Whatever. :] BUT YES. There is a HUUUUGE park in my city (dear ol' Louisville, KY) named Seneca Park. It also happens to connect to Cherokee park (osio Samantha dawado) which is cool. It has tons of grass, playgrounds, things to climb, hills, and other assorted epic things. It would be perfect for another gathering. Big Rock would be something like that octahedron, except Big Rock is in the middle of the creek and you can jump off of it to go swimming in the creek. Just throwin' that out there, in case you're still looking for places :] And to the people too far away to go: It may not be much, but I'd be willing to help pay for a plane ticket or someone's gas. I'm sure if everyone sponsored someone else for like, ten or twenty bucks, more people would be happier. And more people could come! And it would be awesome. Okay, so I’m late. Whatever. :]

Hundreds of readers converged simultaneously on a school park, and unleashed in-joke havoc. Mock battles ensued between young men in cardboard jousting outfits. Red spiders made of pipe cleaners were suspended from lamp posts. At one point, dozens of dorks climbed a jungle gym, and for no particular reason passed a mattress, hand over hand, to the very top.
