Memorial information for Matt

[prismakaos]

I don't want to lock this to SGS because I know some people don't have LJ accounts, but if you didn't know Matt Brown, this is going to be entirely irrelevant to you.

Most of you who read this have seen this, but if not, here's the word on the official memorial happening on Monday:

Matt Brown's memorial will be held on Monday, 3/29.

Time:
4:30 - 7:00: viewing
7:00: service

Location:
Spangler Mortuary in Sunnyvale.
174 N. Sunnyvale Ave
408-736-6294

"We want this to be for his friends." -- Matt's family has expressed a desire for a sincere, informal service representative of his personality and tastes.

Therefore, come in whatever you want-- jeans, suit, costume...because Matt was not religious, there will be a Game Master rather than religious official presiding. If you have any suggestions for things to include in celebration of who Matt was (such as music, decorations, etc) please send them to J at jineris@gmail.com and we will coordinate.

Speaking -- Anyone is welcome to speak. If you would like to speak, please email J at jineris[AT]gmail[DOT]com by Sunday night at midnight.

---------------
Additionally, SGS/Stanfordfolken* will be having our own memorial on Saturday, April 10th as a lot of people are unable to make Monday. I'm trying to get Lag Lounge, and I will seriously bust heads to do so. ("Dear sir, we will be taking over Lag whether you like it or not, as I have a number of Stanford alumni who are armed with swords. Yes, swords. Captain Planet may also be making an appearance, so it's probably in your best interest to let me reserve the room without a fight.")

If you would like to provide food/drink/decor/events/etc., please let me know, either here or via email (prismakaos[AT]gmail[DOT]com).

*SGS/Stanfordfolken doesn't mean exclusive to those groups, just that there will be a preponderance of gamers/Stanford/Sav people invited.

Do you have a likely time yet for the thing on the 10th? Mark and I can't come for long tomorrow because of Passover, so we'd really like to be there, (assuming not-entirely-Stanford-people are welcome) and we're probably going to have to do some significant rescheduling to manage it.

Also, we'd be happy to help with food/drink/decor/whatever is needed. Food is probably best-- Mark is an awesome baker.

It'll be in the evening; I'm thinking around 7.

And you and Mark are *definitely* welcome -- I was just trying to make it clear that the event isn't the same as family thing on Monday and will consist generally of the Stanford/gamer/Sav folks.

If you/Mark would like to bake something, that would be fine, just let me know what and how many it'll serve...

We were thinking we'd make chocolate-chocolate-chip cookies, and we can make as many as needed. If necessary, we can make more things as well. (I'm a Jewish woman...in times of crisis, cooking is kinda what we do. I suspect this isn't Jew-specific, though.)

I volunteer to hit any stubborn Laguanita people with my Black Solstice sword if they refuse. It's still stained with the blood of many Orcs.
