Hey everyone -
To recap - Paul and Storm approached me about possibly doing a Fark cruise, like a Fark Party but on a boat. They've had some success running a cruise for Jonathan Coulton and wanted to see if we'd be up for something similar. Personally, it looks like a ton of work to me, I'd rather spend a week relaxing and having fun.
I went on JoCoCruise Crazy 3 last February and it was an absolute blast. I'm not one for cruises and I didn't expect to have as awesome of a time as I ended up having. Seriously it was awesome, my first vacation in years.
It was so much fun that I figured maybe we could get a bunch of Farkers to go on it too and have a Fark meetup within Joco's Cruise. That would certainly prevent duplication of effort, plus Joco's Cruise is already damn amazing. It'd be just as good as doing one ourselves.
So a few weeks have gone by, hopefully some folks have had time to consider going. It's still early in the registration process but if you're like me, planning to be gone for a whole week tends to require some advance planning. We had several people pull the trigger and sign up already, so it's on!
To book the event, you'll need to do it through
JoCo Cruise Crazy where you can learn all the various other details. IMPORTANT: be sure to enter "FARKATSEA" where it asks if you have any booking codes to enter.
Overall signups have been great - over 700 people went last year and they've already passed that number of signups for this year. There's a hard limit somewhere around 1000 attendees due to the size of the individual venues on the boat, so if you're at all inclined sign on up! I'd love to see you there next year.
