So, what do you want to talk about?

[pensnest]

Good-oh. We seem to be making a reasonable job, between us, of making sure everyone will have a means of getting to the cottage. Also, it is now Paid For. And, there are seventeen people signed up, which is excellent. Can we make it to twenty?

So, what are we going to do when we get there?

Well, nopseud and I, with plenty of input from ephemera_pop and bun18 (who has Not Signed Up, *eyerolls*), have come up with a reasonable programme, subject to plenty of adjustment of course. Obviously there will be footage-watching, an activity enhanced to the nth degree by being done in the company of fellow sparkly fans. I am of the opinion that there should be a late-night Lava Lamp reading (and am prepared to sign up for at least a part of this torture experience) - perhaps some of you have further suggestions of this nature? The dread word karaoke has also been mentioned (more later). I think we should have a 'bring and buy' at some point, and will also go into that another day.

But, most of the fun will come from TALKING.

Now, with nearly twenty people in the house, we are going to have to find ways of directing the talking, for part of the time. No doubt there will be bizarre conversations over breakfast, lunch and dinner, in people's rooms, by the coffee machine, in the hot tub, at dead of night, etc, but we'd like to program some specific discussions and be focused at least for part of the time. So, are there any topics you think would make for fascinating discussion? What would you like to talk about?

Oooh, can we have presentations with the talking? :)

[nopseud]

We're planning to be able to hook laptops up to the TV, so people can bring anything up to and including powerpoint presentations if they want :-)

[stellamira]

Cool. :) Maybe I'm inspired to make one. With pictures. I'd be a lot more fun than making a presentation for school projects for sure.

I suddenly remembered something I wondered about: what about internet connection? Does the cottage have that? I couldn't find it mentioned anywhere when I looked for it, but I might have missed it.

I will try to find out. So far, am not getting much information out of Hoseasons, and none at all - barring an invitation to us to have a £25-per-head feast cooked for us in-house - from the cottage owners. I shall telephone them, which will scare us all.

I'll wait for more info with bated breath! It would be so nice to be able to taunt my flist with how much fun we're having :-)
