h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Thought I'd stop by... Have a mufflewhump!

I could tell that I was about ready to take over that thread, on the Rolling Meetup page So I thought I'd move over here... If you've had a chance to look at the Garlic meet page, I got what could either be a brilliant idea, or else the result of preggie-brain-rot (that's my excuse if the idea sounds remarkably dumb) You've said many many times that you've quite a bit of property... Do you think that maybe, for accomadation, those that go to the meet could camp there? Be a lot cheaper than a hotel... And, unlike Pennsylvania (where I got to go for a meet last summer--I can get you the links to my accounts of it, if you like) it won't be so hot that camping is, in and of itself, a stupid idea... I'm just not sure if you want all of us at your place (or all of them if I can't go because that's when PaperBaby decides to make a grand entrance) If this sounds good, maybe you could start a thread on the Garilc meet page, offering? Or else I could start a thread and give you the link to it, and then you could offer (again, only if it sounds like a good idea to you)?

Why not? I`ve a family living in my house that i`d rather do w/out-so why not a few h2g2`s? It`d certainly make me happy!Sure- lets give it a try~ Neugen

Thanks!

*realizes that it looks like she's actually organizing things*

And Tom (hubbie) and I actually already have a tent, though I don't know how practical that would be with a newborn I'll add the info to the meet page!

*fixes misspelling of name*

Hi dear-I`m musing changing my nickname to Neugan because there`s another Neugen.Kea knew about it~ The house has 1,900sq.ft.-granted there`s a family of 5 in the other bedroom(must get rid of them!)but there`s a large living-room,covered w/kids toys-so maybe you could stay inside w/child.It actually is warmer outside all to often.Living in a redwood forest can be a bit chilly-but the view is fantastic! Neug-

Don't worry about there being another person with your name--there's 2 other Amys that are active, and I keep looking for more...

Inside the house probably would be better... Of course, if we can come, we can always let someone else use our tent And I know redwood weather--lived in Crescent City for 4 years, and Arcata for 2 1/2... Likely warmer down in Carmel...

It`s warmer in general- but this is a redwood forest-so summer`s the best time to visit.Gilroy will be HOT tho.Boy, just wrote a thesis in responce to a simple ? on the 'greetings neugen' site this shoulld be FUN Neug-

I'm *so* glad you're so enthused about this, and that I actually decided to bite the bullet, get up the guts, and ask... Free accomadation should make it easier for a lot of people to come (quite a few of the folks that I went around and fetched are college students, and we both know what *that's* like, money-wise!) Looks like, counting the definates and the firm maybes, that you could have at least a dozen people there And not everyone's responded to my question about if they're actually coming or not...

I say really,really I`m seriously about this .You`re the who started this!Neugen-

*is a bit mind-boggled at being called an , because her BA was in studio art *

Well, I'm certainly looking forward to it! Just hope I deliver on time, because I don't particularly want to risk going into labor 4 hours away from home...

Well,Monterey Community Hospital is a mere 25 min. from my lair-we`d get you there-of course Gilroy is ~an hour fr.here.But,no worries,there`re enough doctors living here that I could probably go newt door (he`s a psychiatrist)& have someone here w/in minutes! -child .Long live !! Neugan

True... But I'm with Kaiser, and paperwork sucks

Yes,it`s really sad that we must relay on 'health groups'to take care of a simple(or not) hospital visit! I wish I lived in Canada~ Neug-

Yeah... And before I got to hear stories about the NHS (National Health Service--in the UK) I would have thought the UK had a good system...

I can't wait to see the look on njan's face when he sees a redwood for the first time

If some kind soul would tell G how to transfer pictures from a floppy disc to this thingy-he`d have an idea that tall is an understatement-&,as I`ve said these trees are old growth-really oak trees are delightful to climb! Redwoods are delightfull to admire-ah,G points out that the bark shreads as you attempt to climb one.With harness & a wraparound thingy of some sort-it shouldn`t be impossible,but G scoffed at the idea of a mere 40 meter poplar. tree Neugan

What email program? I know how with yahoo...

Hi amy! Tried to send 1 picture to njan last nite(at his proper address) Gary,being male,said he could do it & then couldn`t figure it out.We`ve a roll of film which is now in the computer-but not in the hard-drive(this,according to G makes a difference).I`ve e-mailed njan & ?ed him to let me know if the 1 picture made it accross the Atlantic to him.If not-I`ll ? you & we`ll get it sorted out (being s Neugan

Success! Njan got the 1 picture we managed to send last nite-I asked him to send it round to anyone ? -I`ll probably ? you if G still'can`t remember how to send multiple pictures-Do ? njan to show you the picture-needs to be enlarged of course- to all tree s Neugan

Tell G to stick the pictures in an online album (yahoo and MSN both have free ones--may be others) and then you can just give people the address...

Sent njan another-do ask to see it.Excellant advice-I`ll get him to do it when he`s awake Neugan
