Dear loyal members of The Picnic Club,
The weather of this weekend past has reminded us, your Founding Members, that Spring time is just around the corner and what better way to ring in the season of pasta salad, watermelon and gingham plaid than to have a picnic. Last season we were hit with an inordinate number of rainy weekends, and despite the fears of our friends at Down By The Hipster and New York Magazine, we did not, in fact, place a hex upon New York. To prove them wrong and ourselves right, keep a close eye, dear members, on this website, for the latest updates on when and where the first picnic of 2009 will be. In the meantime, stay warm, and know that soon, you will be trying to stay cool.
Fondly,
Your Hosts,
Allison and Michael, Founding Members of The Picnic Club

Rules
1. The Picnic Club picnics are open to all people. If you show up to a picnic, you become a member.
2. Picnic enthusiasts must behave in full compliance with the rules and regulations of the venue at which the picnic takes place and neither the club (nor Michael or Allison personally and individually) are liable.
3. No loud music may be played; we must never impact another picnic-goer's experience in a negative way.
4. As an extension of rule 3, no gratuitous foul language, violence or nudity (we trust your taste on this).
5 . B.Y.O.'s: A picnic blanket and a "basket" of some sort must be brought. Failure to comply with this rule will result in you sitting on the grass in the middle of a group of members, but will not actually make you part of The Picnic Club. It's like sneaking into a Yankees game -- maybe you still get to see the game, but you'll feel really guilty and on edge the whole time.
6 . The Picnic Club is meant to promote unity and friendship. In this light, feel free to share your picnic basket and blanket with other members.
7 . Though locations will vary, in case of poor weather, club gatherings will never be moved indoors. This defeats the goal of a picnic.
8. Do not leave anything behind. We must leave our picnic spaces exactly as we found them when we arrived. This ensures that future picnics will be welcomed by the parks.

What's in your basket?
Every week, we, the Founders of The Picnic Club, will tell you what is in our basket. As you will intuit from the list, the 'basket' is a flexible term which can encompass any and all things related to, inspired by, reminiscent of, or distinct from picnics. Simply put, our baskets are full of things that we think are cool.
What's in your basket? Submit your basket items to thepicnicclub@gmail.com and we will post the best responses each week.
