What: the completely unofficial 70K Forum (and Forum Fiends FB Group) meet'n'greet. A chance to put names to faces and smiles on faces. It's time to celebrate: After all, we'll know by then that we've successfully boarded the ship, didn't miss the boat and are about to become part of the best metal cruise in the world!
When: starting at around 3:30 pm after embarkation (Feb. 2nd) and lasting up to Muster Drill, then afterward for those who don't have to rush off to see their must-see bands playing during the first time-slot.
This is just about the only time we'd have a chance to gather, because once the stages start up their schedules, it gets....busy. This also allows time before 3:30 to get settled, explore the ship, start drinking, etc.
Where: Sports Deck near the basketball court (Deck 13 aft), same as last year for those who were there. Apropos of nothing....the Wipeout Bar is nearby.
If the weather is really rainy or stormy -- not likely, but it is possible -- we can move to an indoor bar, maybe the Schooner Bar, On-Air Club or Boleros.
Also: our own acidbasement may be able to print up some color meet'n'greet stickers for us again this year. I was stopped a couple of times later by people who wanted a photo of it. Here's the artwork....
If you've ever wanted to see a Statsman or a wookie in their natural habitats, this is your chance.
Let's do this!
