It's Wizard Rock meets Woodstock! (Now, add Slashers.)

[mijan]

This year, the weekend before Halloween, the Potter fans of the St. Louis, Missouri area have managed to pull together a Wizard Rock event the likes of which has probably never been attempted before.  It will be a Woodstock-style event.  A nice campgrounds with everything from bunks to full cabins are available, and it's not just the nightly concerts!  It's a full weekend of Potter mania, just before Halloween.  It'll be like a convention, except less tightly scheduled, and more fan-run.

Here's the website:  wrockstock2007

In the words of the organizers:

We're the St. Louis Area Wizards, and we are pleased to present Wrockstock Spooktacular 2007. The Wrockstock Spooktacular is a music festival, not unlike Woodstock, dedicated to the awesome Wizard Rock Bands out there. All procedes from the WrockStock will go to The Harry Potter Alliance (you can read more about this at the bottom of this page). Here's some general info (forgive us while the web wizards work their magic!):

Name: Wrockstock Spooktacular

Dates: October 26-28, 2007

Location: Trout Lodge, Potosi, MO

This will be a relaxed weekend full of HP fun, wizard rock and halloween-y goodness. Two nights of music, one electric, one acoustic...other activities will include a Triwizard Tournament, Nearly Headless Nick's Deathday party, HP crafts, plus it's a choose-your-own-adventure weekend, where you can create your own schedule of daytime activities based on what the Lodge offers.

Now, the big question:
WHO'S GOING, and if you're going and you're a SLASHER, would you like to join me and a few other people in reserving a "Family Cabin" to become the Slasher's Lodge?  If you can come, and you want to join in a Slashers' Lodge, please:
1. Be at LEAST 18 years old!  Non-negotiable, sorry.  We're slashers.  There will be PORN and ALCOHOL.  We thought about making it 21+, but decided that 18 is legal adulthood, and can be responsible for herself or himself.  However, we can't have underage people around if we're reading, writing, drawing, and discussing pornography.
2. Post a reply here.  I need a headcount first.
3. E-mail me at  faisons@gmail.com, with "Slashers' Lodge" as the subject line.
4. COMMIT to it.

If we fill a cabin, I'll try to get the extra people in contact with each other so that maybe we can have a second Slashers' Lodge nearby.  The cabin won't hold more than 15, but I think we're going to cap it at 12.  I'm NOT the only person looking for other roommates for this cabin, so it's NOT going to be just the first 10 people who reply specifically to me.  emmagrant01 and fiona_fawkes are also looking for people for this cabin, and we'll have to consolidate our lists.

This is going to be so much fun!!!

Well, I asked Fi to potentially count me and my sister in, but if you say no one under 18... how come? D:

[mijan.livejournal.com]

Well, we'd considered making it 21+ because there will be alcohol, but then we re-considered that because an 18+ legal adult can be responsible for herself/himself regarding alcohol consumption. However, this is a slashers' get-together. We plan to read and write pornography. We can get in MAJOR legal trouble if we have a child (no matter how mature she is) where we're reading, writing, drawing, and discussing pornography.

I'll put that in my main post to clarify why there's an age restriction.

If you and your sister want to come to Wrockstock and possibly carpool with us but stay in a different sleeping arrangement, that would be cool. You can still certainly hang out with us during the day around the campsite and visit the Lodge. If you want to come by yourself and stay in the Slashers' Lodge, that would also work. We just can't have a minor in a place where adult discussions will take place. I hope you understand. I'd still love it if you come with us.
*hugs*

....that... is two months before my eighteenth birthday. I am so dissapointed. T_T

[hymenchan.livejournal.com]

Oooh, yeah. I totally get it. Where are you staying at, though, so I can look into arrangements for the both of us perhaps? Because if that works out, then yeah, carpooling (and the still hanging out while we're there) would be awesome!

[mijan.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, hun, but the legal ramifications of having underage people in there... we can't make exceptions for anyone. I'm really sorry. Will you be at the event anyway? We should have a general slashers' meetup at some point.

[mijan.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure exactly where we're staying yet because we don't know how many people we'll get. We can't make the reservation until we get a headcount. I'll let you know as soon as I know.

Oh, and look at the person who posted underneath you here. She'll still be 17, but she's a slasher who might want roommates. Give it a try! And we'll DEFINITELY all hang out no matter what.

[hiza-chan.livejournal.com]

I know! I know! I wouldn't ask you or anyone to do that! I'd love to go to the event but I'm unsure if I'll be able to... Do you think they'll have another like this in the future?

[mijan.livejournal.com]

Not a clue. I just found out about this tonight. I'll have to look into it more when I'm less sleepy.

[hiza-chan.livejournal.com]

Heh, ya, that would be an eight hour drive from where I live... ok! Go to sleep and stuff.

[alaana-fair.livejournal.com]

Okay, just checked my schedule and there's nothing on Friday that will keep me here. Just have to make sure the kids can go with their dad that weekend. If so, I'm a definite yes. I have also spoken with melmoe1 who said she would love to go, but can't yet say for sure. She has a free plane ticket because she had to miss Prophecy. I'm not sure if sesheta_66 would be able to make it. I'm sure she would love too, but she's out of town for the weekend. (Away from her computer.)

Do you know how many cabins they have?

[fiona-fawkes.livejournal.com]

They appear to have several cabins available, but I'm trying to get one filled with about 12 of the more 'mature' slashers asap. I've emailed the organizers to see if I can go ahead and reserve a cabin without knowing the names of every single occupant, adding the remaining in as they confirm. Because I do NOT want to miss out on going to wait for every last person to confirm. Hopefully we can sort out arrangements this weekend. But even if people don't get in on our cabin, there are lots of other rooms and lofts at the lodge that late comers could still stay in and just come hang at our place.

[hymenchan.livejournal.com]

I tried to get a price estimate, but the lodge is already saying that those dates - 26th-28th - are all booked up, for all rooms. o_o

[scarlet-malfoy.livejournal.com]

Meee meeee!!! Count me :) Yay! I can't even wait

[mijan.livejournal.com]

E-mail me, dear! :D
Fi says you're in.

[fiona-fawkes.livejournal.com]

http://www.stlouisareawizards.com/wrock/reservations.php

Maybe that'll help.

[hymenchan.livejournal.com]

It most certainly does! However, the contact link at the bottom of the page doesn't work. Nnnrgl.

[scarlet-malfoy.livejournal.com]

*emails* ♥

[fiona-fawkes.livejournal.com]

Are you asking questions or making reservations? It's kinda confusing with the whole kinda registering, them making sure they have room for you, then you pay for your registration, then they give you a secret password, then you call the lodge to reserve and pay for your room.

Oye ve!

[pinkelephant42.livejournal.com]

How much does it cost?
Clearly, money is driving me nuts atm. Otherwise, it sounds brilliant.

[hymenchan.livejournal.com]

Eesh, yeah, no kidding. Well, first the contact page that they linked to at the bottom of the page here (http://www.stlouisareawizards.com/wrock/reservations.php) didn't work and gae me an error message, and then I found this (http://www.stlouisareawizards.com/wrock/contact.php) page and it won't let me 'wrock on' my information. Still gives me that error message. fjdklafjdsf

This is more difficult than it should be!!

[fiona-fawkes.livejournal.com]

$75 to register for the event, but you HAVE to stay on site, and that's separate. I'm putting together people to reserve a cabin of older slashers and, with as many people as we're getting, we're looking at getting the price down to another $75/night which includes room and meals, plus access to all other lodge activities.

[fiona-fawkes.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I'm running in circles as well.

[pinkelephant42.livejournal.com]

T.T Not happening.
Which is not cool as I'm just over an hour north of that.

[fiona-fawkes.livejournal.com]

Total bummer. :(

[fleurdeliser.livejournal.com]

OMG THAT WOULD BE SO FUN.

Why did I have to get a job, why? *wails*

Oh, yeah. Because I have no money and must pay rent and eat and stuff...

I expect a full report. And pictures. And, and... PORN! Drawings! Ficcage!

*coughs*
