Dershstock 2004
A Decade of Dersh
Dershstock X-treme is on for an X-ceptional good time. Because we
are not expecting any births this year, we are back on schedule for
July 4th weekend. As Muenz has informed us that this year the 4th
falls on a Sunday, Dershstock-X will be July 3rd, 4th, and 5th
(Saturday through Monday). We can't wait to see you all.
Days before the end of her first year, Zara
Columbia will be joining us for her second Dershstock.
For more info about the party in general you can refer to last year's site (which was very
minimalist) or sites from prior years that contain lots of pictures and
details, and can see directions as
well. I also
shot
a cool Quicktime VR of the house
during winter.
Dershstock happens in
Phoenicia, NY and all are welcome to come party with Zara and the
rest of us. So feel free to bring friends, family or anyone else
who you think can put up with us, or who knows how to babysit.
Things to do at Dershstock:
Eat, Drink, be merry, rock climb, hike, swim, screw, play tennis, play
ultimate
(on the new field!), go antiquing, Hot Tubbin', saunaing, did we
mention
drinking, play music (or sing, or listen), play games, sit by the
bonfire,
read, hang out, meet cool people, philosophize!
Things
to bring to Dershstock:
Sleeping bag, tent (if you want to camp), bathing suit (optional), food
(bring
some stuff, and we are all pretty communal about it & there is
always
a grill on), drinks (beer, wine, great bottles of Scotch etc. ), ice,
coolers
(we always have more food than fridge space), sporting gear (hiking,
rock
climbing, tennis etc.), games, friends, musical instruments, CDs (it is
hard
to bring much music from Texas), towels, cameras, art supplies, good
weather,
philosophies!
The beds are somewhat limited
, but there is plenty of floor space 
, and more camping space outside than we can possibly fill
up.
So tents are probably a good idea. A few people have asked about
local
hotels. The closest is the rustic Ray's Cabins,
(845)-688-5410. We hope to add to this list shortly.
RSVP not required, but
appreciated.
