HUUUZZZAAAHHHH!!!

My one wish came true for the year.  We found an awesome 4 season tent that is 9'L X 9'W and 6'6" in height.  I will have more than enough room for everything and then some!

Now I must come up with a new wish for this year....Hey!  Fest hasn't started yet, and I've 3 weeks to go.

I want:

1) Panther Primitives pavilion tent in Dragonspyre colors (black, purple, and silver)
2) an upright giant heater like they had at TRF's coffee shop over Closing weekend

Oh...I just thought of something else I dream of.  A strong, hansome man to unload and set everything up for me and both pack and unpack my car.  Especially since I have 2 days until I leave for Pennsic alone, again.  *sigh*

Having done a study of various pavilion designs over the years, I have come to the conclusion that there are ways to have all the modern conveniences without having the modern junk to go with them.

First of all, please remember, hot air rises, and air in and of itself is a good insulator..... So, if one were to set up a pavilion similar in design to some of the roman gear (smart people them there romans) with an outer wall of a bleached canvas, then an inner wall four inches inside that, same with the roofs, the hot are will be partially insulated, and with vents in the top, the hot air will exit the tent out of the top, just like a chimney. 

Now, of course, having 25 slave wenches to make sure the air circulates by moving large fans, dancing etc would help keep the tent cooler.....

Next I think a large fire with a steer roasting on a spit and at least two barrels of wine and a couple of mead so that passers by may partake of the offerings of my camp.

Then, a bladesmith and blacksmith  in order to keep the mundane items in repair, shoes for the horses, armor, swords, daggers.

Finally a fletcher in order that a good supply of arrows and bows are available in case any unwanted interlopers try to interfere with the gathering.  You know the ones I mean, Politicians, Lawyers.........

Hey - I resemble that remark!

I'd have a diaphanous veil as a tent - like a parachute, decorated like the inside of a Turkish castle - ala Salahadein.

Speaking of which - does anyone know how the campsite fared in the storm? Trees make it?

Well if you go to Pennisc this year, I'll be a friend.   8)
I was in your shoes last year as it was my first and I knew no one in my camp.  Now I have a group of piratey libertines that I associate with.
