5/26/2008 - Monday
Erin: If anyone is interested, I'll most likely be at the Monday location. It appears to be near Walnut Grove, and it doesn't look too hard to get there. Hopefully I'll bring a small crowd with me, along with a picnic! I guess we'll stick to the XKCD Saturday meet time of around 4:00.
admalledd: I believe that me and a small group of people will also be going to Monday's location, we plan on biking, we might add to your picnic Erin by brining pringles!
Wil: I was there, as were eight others. There was a picnic and I got to play a game of chess.
Erin: Well, we almost got to the spot. Location was in a residential area. If only it hadn't been in someone's backyard. Pictures to come!
admalledd: Same as Erin, except she has all th pictures.
Erin: As soon as Kirsten sends me the pictures (I used her camara), I'll put them up.
TimmothyTee: Eric, if the hash on saturday is beyond an hour ride, then I probably won't go. Prom is saturday and I have a date starting around 6:30.
