Austin ARRG- July 26th

[DT_Masters]

Okay, things I am certain I can bring:

4ft heavy folding table
Big cooler with ice
Cheese for burgers

Other things I'll let you know later today (Thursday) when I check the HEB/Wally World to see what I can afford.

Is anyone bringing cutting knives/are they being provided?

Spices? Garlic powder, chili powder, paprika, cumino, cayenne, red pepper, cajun seasoning, greek seasoning? (I know some has MSG, I would have to check the labels)

I can probably clean out Wally World's supply of day old Bollo rolls (10/$1.5 each); what's the feeling on that?

I can probably provide a water cooler of gatorade/powerade (buy the powdered stuff) if needed. Anything else that you can think of that a well traveled, disorganized bachelor might have in stock, such as a hammock or a dinner fly (sure about the tarp, not so sure about the poles (have plenty of line))? I'll be coming in a Forester, so there is a little bit of room.

Paper goods are purchased and in the carriage.  Lawrence has already started working on the Scotch Eggs.

Saturday wiil be here before we know it!

[Queen Bonnie]

 Hi DT Masrers! I have knives and some spices. Lets stay away from MSG. I really am very allergic to it. The rest sounds great!
Huzzah for Scotch Eggs, and paper goods ,Var!
  Not long now! I am hard at work on this end. The house elves have put up funny signs! It seems to amuse them! LOL! I am taming the dust dragons. The Royal Felines and the Moat monster, Squelch, know something is happening and are quite excited! Squelch will be on his best behavior- not sure about the Royal Felines!

Not long at all! I made it safely to Austin yesterday morning so I shall see you all on Saturday!
If there are any last minute things needed, Queen Bonnie, Element and I will give call you on Friday night so that we can grab them on our way coming over Sat. morn!

[Queen Bonnie]

 Huzzah and thank you Eloquent and Element! See you soon!
Hugs!

[Queen Bonnie]

 HAPPY HAPPY NEWS! Scott Boswell just called! He will play for the ARRG! HUZZAH to more entertainment!

Ahh,  my dear Queen,

I just encountered your Gnomes...they were infesting my internet for a while, and I didn't know of the gathering. Just up and going again, and I may be able to get your way early on Saturday. Coming from Houston, I'll leave VERY early.

If there is a group of people that wish to ride with me, I'm capable of carrying extras in a rather large carriage that plays good music. A small contribution to the horses would be appreciated, however....they get thirsty, after all.

My carriage can carry plenty of cargo as well. If anyone has extra tables or large things needing transport, I've got plenty of room.

I have a couple of coolers, and for you, my Queen, I'll bring gifts for you personally!

If I can scratch up enough donations for my thirsty horses, and a few little green pieces of paper from work, I'll be there with kilt on!

Anybody can renn-mail me if they want to ride along!

 Huzzah! Glad you can come Dan! Kilts welcome! Huzzah!

[RenRobin]

    It's almost here!!!! 

[Queen Bonnie]

 I am busy getting all in readiness! TODAY is the time to ask questions- directions etc. I doubt I will have much time on the magick box on the morrow!  There is much to do.
Do please read the first page again before you head out! See you on the morrow! ARRG!

[Molden]

I will be casting spells in the kitchen this afternoon to have the Dragons bring forth their eggs for our enjoyment.

I can hardly wait for my mini-faire fix!!! 

[DT_Masters]

Okay.......

enough cheese (swiss, provolone, chedder) to cover 200 burgers
3.5 liters of hamburger pickles
105 various types of rolls
114 oz of ketchup
2 lbs of cheese crackers
enough gatorade for 5 gallons (may have to mix a flavor for the final gallon)
5 gallon cooler
chest cooler
heavy 4 ft table

I hope there is a water source as I am planning to move the coolers only with ice in them.

That should do it ......... elephant stew is never popular this time of year.

How to make elephant stew
Ingredients: one meduim size elephant
100 lbs of mixed vegetables
100 gallons of fresh water
2 rabbits (extra)

Take the  elephant and cut it up into bite size pieces. This should take about two months. Mix the elephant and vegetables in large vat and cook at 450 degrees for about 12 hours.

This should feed about 500 people. Two rabbits can be added if more people are expected, but this is not recommended since most people do not like to find hares in their stew.

[Queen Bonnie]

 LOL! Huzzah to dragon Eggs, Molden! I hope those dragons are prolific!
Huzzah DTMasters! Wow! Grammercy!
I have plenty of water-  This is at my home.  Worry not!
Meow Manor is OLD- hoping the plumbing holds up this year!
Glad you are NOT bringing the Elephant stew.  LOL!

My dear Queen Bonnie,

It is with the deepest regret that I must pass on the following announcement;
Lord Vandor, The Purple Dragon and his better half, the Lovely Lady Amalphia, will be unable to attend this gathering and shall be stuck in the Port of Humble due to the coffers being a bit on the low side. While we truly hoped to be able to make the trek from our home to yours, we regrettably must graciously bow out of attendance. We do hope however, that all in attendance to please give our dear Queen Bonnie much love and hugs from the two of us as we would do so if we were there.  Everyone, please drive safe to and from this wonderous (as I presume it shall be) event and have a most enjoyable time.

[Queen Bonnie]

 We are sad you can't make it, but sure understand!  Hugs to both of you from me!  See you at TRF!
