Fancy dancing in the woods?

Felix Spohn私たちは4月24日に山で楽しいパーティをする。キャンプサイトのリオープンの1週間前でバーベキューパーティと榛名山の森のなかで焚き火をする。誰でも楽しむために参加可能で勿論無料!その日は初めから終わりまで私たちを動かすのはテクノビートで道に迷ったトナカイがカモシカに変わるかも。飲み物とお肉は持参してね。お気に入りの温かい山用のパーティドレスを着てね。不景気が私たちを蝕んでるから普通電車に乗るのがいいと思う。高崎駅からは土曜の正午にシャトルを手配する予定。同時にお祝いしたいのがフェリックスの2歳の誕生日。2歳のフェリックス(新しい写真のリンク)がラストイヤーズスタイル(古い写真のリンク)の続き。無料のバンガローを用意しているので寝袋、ブランケット、タオル、ハブラシを持ってきてね。トイレと温かいシャワーは自由に使えるよ。4月24日、正午12時高崎駅西口ローソン前で会いましょう。赤羽駅から湘南新宿線10時28分の電車に乗ると11時56分に高崎駅に着く。Facebookに折り返しメッセージを下さい。集合の指示に迷ったら080-5188-8005に電話して。駐車場も広いので週末高速1000円を利用してくるのも良いかも。日曜日のブランチはスープとパンの食事を出す予定。安全に家にたどり着くようアスピリンと循環の良くなる小さいグラスの赤ワインも用意しておきます。高崎から15時17分発赤羽方面行きには乗って帰ってね。

We've a good reason to party in the mountains this April 24.  One week prior to the grand reopening of the campsite, we're throwing a BBQ party with and bonfire in the woods of Mt. Haruna.  Everyone is welcome to join the fun, for free of course.  And to keep us moving throughout the day, fine techno beats are surely turning the local kamoshika into a lost reindeer.  Bring your own drinks and meat.  Dress in your favorite warm mountain party dress.  The recession is biting us all, so we assume you'll take the local train up to Takasaki station from were we will arrange for a shuttle at high noon that Saturday.  The celebration coincides also with the birth of Felix two years ago.  Two-Year-Felix if we follow last year's style.  Free accommodation for all provided, though please bring your own sleeping bag/blanket, towel, and toothbrush with you.  Restrooms and hot showers are at your disposal.  See you at Takasaki station on April 24 at 12:00 PM outside West Exit in front of Lawson.  Take the 10:28-train (Shonan-Shinjuku line) from Akabane to arrive at 11:56 AM.  Please RSVP through Facebook if you can.  Lost sheep may call 080-5188-8005 for gathering instructions.  Tons of parking available 120 meters from the venue for those of you taking advantage of the 1,000-Yen weekend toll-fee deal.  Soup with Baguette is served for brunch the next day (Sunday), along with an Aspirin and small glass of red wine to power up the circulatory system for a safe journey home.  Expect to take the 15:17-train from Takasaki bound for Akabane.
