sophiaserpentiaSometimes it seems like ideas just come through you, instead of to you.
Was thinking about![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
alobar's description of the game of Destiny, and his lament that there was not a large enough group of familiar people in New Orleans to have a viable game. I thought, "Well, we'll just have to bring them *back* here, then," and the following idea was born. Of course, it is now way beyond the game of Destiny, but I'm on a roll now.
Suppose a conclave were to be held, perhaps under the auspices oflady_babalon's Raven Clan. Suppose certain former (and future?) residents of New Orleans who now live in Massachusetts and Texas, and others, could be enticed to come here for an extended weekend.
Sketchier parts of the idea started to flesh themselves out while I was in the shower this morning. A possible location might be the clothing-optional campground in Slidell where the Wyldfyre festivals were held. As I understand it the owner of the place is pagan-friendly, though I'm not so sure about the management. (I know that three or four of you were directly involved with this -- do any of you care to speak on whether this is a viable option? I'm not about to call LC and ask.)
Since many of the friends who came to mind have an interest in BDSM it seems logical to acknowledge that in some way.
If we set it around Mabon, the preceeding weekend (Sept. 19-21) seems like a reasonable time to hold a campout in New Orleans. Another thought is Samhain, but I think the nights in Slidell are actually cool enough in late October to cause some of us to have hesitations about camping out then.
Thoughts?
EDIT: I would prefer to keep this as informal as possible. Nothing organized whatsoever -- perhaps a short itinerary of events -- but more or less just an agreed upon place and time.

Date: 2003-05-16 05:52 am (UTC)Obviously (I should hope) illegal drug use would be something they wouldn't like, not wanting to lose their place or anything. Not that I would tell anyone what to do, but just suggesting - keep it subtle enough to be ignored if that is the intention. They do not appear to be concerned with drinking. The oddest thing about them is their pricing policy, which seems to change daily, but often is based on how many men are in your party. Essentially, men get charged to show up and women do not. From what I understand, this is from their fear that the place would become a huge gay bath house. Okay, they're SORT OF open-minded hicks. There's only so much you can expect in Slidell - I was amazed there was a nudist camp at all when I first heard of it.
Katiana and me went there one extremely hot summer day. There were several old guys drinking by the pool. While we got occasional admiring glances, we were not harassed in any way. Nudists are funny that way - they are less likely to sexually harass a pretty unclothed girl than "normal" people on the street are likely to harass the same girl when she's wearing clothes...
You may ask akaiyume and secret_willow about the camp site too, they went there as well. I know I cannot visit in September, but perhaps secret willow can.
