This gathering is officially CAPPED...
if you want to come please talk to me, but organizing for almost 80 people is rough, imposing a deadline is for my sanity!
April 25th, 26th, 27th, and 28th, 2002
See new agenda!
The BAP has traveled to your noder gatherings!
We have roadtripped, we have stayed at cheesy hotels of doom, we have mutilated our cars, sacrificed our jobs, our families and our friends...
We have seen almost every state east of the Mississippi!!!
Time to pay some homage to OUR damn city!
Yeah that means you suckah!
the final number:
70
noders
3 non noders
1 mystery guest
and
1 ms. ninja-bong
There is a usergroup for this event called nodahs if you are not on it, let me know now!
And if you have an april birthday, the list is getting too big...
But rest assured... there will be shots in your honor
DON'T FORGET YOUR ENTRANCE FEE!!!
Yes, you must bring us a shot glass if you want in.
No, you don't have to get drunk out of it, but...
Yes, you must leave it for team tequila upon departure!
INFORMATION FOR j00!!!
cahla's phone number:
--- (cell)
mail my phone at:
...
100 character limit!
also: ... is my home number...
my cell phone cuts out in my house occasionally...
but try the cell first anyway
cahla's address:
REDACTED
Medford, MA 02155
directions to cahla's:
- Remember: Boston is the home of the Big Dig. What that means is that traffic here SUCKS and the roads are a mess. SIGNS ARE YOUR FRIEND. If you don't follow them you can get screwed really easy. So pay attention. If you get lost, don't turn around! A lot of times you can not get off an exit in town and get back on in the opposite direction! If you screw up, call!
- I live off Rte. 93 north of Boston. You need to get to this road.
- If you are coming in from the south, you will probably be coming in from Rte 95. Take Rte. 95 North to Rte. 93 North. That simple.
- If you are coming in from the west, you will probably be coming in from the Massachusetts Turnpike, IE: The Pike, otherwise known as Rte. 90. Take Rte. 90 East to Rte. 93 North. That simple.
- Once you get to Rte. 93 North, you will drive through the city, it's a short but brutal ride if you don't pay attention. The exit number you want is Exit 32.
- If you are going somewhere else or coming in some random way, talk to me for directions!

EVERYTHING ELSE!!!
- Bring bedding/sleeping bag/etc... most space is floor space! air mattresses if you got em!
- Don't forget your shot glass for the host!
- People who are not on planes... bring BEER. For Friday and Sunday I will supply the hard liquor. Please be a nice person and bring something to share, if everyone brings a bit, life should be peachy. Local brews encouraged!
- Cash requirements are as follows:
- Your travel costs (arbitrary)
- Your cheesy souvenir costs (arbitrary)
- Friday night budget, this could be zero if we are able to stay contained at my house, or you could blow $50 on bowling and booze... I won't know til that night, so be prepared!
- Saturday Budget for Scavangah Hunt is $6 all day T Pass, $5 to contribute to your ride into the city's parking, $3 to get you to the top of the Pru, Approx $20 for dinner, give or take, and then whatever cash you want for drinking out.
- Sunday Budget for E2 Iron Chef Cook-Off: I am going to ask for a voluntary $20 donation from everyone to go buy the food. If you can't give in that is ok, if you want to give $10 that's fine... the point is that it is voluntary. Everybody will be eating what miller and chad will be gracious enough to cook for us. By being nice and asking for donations, you then help out some other noders who are probably dishing out some big cash just to get here. So please, remember to bring cash, as it will be divided up between the chefs on the spot.
- If you have special dietary restrictions, the cook off will have one dish from each chef be a mandatory vegetarian. If you need further considerations than that, please let me know!
- The Pub Crawl. If you aren't 21 we will provide alternative options, but bring your ID, fake or otherwise. All places card and most every bar is 21+.

Last updated Wednesday 1:31 AM Eastern Time, April 10th, 2002.
To the BAP: to keep the nodegel clean and spiffy, if you have any comments you wish to add, msg me and throw
the HTML on your scratchpad and I will add anything you have to say here!
For when the time comes, wharfinger has politely asked all aftermath nodes to find their homes right here under this
writeup if you feel you have had a profound BAP experience.
dem bones has also asked me to inform you all that aftermath nodes will be included in the gathering nodes from (last
week) now on.
jaybonci Good luck, BTW. You're totally on crack for hosting a gathering, but hey, that's cool.
jaybonci We love you to death for it.
jaybonci So how many people are interested in the orgy? I mean do I get the industrial shaving cream, or only the
"family fun pack"
