri-La! This whole PLAN is an ancient myth!

Argh! Well, it wouldn't be the "Ineffectual Planning Thread" then now would it?

The Kik idea would be feasible but once I get there I turn airplane mode on and check back on it from time to time rather than be possibly using up data and battery...

It's still a doable thing.

Still trying to get together a flag/banner thing. Just can't find a flagpole tall enough that isn't intended to be on the side of a house.

We just gotta take up space for them cars g. Like a tarp or something. I think that's what scruffy an ocj did for me.

The website was down for me also during most of the day 0. There seems to be a lot of ideas flowing here and its starting to get a little all over the place so lets see if we can just break it down as simple as possible. 

What is the main objective? To set up a FLH village with anyone from the forum who wants to camp together.

When will this village be assembled? As soon as the gates open. Its the only way to really guarantee we will have everyone who wants to be in the village there.

Who is going to be needed to get in and set up this village? According to you guys at least 3 or 4 people on foot to put the tents, tarps, canopies etc and claim the area and thwart off any potential random ninjas setting up while the rest of the group is getting their cars to the site.

How are we going to assemble this group prior to the gates opening? Thats where we are all over the place. It seems like calling or texting is the simplest, direct, and most effective way to get a hold of each other. There are other options also that have more anonymity too and that can be continued to be discussed if need be. I think @scruffy hit the nail on the head though. Once your there get to the gates or ticket booth. You could always put a sign up with "FLH" or "Faygoluvers" or write your username on a plate if you have to. The point is if you wanna be found you will be. We all have to get out wristbands. We all have to enter through the same gate. And we all have to wait in a line prior to doing that. If you see a line of people thats where you wanna start looking. Once the wristbands are on and the gates open is where the rubber meets the road and the plan gets put into an action. The sooner people can meet up the better. 

With saying that, we are still 2 months away from the gathering. The key players of all of his actually happening are going to be the ones who get there earlier on day 0 to at least establish the collective group/homebase. Who is that going to be? Who knows. I plan to be there Tuesday afternoon but a lot can change in 2 months. I think the few days leading up to it will be the best time to say confirm approximate arrival times. You can always post on here right before your about to leave and then take it from there.

A buncha stuff as usual.

You can still start your super special facebook group and app and set up streamers and spazz out all you want mang. No one is saying that you and whomever cant overstress all you want all the way to day one. That worked great for you last year right? .My plan is robust and requires no extra bells and whistles.  Thats the way to success at the gathering. Offline Offline Offline except for phones lol.

Argh! Well, it wouldn't be the "Ineffectual Planning Thread" then now would it?   

all you say is shit that will happen anyway.  its not like a facebook group will cut you to the front of any lines. 

in fact... 

The Kik idea would be feasible but once I get there I turn airplane mode on and check back on it from time to time rather than be possibly using up data and battery...    

so, you will be, in effect, without phone/internet.  and will have to move accordingly. 

It's still a doable thing.   

its done.  nuthin left but execution, really. 

plan is as solid as anything short of a bribe to psychopathic.  show up early as possible, crew up early as possible, runners claim the site, car passes handle the logistics.  just two ninjas with phones is enough to cover comms for that, in a pinch.

Im in the same situation wit phone. My girl said she can sign up 4 an obama phone, so it might be possible to have one when the gathering comes to town.

I guess I didn't realize that the nebulous ideas we were kicking around had congealed into a "plan". All that stuff you mention is the stuff I had already figured we had down anyway just based on personal experience... but it's everything that happens AFTER gates open! The "buncha stuf" OCJ is referring to that I wrote is to address the big gaping hole in the plot of HOW WE MEET UP AT THE LOT PARTY...
"Phase One: Collect Underpants! ... Phase Three: PROFIT!"

I could give two shits if FB gets used or not. I was just trying to think of an easily set up, relatively private room for us to leave our numbers with the ability for us to leave a couple comments ('er whatever) all at once, we grab 'em and then it disappears. I suppose we could all come up with a final tally here (when the time comes) and we can all individually PM each other with everyone else's name attached but I thought I'd save us from getting 6 or 7 of the same emails sent to each other. I'm also not overly paranoid about giving out numbers to "The Group" because if later on some shit comes out, I guess we'd a have a fuckin' LIST from which to start from, huh?

@ocj_brendan My "overstressing" last year revolved around the idea of getting US together for an FLH Family Feud team not the completely different task of getting us together a camping situation. For which, I may add, fell completely apart when the FL site was down and was never able to find anyone until it came back up long after it was needed.. Which is why NOW I'm a bit more concerned with making sure that in THIS course of planning, that doesn't happen again.

 

And just for the record... I'd like to send out a big fuck you to all'a ya. I don't know why I'm feeling like I'm being put into a position to have to DEFEND myself at ANY point here. I'm excited! I want this to happen! If you don't like my exuberance or how I choose to spend my time sharing that excitement... then fuck the fuck off! I mean, gettin' pissy with me on something that is so ... like... FRIENDLY... I just think yer trying to burst my bubble and when it comes to my Gathering bubble... it's prick proof. GFY.

ill grant that brendos response was 15-20% nancy-ish...  but relax, dog.  we got this. 

what it is, is that he knows that a plan is just a list of things that dont happen.  but if you show, and can read the terrain at all, and be ready to adapt...  youll be straight. 

 

we probably dont meet up at 'the lot party'.  if youre partying in the lot, youre not out with the people.  you wont be found, and you wont find anybody.  maybe by accident, i spose. 

 

in all likelihood, ima get there early as fuck on day zero.  based on experience, im willin to bet i could/would/will find at least, say, three forum members, minimum, without even trying.  no phone or nuthin. 

if you want to be spotted, be visible.  an old massacre shirt, or any faygoluvers shirt; dead giveaways, if youre needin recognition.  flag, banner.  hell, just walkin around yellin shit like, 'ay, where faygoluvers?!' 

works for me, when im lookin for shit. 

 

and im easy as fuck to find.  ask anyone. 

 

[addendum] 

uh, yeah, though, to be fair...  cheshyrs just goin a lil too far, to bring freshness.  let us not castrate him for it, people.
