SANE Details

The where of the meeting is still in flux, but the what of the meeting is duck/ductape slippers.

Duckmaster Betsey sends the following cryptic comments:

To bring:
Scissors
embellishments
A tracing of both feet (onto card stock then cut out. you can also add thin foam cut out to your foot shape if you want cushy slippers)
A sock stuff with something to imitate foot shape so that you can
build height of slipper with the duct tape
If you have interesting duct tape.
Otherwise I will bring some.

Google duct tape slippers to see the various methods.
Duckily,
Betsey

For those who may not be able to folllow the above, I'll translate:

Bring Sharp Objects, especially those encrusted with jewels. Or extra toes or buckles.
Bring your feet, or some cardboard cut the same shape as their bottoms. One at a time. If your feet are the same size, just make one and turn it over when required. Unless this will be the sole of the shoes, in which case two would be better in order to, like, walk.
To walk on clouds (if you don't want to stand on your hands and stretch way up), cut pieces of foam (or carpet, or Dr. Scholl's Gels, or lambs' wool, or pillows, or actual clouds) the same shape as your foot bottoms, or slightly smaller.
Make turkey stuffing and fill a sock with same, and mold it into the shape of your foot. No onions, that would be stinky. [If you had old shoes, you could mold them inside your shoes, then cut away the shoe part to remove the stuffed sock without distorting its shape - I added that part].
If the duck/duct tape you have in your closet, basement, wine cellar, duck pond or jewelry drawers is of sufficiently high quality (argyle, bejeweled, silken, yak-hair covered, etc.), bring it along to tantalize us and make us jealous.
Betsey will bring normal run-of-the-mill ducks and tapes.
Somebody called Google Duck made a tape of slippers, in an effort to visualize different types of same. If only we could find Google Duck and get his tape, we could get a better idea of what we're doing. Oh well.
Ductily,
Rebetsey of DuckyBrook Farm
