Dear all,
It is my pleassure to invite you to the farm on Southern Fyn Thursday 16th to Sunday 19th October.
First of all I just had my birthday, seccond I happen to miss y'all, and last I want to give a helping hand to our (rather ambicious) building-site at home.
The concept is that we hang out in a relaxed environment, and do exactly what we feel like. We help each-other make the days flow with the small practical tasks at hand. Think board-games, firestove and walks in the forest.
In the daytime we build on the house together, or do some other practical acitity, those of us who want.
Saturday we most probably party. Unless we just can't stop bulding.
Sunday we clean and say goodbye.
Read the rest of the page and reach out to me if you have any questions.
Use this sheet for any co-ordination with each other, and maybe remember to check it the days up to arrival.
Sign-up
Please let me know no later than Sunday the 5th of October, if you intend to join.
Physical space / The "New" Farm
I live with 13 other people. They feel in many different ways. To save them some of the trouble of hosting all of you, we will try to concentrate the event at the "new" (very old) farm in no. 10. (If we run out of sleeping-spaces, we can still make an extra dorm somewhere in the Collective in no. 9).
Depending on the weather, the main shared spaces (besides sleeping spaces) will be the combinded kitchen/living-room and a smaller lounge upstairs in no. 10.
Questions and Answers
What should I bring?
- sleep-stuff (sleepingbag, mattress, etc.)
- earplugs (most of you will share sleeping-spaces)
- work/warm/party clothes
- something you would like to share (an activity, a skill, something physical, whatever you feel like)
- something nice for the bar or for the kitchen
Where do we sleep?
We'll make a shared dorm, maybe two. The number of available single-rooms is limited (we are currently building them:)). If we get overrun by children, we might make a dedicated kid-space. If you have any special needs regarding sleep, let me know in advance and I'll try to find a solution.
Wil there be food?
Yes. We will cook something together. If you want to have a say, you can already now sign of for a cooking-task. I didn't prepare any 5-course meals. We will adjust the menu to the ambitions at hand.
Will it cost anything
No, not really. But if you dream about filling a bathtub with Champagne, maybe bring it yourself. We'll probably collect some small donations to share the food-costs, etc.
I'll be arriving by public transport, can you pick me up at the station?
Yes, that can most probably be arranged. Contact me in advance.
I would like to co-ordinate an activity or a rideshare for the event. How do I do that when there is no facebook-event? This is very new to me.
That's great! Use this pad, shared between all of us. Make sure to check it again the week before arrival. https://pad.riseup.net/p/oktoberfestpaafaarehavegaard
Can I bring my friends/lovers/kids?
Yes, please do.1
I cannot make it all the days. Should I still come?
Yes, absolutely.
I just wanne be there for the party on Saturday. Is that OK?
Yes, of cause.
I wanna come, but I am not sure I have the energy to build anything
No problem. You are very happily invited to watch the fireplace and drink hot chocolate for four days.
This sounds awesome! But I am still not completely sure how this will turn out?
Me neither(!). That's part of the point. We create this together, all of us. I know many very different kinda people. If you are 5 boardgame-geeks that decide to show up, it will be some very different days together than if we are 5 drunken sailors or 7 families with kids. We'll try to accomodate everyones needs and make a warm atmosphere.
If you have the need to know more precicely what the mood will be, reach out to me in the beginning of the week, when I have the final guestlist.
