It's the 4th of July, are you flying the flag?

Happy Fourth of July!

My wife picked up a free flag today and hung it out on the porch. Do you put out a U.S. flag each 4th of July?

Grylliade in Chicago: FINAL FUCKING POLL

2008, June 29 - 18:52 — Stevo Darkly

Please vote in the poll below if you are attending the Chicago Urko-Gryllicon the weekend of July 12-13. Rank your most preferred thing to do or see as "1st" and the rest in order after that.

Now that we have a semi-agenda semi-solidified, this will be most useful if we get to a point where a bunch of us are standing around saying, "What should we do now?" Then -- instead of a lot of indecisive hemming or hawing, or bickering -- I can pull out the poll results and say, "Well Activity X was the most popular according to your votes, followed by Activity Y, so let's do those."

Shedd Aquarium:

Architecture tour (if still time to arrange such; which, frankly, may be doubtful):

River taxi tour:

Field Museum:

Museum of Science and Industry:

Adler Planetarium:

Walk in Millennium Park:

Chicago Botanical Gardens:

Lincoln Park Zoo (free, may be combined with a walk along Lake Michigan Shore):

Brookfield Zoo (not free, and is out in the suburbs):

Art Institute:

Museum of Contemporary Art:

Little Fyodor and the Babushkas in concert (THURSDAY night, see planning thread):

Dengue Fever concert (FRIDAY night, see smacky for details):

Roleplaying/gaming session in someone's hotel room or maybe at linguist's if willing; this is to gauge interest, figure details later:

A Grylliade Members Blogroll: Yea or Nay?

2008, June 28 - 12:55 — D.A. Ridgely

Okay, so I asked this question on the Hey, Look at My Blog threads and, aside from David saying he didn't have a problem with doing it if folks wanted one and Jennifer agreeing it was a good idea, nobody spoke up. This is either because (1) nobody reads those threads (answering the age old philosophical question "If something is posted on the internet but nobody reads was it an even bigger waste of time?") (2) nobody cares, or (3) it was just too damned much trouble to answer the question.

Herewith, therefore, at least some sort of solution to Problem #3. What say ye?

Stevo Darkly Has Now Posted Six Separate Polls About a Chicago Grylliade Gathering. Do You Find This Oddly Disturbing?

2008, June 22 - 22:55 — D.A. Ridgely

Yes. Stevo may Win At The Internet, but he has no future at all as a professional pollster.

12% (2 votes)

Yes. But, well, you know ... it's Stevo.

24% (4 votes)

No. The poor guy's doing the best he can. (He was an English major, you know.)

29% (5 votes)

No. The polls were all necessary and you're just being a jerk, as usual, DAR!

FOR THOSE GOING TO CHI-GRYLLICON ca. 7-12: Rank proposed activities

2008, June 17 - 22:32 — Stevo Darkly

Please rank these activities in the order of their appeal to you, from 1st ("I really really really want to do this one") to 10th ("I don't want to do as much as any of the others.")

This will simply help us gauge the relatively popularity of the various proposed activities.

Note: I am going to take "Fri. night get-together at restaurant suggested by VM" and "Saturday evening barbecue at linguist's" as givens. See also here for more info and proposed schedule: http://www.grylliade.org/node/2376#comment-75379
