John's Pass festivals -- 2010 (Scurvy Awareness/JLD)

[Esperanza McDaniels]

sounds like a fine plan Hector! Everyone in their skivvies, right?   

[Esperanza McDaniels]

Let me know too.  It'd just be me, but I could try to swing it.

it might be a better (CHEAPER) idea for us if we just got the smaller suite and someone bring along an air mattress that we can just put in the middle of the living room.  Then, we're splitting $135 five ways.  Sounds better to me.  Unless there are other takers as well that want to crowd into a room.  I don't really care how many people are in the room with me, lol, the more the merrier.  as long as I have a floor to crash on, I'll be happy.  Only major problem will be bathroom schedules.

This is not conducive to my plan.  LOL

I have a queen size blow up mattress that is the higher type so pretty comfy, if we want to do the cheaper room. Bathroom schedule would be the same in the two bed, it only has one bathroom. Question is there room for the mattress? we may be moving furniture around  I know I'm just like you, Monica, I just want a place to crash!

 Schedule for this year's Festivities- May be subject to change!
Check out the winery BTW- The Pirate Grog (mead) they sell is delicious...and the orange wine makes a wicked addition to a mimosa!

Thank you so much for the the schedule! this will make planning the drop off and pick up plans for my wee ones much easier!

[MargaretheDietrich]

NP. I know either myself or Ambios if not Madge tries to post it every year to let people know what's going on or where to find people.
Even without the wee ones, feel free to check out the fight circles, brawls and cannons going off.  And check out the candy/ice cream shop Kilwin's.
And ask questions if you've never attended.
Major tips? Even if drinking stay HYDRATED. It's about 90 degrees in the shade at this one! :-p And don't forget sunblock...I got fishnet sunburn from stockings that lasted for 2 years!
It's a fun show to be at.
I'm sure that everyone can recommend good places to eat too...The Friendly Fisherman is where the bar brawl is at.
and yes, the pub crawl tickets are worth it from what I hear.

[Esperanza McDaniels]

This is not conducive to my plan.  LOL

We can always slip in a BB undetected.  If it's crowded, you'll be FORCED to share a bed.   

[calien]

For the record that  is the SQD  for last  year  but one gets the idea

[Squire Mickey]

We will be doing the official Harbinger meeting at the Scurvy Party around 4 PM.

All those interested in joining the crew should contact me ASAP with position requests and contact info.

Thanks, I mean ARGGG

[Ambrosine]

I so wish we could join in the fun on Scurvy Day  but we will see most of you the day before.
