We're Decennials! A SURPRISE 10'th Anniversary (Nat is starting to suspect…she is a doctor after all)

12227 Mays Canyon Rd. Guerneville, CA 95446

Dear campers and guests, THIS WEBSITE SUCKS...so bad, it can only do centered text, makes everything impossible to read. It restricts the email to less than 2000 characters, and it won't let me extract the emails....don't ever use this product again. TLDR; BYO -drinks, -cup, no single use, it might rain, blue house is for women/family and ingress is complicated. This email is full of capslock. I’ve been dreading this update, because I have several loose ends which I was hoping to tie up before this email lands. I tried so hard to VIBE this update, but the AI kept coming up with hallucinations. If you don’t know what VIBING is, you will by the end of this weekend. Alas, life happens, kids make everything slow and sticky like molasses. Jargon: SxS = side by side = off road golfcart Scope of the event is 120 humans, about 1/3-1/4 are small humans. ================ ================ ================ ===== SCHEDULE. = ================ ================ ================ === Friday 25th === * 12:00 (NEW TIME) ARRIVAL * 5:00PM in cocktail outfit (or costume) - Shoes with heals are not advised * 5:30PM SUPRISE * 6:30PM (or earlier) Dinner for epic Taqueria - Kids ride their bikes around Tree * Later is cabin party === Saturday 26th === * 10:00AM BRUNCH * 3:30PM CEREMONY in formal attire (or costume) * 4:30PM RECEPTION with authentic PERSIAN DINNER and tea service * Later is cabin party === Sunday 27th === * Free-for-all morning * 1:00PM ADRIAN’s YUCATAN BARBARCOA - Must stay if you can…not something you get everyday * Later is cabin party

============== ===== ARRIVAL. = ============== Arrival will be technical, because I cannot host all these pavement princess cars on my hilly property, they will have to park on the street. The idea is to get as close to my outer gate as possible, drop off all the gear, have a member stand with it and find the receptionist while someone parks the car. The receptionist with the clipboard and walkie talkie will coordinate the SxS to drop off the gear and possible help carry the gear to the site. Please avoid driving into the property center as there will be kids running around and it will likely cause a traffic jam. People not staying on premises, will need to park on street, no driving in for pickup — I’m too worried about kids running around. Details: === DROP GEAR === off at front gate and park on road towards EAST (Forestville) === RECEPTIONIST === will great everyone and usher you to your spot by foot/SxS === DO NOT DRIVE INTO PROPERTY === The open space which we typically use for our cars is hosting the event and kids will be running around. I decided it was best to make a blanket rule of no cars. unless: RV ingress/exodus Truck with camper 4x4/AWD+car camping Willing to car camp in pasture === HOTEL/AIRBNB === patrons will park on street and walk in === RVs === will be parked in flagged spots =============== ===== CAMPERS. = =============== Tent campers: upon dropping gear off at front outer gate and getting inline for delivery, a camp site will be allocated on 1st come 1st serve basis. Tent campers have access to many very private camp sites, including the very top of one of the local hills. Families with smaller kids will have preference for certain camping areas — tell the receptionist. Car camping in pasture is available, steep short ingress though. Trucks/SUV with 4x4/AWD are encouraged to camp up the hill, we have several spots cleared out — tell receptionist. Details: * TENT CAMPERS drop gear off at gate - SxS drives to site and drops gear off * KIDS get preference sites * Pasture is OPEN to all * Anyone with 4x4/AWD can camp up the hill ================ = RV and TRAILERS = ================ * RVs have flagged spaces, there is some wiggle room if it doesn’t make sense. * If a trailer, the attached truck must leave and park on street. * Make your best judgement, however, no one can park in the rotunda around the big tree, this is the event space. * Obvious ask: Do not block egress in case of fire or emergency. * NO water/electricity/waste hookups. ================ ================ ======= .= ======= WEATHER = ======= .= ================ ================ It might rain, my guess is not a shitstorm, but solid drizzling with some on/off light showers for half a day. Bring appropriate attire if that is the case.

================ ================ ========= .= ========= RULES = ========= .= ================ ================ I’ve nearly called all the groomsmen (well not quite, only talked to two). And they will be the point-men for any questions. I’ve learned a few things, one is success is delegation. They will all use their best judgment and work autonomous. However a few larger rules preside: === NO PLASTICS/SINGLE USE === 1. Try to be low impact 2. Quad Refuse Sorting: Garbage, Recycle, Compost Veggie, Compost with Meat === BLUE HOUSE is OFF LIMITS === for anyone who identifies as a dude — I need to keep this a sanctuary for my loving pregnant wife 1. The opposites are encouraged, just remember this is Natalie’s space 2. Family is welcome 3. Kids are DISCOURAGED unless you are watching them === CABIN is ON LIMITS === 1. This is the kid-zone and later evening event area with DJ music and fire pit 2. No one sleeps here by design 3. Shower/bathroom is available 4. Don’t be stupid, this is my house, this is also my office === KIDS === 1. This is a KID encouraged event 2. If you see another KID behaving silly, please lean into your spidey sense and help parent if no parent is around. === LOST kids === are brought to Chicken COOP down at the rotunda near the entrance and RING THE BELL 4. POISON OAK is everywhere in the section between the CABIN and the BLUE house, in the upper forest it’s vacant. 5. BLUE house has First Aid KID, but also ask around for Drs, we have a few around. 1. Poison oak Technu is in cabin and blue house === LIVESTOCK === 1. I don’t need to tell you what is dangerous here 2. Don’t be stupid 3. Keep ALL GATES CLOSED === CHORES === 1. Small signup sheet for small chores near CHICKEN COOP === OUR HOME === Remember, this is our home, please be smart, don’t make me pick up your trash after my anniversary — I’l do it, but I’ll curse your name under my breath. ================ ================ === .= === EASTER EGGS = === .= ================ ================ * 250$ will be in an actual easter egg hidden. A poem which will have clues to the treasure will be posted. Every hour its not found, a subsequent clue will be released. * Whomever tells me the dirtiest sentence in Danish will get a prize, deadline is the ceremony. * Ask Natalie to Sing Opera — she’s an opera singer if you didn’t know it, you might get lucky to hear her golden voice. ================ ================ ======== .= ======== EVENTS = ======== .= ================ ================ * SAT 8AM Bo’s dirty outdoor gym will be in business, squats and all, meet there or don’t be a meat head * 9AM SAT/SUN FOREST YOGA — meet in front of the cabin garage at 10AM (still looking for yoga master — text me 707.303.6520) * SAT 11AM BO-HIKE — advanced trails, fun for kids 7+ — meet at CHICKEN COOP * SAT 1PM Slip-n-slide in BLUE HOUSE backyard (if weather permits) * 1130AM WOMENS CIRCLE BLUE HOUSE (Tentative - if Natalie wants it) * Pony RIDE (Timing TBD) — meet at stables (near chicken coop) * We will have a signup sheet for other events people might want to contribute — at the CHICKEN COOP

First of all, this is a surprise event, Nat has no idea as of February...I'll keep ya'll informed if she starts sniffing around. I wanted to curate a multi-day event, where all of our loved ones get to intermingle, share tons of laughs and make quips at the groom. We encourage people to be their best selves and fully be country with camping or being all the American you can be in our little canyon. Make sure to check out the schedule, sorry for the extreme amount of RVSP on that page, this website creator is curious. Please RSVP as soon as possible, I'm very curious to who is camping, and which meals people will attend. Since I'm not using a wedding planner, and totally `winging-it`, getting a solid RSVP is my only source of truth. NB! Any family with small children, please contact me directly 707-303-6520 as I can have an RV delivered on premises.

Towards the end of burning man, when you are really starting to lose your sense of hygiene, dust has seeped into crevices, you have this nagging cough and forget about mentioning your digestion. At this very moment, I was able to convince myself that this environment was where I wanted my life to take a new trajectory with a special person. We biked out to the temple, I had my little notebook and I wrote a note to Natalie which was vulnerable and rambling, but at the bottom, there was the golden phrase..."will you marry me if yes, meet me at the spinny thing". I folded it up, and gave it to her with the proclamation, do not open it until you are done...she was probably half way through one of her solid journal sessions, figured I'd have a good head start to find this damn spinny thing, because it was a white out, a sand storm, about 5 meters of visibility. Luckily I have a lot of lead in my nose, and found it without hassle. Climbed up and began to freak out. I believe I had a cry, followed up by an abrupt spout of convulsed laugh, then a cold calm down my back as if someone poured hot water so hot, your body is in that perfect equilibrium of sensory stimulation and your brain cannot distinguish the cold and hot signals. Natalie wrapped up her journal, read the letter, realized it was an easter egg hunt, ran out into the whiteout, the wrong way, corrected and found me sitting on top of a 4 story tall sparse metal sphere spinning around at approx. at 2 M kg m²/s, where M is the mass of the sphere She climbed up the sphere and I shivered and looked like a puppy that ate chocolate begging: "well? what is your answer?" She blindly cries out: "YES, what do you think I. was going to say?!", perhaps my memory faltered and her phrasing really had a sense of wisdom to it, but the meaning was the same. She meant, you knew we are destined to spend a lifetime together, but I also know you feel vulnerable and are sincere. Skipping ahead 10 minutes, we're now back on the salt flats and I'm prompted with a "Eh-hem?", as she indicates towards the ground in a formal gesture and a smirk. i hesitated for a moment, because obviously I hadn't proposed in the classical hollywood sense. I gawk back and my new fiancé of 1 minute and flop to my right knee to take a quick breath. Look her right in her eyes and espoused: "will you be my husband?"

He will have a 5 min announcement before the surprise event around 5PM near the CHICKEN COOP. Try to make it.
