TABmeet v.62[NR] When? The 2th of January, 1999 13h-23h, zzz available. Where? 7653 Kingsway, Burnaby, BC, Canada (directions: goto below) Why? I am going away for 8 months, and am having an open haus. I have a human need for grouping people together. Did you know that the blast radius of a bomb is close to directly proportional to its cost? Who? You, and anyone who you would want to accompany you. I see there being 60 people there over the course of the afternoovning. What? Open haus. No obligations. If you are coming late, and need to crash, that is okay. If you are nice, or have food or original poetry that you do not want, feel free to give it to me. How? Show up, come in, and snack some, and ask what is up, and talk to the people at my house, and talk to me, and be a little uncomfortable, because you don't know anyone beyond those within your own group, and you feel a bit of social obligation to include others, but don't really know where to start, and how the other person even came to here in the first place (makes for good conversation, that one), and look through my room, and ask me if I am going to be taking that with me to Katimavik, and if not, can I borrow it for 8 or so months, please?, and complain that the haus smells slightly of dogs, but that there are no dogs there, and hear me explain that I own a dog, and that 2-3 dogs are usually at my haus, but who wants dogs at an open haus?, and then get inspired to play games that make people unite, without the sacrifice of social ties, and ask if you can change the music, and get out your CD, or tape, or whatnot (woowoo!) and change the music, and feel free to kiss me!, and feel a bit odd for spending so much time in someone's haus, without going on to the next place, unless, of course, y'all want to go someplace before or after, which would make sense, but I cannot join you, sorry., and ask me what I will be doing while I am gone, and say how you will really miss me, if you will, or how, even though we haven't met yet or often, you are sure that if you knew me, you might miss me more, and if you are quite tall, you can hit your noggin on the entrance to my washroom, and say how clean the haus looks, and then you might leave, or you might stay a bit longer, and definately talk to people our age, and try to pick up the attractive ones, and tell me stories about how one of the crusty people-our-age-friend-of-yours tried to pick you up, and it really wasn't all that bad, and accidentaly spill something, a bit, and have me rush to get towels etc (this is not recommended, just common), and say that I must like fantasy books, and ask if I have any band-aids, of course I do, what haus doesn't, and it turns out that you actually _do_ Co know someone here, and touch somebody. %below From Edmonds station, take the 112_New_West (at bay 5) up to Kingsway. To ascertain where that is, hang out by the driver and ask at each stop, "Is this where I get out juuuust before Kingsway?" and if it answers in the affirmative, then get out there. From there, walk along the King's way down the slight hill, past the billborgs, and turn right on 13th Avenue. If you pass a place called "Edmonds Motors", do not. There will be a wide driveway, with a big off-white haus there. There will likely be a few autos, and there is a snow covered trailer. 7653, the haus is mine. From New Westminster station, goto Edmonds station. or From New Westminster station, take the 112_Edmonds_Stn (located at the bay farthest away from the quay) and get off across from a high school called St. Thomas More. Cross the street (to Jako market) and cross again, toward a tire store. Just cross; don't wait for the light. Walk until you reach Edmonds Motors, then a little bit more, until you are in 13th Avenue. Walk across the street, and into my haus. Automobiles: Drive to my haus. From Vancouver area: Kingsway to 13th, turn right on 13th, and From New West area: Up 12th (Kingsway immediately right, again. of New West) and turn left on 13th. From NOrTh Burnaby area: drive down 10th to K'way. From Red Deer: Drive to my haus. Turn right onto K'way. ...

Open. It may be a Nouvelle An sort of celebration. It might be because it will be snowy by then. It is possible that it's because we like to keep our doors open, and have lots of boots cluttering the front entranceway, and have to make lots of food, and to clean the haus for the couple days before, and bother dealing with people who only want to "pop in", and to keep my brother all excited and anxious about who the strangers are. It is not. It is to rejoice in that, at last, Shawn will be leaving us. By Saturday, January 6th, 1999, I will be gone for monthsmonths on the same sorte d'aventure that Brooke has undertaken. I want whomever would like to, to come over, see my haus, meet my family/friends/brother/(me), give me a small drawing or piece of writing, or somesuch, or not. Also, I live near Hax0r Guiseppe, and Etana, and so if you live at either of their houses, or at my own, then it's super-duper easy to get here.
