Opening Weekend Recap

[eloquentXI]

Hey all! Got back in to Denton just a few minutes ago and phew, what a weekend to say the least!

From the rain that started on Friday morning and didn't stop until Friday night, the beautifully cool almost chilly weather Saturday, to Martin cutting his face open on his bonfire plate thing (He's fine right now, had to go to the hospital to get stitches but came back to camp before late), to drive-by wretching that night, the Jaager Bomb Squad in full force, and then a rainy and chilly Sunday.

All in all, it was a wonderful weekend, even with it being so eventful! It was so wonderful to see who I did, and made me miss the people that weren't there even more so.

Can't wait to see everyone on All Hallows Eve!

Looks like you had a grand time! Can't wait to see you and everyone else on All Hallows!

Sounds like several good stories to be told when I finally get to sit around the fire with everyone...  Less than three weeks, now!!!  I'm soooo excited!!!

  Hello All!!  I really have to tell everyone that I am Fine!! Face is OK (Not Perfect anymore,But then I wasn't before this!! LOL!!)  and I am not in any great pain. My Thanks to each and everyone who has expressed their concerns for me and to all who took care of me at Camp! ( BIG Thank You to Rapier Half-Wit and his lovely Wife Celtic Roses! and William!!) but even this can't keep me from attending this coming Saturday!! See you all There!!!

MM, i'm glad that you are ok... Rapier & CR are good people, so you were in good hands.  I'm not going to comment about the phone call i received in the later hours of the evening, Friday night, other than it sounded like my fellow McLotofus members were having an extremely good time... and i got to play "phone ho", getting passed around the Elders Circle... LMAO!

A COOL opening weekend!!!  Oh, was it nice to wear the full garb and be comfortable, not heat-sick!  CDragonworks and I spent the weekend getting her acquainted with the notion of being able to play (she's not working at RenBoots this year).  Saw so many people that I think I must be thinner from all the hugs.  Look for my evil twin (and Lawrence's too) on third weekend.  The pirates will be dropping anchor and look forward to seeing everyone.

Will do as soon as A) I take a two hour nap after class this afternoon and B) and I can get them uploaded.  Patience, Fraser. They shall be up soon.

Thank you, MiLady... i'm just tapping my foot waiting on AHE.   

Get some rest, you had a busy weekend!

Just remember, Dear One...  Chicks dig scars!!!  Especially if there is a Tale of Great Bravery and Sacrifice to be told about the acquisition of said scar!!!  Doesn't even matter if it's true or not.  In fact, I'm guessing that with Rennie women, the more outlandish the tale (or tales...) and the more it changes with each re-telling, the more they will relish it!!!  

Can hardly wait to sit by the fire and hear the embellished version, myself!!!

I have not noticed this to be true.  Of course, maybe it is the unvarnished truth of how I got some of them..."My brother hit me with an axe, My brother kicked a brick into my head, My brother... "  I sense a pattern here.  Anyone want an older brother?  I may offer you mine cheap.

I want to thank everyone (cast and friends) who met my parents visit to fair on Saturday a great one. They had so much fun and completely approve of me going to fair as well as they would love to go again when they are back out visiting me from California. They felt everyone was so nice and open. My dad even got wenched on his bald head within the first 15 feet of him entering fair.

I had so much fun with my parents and I just want to say thank you to everyone for helping make my parents first fair visit a great one...

And, my feet HURT! ^_^ See everyone next weekend!

Martin was attacked protecting his Empress from a band of evil Ninjas....

*that's our story and we're sticking to it*

Feh, brothers have nothing on sisters.  This scar on my lip - sis pushed a hot curler into my mouth.  This one on my chin - sis knocked me down - accidentally, of course.  Martin, I'm so glad it wasn't any worse than it was.

It was a grand day at the faire!  It was so good seeing familiar faces and actually remembering some of them.  I have some pictures to download - how good they'll be is anybody's bet as it was so dark & overcast, but it was so nice not to be on the verge of a heatstroke all day.  I got a kick out of Elo standing on the pickanick table snapping pix and her skirt being held by a chivalrous gentleman so that she wouldn't topple off.

I'll be back on 10/25 & will be there with some of my fellow pirate authors on the greenway betwixt the PoW & the book store for a book signing.  Come say hello & maybe even buy a book!
