Update on Aphelion's Summer Party
Our annual Summer party is less than six weeks away, now- Please plan to attend if you are able, because we'd love to see you all again.
We wanted to post an update on the Aphelion Webzine annual Summer party at our house. There is an updated page of directions & a map from Atlanta to our house for those folks who plan on attending Aphelion's 2009 party on August 22nd. The link is Directions from Atlanta We'll be posting maps and driving directions from other areas soon, so expect another update in about two weeks.
Aphelion readers and writers, Steampunk folks in the Southeastern US, UGA SF&F members, SCA folks, our neighbors, and our other friends are all invited. Usually, only a dozen or so people connected to Aphelion show up, but this year we're inviting everyone we know. A good time will be had by all- Food, drink, music on the stereo, perhaps even some Filk if Rob & Larissa Wynne feel like singing. If steampunk folks feel like holding a photoshoot, there are woods behind the house as well as plenty of space in the yard.
Because some folks who plan to attend suffer from allergies, smokers will be requested to go outdoors. This includes me, so don't feel slighted. I'll be headed outdoors, too.
So far, the menu is:
BBQ & hash from Bill's Bar-B-Que
Hamburgers & Hotdogs on the grill
Veggies, chips, and dips as munchies
Sodas, tea, coffee, booze, etc. as drinks
Anything you wish to bring to add to the menu will be welcomed, but not
required.
August 22nd, from 10 AM until you feel like leaving-
Casa Vila
751 Moons Grove Church Road
Colbert, GA 30628
We're located roughly halfway between Athens and Danielsville, GA just off of HWY 29, inside the Diamond Hill community- if you're looking up maps on Google or MapQuest. Anyone coming from further than a comfortable driving distance might want to look into booking a room at the new Comfort Inn on North Ave. in Athens. That's only a 20 minute drive from here and it's a wonderful hotel.
Please e-mail vila (at) america (dot) net to let me know that you plan to attend, so that I can stock up on enough food and drinks. Also, please let me know about any allergies or dietary restrictions you have so that I can plan accordingly. Bringing additional food & drinks will be welcome, but not required.
