[ba-filk-announce] This Saturday (2/11): clubhouse filk in Mountain View

[Bob Kanefsky <kanef@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Reminder:  it's this Saturday.  Also two updates:  extended hours  
were approved, and I finally remembered that they invented cell  
phones since I started hosting these.

What:  Filk sing
Date: Saturday, February 11, 2006
TIme: 6pm - ??am -- arrive anytime before 10pm
Where: Willow Park Clubhouse
	Map: http://tinyurl.com/b4h6l
	Moffett Bldv. & W. Middlefield Road
	Mountain View, CA 94043
Host:  Bob Kanefsky (cell phone 650-814-0408)

Format:  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.

Beverages:  In memory of Cynthia McQuillin, bring something red to  
drink.  (Not necessarily ruby wine.)

Food:  Bring munchies if you want.  The clubhouse even has a kitchen  
nook.   If you'd like to solidify the McQuillin theme, some  
appropriate choices would be:  (1) Chocolates -- especially dark  
chocolates with fine liquor centers ("Sweet Obsessions"), but not  
M&M's or Brahmn's (what's the title of that one?).   (2) Any food  
containing the word "baby" ("One Size Fits All").  Or maybe we'll  
order pizza.

Attire:  Black lace optional.  (For ladies.  Purple satin optional  
for gentlemen.)           :-)

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, but the easiest one is the one on Moffett Blvd.

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.

Parking: You can park in any unnumbered space.  (The numbered spots  
are generally the covered ones.)  However, Willow Park has added a  
new rule.  Guests are asked "to distribute the parking of their  
vehicles to the areas between buildings 9 and 10, behind building 4,  
and in front of building 26 to alleviate parking congestion in the  
area between the clubhouse and building 1."  You can check the map  
outside the Clubhouse if you want to know which buildings it's  
talking about, but it boils down to not filling up all the parking in  
front of the Clubhouse.

Hope to see many of you there!
