Hammock Hanging Party listed on Laughing Squid

 

 

Here is a list of what we already have waiting for us in the container (in the desert RIGHT NOW), a list of what we wished we had last year, who is coming, who we want to come, who needs a ride, etc. Please feel free to change & add whatever you want to this page, you have the power.

 

You are by no means obligated to do jack shit BUT are welcome to sign-up for tasks or add anything that comes to mind.  I, for one, like to organize kitchens and make lists. What we mostly need is HAMMOCKS,  booze (ideally 3 handles of liquor person, for the bar), and rides for O.T.P. and Paul De Jong out to the desert.

 

NEED (to get)

(-1 engine jack to hold up log while setting up and preparing it for storage.---I will rig something with the car, since I will only need this before everyone else arrives!--Paul)

(-1 hand truck to help move short logs---I have one, a second one would be great, but not crytical--Paul)

(-1 hammock per person: How to Make an Instant Hammock---I have a ton of fabric, still bring one if you have it, but not as important--Paul)

-3 handles of liquor per person, preferably top-shelf (for the bar)

-a few bottles mixers per person (for the bar)

-seedless watermellon
