Hey, Gang.

This is a question for those of you who attended the first Camp Sparkle, in Ludlow.

I'm still trying to recreate the look of the cottage for Sparkly CRACK's gameboard. Several generous people either sent or re-posted their pics for me, and I massively appreciate that, but unfortunately, there was only one picture of one bedroom in the entire lot!

So, I ask those of you who attended:

What did the walls & floor of the bedroom you stayed in look like (color, pattern, whatever)?

Which bedroom was it? (If you happen to remember the room #, that's awesome, but I can figure it out from "at the top of the stairs from the lounge" or whatever.)

And any other specific details you can remember would help too, like "had a fireplace between the two beds" or anything of the sort would also be greatly appreciated.


Thanks So Much for any help anyone can provide!

(And oh yeah, one other question: Where the HELL was that mini-foosball table? Near the laundry? I failed to put it on my map...)

See Y'all in a few weeks!!!

MY bedroom was the one over the lounge. Standing at the door looking in, there was one window on the left. I don't remember the wallpaper or anything (I think they were pale walls, though), but there was one double bed, and a couple of bedside tables. I *think* there was also a chest of drawers and wardrobe on either side of the door, but I'm not 100% sure. I do know it was the only place in the house you could get a wireless connection, which has to be good for some kind of card. :-)

HEEE! Yes, yes it does. *makes note to edit laptop card appropriately*

There IS a picture of that room, with the blue bedsheets, white walls, and strange pale-brown carpet, Huzzah!

That was the room at the top of the stairs, that had a second door leading into the tiny "bedroom" with the sofa-bed, right? Was that the room with the two little steps down into & back up out of it, with the "Mind Your Head" signs?

(Man, the architecture in that cottage was crazy. It was begging for a wacky game to be made from it, really.)

Not only was it the only room, but you pretty much had to sit on the bed, too :-)

I think so. I'm pretty sure I remember steps down into it.

Nice!

That was the room at the top of the stairs; it shall work into the New Board nicely.

Thanks!

Our bedroom was downstairs near the kictchen. Enjoy this probably extremely incorrect picture I just drew off the top of my head!

Looking at that picture, there was another bedroom to our left. I don't remember many details, but we did have a shower cubicle right in the middle of the room, and the glass walls weren't even frosted! The hell? But being Finns we weren't too traumatized. :D

I am now imagining the foosball table as some sort of perabulatory mystery that slunk around the house at night while no one was watching. JSYK.

[ninjetti75.livejournal.com]

Welllll, I think it was pretty rare that NO ONE was awake, actually. Between the crazies who stayed up til all hours (like me) and the early birds (like Anna), I don't think it had much chance to sneak about. OTOH, it seems to have been hiding on the last day when I was sketching a map of the cottage...

[turlough]

I and Pen shared the small bedroom behind the kitchen. I don't remember the wallpaper or anything but it was really tiny, just a big double bed and enough space on each side for a small table. The ceiling had open timbers I remember because I hung my clothes over one of them.

[ninjetti75.livejournal.com]

I remember that one; it was quite compact, wasn't it?

Was it carpeted or hardwood floored, do you recall?

Thanks!

(And looking forward to seeing you; you were missed last year!)

[turlough]

I wouldn't say it was compact so much as it was damned cramped ;-D

I'm afraid I don't remember what kind of floor it had at all.

(I'm really looking forward to seeing you all!)

[pensnest]

I see there is a Suspicious Comment from our own dear rikes. Dear me. What *are* you up to???

I don't remember any useful or interesting details about the room turlough and I shared, it was as she described. The other downstairs bedroom had a shower in one corner of the room, for some reason.

[ninjetti75.livejournal.com]

Hah, that's the Cry Me A River bedroom, with the shower! Heee.

And What I Am Up To is re-creating the Sparkly CRACK game, upgrading the cards and re-doing the board at a semi-professional level, so it can come live with you and the rest of the Camp Sparkle paraphenalia. You mentioned leaving it last year so it wouldn't occupy so much space in my luggage, but it wasn't really ready at that point. Now it shall be!

And I'll include Detailed Rules complete with examples, so it can be played at the smaller Sparkly Gatherings that occur, without my being present. (If anyone should be interested in such a thing. Perhaps a Lava Lamp reading is sufficient CRAAAACK for a lesser congregation than Camp, heh.)

[pensnest]

Psst - I am sure you communicated with me about transport a while back, but could you stick a reminder on the Transport post so I know if/when I'm collecting you from where? :-)

[ninjetti75.livejournal.com]

Done and done!

[rikes]

Oh so that's why it's screened? It's not telling me I'm being suspicious. :D So Tinypic is blacklisted by LJ? SIGH.

[pensnest]

At a guess, probably [Unknown site tag] would have to take, er, whatever action is appropriate to Un-Suspicious you. Very odd!

[rikes]

It's a new feature to fight spam. Rather hastily implemented though.

[pensnest]

Good Lord, a News post where most of the comments are about films. How irritating is that!

Anyway, I think I de-suspicioused your comment... Somehow I don't think this new anti-spam feature has been thought through.

[ninjetti75.livejournal.com]

It came through just fine in my email notification (I was wondering what the Suspicious was about, heh.) I believe I remember that room having white walls, but what was the floor like? Carpeted (lord knows what color, if it was)? Hardwood? I seem to be remembering the color blue, but that may have been the curtains, or a bedspread...who knows.

[rikes]

I think we had hardwood floors! White walls, and the bedspread was blue or lavender-y.

[ninjetti75.livejournal.com]

YAYE!

*does more frantic electronic scribbling, but with confidence in a higher degree of accuracy*

I think there was lots of hardwood floors, going with all the freestanding timbers, heh.
