Far Afield! (A female field) So... a drop of phoneless fun?

Hey everybody!If this is your first time receiving this weekly Don't Bring Your Phucking Phone Phest email, it's likely the last one you'll see for a while. That's also true if this isn't your first time receiving the weekly phest email. I don't know why I specified. This is all of y'all's last email! At least - the last weekly email! In any case, the REASON for that is that, as some of you may have noticed, the weather is good. The weather is SO good, that it's possible to hang out outside and putz around without coats and boots and hats and mittens, and scarves, and so on, and so forth. So like - you should know by now that the phest is kinda like a caged up jaguar that, for the winter, has been forced into a climate controlled environment for its own protection. The Phest is a semi-tropical-kinda-south-central american beast that has a natural thirst for freedom, the outdoors, and other stuff, like water (and maybe blood,) but while it was in its nice comfy climate controlled cage it got soft. And docile. And maybe a little pudgy. We were outside in freaking NOVEMBER for goodness' sake. It's just about time we got back out there. It's what we need. It's what the Jaguar inside of us needs.As such, tomorrow (Oh shit, actually, today, technically) marks the start of the fairweather season of Don't Bring Your Phucking Phone Phest, which means we are going to be buckling down in Dougherty field, rain or shine, every single week from 5-8. That probably requires a little more exposition but I'll give you the straight details first:==============================Date: Every Thursday henceforth until contraindicatedLocation: Dougherty FieldTime: 5pm to 8PM==============================This whole email thingy started specifically because in the winter season we knew we'd be bouncing around from venue to venue. We needed to more carefully curate who was going where so we didn't just have unlimited strangers flowing into and out of the somewhat limited spaces we had available. We also needed to keep people up to date about where it was happening every week. Now that we're back to operating out of Dougherty field, that is no longer necessary, and with that freshly discarded necessity, so too goes the need for the emails.So that's basically that! After this email, things return to "normal" which is maybe kinda new for some of you, but that's how this whole thing works most of the time! We meet up, every week, same time, same place. If it rains we bring tents or umbrellas. If it's hot we bring water. If it's sunny we play tag and loaf around in hammocks. Sometimes we spontaneously conduct a mass exodus and we leave a note behind. The world is our burrito, but in like, jungle form, which might also still just be a regular burrito, but like a metaphorical burrito - one that a jaguar could eat without getting sick.Anyway, come and metaphorically eat it with us! And while you're at it, don't bring your phucking phone!
PS: If you have like, pressing questions, we'll still monitor this email occasionally, so feel free to shoot us a toot and we'll try to get back to you in like a reasonable, not-glued-to-our-phones amount of time.
