Title: F PLUS LIVE 4: The Best Two Days Of Your Life
Post by: Lemon on August 11, 2015, 12:40:36 pm
So hopefully everyone is aware by now, but F Plus Live is a go, and this is the page for it.
http://thefpl.us/wrote/the-f-plus-live-announcement

As I mentioned up there, we're still fine tuning the actual reading list for the thing. I think there's a lot of fun to be had in fanfiction, my only real caveat on that is that I want to make sure that the night is varied. We got some really fantastic variety in the "romance" novels last year, so I'd like to continue that and make sure we're not just reading Harry Potter slash over and over. Or slash at all. Which isn't to say we shouldn't read explicit things, but variety is all I'm saying here. Lots of variety.

So, feel free to make suggestions, either here or in my email box.

I'm personally surprised Boots didn't manage to talk you into F Plus Live 4: How To Listen To A Live Podcast.

Fanfic sounds perfect, but if you take anything away from Live 3 it should be more group readings. The script reading intermissions between readers were honestly my favourite parts.

Hey if you guys ever do a magick/alt medicine/other hippie bullshit live show, I picked up a copy of Mixing Essential Oils for Magic (http://www.amazon.com/Mixing-Essential-Oils-Magic-Aromatic/dp/0738736546/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1439342686&sr=8-1) at the local college (!) bookstore during a clearance sale for $1 and would be happy to ship it off to one of the readers. I've only skimmed it a bit but already found some gems. Did you know that hops are good for sexual attraction spells? Also lemon is good for increasing psychic abilities and also moon magic. Also celery is good for boner magic, etc., etc.

Any hotel in downtown Minneapolis will be good.

See what you can get from the thing on Priceline where you choose your price. Bumpgrrl and I got to stay at the W Hotel for $90/night a few years ago.

Like Boots said, pretty much any hotel downtown would work, and they're all basically in walking distance of Grumpy's (and easily accessible from the train, if you're flying in).

FattyBoBatty, August 12, 2015, 11:57:30 am
I'd really just recommend you get anything close to the blue line (http://www.metrotransit.org/metro-blue-line). Downtown Minneapolis would be best, but just try to make sure you can stumble back and forth to the train station. Being near the train makes getting around so much easier. Otherwise it's cabs.

Oh, and Lemon, If I can, I still want to film this one.
Mique, August 12, 2015, 12:26:32 pm
Let's discuss that closer to the event. I'm totally game, but I want to be respectful of any readers who are camera-shy.

I talked to Grumpy's yesterday about moving some furniture around, so we'll have more room.

There are tons of hotels within a short walk of this station.  It is an easy landmark.  The venue is less than a mile and not a bad walk at all.

DO NOT stay near the Mall of America, or across the river, or whatever else you might think of doing to save money.  You will spend a lot of time getting from place to place, and the money you saved on a hotel will be wasted on cab fare.

Several years back Lemon had a way of making Priceline get you a decent hotel downtown.  Not sure if it still works or if he can remember how to do it.

Well, to be honest, I'm really asking for bragging rights more than anything else. I'd love to have a list of different places that people would be coming to the event from, just because that would be terrific and humbling information to have. So this is more of a "Fuck you dad, people like me!" than anything logistical.

Put me down for a tentative yes. I'm still figuring out accommodations once I get to Minnesota, but I have travel plans figured out. 26 hours on a bus, but I can sleep through anything.

If anyone wants to split a hotel room or would be kind enough to let me hitch a ride from the outskirts, that would be greatly appreciated. If not, I'll manage.

Awesome, can't wait for this. Bad fanfiction is my favorite type of content you guys read, I'm super-excited for a whole evening of it.

Just wondering, though, is the date basically set in stone or is there a chance it'll change? I need ask for days off a couple weeks in advance (go retail), and I want to make sure that it doesn't unexpectedly change to, say, that Saturday or a different week entirely.

For people looking to go,  I'm noticing a lot of the more affordable hotels near the bar are booked up. It looks like there is a marathon in town on the 4th, which might be why. So it might be good to get those reservations done quickly.

Because news industry, I work both sunday evenings and monday morning, but I would love to attend the readings themselves if they're late enough at night. I wouldn't dare stay for party times or anything, but if you could give me a vague ballpark on when things are read, that would be awesome. Because I want to go. Long have I wanted to go to an fplus live. And now I live in St Paul and DAMMIT, DAMMIT, LET ME DO THIS, LIFE

Same here! I'll probably be checking into a hotel around 2-3pm, but I would like to know some times for planning.

Also hello!!! I'm Zyn and I'll be flying in from Texas! I have an anime convention in Corpus Christi that I'm selling at that weekend, but I'll be ditching those chumps early to drive to Houston, dump all my stuff at my parent's, and fly out on Sunday. So hopefully I can make enough money to pay for the whole trip Friday and Saturday :D I'm super excited and I can't wait to meet everyone!!

I need to get some of the specifics taken care of, but we do have an event space boked for Saturday now as well. I'll post details here just as soon as I hear from the taproom manager, but we're making a full weekend out of F Plus Live.

Saturday will be at a different location, there will be $5 beers to partake in.

This will be more of a party than a show, so there won't be a bunch of live reading, but there will be entertainment.

So CLEAR YOUR SATURDAY.

(Again, I'll provide details when everything is confirmed. Just want to get the hype train on the tracks cause I am excited.)

Just to be clear, the idea of bringing food is for people who would find the idea of bringing food enjoyable. Do not think it's compulsory and show up with some Duncan Hines or whatever, it's fine.

one or two pies of regular size, that is, baked in a nine inch diameter circular pan. contents: whatever fresh fruit looks appealing at the time, though i am most practiced with apples. i could take fruit type requests. i really, really like dessert baking.

Depends on what you like. There's a lot of terrific breweries and a really nice distillery that just opened up. I also think it's fun to rent a Nice Ride (https://www.niceridemn.org/) and tour the Greenway (http://midtowngreenway.org/about-the-greenway/map/). It's a terrific ride.

As another random thing to do in Minneapolis, I think it's fun to get lost in the Skyway (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minneapolis_Skyway_System). This is better during business hours because more shit is open, but it's kind of fun in the weekend when it's empty tunnels that twist around buildings.

If one is so inclined, the Minneapolis Institute of Art is a really cool museum and general admission is free - same with the Weisman downtown.

Adding onto this, it looks like they have a really lovely print collection, with a lot of well known printmakers, if that's your jam. Call ahead and they'll pull out (almost) any piece you'd like to see, since it's very rare for many museums to have a lot of prints on display in galleries.  You can scroll through and search the collection here - https://collections.artsmia.org/index.php?page=search#department=2

I'm a little jealous, I've always wanted to see a Dürer up close, and they have quite a few of them.

It actually isn't. It's the largest ball of sisal twine built by a single person. I know, exciting right? Just imagine it. And then, uhhhh, well if you've imagined it, you won't have to go.

No, when I thought the stickers were lost forever I removed the buy buttons from the page. Back up.
