Morrison-McCarthy Picnic Plans

According to the availability that everyone communicated, we will have our (first of others?) postsemester gathering this Tuesday, May 18.

When: 4.30-6 pm (with the possibility of extending to another location)
Where: Grant Park; we can meet in the parking lot on the Boulevard side of the park. Here's how you get there . . .
  • From school, get on Courtland Ave. heading south (toward Turner Field). It will turn into Washington Ave.
  • At Memorial Ave. (it's one block past the capital building and the last light before you feed onto the Interstate), take a left.
  • At Boulevard (it's about a mile, and you will know you've hit Boulevard when the brick wall of Oakland Cemetery ends on your left), take a right.
  • Follow over I-20, and the entry into the Grant Park parking lot should be your first or second light. Turn right into the parking lot. I will park as close to the bottom of the parking lot as I can, and post up in the grass to wait for whomever arrives.
  • Also, if you are coming from outside the city, get on I-20 where it hits 75/85 and take it one exit east. Your exit will be Boulevard. Take a right and follow the directions from the bullet point above.
We won't be able to coordinate food all that well, but I will bring chips, salsa, soda, water, cups, and ice for everyone. Bring a dish that's enough for you (and any guests you bring) with some to share. If there's enough time to work out details in the comment space, let's do it. It looks like some tasty dishes (or at least one) were already suggested.

If you get lost or need to ask a question, feel free to call me. My number is six-seven-eight,  953, two-seven-nine-four (how's that for super cyber encryption?). Feel free to leave your numbers in the comment space, in case you want me to be able to get a hold of you. We can all start exchanging numbers via email at/after the gathering.

Via con dios.

  1. I'll be bringing some baked goods that I bake on Tuesday! Anyone have a favorite? I'll try to bring something neutral but I want to know if anyone has any food allergies or soemthing they just absolutely despise (these will be from scratch so I can coordinate accordingly =])

    LOVE!

  3. I think I'm bringing quesadillas. Do we know what the person-count is yet? I'd like to know how much to make.

  4. If everyone comes who has expressed interest we are looking at you, me, Coni (my special person, who is using a cane this week from her bike accident; boo), Michael, Hillary, Tori, Tamara, and Pat (whose car was stolen). I might invite another friend or two. I think we are looking at roughly ten.

  5. I can't come, my boss fired too many people at work and is using me to make up for it.

  8. Hillary and I are still coming, and I'm still bringing my guitar. I just made a fresh batch of salsa as well. I'm also bringing some brooms and my case of magic quaffles and bludgers so we can play Quidditch.
