Potluck at the Castle - A Fund Raiser for Loveland Castle

[CapnFayeCutler]

Since I've slept in the castle during the freezing cold (and survived!) I'm definitely bringing my cot w/the air mattress, my arctic sleeping bag lol, my super awesome flannel blanket (kept me warm at TRF - and it was fricking cold that weekend!), probably some more blankets.... and a plug in heater. What can I say, I'm a wuss once I get cold.  Hmmm...wonder if I can swing borrowing my mom's electric heat suit. Mwuahahahaha! Who knows we may throw a tent in, too. I dunno...my bro's first time at the castle. Too much to do!

Oh yeah and my brother told me today that he definitely got this weekend off so we're heading up on Friday. LUCY GET READY!

I managed to get Saturday off work, so I'll be there earlier then planned!  Yay!

[Maeve McMayhem]

Just a few more days... 

Two questions!


1. Who all is planning to garb up and get use out of their beautiful cloaks that otherwise don't get past the closet due to most faires being in the hot summer?

2. How warm would a tent actually be? We were considering bringing a tent and leaving floor space to others.. but we reaaally don't want to freeze.. I just wonder if any of you have had experience tenting there in the winter temps?


Thanks! Can't wait to see everyone Saturday!

dearest Maeve, #1- me Belle and me do not know anything about anything else but "Garb", and we shall be bring'n our cloaks me Belle made just for "Castleteer Gather'ns", (we call our cold weather garb- "Castle Garb", which we did wear to OhRF at close'n weekend.)
             Remember; "Castleteers are like onions, they have layers."

#2- we have set a tent, in the gardens, dur'n cold weather. FYI- there are electrical plugs in the gardens. me Belle and me just brought a electric blanket, and we were nice and toasty'. what we plan to do this time is drive the van again and sleep in it (with an electric blanket).

there thee are dear one, that's how we handle old man winter at "Gather'ns".
Ohh, count'n down time ***
i be the Old Tinker and his Belle...

Since I shall return home late Saturday evening, to most likely find myself sitting around my own firepit...ale in hand...yet not in the company of the Castleteers...I, too, will hold my mug high and return the aforementioned toast. Cheers!

Oh, me's will help drink SNS's share, whom will help out the others (in spirit of course)  .

[Angus]

"...whom will help out the others (in spirit of course)"

Master Tinker, I will step up, and assist you with this burden, with "Spirits" of course. Far be it that you must be troubled with this task alone.

[Old Tinker]

Ah, brother Angus, thee be a brave man, it may be a hard undertaker. but with a little help from our friends, we shall prevail.
