Camp Mustache Canada - 2017

(As a presenter, you will be invited to field questions in the QF round. If you have to leave early, it means your adoring fans will have unanswered queries.)

Are only presenters doing the lightning round? Also are you splitting it in groups, not doing it whole-group? Do you have sticky/post-it notes packed for CMC for lightning round purposes?  :)

I'm super excited about the lightning round, I was thinking of starting a thread on it.

Yes I have post-it pads.

How can you start a question thread before the presentations have even happened? The whole idea for this round is that the questions that were unanswered have a chance after the clock has run out on the session.

[MonkeyJenga]

Ohhh I can Kanban my presentation.

[Le Poisson]

Ohhh I can Kanban my presentation.

But not that many post-it pads.

[Le Poisson]

Hey Everyone, poor Deb can read the forums, but she can't post.

I think now would be a good time for everyone to say Hi to her.


Hi Deborah. Hope you're having a fine evening.

[okits]

See you soon, Deborah!  I hope you are having fun in the days leading up to CMC.

[MonkeyJenga]

Ohhh I can Kanban my presentation.

But not that many post-it pads.

I'll bring some.

Hi deborah! Looking forward to meeting you and your pet drop bear.

The thread would be explaining the lightning round and getting people hyped about it.

The post-its would be for jotting questions and putting them on the big board post-presentation, but pre-lightning round, for sorting into groups and having presenters see some ahead of time (and allow people to get them down as they think of them, before they forget).

Hi Deborah...only a couple more days and you can answer all our endless questions in person :)

[CheapskateWife]

I just realized this week that our flight is going to have us coming in well after registration...don't wait up for us!  We'll catch up!

Cheapskate wife, how late is your flight? If you talk to toronto.poutine, you might be able to do her a huge favour

Hi!

It was lovely meeting everyone at the Toronto meetup on Thursday night!

I was the lurker at the meet-up but have now made an account :).

I hope you're all having a wonderful time at the camp! I will definitely be there next year!

Take care :)

You are one sneaky sneaker.

I mentioned around the campfire that another blogger had been loitering at the camp, and this lead to much speculation about who the sneaky blogger could be. Of course, now that you've posted, the speculation may grow... intense. Looking forward to sharing a beer and some stories around the fire next year. Oh - and if you play Volley-Hockey-ball, look out for Ali - she's a little intense.

Thanks for coming to the camp, and I'm glad you had a good time!

Prosp, I'm 99% sure she was referring to the dog fountain meetup Thursday night....NOT the secret blogger making sure we all weren't bat shit crazy at camp.

[Le Poisson]

Oh yeah! I have the wrong event!

Sorry about that!!! Now I need to figure who I'm talking to!

Welcome! So, did you decide we were weird or not weird? 

[elaine amj]

I've posted in our ultra-secret Camp thread but want to publicly declare what an amazing job Prospector did in organizing the first-ever CMC. So much passion, energy, and thought went into every detail both large and small. It was a fantastic Camp and Prospector did all the work in setting the stage for us to make connections, learn new things, and get inspired.

You were awesome, too, Elaine!

[arebelspy]

Everyone was awesome.

Prospector was especially wonderfully awesome.

Amazing weekend. :)

[Le Poisson]

Stop making me blush guys. As Axecleaver said in his secrets to success, I just showed up and did my job.

[Daisy]

I had a wonderful time at camp. It was my first real meetup. It turns out my family and friends are wrong, and you Internet strangers are a fine bunch.

The food was great! Good job in picking that locale, Prospector.

Many thanks to our dear leader Prospector for keeping on top of things both before and during camp.

And also to Elaine for the money laundering.

Ellefiji did a great job with the carpools. Everything went perfectly on that front. I'd also like to thank those that provided me with a ride, you know who you are.

Now if I can just get that decompression started...

I decided that CMC people were a perfect amount of weird! Also, I put No Sheep For You on hold at the library, thanks for the recommendation!

What about BabySpy2.0?

If we get win the lottery for tickets, Babyspy 2 will very likely come (that'd be too much time apart for one that young, in our opinion), but babies are much easier to rock and still participate fully than a toddler who needs much more attention.  :)

Annabelle was MUCH easier at CM Seattle 3 & 4 (not born yet for 1 & 2) than she was at CM*TO 1.

Auberge Prospy basement dwellers will be pleased to know that the motion light has been reallocated to the play room and removed from the stairs.

Peace be unto those sleeping in the basement.

The huddled masses of the basement thank the most benevolent dictator for his skill and determination. May those who return marvel at your work.

Dibs on the upstairs room! (An upstairs room?)

[Le Poisson]

I am pleased to announce our second confirmed speaker for CM*TO2018...

Canuck ExPat will be returning to run another session on FIRE... or on living on your own terms... or on which beer he prefers to sip while contemplating why the rest of the world is working while he is playing.

Related: 60 entries in the lottery so far...

[MonkeyJenga]

Woohoo! This was the most personally useful session, and I know a lot of other people got something out of it.

[Lews Therin]

I WANT TO KNOW THESE THINGS!

[Le Poisson]

CM*TO 2018 lottery closes to entries tonight precisely at: Whatever O'clock I get around to it.

Currently have 85 entries in the lottery representing just over 100 people (some couples/families). There will be about 75 bunks available.

I suggest entering quickly rather than hoping for a wait-list spot. AFAIK, this is the only CM offering bell tower Karaoke. And definitely the only one with VolleyHockeyBall.

And possibly the only one with hula hoops??

Fingers crossed...

[Le Poisson]

The entry form for the bunk lottery is now closed. We will do the lottery by Dec 15th. Watch your inbox!

Important question... who is putting their CMC toque to use this week?

[BiochemicalDJ]

Wore it in this morning, though I probably should have had a balaclava under it XD

[deborah]

It is the middle of summer. Going to be 38C here on Friday. If I wore my toque my brains would fry!

[MonkeyJenga]

I wore it at camp Fi... In Florida.

[Le Poisson]

I wore it at camp Fi... In Florida.

Did they hand out bikinis there?

[Daisy]

I went to Camp FI last weekend. Even Florida got cold! I didn't wear my toque there but I did wear it camping this past weekend in Central Florida. It was coooooold... so cold we had to abort the camping trip a day early.

[okits]

I wore my CMC 2017 t-shirt.  It reminded me of how much fun that weekend was!  It also reminded me that I have to wait another eight months for CM*TO. 

I suggest a house party at Prospector's, in the meantime.  We can hula hoop and play Civ.

[Reggie]

Important question... who is putting their CMC toque to use this week?

I honestly wear it every day.  It keeps me warm and no one has any idea what it represents... Only me...

I wear it pretty much every day too. Except not this weekend when it was TOO WARM OUTSIDE! (sorry, not sorry)

[ElleFiji]

Mine falls off my head. Like it pops off. Almost like it's too small, but that makes no sense because half my hats are from the children's section.

Please explain more

I can't explain, but I have a similar issue!

Guy90 started calling me Tippy because it would ride up until it looked like a condom tip.
