2013 Kansas City RenDezVous!

[Butch]

Iain Robb:  fixed it, thank-you!

Marietta Graziella:  got you and the Vexed Viscount down as MG and VV.  Thank-you!

Regarding the white elephant gift exchange:  Good idea!  Some others had mentioned it as well.  I will post something about it soon, so people can start finding a gift to bring along and exchange!

[Lady Spicer]

Put Lord Spicer and I down!  So glad its a close drive and not during our festival

Yay!!!

[Smudgedog]

Put Genievea and myself down, WOOO!.. Love this faire!

[Norfolk]

Sorry for the delay in responding, Butch.  I've been having a spot of bother with my password, which required the intervention of DB to rectify.

The Duchess and I will definitely be there all three days, barring unforeseen crises in the interim.

[Butch]

Norfolk, I have added you and your lovely wife!  I look forward to seeing you both!

[Ms Trish]

Is your Royal Pub Crawl any good? Would they do a private group (assuming we have enough interest)?

[Gauwyn of Bracknell]

I didn't even know they had a pub crawl

[Lady Renee Buchanan]

It is looking more likely that due to the Columbus holiday weekend, and Galena being a tourist town, my friends will have to work that weekend.  So we are looking at an earlier weekend.

Back to the hotel question.   Are those prices special just for RenDezvous, and do they include 1 ticket for faire?  Do you know if they have this special at other times?

Thank you.

Showed up on my FB feed this morning. I have KCRF liked in case they post any good info to have about the faire.

I will probably find out Butch and I have done it 

[William of Ware]

Is anyone going to stay a couple days after faire and explore (site see)? 
I'm trying to decide if want stay one or two extra days after .
Not sure if I want to get a rental car or try and  grab a shuttle / taxi from the airport to the hotel.
Trying to figure how many days I'll be at the hotel..... and book the airline tickets.

Ah, sorry I misunderstood you earlier!  Those prices quoted in the other thread were worked out for our RenDezVous!  The normal prices are a bit more, but yes, they do include KCRF tix.  Give them a call!

Ms Trish and Gauwyn:  the pub crawl was just started last year at KC.  I can certainly get with Akbar and the KCRF mgmt to see if they'll do one specifically for us!  Last year, it included 3 pubs with a drink at each one.  It was different than the MNRF Pub Crawl in that there wasn't much outside entertainment.  I think they will be changing it up this year.  Is this something we would be interested in, going on a guided "official" pub crawl as a group?  Oh, and Gauwyn, the pub crawls we went on were self-inflicted!

IF you plan on site-seeing, you will want to rent a car.  KC is pretty spread out, and the faire site is a ways from downtown KC, and a ways from the airport.  I'm certain you could get back and forth btwn the airport and the hotel, and back and forth btwn the hotel and the faire/events without a car; but much more than that, and you'll need some sort of transportation.

KCRF is about 15-20 mins from downtown. I make that drive every weekend, and it isn't bad at all. We don't have much public transportation though as Butch mentioned, but a taxi might be feasible.

The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art down town is free and a must see attraction.  National WW1 museum, Union Station, Power and Light district and the Plaza shopping area are also fun things to see around the city. Those attractions I named are all within 8 mins of each other driving, and a taxi is definitely around that area.

Teach me to not pay attention in the off season for Colorado.  We missed last year at KCRF due to some family issues.  We are defininitely planning to come this year and I think our dates are now decided.  So, the two of us for sure.  I'll try to twist the son (aka "The Fool") and DIL's tails into coming, too.

Look forward to seeing you again, Merlin!
