King Kong was cool! I really didn't think I would like it, but it was pretty good! I really liked the giant slugs and giant grasshoppers.

Do you think it would be OK for my 8 year old? We're thinking on going tomorrow. (later today)

CM, Coco and I saw it on Saturday. Sexuality wise it's fine. As far as language, I don't think that it's that bad. I can't really remember any swearing, maybe one or two here ore there. I think what could affect Ali worst is the animal/creatures on the island. There's a bunch of dinosaurs, bats that are human sized, insects and slugs that are huge. I don't know if she is scared by bugs or bats, or if she can handle it. Oh yeah, the natives are creepy too. So I'm not sure, you know your daughter best.

I loved King Kong for its visuals - the animation is beyond anything else on the screen right now. But, the bug scenes did give me the heebie geebies.

Thanks for your input you two. After preping her about the bugs she decided she didn't want to go.

I think we'll go bowling instead.

I just got back from the Minnesota Zoo...

was fun...

How long will I continue to call it the NEW ZOO?

I asked my wife and she said it would be ok for her. She was freaked out by the bug scene, but said kids like giant bugs. Tough call. Sounds like she don't wanna see it now, so that makes it easy.

HA! My husband still calls it the New Zoo too.

In case nobody else got the word.

I just read on the PP board that the PDG is at McGoverns.

who set that up??

anybody call them yet??

but it is on OTiS's site...

That is weird. Usually Terry calls and verifies that we can get the basement and that there will be a bartender on duty.

Also, re: the discussion of having it at GW - It got very complicated because we couldn't individually order food in the party room.

Thanks. Now she wants to go to Chronicles of Narnia. Anybody see this?
Mon, 01/02/2006 - 2:47 PM Permalink
leelabell

Seen it. It has some mildly (in my mind) scary creatures but there are no oogly bugs. There is a battle scene with the devilish creatures against the kids and the forces of good.

yep, Chronicles of Narnia are based off a children's book, I've seen it and it's extremely kid friendly.

I thought Green did it last year.

Any hoot, anybody wanna call? Or did they?
Mon, 01/02/2006 - 3:05 PM Permalink
mrmnmikey

don't know who set it up.

I saw it was posted on cooler times.

Don't know if anybody called or not.

mrmnmikey

that is a problem for Greatwaters. I'm fine with either place. More people will probly find McGoverns easier because we've had it there in the past. JMO

One thing that was brought up is, there's a lot of coolerheads that never visit the forums, that would automatically visit McGoverns.....

Terry

It has to be McGovern's. People who don't ever get online find us there.

It was Green that called last year. But she's not around these parts yet so Mikey - would you like to take care of that, please? Thanks!

Exactly.

Who should I talk to?

How many people usually?

What do I tell them?
Mon, 01/02/2006 - 3:20 PM Permalink
Terry

I think the woman's name is Jean..but it doesn't matter.

Tell them the Cooler Crew is coming on the 21st of January starting at 7. Tell them last year they had us in the basement with our own bartender and food service.

There had to be 75 people there at any one time...and during the night with the comings and goings, there are usually more than 100 total.

I'll try calling during the day tomorrow.

Thanks! That would be super to have that taken care of and out of the way.

I really hate talking on the phone.

But I will, just for you guys.
Mon, 01/02/2006 - 3:29 PM Permalink
Terry

Awwwww....you're so sweet to do that.

I'm on a new job where I'm out in the middle of an office where everyone can hear whatever I'm saying. If that weren't the case, I would be glad to call. It's just not a good place to get that sort of calling taken care of during the day.

I don't have a problem doing it 3M. I did it a couple of years ago anyway. You just end up as more of a contact that night then anything else.

Lemme know and I'll take care of it tomorrow.

(I was gonna say git er done but I see it's been removed from the English language :wink: )

The girls are heading there tonight for a button run. I will mention it to Steph and see if they can speak to them about it while they are at the Bar.

As to the GW vs PM for predig when it was discussed a few weeks ago the general feedback was that while GW would work better for size and such it still needed to be at PM for sake of people not knowing where to find us. There was also the worry about potential cost etc.

I believe it was CM who brought up the idea of starting at PM.... going to get the paper and then moving it to GW's. (Taking over the entire town)

Tim wanted to have it at McDonalds playland.

Either way makes no diffrence to me. I'm just trying to get the info to those who need it.

The entire conversation is right here

BTW - If there was some other word given then I'm sorry. I wasn't trying to offend anyone. As it was pointed out on the 7th of Dec during that conversation the word needs to get out. I asked the other day if anyone knew what time the Pre Dig was going to start and if it was in fact happening at PM.

I didn't get any responses KITCH, "2006 St. Paul Winter Carnival Medallion Hunt" #1244, 30 Dec 2005 8:46 am

If you guys have some other answer then what I thought was decided then just say the word.

I am not in favor of moving the party - too many cats to herd. Let's just have Jake bring the clue back to McG like he always does.

But, I can go with the flow.

Let me know if the tax collectors take care of it tonight OTiS. Otherwise we can work something out tomorrow. I'll be on in the morning.
