HARK, HOW IS THIS WEBSITE POSSIBLE WHEN THE INTERNET WON'T EXIST UNTIL 7 CENTURIES FROM NOW
When to get there:
You're welcome to arrive as early as 4:00pm on Friday, 11/4. This is when Drew plans to check into the bnb.
This year, we are going to soft start Friday at 9:00pm no matter what, meaning that teams can start earning points for a small number of select challenges at that time. Don't worry, we won't start any big events until everyone arrives. This allows Jessethon to start promptly without delays while also ensuring that nobody misses anything important.
Where to get:
For Airbnb info & address, check the pinned message(s) or description of the Jessethon 1325 groupme. Competitors will be added to this group once they complete registration.
Beds
The tentative sleeping arrangements can be viewed in the JTHON '25 BEDS google sheet, which you can find via the groupme. If you do not have a bed or couch reserved, you are responsible for bringing your own air mattress/sheets/pillow/hammock or whatever you'd prefer to sleep on.
What to consider bringing:
- Any shit like clothes/toiletries that you would normally need for a weekend away.
- Jacket or whatever tf you'd like for going outside if we want to do a few activities in the backyard and it might be a tad chilly this weekend! Or if we want to gather around a fire on Sat night!
- A towel, because they might not have enough for everyone.
- An air mattress etc., if you need one (see bed info above).
- Food/Drinks/Snacks for yourself (more info below).
- If you plan on doing any cooking, apparently the house is a little light on dishes/pans/utensils.
- Reuseable drink cup & water bottle to use throughout the weekend, to reduce waste.
- There is a HOT TUB, so bring your hot tub clothes if you so desire.
- YOUR MEDIEVAL COSTUME AND SHIT!!!
- Any instruments that might come in handy for a medieval jam session!
- At least one person needs to bring a cake of course, see food signup form below
- Outside/lawn/camping chairs maybe, for spectating events outside or hanging by a fire?
Food etc.
Food
Lke in previous years, you will be on your own for food, mostly. You should plan on NO food being provided/prepared for the group. Any food and snacks and drinks that you might want must be brought by YOU. OR plan on going somewhere to get it. This includes Friday dinner, Saturday breakfast/lunch/dinner, and anything on Sunday.
The simplest plan for food is probably this:
- Get your own dinner on your way to the house on Friday.
- Eat simple stuff that you brought for Saturday breafast/lunch, and Sunday if you want. (Unless people bring breakfast stuff for Sat/Sun, see below.)
- We order a bunch of pizzas or something for everyone on Satuday night, and anyone who doesn't want that can get something else or eat food that they brought. BUT remember that if you drink and stuff during competition on Saturday, driving to food store might not be an option.
FOOD ETC. COORDINATION
Like last year, I think it's nice when we coordinate food for breakfast and stuff. We also need a cake and it'd be nice to have a few supplies.
In this google sheet is everything that I think it'd be nice to have. This is pretty much the stuff that we got last year.
If you want to help out, go ahead and sign up to bring something in that sheet. You will be reimbursed afterwards (by dividing the cost among the group) if you enter the cost of what you bought. All of this is voluntary and not necessary. Also note the supplies at the bottom. That's all, thanks for helping if you do!
Drink
Drinks are also BYO. It is a good idea to come with enough drinks for yourself to last the weekend (however much that is for you).
Tentative Schedule
In this picture is the general structure for the weekend. As usual, everyone will be free to relax/hang once competition ends Sat afternoon.
Hark, a word of import! The precise hour of our endeavors may be subject to discourse, provided the majority of our valiant houses doth concur.
