Before I forget, let's start thinking about Canamerica Day! (i.e. a combination of Canada Day and Independance Day festivities, to be held on the weekend of the 3rd and 4th of July) A repeat of last year's Costco picnic has been suggested, but I was thinking that maybe we could go have a picnic somewhere outside the city -- or, at least, somewhere that looks like it's outside the city, such as a large enough park that we're not surrounded by buildings. Or even the beach! What do you think? Do you know of any good places?

(I'd offer up my place, but I have no A/C, so I think a large gathering here in the summer is out.)

Either way, I will provide an encore (pronounced エンコレ, of course) of my butter tarts, which everyone seemed to like. ^.^

ETA: And either way, I have a frisbee and it will be coming along with us! :D

It's always interesting to see how a day's conversations, thoughts and events get recycled into dream material. Eda, I'm sure, can figure out why I dreamt about having a collection of BL movies -- starring Korean boy band members, no less -- on VHS tapes. The only problem was, I couldn't find anybody who had a VCR so we could watch them! XD

I am in the middle of a large scale cleaning of my apartment. So far, my attempts have been frustrated by my vacuum cleaner repeatedly overheating and shutting off, but I will persevere! Despite the depressing(ly huge) amount of clothes I own. Why is there no St-Vincent-de-Paul here? I don't want to throw away the clothes I don't wear anymore, but apart from the Engrish t-shirts which I'm saving for a theoretically-it-may-see-the-day quilt, I don't know what to do with them all. *sigh* It's at the point where I have no more room in my closet for the clothes I want to make, and I feel bad getting rid of stuff I haven't worn that much, since it seems like a waste. And that's slowing me down, and preventing further progress on all fronts. (Though there has been progress, it's overshadowed by the fact that my floor is strewn with odds and ends of all descriptions.)

But I will not be discouraged! Let's see... I'll clean until 5, then do some sewing, then write (for Travelpod, and for my post on creativity that is still creatively stewing in my mind), then maybe pop in the cracky Masa dance DVD while I get some stuff ready to mail.

All right, enough stalling, back to work!

I'm possibly interested. :DD But I don't really know any place up there... You could all come down here. XXDDD

Oooooh, let's party!! =D =D =D

I really love the idea of a beach!! There are also plenty of parks, as you said.. but the beach sounds so perfect~<3<3<3 I would offer up my place as well, but I have the same issue that you do ^^;

The only problem with places like beaches is lugging foods there sometimes hurts. (my bday party always leaves me exhausted ^^;) But I suppose if everyone just brings a little bit, it would be alright!

I know of a GREAT park in Chiba out by Sensei's house. It's got a beach, park, and even a flower house and water park! (though both of those cost) It's a little bit far (a little bit past Makuhari), but not so bad, and good for those out in Chibaland. There's also plenty of great park/water along the Tama river (I love to take the Odakyuu or Hanzomon lines out to the river and chill there). There's also amazing views and beach in Enoshima, Kamakura, and if you're willing-- some drop dead gorgeous beaches out in bfe in Chiba. I mean 4000yen one way bfe. But so far, my favorite beach in Japan (and maybe cheaper if we all went in a big van or bus lol)

Just throwing every idea in the book out there. It would be a blast to go out and spend a night at the beach with huge bonfires, though, now that I think of it.. I wonder if that's allowed.

Hmm, my vote would still be for Costco, because I don't really like the beach, and I was kind of stupidly excited about going to Costco again, anyway...but it depends on what other people feel like, I guess. ^_~

NO VCR TO WATCH IT ON D:::::::::::: *potentially rude gif goes here*

I can't see why going to Costco would be fun in any way, that sounds exactly as much fun as sitting in the parking lot of a Wal-mart to me, and Costco is sort of just as far as a beach, but basically I am up for hanging out with people, wherever. :) in fact I am ready to party hard that weekend because I'll be 90% done with work for the summer!

We could make it a Kancanamerica and bring in Japan too *is shot*

Problems with beaches would be
* seagulls like food, too
* closer beaches are not particularly nice

I would vote for a park before a beach because it's more convenient to get to. Shouwa kinen kouen in Tachikawa is pretty nice, for instance. But as I said, whatever is good!
