I really wouldn't be surprised if there ends up being a huge bust sooner or later.  That would remedy the problem for a while at least.


Obviously folks have let it be known to the authorities of the problems with drugs and minors drinking and I say kudos to the police for handling the issues.  I am sure word has spread like wildfire that the 'party is over' or soon will be.  I am glad that no has had to take it upon themselves to curb the ravers/kids enthusiasm in a forceful way and everyone has stayed relatively safe.

Honestly, I credit this thread for being the catalyst for change. If not for this thread, the issues at hand would not have been brought to such light, and consequently, the TRF security folks might not have found out exactly what was going on until later.

So HUZZAH to us!

Dump a bucketful on the ravers and watch them get angry and go to complain, only to find out that when they get there, there's no evidence of wrongdoing...

After seeing some of the things done back when Excal was still around (yes I aware there is a new faire there now) Now when I go to friends camps my shoes are always off!  You can pretty much as anyone I have camped aroudn I hate shoes anyways and have a tendancy to not wear them until I am walking around.

Woah...not in our camp....ask my friend Kelly I wrote about....she's Brigadoon and her own peeps got her! All's fair at faire I suppose LOL. At least in our camp, I can't really say we are safe in the slightest by any means lol....and of course I mean that in a halfway good way muahahaha.....

Never heard of the shoe rule before....I dont go barefoot out there period...I dont know whats on the ground...and part of me doesn't want to know! EEW!

Another rule we all go by is this: NO LURKING! If you make it to Brigadoon and there's noise and merriment coming from some of the GP's...call out, come on in and hang out for a bit....don't hang outside the door peeking in. Looks like you're up to no good!  This tends to happen a lot when it's cold out and the stoves are going....hey...if you need to warm up to make it back to your own camp...come on in and warm up by the stove! That's what it's there for  ;)

Well I have a quirk that when I'm sitting I dont' like my feet to touch the floor, so typcially if I'm sitting in camp my shoes are on the ground and I'm curled in my chair. When I'm going a walk around not not typically in a camp long enough to gert settled too much..

Just because I actually wrote your name in the dictionary next to "incorrigible"... 

Dirt Fairies, huh?  Well, there's yet another good reason to have duct tape with the camping equipment.

Yes, DS, I was including this thread as 'folks' and I recall you mentioning you had a meeting scheduled to talk to someone about all of this.  ;D

I'm just happy things are settling down and people who haven't camped at TRF yet see that it is a community where concerns are heard and handled appropriately.  If anything, we are all there for merriment, friendship and I see a strong sense of community while there and it just makes me all warm and fuzzy inside and, and ....... I need a tissue now, because I'm going to start blubbering....
