Site</DIV>

<DIV>Greetings,</DIV>
<DIV>Well I decided to comment on this issue. First, I liked the
site in Coleman. There were some problems but most of them were things
that could not have been prevented. The electricity for instance was a
freak occurance and was handled quickly considering how big the problem
was. I would have liked to have a few more bathrooms available, but I
did not ever have to do the pee pee dance standing in a long line
waiting. For a shower though, yes. We do forget however that the
Sweetwater site has no shower. Being able to clean off everynight before
going to bed was appreciated. There was also the mundanes in
attendance. Mundanes are a double edge sword, on one hand that's how our
numbers grow, on the other, they do disttract from our playing.
Sweetwater also had the "Mundane Problem". Have we forgotten about the
drunk kids driving through the site late at night causing trouble last
year. At the Sweetw! ater site I have no knowledge of anyone telling
anyone that they had to "keep it down" because of a mundane camping spot close
to their camp, which did happen at Coleman this year. I personally
don't like change. I liked the Ampatheater and all that but I did also
LOVE being able to shower. No matter what is decided for next year there
will be those unhappy about the decision. If the site changes every year
there will be complainers but those who look foreward to this war every year
will still attend and bring along our newbies because they just have to go to
Gothic. We will still show up with all of our goodies for the war chest,
and next year we will probably be more likely to remember not only to
bring the Off but also to use it. I also got horribly eaten up by
chiggers and mosquitoes as did many others. Every event I've been to has
had a bug problem of one kind or another, fire ants, bees, wasps, mosqitoes,
chiggers, etc. W! e are outside camping, it's bound to happen. We
just have to be prepared for them as participants. Over all I enjoyed
the war. If all I can complain about is a few hours of no electricity,
bug bites, waiting in a line for the bathroom, and trying to make sure I make
it on site by 10pm: I had a great event. It didn't even rain, nor was it
110 degrees. Great job Ryah on the event and good luck on next year's
Rufus, you have mighty big shoes to fill. No matter where it is I will
be there, bringing way too much stuff, probably setting up in the dark,
complaining on the outside, reveling on the inside. I hopefully will
remember the bug spray and be as religious about it as I
am sunscrean.</DIV>
