Octo gathering

[CapnFayeCutler]

then Sir I must be swift and early....

hehe Carl & Donna better be paying attention... They like that room too!

[WindChime]

I can't wait to see everyone. I get to come and play. Dr added 6 more weeks to my medical leave from work. So we can actually be there when most start showing up.

[Elizabeth Talbot, Countess of Shrewsbury]

Yay! I'm extra excited now! I'll be there Saturday night, and with my Doug! We have to leave that evening but at least I actually get to see people!

[Elizabeth Talbot, Countess of Shrewsbury]

Many of us will be leaving Saturday night, and staying at the Comfort Inn on Fields-Ertel Rd. Just remember, Sir Fred has promised to kick anyone's arse who tries to leave drunk and drive.

Oh, I was being quite serious about it actually. We have to drive back to Kentucky that night. 

[Sir William Marcus]

One may want to include us. We are trying to work out the necessary arrangements to attend

I will bring hot cocoa and tea.  There's outlets right?  I have a pitcher that heats up (even boils) water.

dearest Bugsey, yes there are many outlets around the "Castle", but it may be a good idea to bring an extension cord. 

my, my, look now all, we be only eight days out from our "Gather'n". 
Mmm, Mmm, me's can almost smell all the good food stuffs for the feast. 
me Belle and me have been practice'n given HUGs to be's in shape for next weekends,(to tell the true, me Belle and me practice quite a bit    ).
just one cooler me Belle ? , okay then it shall be two. 
weather ?, well now a real "Castleteer" does not bother with concerns of the weather, tis no matter whether rain or shine..   well for that matter, it has snow'd, rain'd, sleet'd and heavey fog for past "Gather'ns. 
see all soon now, 
i be the old Tinker and his Belle...

[humphrey]

hey all, i got news, that you will hear more about next week, but here is a little primer.

symmes township just now shut down our haunted tours.  they called it a "festival" and sited that we can not do festivals. they sent the health dept, the fire marshal, the building inspectors.....even the sewage dept down this morning to inspect everything. now of course they found no violations of any kind, but because one of our knights posted an ad in the paper calling it a "haunted house" instead of a "haunted tour" the township shut us down. i am sure most of you have heard how the township says we have to have a sprinkler system to have a haunted house. lololol yup, we really need a sprinkler system.  i keep telling people that if the castle catches fire we are all dead anyway. think about it, the surface of the earth will have to reach 7000 degrees for that rock to catch fire, if it does a sprinkler wont save any one lololol   oh well.   how this affects us is simple, the castle is out its biggest fund raiser and i have to run down to the castle to fill out a couple contracts for the castleteers, to make it legally a private party and out of the townships jurisdiction.

THAT, officially, Sucks. (Note the capital S)

[Paul Blackpowder]

To any of the Castleteers or your friends who live in Symmes Township; go to the board meetings and ask what their problem is ith the castle. They are definetely anti castle, and we the people need to know exactly why. I bet they don't hit schools or anyone else this way. If you vote in Symmes Township, vote them OUT!!!!!!

[Sir Samuel]

The only thing I officially know, is the Symmes Twp. people need to know and understand the greed and selfishness the twp. has for its officers. They are nothing more than a few MONEY HUNGRY politicians looking to gain some financial reward by trying (tho how feeble the attempt) to shut down and or steal illegally of course our wonderous castle which Harry Built for us Knights to use as a centeral base for an organization to teach others what he has taught so many of us already. That through steady hard labor and trust in God,  you can gain the worlds respect.

[Peter Beer Slayer]

To the list add myself (if I am not already on the list) and two others new to the castle. 
Amber Foster and Stephanie Cote are driving from Atlanta and will be arriving Saturday Morning. They have played with us at KYHRF and are all around excellent people. 

[CapnFayeCutler]

That's great! It'll be wonderful to see Stephanie and Amber again!

[Maeve McMayhem]

We're considering a hotel room for Saturday night..just for a soft place and the castle is gonna be packed! Who knows.. we won't know anything for sure til we get there! Haha! We are all so very excited!
