I am not sure who will benefit from me pulling out, but it is looking like this is 95% possibility. I want to make sure people have time to plan, so I am going to vanquish my spot now. Sad I canāt be thereā¦it look like my first refuge event will be in Tenn.

I am just returning to the refuge from summer kidās baseball/my golf events hiatus to see an event an hour away from me. Imagine my horror when I go to sign up and the waitlist is almost at 40. What are the odds this event gets an āexpanded field?ā I have Sweetens passes on Sunday the 7th, but will likely drop those for this event. I understand this isnāt in line with the usual nonsense currently happening in the thread. Crucify me if you willā¦

AN ANNOUNCEMENT
Happy September everyone, we are 9 weeks out. And while that a really long time, it actually is not as we will be to Halloween very, very fast.
I am asking everyone to go back into the google doc (linked below again) and CONFIRM their anticipated attendance by Tuesday, September 7. That goes for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday golf. If you do not update your line by Tuesday, we will assume what is on there is your commitment, and blank cells are taken as a ānoā. We will be able to confirm your entry shortly after so you can arrange your travel plans. Yes, even if you are 40th on the alternate list, please do so, because no one has even said how full the field is going to be, and this isnāt the refuge unless we try to do something crazy (gestures broadly and winks to everyone).
As always, reach out with questions. Thanks.

How tf did I not notice the castellanos drive to left field jokes up at the top??? Absolutely top shelf comedy.
Also I didnāt see a spot for it on the sheet, but Iām signing up for āguy who brings $2 billsā so we should be good there. And it goes without saying that Iām willing to extend people credit who want to shoot dice but donāt have crumpled $1 and $2 bills handy.

Shoutout to @lostinthewoods who is inside the cutline but has answered no/blank for all events.

Literal definition of ājust happy to be part of the conversationā

Love your choice of Airline.
Almost no other option flying out of Dallas, Southwest doesnāt fly direct.
I still celebrate default wins.
Iāll be there for the main event
EDIT TO MY POST:
The green shading is a good trend, please shade your line when you are confirmed.
Thanks!

I am in a predicament. I donāt get on here much anymore so this might be news to a lot of you, but weāre expecting on Christmas Day. Itās a baby girl and weāre going to name her Josie, mostly because Iām a huge blink-182 fan and thatās my favorite song by them. November 6 is a little past when her O.B. wants her to be traveling and it may take some convincing to get her to come with meā¦ itās going to take some heavy weaponry. Weāre talking wax-sealed envelope territory.
I have started the process of re-writing the lyrics of the song Josie to ask for her permission to travel that weekend (as long as itās 100% okay by the doctor) hoping that maybe the refuge collective can put something togetherā¦?
Weāre swinging for the fences here folks. Also I canāt reply for an hour so bear with me.

Lots of great songs have a āJosieā in them. Like, Your Love by the Outfield.

Iāve never heard the song but just threw it on and I can handle the guitar part. Should probably have a drum track to record off of though. If only there was a world famous drummer on the refugeā¦ā¦.
Steely Dan also has a song called Josie FYI. Maybe your wife is into soft jazz rock and you never knew.

Very aware of the Steely Dan song thanks to @anon29849602. Absolute bop.
Also, multiple famous collective drummers liked my initial postā¦
