Question
How should I prepare for the weather?
Answer
Okay, the official weather forecast is 50-60 degrees and raining. Yippee! Welcome to Autumn! It may have been a while, but you know what to do. Rain jackets, windbreakers, boots, layers, layers, layers. We'll be able to do laundry, but it's one house and there will be like, 12 of us. So try to bring extras of socks and underwear in case you get soaked while we're out and about, because rain or shine, we'll be out and about! If you plan to hike, I recommend boots!! Hiking shoes will do just fine, but boots might provide a bit more water-proofing and mud-proofing than shoes. Something with good grip and traction. Bring cute stuff if you like to dress cute. People have been asking me if we're *going out* and truth is, it'll be vibe-dependent. Bring what you need to feel prepared for anything! Anchorage is a casual place, so whatever you have will be appropriate.
Question
I have dietary restrictions. How will that effect group things?
Answer
The only super duper planned meal at a restaurant will be on Friday morning (11am) at South Restaurant. They have vegan and gluten free options. For food cooked at home, you can feel free to get your own stuff, but to save costs, I recommend our shared groceries include some things that are vegan and gluten-free-friendly. For the seafood bbq, I will make sure we've got some delicious options and can cook some things in the oven if sharing a grill with seafood/butter is icky for you. On that note, if you have any specific allergies or restrictions you want me to keep in mind when shopping for the bbq party, please let me know in advance!

Answer
There will be a dog in this house. If you have allergies, bring them meds! Bring whatever things you want to have fun with! Someone is bringing a switch, I have ideas for games, but if there are things you want to bring to help entertain yourself and/or others, by all means! We will have access to a guitar and possibly other instruments while there, fyi.
