I know it's early, but I'm determined to return to TNRF. Seems to me we just need to keep invading! So, who's with me? 8)
Brilliant name!
Brilliant!
Did I mention... Brilliant?
Wait until the 6th Invasion... :o :o :o :o :o
Hmmmm, I like it when a plan is initiated well in advance! We will do our best to crash the party yet again!
Count, I agree about the name, but I do believe that's Wenchie's doing. So...the blonde gets credit. :)
Nickie! LOL ;D
Now, the most pressing matter concerning next year's gathering: What shall I wear? :D
Me! Me! I want a do over! Count me in, too! :D
Well, there were some useful things learned in the Scouts
one of them was to be prepared... and you guys have that one covered...
how many names do you have in advance?
Well, if I can properly poison my husband, then count me in!!!
Would I be on the invited list??
Always, LJ.
Count me in unless I end up in PA that weekend. Annia graduates next year! My baby isn't a baby anymore. :'(
I wont be making it to TN in '09, I need to spread my faire wings out more so next years funds will have to be spent elsewhere. I'll miss you all there though and hope to see you at other faires throughout the year!
I'll be there. Lady Nicolette we need to remember to get the potter started early this year.
-shrug-
Too far again. We most likely won't be there.
You guys have fun.
"Once more into the..." What do you mean wrong show, oh well, guess I'll just say we'll be there in 2009!
Leinad's in the process of changing jobs so it will depend on vacation schedules. Depending on how it works out, the possibilities are endless.
count me Belle and me to attend,
it is kinda like Ruffles,
you just can't do just one or two,
i be the Old Tinker and his Belle...
Ordinarily I'd say it depends on who's wearing the ruffles. :D
Let me be the first to say it: ARE WE THERE YET?
Has someone calculated the number of days yet?
Are we there yet?
We had the greatest time at Rendezvous/Menage Ette Trois this year. My job was nice enough to bend the rules to let me take the day before and day after a holiday off (a no-no). Whether they will allow it next year will be a determining factor if we can attend.
But we sure want to!
I had to miss this past year; first time since I started faire way back when.
Did anyone know I wasn't there?
*joking; or am I? :P
I know, show up next year, or you shall have me dragged, or horse whipped; which ever comes first.
I can't believe it's been so long already...
someone please remind me of everyone I met and caroused with... the days are getting fuzzy
could have something to do with the alcohol
not sure on that...
I wonder if it's too soon to start an invasion list for next May? :D
"QUART",,, Love it :D
We eating at Chef Wangs again? Just asking because:...

Raid nets 50 suspected illegal immigrants
Three restaurants targeted by feds
By MARK BELL • Gannett Tennessee • June 19, 2008
Federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents raided at least three businesses owned by restaurant entrepreneur Stanley Wang on Tuesday, including The New Famous Chinese Restaurant in Nashville, Chef Wang's in Murfreesboro and the Famous Chinese Restaurant in Smyrna.
About 50 suspected illegal immigrants were identified and detained during the sweep, Nashville-based Assistant United States Attorney Lee Deneke said in a statement issued Wednesday. Those detained were citizens of Mexico, the People's Republic of China, El Salvador, Guatemala, Malaysia and Indonesia.
Wang could not be reached for comment at his home.
Milissa Reierson, a spokeswoman for the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development, her department participated in the effort.
Some suspects picked up Tuesday could face federal court prosecution for any law violations not related to immigration.
The rest will go to immigration court and possibly be deported.
Federal agents, along with the Murfreesboro Police Department, also conducted an investigation at an East Clark Boulevard home in relation to the raids.
The Middle Tennessee sweep comes two months after a federal grand jury indictment aimed at Chinese restaurateurs ac cused of in ducing illegal immigrants to stay in the U.S. by providing them jobs, according to a news release on the ICE Web site.
Several employment agency owners from Georgia named in the indictments allegedly conspired with others to transport and provide jobs to immigrants who were illegally in the country from October 2006 through April.
Chef Wang's owner Stanley Wang and his wife, Margarat, moved to the Murfreesboro area approximately 10 years ago from New York City.
Wow!
I know someone they can hire for their Maitre d'.... ;D
Fifty! when news first broke all they said was 12 at Chef Wangs and some at the Apts nearby. That was tues and this article did't get published till thursday.
http://www.tennessean.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080619/NEWS03/806190371/1017/NEWS01
amazing!
what kind of penalties does TN impose for this?
Good question. I'm thinking this falls under federal jurisdition though.
Kinda scary, considering we were all there, too...
What's so scary? It's not like they were 50 serial killers or 50 'black widows' with a thing for poisoning the egg rolls. :D
Actually, I would say they were the ones scared...
I'm sure we got great food and service specifically for that reason!

Can you imagine if they had sent Laird in there with the Dept of Immigration?
YOW! ;D
OH yeah!!!! :-[
That would have been a site to behold!
I can see it now....
Laird standing there, mug in hand (because he never puts it down) wearing his 'GOT ****?' shirt and putting up his hand and yelling, 'HEY! We got six for a paddy wagon over here!' :o
Paddy Wagon? He'd have them bring a Semi.
"Yah....back it up over here fellas. We've got 50 for the Airport."
And for every ten, you get eggroll. ;D
You people.......
*rubs her eyes in exhaustion*
You just DRAIN me :-*

LOL not what I meant, Wenchie
If INS had come in, we'd all have been deported
some of us to England, some to Scotland, some to Ireland, some to Spain... some to Italy...
and I'm sure they'd have tried to see if immigration from a different century was also illegal and if we could, indeed, be deported back in time...

Well, I don't know about you but I was in mundanes and looked as American as apple pie and baseball!
I really think the INS has better things to do than to see if we were in garb or not. ;)
Don't know about you but sometimes I like to put Wenchie aside, kick off my shoes and be ME.

Amen to that! Mad Jack may be a somewhat amplified version of me, but it's SO nice after a long day of antics to trade the bucket boots for sneakers and chill out. And last I checked, INS agents aren't issued brown shirts.
Returning to the topic at hand:
Are we there yet?!
Indeed!
A month has passed since Rendezvous....where has the time gone???

Come to think of it, I was in 'danes there, too
whew
yeah... I know some folks who can't separate the persona from the person.
I thank God every day that I'm not one of them
Are we there yet?
Just 10 more months....
First Chef Wang's then Bluesboro...I'm just sayin' ::)
Umm yeah and we are talking Memorial Day Weekend right?
Yep the Ette's & Teers arrive memorial day weekend.
This year we may just have to go to
Chef Blues and Wangsboro.......
Thanks RFP.
Chef Wangs is opened again. They were just closed for a short time.
The new Embassy Suites opened this week. It's one exit up from faire and near the interstate,

http://www.embassysuitesmurfreesboro.com/amenities.aspx
It's of exit 76 the fairs off exit 78.
I agree...we should move ette central.
Moving Ette Central gets my vote too.
*indoor HEATED pool just swayed me*
And from the looks of it, the rooms aren't the size of a jail cell. Not that I'd know anything about the size of a jail cell ;D. Although I do find the effect of an outdoor unheated pool rather captivating ;).

Why does a certain Seinfeld episode come to mind? :o
It does cut both ways, doesn't it? :o
It''ll be easier to get to the hotel. Currently it's has it's own street. The mall's a couple lights past it. And there's more parking.
Indoor pool is nice. But can imagine the looks when everyone comes down for the breakfast on Saturday morning in garb?
We were at some fancy hotel mutil floor hotel. We came out in our garb. We asked if we were going to the music fest. Had no idea what they were talking about till I saw a news report later. They saw the funny clothes and thought we were going to Lolapalooza.
Well as I do every year, I will put it on the calendar and wait to see what happens. We have the Packard nationals at Branson Mo. the following month, so it may take some doing but I would like to get my liege man and his wife to come up with us to view our old habitat. Will
keep you all posted as to the situation.
So here we are again....2009......and from what I understand the TNRF Invasion is going to be the FIRST weekend.....
So with that said....Lets all prepare for QuartEtte.
So with that said...
Lady Peddlin and myself will be there.
I'll be there!
Plans are to be at Bourbon Street Blues in Nashville on Friday night.
I'll be there too! As if there was any doubt! ;D
I plan to be there. Not sure if anyone's coming with me.
Unfortunately I will not be able to make it this year ... again.
Obviously, I'll be there...With bells on!
Heal'n and I will be there for both days of faire and hope to arive early enough to take part in the Friday evening activities.
me Belle and me have changed our visit to open'n weekend.
is there a paticular motel most are stay'n at ?
me's heard that this is a mini-Ette/ M'Crack/ TNRF Invasion weekend, correct ?
will there be any attempts to get a block of rooms ? somewhere.
just start'n to get a little excited and want to get our room reserved.
is there a list'n of attend'ees ?
just two and a half months to go. ;D
i be the Old Tinker and his Belle...

thanks Mad Jack for the list'n,
since it is a "M'Crack Family Gather'n", please record me Belle and me as Tinker'n and (PET)Toll'n M'Crack good Sir, we's thank thee.
alright'y then, one question down, three to go. ::)
oh, Lady Nicolette, Athena, how bout those other questions.
Ah, feels even closer now with the list'n. ;D
i be the Old Tinker and his Belle...
Old Tinker, my friend...Will work on those details once I get back from my little sojourn out of town...Perhaps if those who have attended before would like to put in their suggestions for hotels, that would be helpful. Ette Central has usually been Motel 6 in Murfreesboro, there are several in that general area that are more expensive, but also have more amenities. Can those who have stayed at other places please give their opinions?
I should be back sometime after the 23rd or so.
Don't forget bmgjarvis and Syrilla, Jack! They are honoraries...Not to mention one is a Royal of the highest degree...
And as far as other R/F members, there will likely be many more...
Good day, all my fair faire friends! I know, it's been forever since I've been on here, but for some reason, I couldn't get in! I gave it another go today and I'm IN! Yea!
Well, I'm hoping to be working at TennRen, but not sure, yet. If not working, I may join the invasion! I loved it there last year and we did have a lovely time....in the rain, didn't we? *lol*

Motel 6 was ok, but Heal'n and I have decided to visit with the new Embassey Suites. Should be interesting Sunday morning when Brother Timothy walks up to order his omlet at the breakfast bar. :D
Aww don't forget about me! *pout*
I'm just glad TNRF is back to being my home faire now. ;D
Hello from across the pond! Lord Stephen and I have another commitment that weekend and sadly, will be unable to attend QuartETTE. But we will be thinking of everyone.
Imagine big hugs from me during the weekend, ok? :D

'Tis sad to know you won't be attending! Well, perhaps we'll catch each other at Kentucky? Huggles to you, Blue!
Maybe next year Jez.... I decided that it's for the good of all Ren-Kind that I stay my happy butt in the great state of Texas for 2009. I will be venturing to New Orleans this summer sometime, iffin you up for a little Midsummer Debauchery. Other than that, Miss Blue will be coming out of her cave officially for BARF 2010.
Well, it's good to know you won't stay in hiding forever! I may be at BARF in 2010, as well. Depends. I'll keep you informed. Hugs, Love!
I may have to return to BARF next year! :)
Blue, Renee, and Steve will be missed! Jezzy I can't wait to see you!!!!
Oh, Darlin', you KNOW you'll see me at GLMF!!!!! I can't wait to see you, either, Love. I hope I get to work at Tenn Ren, if not, well, I'll just have to wait for GLMF.
Big Gooshy Hugs!
*Wenchie begins to save money for sunscreen and mudslides*
*Upends piggybank*
Come on! Damn quarter is stuck in the slot.....
Wenchie, I can't wait to see you, too, Love! Miss you gals....ummm...and I guess I miss the guys, too. *wink*
Wow, now that really WILL be a group hug!!! :-*
Unfortunately I will be unable to attend the first weekend so I'll be there with you guys in spirit but I WILL be there the final weekend (Memorial Day). Brittany, my youngest graduates from High School on June 8th so I can't leave the island till the end of May. I'll miss you all!
Hugs from afar!
:-\
You will be missed Festmum.
I'm sure I can convince a few to raise their mugs in toast to missing friends.
Hibernian
When you raise that mug... raise one to Falcone and me?
I'm looking over the schedule this year and regret to say I'll have to pass on this one.
It's just not feasible to make TN that weekend. We will miss all of you...
and to the Clan M'Crack there... we'll raise a pint o'Guiness and drink to ye health!
Friend and now cousin need you ask...of course one for you and a second for the lad. I'm sure that our paths will cross again this season, perhaps in Maryland, and what fine tales we'll have to share with each other over fresh pints.

You bring the mudslides, darling, and I'll raid Zara's storehouse! ;) :D
Ahem...as long as your checking, could you see if she has any Somoas lift? Her favorite uncle cleric, Brother Timothy, loves the coconut and stuff!
Uncle Timmy, go read Comments for the answer to that.
QuartETTE seems to be in full swing.
We are thinking of Bourbon Street Blues Bar on Friday night in Nashville.
Input, anyone?
Just got back from a weekend of camping in the rain, but even in this soaken state, Nashville, the blues and a bunch of friends sounds like a good idea.
Yep, some of it survived Kentucky and a small bit is still in the dark waiting for TNRF. ;)
I want mint chocolate chip loki... *pout*
Ladyface, hows about I either save you some for TRF or ship you some???
31 DAYS to the kickoff of QuartETTE!!
It still seems so far away......plus we have a trip to GARF between now and then.....

Well you are ahead of me in this game, Hibernain. Just requested time off from job. Tickets to be ordered next week. And then......
Season pass has just been ordered. Can't wait to see everyone!
Got mine this morning as well ;D
I'm SO excited to see everyone without any Rendezvous planning this year! ;D
CapnFaye and Capt. Lucy, our ren daughts, we also just order'd ours last night (tickets that is), confirmation e-mail print'd. now just watch'n the calendar.
WW, thee is correct, much more time to visit and converse, and even an extra ale. ;D

Ah, closer than prior. only a few short weeks, then it will be the official open'n of the ren fest season 2009' for all in this region.
since we are attend'n the first week of TNRF, rather than the last, it may be a bit cooler than lat year. but fear not, your Papa Tinker and Mama Belle have "Castle" garb, ;D , that means we can handle anything Mother Nature can hand to us (Oh please, please Mother, make it nice for all concern'd ), since "Castleteer Gather'ns" are always dur'n the months of Nov. thru March. now just wait'n for the ten day countdown, so me's can check how your Sis (CapnFayeCutler) is negotiating with Mother Nature (CapnFaye did so well last year for KYHRF).
be well, be faire',

I have *no* idea what you speak of! ;D ::)
I think Lairde wants all of us to go to Chef Wang's for dinner on Saturday.
Y'all up for watching him maitre d' again?
rather the question is whether Chef Wang is ready for Guard'n again!

The egg in my possession hatched (Thanks, Laird!) and I promised the little critter a trip to TN!
dearest WW, me's were wrong. me Belle did not fry the egg, as a matter of fact we end'd up with three of Blue's offspring eggs. and as thy's, they have hatch'd. now that they hear that there long lost sibling will be visit'n QuartETTE, they give us no peace. so they also will be come'n to TNRF to not only see there sibling, but to find there way back to "DADDY". so if there is anyone that will be at QuartETTE, that may be runn'n into Blue this season, may they hitch a ride? do not know what kind of company Blue keeps, but these three young'uns of his are a cross between a dragon/tiger/leopard/MOOSE ??? (where has Blue been hang'n around ? )
i be the Old Tinker and his Belle...
I'll most assuredly bee seeing Blue this August at MNRF. From what I understand, the randy beggar has been wintering in Muffin's bodice, though I have it on good authority that he'll be winging his way to Jamaica alter this week in search of more rum. He must have drunk Bacardi out of house and home... again! :D
then our friend Mad Jack, can me's tell the little wing'd things, that they will be hitch'n a ride with you to finally see there Daddy ?
OT & B...
My friend, it would be an honour! ;D
That is, if they don't sneak home with Wenchie! :D
now that would be a good possibility. there's one female, one male, and the other, well just can not tell :D so we need to keep a close eye on the male, the female will surely want to ride you, with you( can you imagine a female EDIT: Blue[sorry Captain B])?? . but we can settle them down with a little rum, yes they like there rum. must be a "Daddy's genes thing".
thanks Jack,
i be the Old Tinker and his Belle...

Did I miss it or has/was a new Ette Central designated. I am under the impression that the motel 6 has been nixed as of last year.
Some are staying at the Embassy suites. There is a link here (http://www.renaissancefestival.com/forums/index.php?topic=321.0), I don't remember who is staying where.
How I wish I could see all of you, but alas, I have parental duties at the end of May and June...so...I will once again be at TNRF on memorial day weekend. Must see Krista's performances...and Brittany (Annia on the boards) is graduating a week or so later.
By the way....I'VE MISSED YOU GUYS!!!! Wish I had internet at home. Would be so much easier to keep up.
Also, as I was hoping to go to RENdevous...looks like it is nixed. My RenStar is engaged and will be married in September or October.
Anyway, rumor of my demise is greatly exaggerated!
((((((HUGTACKLE)))))
You will be SO missed when we are there. :(
But congratulations on Krista's engagement!
Let's hope it gets you out of the worst time for hurricanes. You more than earned those stripes there, darlin'!
Seems I have my work cut out for me for Sat on meeting the "LIST". I do hope to meet each and every one of you there that day and get photos.
Sir Clisto you'll be able to knock off at least half the list with one visit to the pub! :D
There was talk of going out Friday night...anything new on that score?
We're still set on the Bourbon Street Blues & Boogie Bar (http://www.bourbonstreetblues.com), for those who are interested.
Thats still a great idea, now we just need to flesh out a time frame.
Hey the web site says Cajun American Food, thats great, but you had me at "cold beer."
Will the Ette and Teer initiations be on Friday Nite this year......and yes, it did not say Guinness but I am sure I can find some in that area of town.

I know there will be some in the cooler located in the trunk of my car. ;)
No initiations or auction this year. Just lots of fun with good friends, old and new!
There may or may not be construction on I-40 that weekend. The weekend before Easter they close a 2mile section around the 24/40 split for bridge repair. They were suppose to do the other direction this past weekend but it was delayed due to weather.

GROUP PICTURE
How does outside the front gate after pub sing on Saturday and Sunday work for everyone?
That way we aren't hustled out and we won't be in other patron's way.
Or are there any other suggestions?
That worked out really well last year...We must try to have one with Syrilla in it, if we possibly can, though and that means one time inside the gate.

No, not 4. It can't be 4.
