Rocky Horror 8/4

Saturday night, a bunch of older teens and young adults are going to Rocky Horror at the Admiral in West Seattle. The show starts at midnight, then they usually go out for breakfast afterward. If you're interested in joining the group, send us an e-mail.

This activity is rated PG-13 going on R.

Meeting notice: 8/1/07

The next meeting of STUN will take place:

• Wednesday, August 1st, 2007
• At Pilchuck Park in Snohomish
• From 2:00 p.m. to evening

Specific meeting place: We'll probably be in the river. There are evidently two river access points, both somewhat hidden, and we don't know yet which one we'll be using. The playground will be a good starting place; we'll send scouts there every so often to look for stragglers. If you will be late, you can send e-mail and we'll provide a cell phone number to call when you arrive at the park.

Important!
This is NOT the same park we went to before. It is on the same river, but it has better facilities (e.g., bathrooms).

It's supposed to be 80 on Wednesday, so wear your swimsuits and bring your water toys.

If anybody is unable to attend due to a lack of transportation, send e-mail to the secretary! We might be able to work something out!

Meeting notice: 7/27/07

When: Friday, July 27, 2007
What: Breakfast! (or brunch for you early birds)
Where: IHOP on Broadway in Everett
Time: 11:00 a.m.

The IHOP is in the new Gateway Center on the west side of Broadway.

A headcount would be helpful, so RSVP to the secretary if you plan to join us. (But if you don't RSVP and are able to come at the last minute, please do!)

Two notes about exiting I-5 if you're coming from the south
Exit 192 has two separate ramps. The first one is an exit-only lane that takes you onto Broadway. That *is* the exit you want; disregard the MapQuest instruction to take the exit "toward 41st."

Also, the driving directions you get from the IHOP site are out of date and refer to a left-side exit ramp that no longer exists. MapQuest is closer.

Yes, it's raining

But come on out anyway! We'll spend longer in the barn. We'll tromp the fields in the rain and feel very Irish. It will still be fun!

If you all can bring yourselves to leave the foals, we might set up a table and play games or something.

Updated meeting notice: 7/18/07

We are very excited to announce that Hope for Horses has agreed to host the STUN group at their facility in Maltby/Woodinville! We can meet some of the rescued horses, roam the fields, and picnic by the pond.

IMPORTANT! I told them our usual group size and that's what they're expecting. If you haven't joined us before and plan to attend tomorrow, please send an e-mail to the secretary.

When: Wednesday, July 18, from 4 to 7 p.m.

Directions:

• From Highway 522, take the Fales Rd./Echo Lake Road exit
• Head south on Echo Lake Road
• Just past the Williams Compressor plant, turn right onto 131st Ave. SE
• At the junction with S. Echo Lake Road, veer right to stay on 131st Ave. SE
• Take a right onto 238th St. SE
• HFH is at the end of the road on your left

Try not to block the turnaround. It's okay to park on the grass if your vehicle has the clearance to get over the lump. If you need assistance, holler!

If you arrive late and don't see us, we're probably over by the pond. Walk across the lawn to the left of the barn (around the corral) to the big pasture, and then you'll see us. Or at least hear us.

What to bring: snacks, carrots or apples for the horses (but ask before feeding any animal), a blanket to lounge on (but be aware that it will get dirty)

Note: Just so there's no confusion or disappointment, we will not be doing any riding. But you can certainly do some bonding!

STUN MySpace group

Here's another place for STUN members and their "drivers" to chat and network:

Meeting notice: 7/18/07

Due to circumstances beyond your faithful secretary's control, we have to postpone the Wild Waves idea. But we'll still have a get-together on Wednesday. Y'all come!

Date: Wednesday, July 18, 2007
Time: late afternoon into evening (exact time TBA)
Place: TBA

We're thinking about finding a place near Hwy. 522 (Maltby-ish?), hoping to coax a few of the Eastside Unschoolers to join us. Does anybody know a likely spot near there? We welcome your ideas!

We'll post the final details Monday, but please reserve Wednesday afternoon and evening!

Our meeting is still on!

The thunderstorms are passing, so we have high hopes for sunshine at the park this afternoon. Come on over!

Meeting notice: 7/13/07

Friday, July 13, 2007
Morgantown Park, Snohomish
1:00 p.m. to 5 p.m.

MapQuest map

Bring a picnic lunch (or breakfast, in Chloe's case)! There *might* be river access, so bring swimsuits and towels if you might be tempted to swim! Bring sports gear! Bring friends!

------------------------------
Heads-up for Harry Potter Tuesday: Yes, some of us are going to the midnight movie. Want to join us?

Heads-up for next week: We're talking about a possible excursion to Wild Waves on Wednesday the 18th. Let us know if you're interested!
