House filk announcement: November 23

Since there have been no further replies to my proposal I guess I should proceed.
I'd like to first thank everyone who responded to my message--especially the helpful and insightful advice of Douglas McCorison.

I am hereby announcing a house filk at my home in Mountlake Terrace, WA on November 23: PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD!

TIME: I suggest the circle start around 2 pm. You should arrive earlier to get settled in, especially if we need to figure out what we're doing with your food contribution (see below) .

FOOD: In spite of the advice against it, I'd still like to attempt a pot luck--as follows: We will break (yes break!) to eat dinner at 6:30 pm. Before that we will only put out snacks, finger foods, and drink. Anything you need a fork and plate for will be put out during the dinner break. Therefore I strongly suggest that hot-food type contributions be dishes that 1) take kindly to reheating or 2) We bake or cook on site during the first part of the filking. (Note: Anyone in the kitchen will be able to hear the proceedings, don't worry.) I will be happy to refrigerate, freeze, bake, or reheat anything you bring. I will prepare some sort of hot food myself.

CRASH SPACE: I have had one inquiry about crash space. Crash space will be available in the room where we filk (the only one with a carpet) There is a long padded bench that can sleep 2, and then there's always the floor. I also have an air mattress. Should the need arise, it will have to be coed.

DIRECTIONS : My address is 23105 67th Place West, Mountlake Terrace WA, 98043. (206) 775-3858.

COMING FROM THE SOUTH ON NORTHBOUND I-5: Take exit #178 (Mountlake Terrace 236th) Turn left and cross over the freeway on the 236 bridge. Get in the right lane. Bear right (to 66th) at the island where the road splits shortly after the end of the bridge. Take the second left onto 232nd, then the first right onto the cul-de-sac
(67th Place) My house is in the righthand corner. It is blue with
brick facades and a large concrete driveway.

FROM THE NORTH ON SOUTHBOUND I-5: Take the 220th S (Mountlake Terrace) exit, #179. Turn right onto 220th. Go to the second light
(66th) and turn left. Go about 1/2 mile and through the flashing red
light (stop first!). Take the first right after the church (232nd), then the first right onto the cul-de-sac (67th Place) My house is in the righthand corner. It is blue with brick facades and a large concrete driveway.
NOTE ABOUT PARKING: If you don't mind getting trapped, please park in my driveway. Its big and It can fit two cars across at the top as long as the person on the left is far enough over. Also, the cul-de-sac is small, please do not overcrowd it. If there seem to be a lot of cars, please park on 232nd or on 67th Avenue (road south from 232nd)

Hope to see you there! Received on 10/28/96
