📌 PLEASE, read the text below in its entirety before RVSP'ing even if you read it before! 🙏

❤️💙💚💛💜🧡🤎

📌 If you need to reach me (Marina) Telegram is the best bet (username is @Squelfland) as Meetup is notoriously bad when it comes to notifying me of messages --it just doesn't. PLEASE ONLY DM ME ABOUT MEET-RELATED QUESTIONS.

😋 THIS MEET'S SNACKS/FOOD 😋

You are welcome to bring chips, canned sodas (we can save these for the next meet unlike big bottles) dips, cheeses, or sweets like cookies, or any other snacks you can think of. Please let me know what you will be bringing, if anything. Anything unused is saved for the next meet.

AS USUAL, IT WILL BE A PIZZA NIGHT! Contributions via cash, Paypal or Zelle when we order will be highly appreciated, as it's a lot of pizza! 🍕🍕🍕 If you plan to have some, please, PLEASE try to contribute to its purchase. 🙏 It's so much easier if everyone pitches in.

🍻 Please bring your own alcohol 😁

🌻 HOUSE RULES AND INFORMATION 🌻

⛔ NO ONE UNDER 21 PLEASE. This is due to Florida liquor liability laws, since there is usually some drinking going on at our house. We may ask you to show ID at the door to confirm your age if you look very young.

🐣 FIRST TIMERS: If you have an empty profile/no profile picture, you will be removed from the list for this event. PLEASE DO NOT BRING GUESTS IF YOU ARE A FIRST-TIME MEMBER.

🐼 ESTABLISHED MEMBERS: Please run it by me before bringing over any guests.

✅ RSVPs: We have to cap events to make sure everyone fits comfortably into our home and driveway. Stuff happens, but please try to avoid repeatedly cancelling your RSVP at the last minute. It means someone else can't attend, and food going to waste. Make sure you update your RSVP to "attending" if your situation changes. Please do not bring guests not included in your RSVP.

🤧 PLEASE DO NOT ATTEND IF YOU ARE VISIBLY SICK. Help keep everyone safe. If you have a fever/are sneezing and coughing all over the place because of a cold or flu, please stay home and rest! We look forward to seeing you next time.

🐶 ANIMALS: Although we love all animals, our home is not dog-proof, and we have six cats that could be very distressed by the smell of a strange animal in their environment. For this reason, we kindly ask that no pets be brought into our home for any reason, no exceptions. If you need to have an animal with you, we look forward to meeting you and them at one of the meetups not held in our home.

🚪 PAY ATTENTION TO THE CATS AND THE DOORS! We have SIX cats. Please be careful when going in and out. WATCH YOUR FEET FOR CATS AND ALWAYS CLOSE AND LOCK THE DOOR BEHIND YOU! Do NOT let the cats outside: They are indoor-only cats. If you go out on the porch, please do NOT use/open the screened-doors. They are kept locked because sometimes they don't close very well. Some cats in our porch are not allowed in the house, and vice versa. To be on the safe side, please do not let cats through any door. It could be really bad if you do as some of them fight and the night could end very badly.

🚗 PARKING: The driveway will get PACKED. Please park as straight as possible and in such a way as to maximize the available space. If you're not sure, ask us, we will help. If your car leaks oil, PLEASE park on the grass.

🌈 HAVE FUN! Dance on our DDR machine, play on one of the consoles in the game room, help yourself to the snacks that are laid out. Play one of our many board games in the dining room, or go chit-chat on the porch with other attendees. Or, head into the movie room to watch anime in the projector. Multiple things will be going on at a given time, and you are sure to find something to do, and someone to talk to!

Regretfully, we had to put our games under lock and key due to theft at the meets. If you need any game from the video game cabinets, just let us know which one and we'll get it out for ya.

📺 WANT ANIME? BRING STORAGE! We have a server full of every possible anime! If you saw or discussed something you'd like to watch at home, simply bring storage with you. Some type of USB drive with enough space, hopefully USB 3.0 if possible, will work. Christopher will copy what you want, within reason (it takes time to copy stuff!)

🔫 NO WEAPONS PLEASE. Do not bring weapons of any kind into our home, concealed or otherwise.

💖 BE RESPECTFUL AND KIND! Our home is an inclusive and LGBTIQA+ friendly space. Remember to respect everyone's boundaries, preferred names, pronouns, etc. Just be good to each other. Some attendees are very shy at first! Give people space if they seem to want it. Have fun, but keep jokes and tone-appropriate and light. Please do not bring up politics, religion, or other volatile/upsetting topics that could lead to friction, or make racist or homophobic comments, if you do so, you will be asked to leave immediately and not be welcomed back. We want everyone to feel safe and comfortable.

✨🍥 SEE YOU SOON!! 🍥✨

❤️💙💚💛💜🧡🤎
