Ok, guys, this is what we gotta do now. I have two spare bedrooms with beds, one is already reserved for Adey and the other will be first come first served. But if there is a couple (chy/Di) they would get the first choice. There is room on the floors of the two bedrooms for another person in each. Downstairs: I have a small spare room with a couch that has two recliners on the ends, that will hold two folks. Another spare room in basement with a couch that has Tad's name on it (we have a long standing deal for the couch when he comes over - he always brings me really good beers when he comes over for a visit, hint hint) There is room on the floor in that room for at least two more people. It is all padded and carpeted and I have a couple rollup backpacker air-matress things that are very comfortable. I have one or two futons, not sure how many actually, I gotta find them. I also have another room that has a pool table in the middle of it, right next to the beer fridge, that 4 people could sleep around if needed. It is also carpeted and padded and actually quite comfy. I have slept on it a few times. Upstairs, there are two large recliners and another couch with two more recliners on the ends. They are all the extra large ones and quite comfy for sleeping as well. There is also room for about 4-6 more people on the floor if you don't mind being "friendly". Last year it looked like a display of sleepingbags and it was not a problem for anyone. So, the jist of the deal is this, whoever gets here first, can lay claim to open areas. You guys can arm-wrestle or whatever, I can't keep track anymore. So, show up early for a good spot. So, there's room if you wanna save the $$, but I can only fit about 20. Bags would be a good idea if you have them. But the Lafayette is also right down the road too for the loud snoorers and farters I have a nice large private backyard that is also great fro camping too if you want to bring a tent and bag you're good to go. You could even find a nice private spot in the small woods under the pines where the deer like to sleep. It is like a giant pine needle mattress in there, pretty cool actually.
A word to the wise is not necessary. It is the stupid ones who need the advice.
