[ba-filk-announce] Tomorrow: April 30 house filk in Mountain View

[Bob Kanefsky <Kanef@xxxxxxxxx>]

Just a reminder; no new content.  Hope to see many of you there.

> Reminder:  There will be a filk sing this Saturday, April 30, in the 
> Willow Park clubhouse.
>
> Let's try starting this one at 4pm, and see what happens.  I know it's 
> the day before a Pagan holiday, and also the second-to-last day of a 
> Jewish holiday, but a week before would have been even worse for the 
> latter, and any earlier would have been too soon after Consonance.  
> "Everybody's got lots of conventions and holidays, and there's just so 
> many weekends in a year."  I've already concluded that the last six 
> weeks of every year are considered Christmas, and it's hard to avoid 
> the nimbus of every other holiday and event.
>
> 		Satuday April 30, 4pm - ??am  (arrive anytime before 10pm)
>
> Format:  Filk sing; probably chaos style, possibly some kind of 
> modified bardic circle, or one of these days we may try something 
> experimental, such as Index Card Preprogrammed Bardic.  Depends on how 
> things seem to be flowing.
>
> Food:  Bring munchies if you want.  The clubhouse even has a kitchen 
> nook.  But don't worry; usually people bring more than enough, and if 
> we need more we can always decide to order pizza.  Soda is 
> discouraged, especially 2-liter bottles; I usually have to dump 
> several of those.  And under no circumstances should anyone bring Diet 
> Coke; I have plenty of leftover cans from February.
>
> Location:  Mountain View, northwest of Hangar One.  Willow Park is 
> bounded by 85, Moffett Blvd., and West Middlefield Road.  The 
> Clubhouse is roughly in the middle, and all three entrances lead to 
> it, more or less.
>
> Directions:  By car, take either 101 or 85 and get off on Moffett 
> Blvd. heading southwest, toward downtown (i.e. away from Moffett 
> Field).  From Caltrain or LRT, get off at the Mountain View station 
> and walk 1.2km toward Moffett Field.  (Getting back late at night is 
> another story.)  In the unlikely event that anyone is planning to get 
> here under their own power (e.g., bike, foot, roller blade), Moffett 
> Blvd. is the one street that the Stevens Creek Trail crosses at grade 
> level; go south one block and turn left.  Despite the address (500 W. 
> Middlefield), the clubhouse is right off of Moffett Blvd.  (The 
> Middlefield entrance is more roundabout and involves a couple of left 
> turns.)  Enter on the first driveway on Moffett that is north of the 
> Middlefield cross-street (and south of where 85 passes over) and look 
> for a raised glass structure just ahead of you and on your left.  
> Guests may park in any unnumbered spot.
>
> Hope to see many of you there!
