Kriscago People
Everyone else feel free to ignore the travel instructions below the cut.
Dancing Adam is for everyone though.
Elle's guide to Kriscago: What to Bring, What to leave home, and a Cultural Guide to the Midwest:
So you're coming to Kriscago. Specifically, you are journeying to a land north of Chicago called "Milwaukee." Specifically, I live in West Allis, which is the blue collar, white trash suburb. Why do I live there? The houses are cheap and pretty and it's close to everything. The locals call it "Stallis" or "Dirty Stallis." While in Stallis and its environs do not be surprised by the plentiful ethnic minorities or women with femmullets. It's all part of the ~charm.
I live in a Milwaukee Bungalow. For those who don't know what the fuck that is, please get with the program. It's a one and a half story home with the ridge of the roof running perpandicular to the street. The gable is clipped for aesthetic reasons. Why the fuck am I telling you this the only one who will understand these words is Julia and she already knows what a Bungalow is.
Anyway, the point of that is that it's an old house. 1921. It only has one bathroom. OMG. So please understand that we need to take showers at weird ass times. Speaking of Bathroom:
I have, and You can use:
Hairdryer
Currling iron
flat iron (large and small)
toothpaste
towels
Face Wipes
Shampoo
Conditioner
Body Wash
Obviously if you are partial to your own shit that's cool, I'm not offended. But you don't need to bring it. What you will want to bring is a WASHCLOTH if you use cause I only have like 5 of those.
My house can ~comfortably sleep a lot of people. For guests, we have the following accommodations:
Blue Room: Queen Bed (2) with lofted Twin (1)
Loft: Two couches (2) single bed (1) and queen blow up mattress (2)
Yellow Room: Floor space for like 4 in sleeping bags on carpet.
Anyone is welcome to try and sweet talk my brother in law into sharing his queen bed. But his room is like, a pit of laundry. SCARY! I don't go in there.
My house is OLD. Read: Drafty. Leave your neglige at home and bust out long sleeve t shirts and pj pants. I DO have enough blankets and sleeping bags for all.
HOWEVER I THINK WE WILL BE SHORT PILLOWS. If TRAIN PEOPLE could bring a pillow that would be great. I have a TON but there are a lot of you.
WEATHER:
It looks like we will have a nice weekend! Mid thirties and sunny! I know, I know. That sounds "nice" to me and probably horrifying to some of you. I have... a limited supply of hideous winter jackets. Don't BUY one if you don't have one. I'll see what I can scrounge up from friends if you need. Gloves? We can trek to walgreens and get you like $3 stretchy gloves.
ALLERGIES:
If you have food allergies or food HATES, please leave me a comment. DNW to buy something thinking it will be good times and then accidentally kill you.
ALSO I HAVE A CAT. She is frandly but not a hover-er. She will probably hide from us cause of all the commotion. Most people that are allergic to cats don't seem to mind her. We have lots of allergy meds JIC but if you have something that works for you, bring it.
FOOD/DRINK: I am so poor you guys. I would normally have a ton of stuff :( It's kin dof embarrassing actually. Oh well. We'll figure out something. I am thinking doughnuts/bagels for saturday morning, sandwhich spread for lunch, and then Allen Fam Dinner on Saturday.
Bag omlettes on Sunday morning, Booyah for Sunday Lunch, and homemade pizza for Sunday Night.
I would greatly appreciate donations to groceries and booze. OH GOD IT PAINS ME TO SAY THAT :( :( :(
We could also go out but with how many of us there are, Idk.
NEAR MY HOUSE we have Taco Bell, Long John Silvers, a Latin Place, a Mexican Place, pretty much any fast food you could want, and INCREDIBLE THAI PLACE, Dlivery chinese, Delivery pizza, grocery store, Target. It's a major metro area, we have everything within Five minutes.
Activities:
On Friday I figure we'll do something chicago-y before the concert, as once we unite with Soapy and Styles we will have too many ppl to fit in my car. Good thing that station is right down town and only 1.2 miles from the theatre - also near all the museums and stuff. We can taxi or walk, really.
Muesums:/Attractions (Please think this over)
Art Institute: Really nice if Art if your thing.
Sears Tower: OOOH A BIG BUILDING OMG YOU CAN GO UP THERE AND SEE OTHER BUILDINGS (actually it's awesome)
Navy Pier: Mall-cum-tourist trap but kinda neat, IDK.
Planetarium: A planetariun. It was neat when I was there in 1994 ok? IDk what it's like now
Aquarium: An Aquarium. It's pretty epic
Field Museum: OMG awesome field museum.
Really, the important ? is WHICH OF THESE PLACES IS KRIS LIKELY TO GO???
MILWAUKEE:
Our Art Museum is boss. The building more than the stuff inside, but the infinity room is cool. It looks like infinity IDK. Lots of modern stuff.
Irish Pubs: We have a ton of good ones.
We have an IMAX idk. It's neat.
We have fried cheese curds and you will eat them. And love them. get over it.
IDK other stuff? We have lots, but this is already Teal Deer.
Oh, if ppl need Jesus he's right down the street I think. IDK. There are churches all over the damn place, look for a steeple.
Jews, on the other hand, need to go across town where the rich people live. It's nice there, should you feel the sudden need to temple or whatever it is you do.
GUYS I AM SO EXCITE!!!
OMG EVERYONE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE comment with your intineraries, even if you have previously told me. I want it all in one place cause I love you and want to make sure I have all the info correct. Time and Airline please.
Dancing Adam is for everyone though.
