HUZZAH !

[Hibernian]

Quick question...where does one fly into to get to this place?

Quick answer: Charlotte, North Carolina.

All major carriers but we are US Airways primary hub. Southwest goes into Raleigh which is about 2 hours away, but we do get Air Tran and i understand the two are merging, not sre when and if that helps any.

If my dad... Lady Kett & Sidekick and the Baron are all going... count the Merlin Clan in. At least 3 of us.... the oldest food eater may have class. (insert joke here)

Wild jousters could not keep us away!

[Lady Kett]

Oh bummer,that could possibly be our closing weekend! We will just have to wait and see. 

Ooooo, considering we will be coming from TX this makes me wonder if I couldn't combine some vacations and get back to MDRF one weekend and Rendezvous in the next. Only problem is it's in the middle of my busy season. I shall have to work to get my minions up to speed to see if they can live without me. It's a nice dream, regardless LOL!

I am so unmotivated for work today and would much rather plan my 2012 faire season plans. 

[Lady Mikayla of Phoenicia]

For some reason messages is not letting me type responses... weird.  Anyway, tentative plans are meet and greet Friday night at the Galway Hooker in Cornelius between exits 25 - 28 off I-77.  Saturday night dinner will be disclosed at a later date but will be in the same general area.  Hotel arrangements are currently being looked at as well. 

I realize the date may interfere with plans at other locals however the first 2 weekends were out for various reasons including NASCAR.  The 5th - 7th weekends of CRF I am not always available.  The 3rd and 5th weekend CRF uses an area of the shire for theme specific weekends.  I am eyeing this area for our group picture as well as Musical Men!

So that left us with the 4th weekend All Hallow's Eve! 

We look forward to welcoming those who can attend... bring your Festival spirit and have fun!!!

Would love to make it but I'm Clan McShuggenah's camp cook for AHE. The Merlins & Lady Kett will have to represent Texas...

As long as you lay in enough Guinness, the rest is a piece of cake!

How many kegs were gone through and in what length of time?

Love it Wenchie! 

[Welsh Wench]

From what I heard, the weekend we had Rendezvous in TN set a record in beer sales at faire.

Not to mention the infamous Guinness kegs at Bluesboro. 

[Nailin]

Thrilled that my new home faire got Rendezvous!! I'm so excited; this is going to be awesome!! Is too early to nominate the Galway Hooker?

[Merlin the Elder]

We're going to have hookers!??!

[Lady Mikayla of Phoenicia]

Galway Hooker is a pub named for an Irish ship.  All the pub's building materials were brought over from Ireland!  It's first year ALL the staff that worked it were here on work visas from Ireland.  Maureen, the head barkeep herself is from Ireland.  http://www.galwayhookerpub.com/ 

Yes Nailin, we will most certainly have one night at GH!   

I'm sure neither Faire nor the Galway Hooker would mind setting a record for beer sales!
