JonathanDInHisName: honestly though, this weekend wouldn't work well. Too many people go to see family.13:46
JonathanDJune 9?13:47
InHisNameMaybe I can claim one sheltered picnic table in park near my home, will that be enough?13:47
JonathanDInHisName: yes.13:47

JonathanDmm13:48

InHisNameoh and 1 mile paved trail13:48
JonathanDwe'll be back from camping mid-afternoon.13:48
JonathanDif you do a late afternoon thing, I might be in for it.13:49
InHisNameProbably need to squat by 10 or so to hold table13:49
JonathanDnot sure I could make that.13:49
JonathanDI'll have to check our check out time.13:49
InHisNameThere are 3 tables and 3 shelters.  2 close to parking.   1 at other end of trail.13:49
JonathanDInHisName: if you really want to do this, write up something I can post to the geeknic site.13:50

InHisNameDo I scheme and drag out a lotta food or what ?13:53
JonathanDand of course on the ubuntu list13:53
JonathanDInHisName: you want people to bring food.13:53
JonathanDif I can make it I'll bring a box of hot dogs.13:54
InHisNameSo, I only need to bring a normal amount of food, hen?13:54
JonathanDInHisName: my rule of thumb is I bring enough for ourselves, plus extra, but not so much extra that I'll hate myself if we end having to eat it the rest of the week.13:54
InHisNameHow much time span ?  3 hours good enough or more ?    2pm - 5pm ?13:55
JonathanD3 hours is fine.13:55
JonathanDor you can do 2pm-?? :)13:55
InHisNameeither way fine for me.   Maybe say 2pm-??  allows others to stay longer if they want.13:56
JonathanDyeah.13:56
JonathanDno reason to set a hard stop.13:56
JonathanDit's not like it needs to be supervised, really.13:56
InHisNameNo camping though13:56

JonathanDInHisName: I can provide you the sum total of the geeknic wepay account, to help out with basic costs.14:21
InHisNameThere is a grill at eachone14:21
JonathanDIt has a whole $10 in it.14:21
JonathanDsorry, $2014:22
InHisNamewhat is a wepay account?   a card thingy?14:22
InHisName$20 is sorrier than $10?14:22
JonathanDI guess not :p14:22
JonathanDInHisName: it's how I take credit cards and stuff when people pay for camping that way.14:23
InHisNameI could get some charcoal14:23
JonathanDWe run a slight surplus, usually, and I use it to seed other geeknics.14:23
InHisNamefor the grill14:23
JonathanDand to buy spare tents.14:23
JonathanD:P14:23
InHisNamedo stores accept it ?14:24

JonathanDfosscon ticket sales are via wepay too14:24
JonathanDInHisName: do you want people to pre-reg or just show up?14:24
InHisNameAre we 'charging' for this one ?14:25
JonathanDProbably not. Not unless you're paying for the pavilion or something.14:25
InHisNameno charges as far as I know.14:25
JonathanDpicnics have always been free14:25
InHisNameno signs posted14:25
JonathanDcamping costs because we have to pay for the sites.14:25

JonathanDthe groups sites in NJ are laid out for groups, too. They have large fire pits, and multiple picnic tables.14:27
InHisNamemy have to check into county parks, a rare few do camping14:27
