Woohoo!! 4th of July!

[beeboy]

its first time for Erynn and me too.  What time do gates open?

[Rage]

...lol... don't know. I think I will be looking at their website tonight.

Oh and this is us:



I will be a pirate but LD might be in her other garb.

[beeboy]

thats me, minus the banner and bee wings

[Erynn]

Sam will be checking in on rates for me tomorrow, but I'll probably be staying in Milwaukee. The hotels she gets her discount in closer to faire are full. Too bad she's not coming. I could get a room for $50 a night! If I can get a good discount on a room, I'll be there Sat and Sun, otherwise it'll just be Sat.

And I have no clue what garb I'll be wearing yet.

Oh, and hours are 10 to 7.

[beeboy]

so we meet up at lik 9 or 9:30

Erynn, we gonna have fun at Bristol! We'll meet up somewhere.. All I know is that I have to see Moonie first show in the morning. So what time are you planning on being in the vicinity of Bristol, if you know?

[Lady Renee Buchanan]

A few years ago we got a great price on Priceline, like $30 or $35.  And the hotel was La Quinta, which was really nice.  Milwaukee is kind of far.  Even Racine would be closer.  We will look forward to seeing you there.  As the date gets closer, I'll set up the meet and greet for all interested.

[Erynn]

LD, I will hopefully know a bit more tomorrow after Sam checks at work. Its about a 5 hour drive to Bristol so I'll probably try to get to the hotel early evening. Will we have more water fights in the parking lot and mead licking? Hehe.

Renee, I checked Priceline, but the cheapest I can get close by is $69 for a 1 star that doesn't look that great. (I'm kind of scarred. I stayed at the Canterbury Inn during RenDezvous last year and found a roach in my room) Sam works for Holiday Inn so I can get a cheaper rate. Or I should be able to. I'll know more tomorrow.

Erynn, there is an American inn over in Belle Plaine (Where LD & I currently live) http://www.exploreminnesota.com/listing.aspx?EntityID=2899

Its fairly close to MNRF and its only a couple years old. Just a thought if you stay up this year.

So jumping to the other part of the post.....Mead Licking??? I never heard about that....lol...

[Erynn]

Thanks for the link Rage. I'll check it out. Sam and I stayed in the AmericInn right across from the Canterbury Inn and it was really nice.

As for the mead licking... LD might be able to explain 

[Rage]

hehehe... I have seen that pic.

[Erynn]

Room is booked. And since Sam won't be there (unless she miraculously gets the weekend off without asking) I'll either be:

Pirate Ricki


Or wearing my Moresca:


Haven't decided yet.

[skrid the brown]

Look for Lady and sarah to be there as well.  Look forward to meeting everyone!!!

[Apropos]

Bristol is my home faire so if there are any questions one needs answered, I will try my best to answer them.

Front gate opens at 10:00 am but the gate to faire opens around 9ish...depending on the mood of the gatekeeper.  It costs three dollars to park in the closest parking lot but there is a free parking lot a bit further away.
