One of the segments of one tent pole is shattered. I have it wrapped with duct tape atm (just for the next few hours while the waterproofing spray dries and the tent aerates) but I don't think that is gonna hold :p Argh! I don't know where I can get new ones, but I'm looking in to it now.... However I need it by Sunday and have no car :p Also, the screen has holes in it (also patched with duct tape - there really isn't anything it can't do).

How did this even happen! It was fine when I put it away, like, um.... 4-5 years ago? -_-

Looking at stuff on Amazon but how do I know if it will fit? D:

Argh!

ETA: The Plan:

1:47 - bus in to campus
2:00 - bus to the mall
2:10-3:10 - Academy sports, crossing my fingers, also, travel
3:10 - the Hulk
catch 5:40 or 6:10 bus back the HEB
walk home from there, hopefully after getting some tent parts and seeing a good flick
Walk Jola late, take down tent after experimenting with poles
location: home - red room
Mood:: 'aggravated' aggravated

how long do you have to live in this tent?

2 weeks, I think?

you have a fair chance I'd say, as long as you can rig up some kind of tent pole :P

Not sure if this would get to you in time (http://www.ourcampsite.com/14100.html), but maybe somewhere local has something similar?

That is similar to what I am looking at on amazon, but I worry the poles will be too long. Also, I could order it from them but the product is $6 and to make sure it arrived on time wuld be $22!

I have concocted a convoluted plan to go to the sporting goods store here, and see what they can do for me. And then go see The Hulk

Semi-unrelated, but I just got a notice that my dress has shipped. I assume someone is dealing with your mail while you're away? It may require picking up at the post office, I'm guessing your mailbox isn't big enough to hold it.

Yeah, I will get them to leave packages at the office. it should not be a problem.
