DirtWeek Late Night Activities

[Okiewan]

It's never an issue, but with more and more people attending each year, we've got to lay down a rule from time to time :(

We are going to set-up the bonfire area as far away from the main pit area as possible this year. Most people will be worn-out (trust me on this :D) and wanting to hit the sack fairly early during DirtWeek. In a perfect world, everyone would be concerned about everyone and a "quiet cerfew" wouldn't be necessary, but...

So we are all on the same page, 11:00 PM is it. Voices down, music off, etc. (humm, I don't recall hearing ANY music last year?)... anyway, you know how to chill, that's when to do it. No way am I saying it's "lights-out", just be considerate of those trying to sleep. Cool?

Absolutely kewl with moi. :)

No whining or crying after 11:00pm either, yes? :debil:

Generators?

 

[Okiewan]

The plan is to put all those who might use a generator together at one end of the pits, everyone else as far away as possible. It's doubtful generators will be needed at night in October (if you recall, it wasn't an issue at DW in September).

Us in the slums heard afew generators running during the night last year. Of course it wasnt bad compared the the hourly train whisle. :)

[BSWIFT]

Sounds more than reasonable. I'm in.

to those of you who cant sleep with noise i am going to make a suggestion. those 1.96 for 10 soft ear plugs are camping gotta haves. ive used em at the dunes where very loud vehicles run literally 24/7. i have used them on mountain tops in the middle of nowhere but tent mate snored louder than a garbage truck. they work ............just ask mx547 or bswift as to the my ability to sleep amid the din.

I don't think they'd help when you are screaming as you cramp up. ;)

I won't be staying the nights because I live in Stillwater. Should be in a house by then, no more trips to the storage unit! Woo Hoo! But it sounds like a good idea to me. I don't want to have to be on the track with a bunch of grumps who didn't get their beauty sleep. Something tells me that I might miss out on a few things of interest but it is hard to beat your own bed and from what I am told I snore louder than a YZF with a Yosh pipe. Had surgery on the nose a couple of years ago so that I could breath out of it, Kind of like putting torque reads and a shorty silencer on at the same time, lots of low end! So my presence should not be missed late in the evening.

How about a little generator for some Glade Plug Ins if Elk is upwind? :moon:

 

[dave186]

I say get a power inverter, what are you running all night that needs a generator, the beer fridge maybe?

My snoring is sometimes mistaken for the roar of a generator whose bearings are almost gone.
