get_together | Registration Form 2014

This year’s rego is in two parts: the first is similar to years past, the second is aimed more at the whole anniversary extravaganza thing. If some of the answers down there are lost to time feel free to leave them out, but that probably means you’ll be at the mercy of my reminiscing when I perform the epic History of Get Together in dactylic hexameter, so try to take a guess. Maybe we can crowd source the truth, *g*. It always gives me joy to read these things, and it’s been doubly edifying this year re-reading old ones. We were all so young and carefree once… Hey, remember that time we had live readings of explicit fic in my dining room? Remember when people got drunk and broke my chairs? Remember the capoeira drummers?

ETA: Now that I’ve filled mine out I’ve discovered that I was pretty verbose with some answers, and while I contemplated editing I’ve decided to leave it that way. You certainly don’t have to do the same if you don’t want to, but if you’ve got something to say and half an hour to kill, then please do. This kind of long form rambling is something we’ve mostly lost and something I miss, much as twitter is now the medium of my heart.
