The Nookery

The Nookery is the REALLY COOL HOUSE where nosebeepbear, Marc (aka Juggling Jesus), supremeherptile and sagesaria live. In addition to parties, we get people together every other Saturday for gaming. If you want to be added to the mailing list for gaming announcements, changes in schedule, etc., please email parties@nookery.org and/or join or watch this community. Directions available on request, assuming we know you.

Please do not pass on details of location without checking with a Nookery resident.

Parties begin late afternoon-ish on Friday and end Sunday night or Monday morning when we feel like kicking folks out. If you get here before we are ready, we draft you to help. If you are coming from out of town, and want to come early or stay late, because you hate traveling all this way for such a short time, that can probably be arranged.

Crash space is available. Let us know, early, though, if you need it. There is space for tents in the back yard.

By all means, bring your friends, but check with one of us first, so we have more of an idea who is coming.

Food varies based on the enthusiasm of the participants, but generally we have at least homemade pizza and bread, and, of course, omelettes. (Thank you, Omelette Boy!) Anyone else who feels like cooking is welcome to, provided **NO ONIONS** are used.

We like to play games here, but we like people who don't, too. Mah Jongg, Fluxx, Merchants of Venus, Iron Dragon, Settlers of Catan, Cribbage, Magic (under 5th edition or earlier rules), Robo Rally, Apples to Apples, Guillotine, Eleusis, Pokemon, and a slew of Cheap Ass Games are favorites here. If people bring stuffed things (we love stuffed things!), nosebeepbear can sometimes be talked into running Fuzzy Heroes. Feel free to bring games of your own.

We hope to set aside some time for poetry workshops, readings, and discussions, so bring poetry. Musicians should bring their instruments, and we will find time for playing. We have a number of large seperate spaces in the house, a screened in porch, and a large back yard.

Children are welcome, but the house is *not* child-proofed. We mean it.

We don't need alcohol to have fun, and we would rather not have it. One of the denizens of the Nookery is very sensitive to the smell.

Smoking: Don't. Really.

Allergies: Nuts (especially peanuts), MSG, smoke, onions.

Please keep anything with peanuts outside! We have a friend with a life-threatening nut allergy, and we would rather keep him around. Other: If you have an allergy, especially a food allergy, let us know. If you bring something you have made, please provide a complete ingredient list, so that people with allergies can see for themselves whether they can eat it.

Driveway is reserved for handicapped parking. There is plenty of parking on the street, and the school parking lot three doors down should be available on the weekend.
