Tea, but no wine (Mad Science Tea, 6/11/2011)
`Have some wine,' the March Hare said in an encouraging tone.
Alice looked all round the table, but there was nothing on it but tea. `I don't see any wine,' she remarked.
`There isn't any,' said the March Hare.
`Then it wasn't very civil of you to offer it,' said Alice angrily.
`It wasn't very civil of you to sit down without being invited,' said the March Hare.
But in this case, you ARE invited. But there will still be no wine - alcohol is not permitted in public parks.
This Saturday, beginning at 3:00 pm, please come to Lewinsville Park (http://maps.google.com/maps/place?cid=6965497655906969819&q=Lewinsville+Park&cd=1&cad=src:ppiwlink,view:smartmaps&ei=0mbsTfaQBKaYyASTqZzOBg&dtab=0) for a picnic and the flying of kites.
Don’t have a kite! No problem ! Mika and I have a few dozen that we’re more than happy to give away. They’re all rainbow-colored diamond-shaped kites, which were intended for a Gay rights demonstration; I hope you’re comfortable with that.
Other than kites, we’ll be bringing a portable shelter in case of rain or excess sun - bear in mind that the weather reports say this weekend should be warm, but not as hellishly hot as it has been - and plenty of water. We’ll also be bringing lemonade and iced tea. I intend to make some “traditional” picnic sandwiches - cucumber, egg salad, chicken salad, that sort of thing. Possibly fruit, and if I’m feeling ambitious, cookies.
What should you bring?
Well, a kite if you have one. Sunscreen wouldn’t be a bad idea at all. More water won’t hurt. Any outdoor thing like Frisbees or lawn darts that you might enjoy. Other drinks and finger foods would be very welcome (remember, no alcohol!). There are grills, but unless anyone specifically asks, Mika and I are not bringing any charcoal. Oh, and if anyone should have a good picnic blanket it might be nice; there are tables, to be sure, but no guarantee we’ll get one.
Most importantly, bring yourself! Remember, if you need a ride from the metro, let me know. If you’re nto sure where Lewinsville Park is, check the link above or call me. For those who don’t know, my cell phone is 913-269-9873.
