our Ren Daught, CapnFaye, Ol'Redbeard does not speak often, but when he does, this Papa Tinker listens.  ;)

me's would offer me's burlap bed roll for you to use our Ren Daught, but me thinks that thy new bedroll would be much warmer. good to know CapnFaye, that thee is plann'n ahead for our "Gather'n".
Brrrrrr, it has been cold outside, but tis go'n to be above freezen in a couple of days.  ;D
your Tink and Belle...

We have two more friends asking if they may join the Castle gathering.

Tink & Belle...

I am sorry to say that we are unable to attend the next Castleteer's Gathering. =[

We also missed the last one as well, so sorry. 
Heck, by the time we are able to attend another, we wil be "Newbies" once again.

Nothing's wrong, just conflicting schedules...
...we will miss you, one and all!

Tinker , hello . My wife told me I need to let you know that she will be coming to the next Gather'n also sorry for not telling you sooner .
Thank you
Sir Jeffery

good friend Angus, tis a shame that thee and yours can not make this next "Gather'n", but as always those that do not make it, we always toast a tanker to them and theres. be well good Sir.

Sir Jeffrey, yes of course thy Ladies name will be mark'd with thee. a name would help, but for now twill be "& Lady" that me's will post for you.

So, we come within 60 days for those that await the winter days to fade, and a little spring is in the air, then, yes then tis time to "Gather", and start our 2010 Ren season. many will "Gather" amongst there friends, and many hours of talk and laughs and drink. do not know about others, but this Old Tinker and his Belle are count'n the days.
all be safe dur'n these winter'ee days,
we serve,
Tink and Belle...

We too are counting down the days and already making plans to start washing/airing out garb. Layla and I need our ren fix..very badly. Missing all of you!  ;D

I am sorry Tinker , My Lady's name is  " Lady Jodi ". Can't wait for the gathering and being able to meet new friends such as you and your Belle .

good day to all,

 My good friend Tinker,
Looks like we may have a bit of a Michigan invasion coming down.
Please put Dale and Lynette ,Mike and Jill and Mike and Beth on the list.They are all newbies to the Castle but long time Rennies.
Carl and Donna

We be counting the days as well. I have even ordered some new (warm!) garb from Devlyn.
Faire fever has hit hard in our house. Of course, I make it worse by playing Albannach.
We cannot wait to see everyone again!

Mike and Beth! Could that be Max and Kate? Also Tink, Karla Grace O'Malley will be sailin' in from the port o' D.C. to join us for this gathering. She'll be sailing with the notorious "Bear". He's a pistol and could prove to be an obnoxious sort but he's always good to have around at a gatherin' of any sort!

I -need- Castleteer weekend.

Like, now.

D: MAKE IT COME FASTER! <3

This will be a rather fun Castle so close to the full moon!

or a very strange one...

Ohhh, tis start'n to stir out there,
de "Castleteers" are gett'n restless.  ;)
we's do hope for a clear night so's the Moonshine can shower us all,
Hmmm, did someone say Moonshine.  ;D

our dearest LadyHawke, me's was wonder'n the same thing, tis it Max and Kate?? we wait for good Carl to respond...  we's shall enter Karla and "Baer" to the list'ns. how were the travels our Butterfly ?

tis a joy to serve,
your Tink and Belle...

Yes Good Tinker it is Max and Kate they are set to come as long as Kates work does not interfer. We will be seeing them this weekend at the Breterens Party in Howell mi. this Sat.

and there we have it, it tis Max and Kate dear LadyHawke.
each "Gather'n" there be new rennies come to enjoy the fun and companionship.

here is an idea, me Belle and me are check'n into those car flags that hook on a car window.
it would just have the "Castle" silhouette and "Castleteers" print'd below
not sure if it would be costly, but we's will report a yea or nae on cost,
and the minimum quantity that has to be order'd. then we's will see whom is interest'd in have'n one or two.
please hold any orders until me's find out all the terms and cost. but opionions are more than welcome'd.
now this may take a little time to work out, so's all be patient with this Old Tinker and his Belle...
may all have good fortune,
OT & B...

Oooh. That is one I would definitely be interested in.

One place you may want to try is Flaggs USA. They do have a store by the Jungle Jims. They worked on our custom flag for our pirate crew and they came out beautifully. And the price was reasonable. The more you ordered, the cheaper it got. I'm sure they can do car flags as well.

thank you ladylissame, the more options, the better to deal ...
Tink and Belle...

Ok OK OK I have an interest in one but I need an antenna first.... ;D

Quote from: Sir Samuel on February 05, 2010, 07:59:25 PM

good Sir Samuel, thee item me's speak of is to hook to thy window and roll it up, antenna is optional.
item tis in the work'ns, wait'n to see a price before me's do anything else..
good fortune to all,
Tink and Belle...

friend SNS, if need be, me's will lay down on the spot and they will have to drive over me's to get to your P-spot,(that is parking spot).
lets have some fun with thy last post.  ;D

whom can guess what SNS is refer'n to when he states, "---both electric and ... XXXXXX" (me's have add'd the XX's, hint).  ;)

OT & B...

PRIVVY
Heeehee!!

It's a good place to be close to..  ;D

Should anyone be foolish enough to attempt to drive over My friend Tinker, they will have to deal with me first.

...and I think there might be a long line of like minded folk waiting to defend this fine fellow.

Nay good Ren Daught, thou a very fine guess.
from the first that KYHRF, our good friend Angus has always watch'd me back (or legs, belly ,face), and good Sir, me Belle and me have always appreciated it.
our LadyHawke, how many inch's did thee have fall apon thee ?
we's only had about 6 or so down here, and some of that freeze'n rain stuff, that we's would rather have more inches of snow.
just'a count'n days till the "Gather'n",
enjoy good peoples,
Tink and Belle...

Outlets - let's just let that be a vague metaphor in our future Gather'n conversation.

In addition to the electric blanket, I may need to bring a warm, padded seat for sittin' round the fire. You know... gotta keep my outlet warm and comfy!  ;D

so be it, good SNS, we shall just leave well enough alone.  ;D
and so it is- 'Outlets' will go into the "Castlenary of Undefine'd Words" or should me's say- "Castlenary, Words that need not be Define'd".   ::)
OT & B...

Well dear scribe, we've only gotten about 8 inches of snow and it's been not too bad to keep up with, but, living on the top of the hill as I do has it's drawbacks. I need a Subaru to live up here, not a Saturn. But lest I complain! Poor Karla Grace O'Malley is in the DC area and is under 4 feet of snow! Then there's Maryland, EIGHTY INCHES! Makes me think of Scottsman and Lady Guiness bein' over thataway an' all!!

some fond memories past of our beloved captain...

I have one more friend requesting permission to join, my brother Michael.
Sometimes, I swear I am the only one in my group who enjoys forums.....

Also, Derek/Gregory and I were discussing what we would want to bring to this event in terms of food. What would the group think of a loaf of monkey bread? It's almost like a giant cinnamon roll that you pull apart and eat chunks at a time. Very yummy and addicting.

Monkey bread is GOOOOOOD! And the Herbivores like me can eat it too!

Faye and I are going to start our very own Vegetarian Contingent at Castle! xD  I haven't the vaguest idea at this point what I'm bringing, though I might get a crock-pot and make this super-amazing vegetarian chili. =^.^=

Gosh.  I miss everyone so much!  D:  Just a month and some change now, though I'm not sure I can hold out that long!

Might want to add myself & Sir Joseph Von Lamar to the list for Saturday. 

well our Dear LH, me's think sometimes me's would like snow instead of that ol'sleet and ice we's been receive'n here in our hill. but as always, this will pass and soon we all shall be celebrate'n the come'n of spring with our "Gather'n", that now is closer than when the date was set (well, gotta find something positive  ;) ). and we's agree though, pour souls in Maryland.
good Sir Marcus, thee and Sir Joseph have been add'd to the list'ns, and it shall be good to see thee once again, be safe.
ladylissame, also we have add'd Michael. now it shall be a few weeks before me's start list'n the offer'ns of food stuffs, let's say about March 1st. so please do not let this Old Tinker forget to include thy "Monkey Bread", sounds delicious.
be well all and safe,
your Old Tinker and his Belle...

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM Monkey bread ...... Is it made with real monkeys? or better yet, do you have to spank the monkey first before you get the bread :D

They never give it up easily..... ;D

You can mark me down for Friday and Saturday!

This will be my first Castle gathering... be gentle.  ;)

well then Lady Jeanne, we shal add thee to the list'ns.
welcome aboard, thee will have join'd one of the most enjoyable groups of rennies that me Belle and me have come across. dress warm, Oh and do not forget thy bedroll, fore one of the requirements to become a "Castleteer", is that the individual must spend at least one night within "Laveland Castle".
.
and yet another plans to join the ranks of the "Castleteers",
some of the best peoples, for the best times,
at all's service,
i be the Old Tinker and his Belle...

HUZZAH! and welcome!

Tink, I am not sure we will be able to attend but put myself and Sir Charles down as maybes? Thats the start of spring break week here and while I don't think we will be traveling yet that day, I can not be sure at this point. (We are hoping to make a trip to CT to visit Yale, so my daughter can see it before she applies next fall.)

If we attend, there is a good chance we would be accompanied By Rodney and his Lady AJ, Christina and her new beau Chad and quite possibly Amy again as well. Put us all down just in case.
Thanks my dear, dear man {{{{{bearhugs}}}}} to hold you until I can do them for real!

Yep, we'll be heading down for the Gather'n next month, Carl & Donna will be showing us the way.

me's have put thee and all that may attend, so's that they would be list'd, and do have authorisation to attend the "Novennial Gather'n", (as our "Captain humphrey" has state'd, Attendees must be upon the LIST to be admitted.). untill then dear Lady..  :-*

Max and Kate, me's knows no other that could lead thee better to our "Gather'n", than our dearest friends Carl and Donna.  ;)
travel safe all,
Tink and Belle...

I've talked to a few more non-forum folk who want to join in on the Castle fun. We're all ORF cast members... Guess we're itchin' for the season to start up again!  :)

Carrah
Tiffany
Chelsie
Kat
Erin (ladyriddle- maybe?)
Zyn (maybe)
Kelsey (maybe)
Laura (maybe)

goodness Jeanne, bring'em on. what a way to break the winter blues, there be no better than a visit to "Loveland Castle" and a "Castleteers Gather'n".
Oh and let us not forget that Lady Riddle has bin a "Castleteer" since at least the second of our "Gather'ns", when me Belle and me had attend'd for our first time to the "Castle", and met her. welcome back dear one, we's hope thee can make it for this "Ninth Gather'n".  :)

as the cabin fever becomes stronger, and the tease of spring was in the air last weekend, many many rennies feel the pull of our "Gather'ns". Ahhh, did someone say SPRING !!  8)

i be the Old Tinker and his Belle...

Is it time yet.... ???   ;D

I am so anxious.. I can barely wait. I mean, I have to wait.. it's not like I have a choice but..the anticipation is killing me!  ::)

I surely hope I can make it.  Maybe even with bells on!!  :)

Lady Riddle, you make it and I'll bring my laptop and a SRK movie! :P

Last year, it was 69 degrees on St. Pat's day. Is it too early to start praying for similar Gather'n weather?

sns

P.S. Tink - if it stays this cold, I may need to bring enough extension cord so that I can walk the castle grounds with my new e-Blanket!

Ello, ello, everyone! I'm Lissame's friend Lina :)
She's been working on convincing at least one person out of each couple to haul their butts over here and say hello to everyone.. We're all looking forward to Castleteers in our house. I can't wait to meet everyone that she's been talking about finally!

She is the Selina on the list of people I was dragging to Castle :)

I am assured that be there not so many irish there, they may have to be plenty of Irish Coffee on hand. Or some sort of the same

OT & B...

I am not sure how my name ended up on the list, since I didn't even think I'd be able to go. But . . . I am hopefully going to be able to push around my schedule and make it Saturday night. Too many people that I never get to see are here! How can I miss a chance to see you all? And plus, even after an excellent Faire-themed birthday party last month (courtesy of jinx and other awesome people) I need a faire fix too! But my lord won't be in attendance this time. Just me.

Who's excited now? Mwah ha ha!

Ok, I'm a little slap happy . . . .

Oh, and I wanna bringing cream cheese salsa wraps  ;)

Is it for Friday AND Saturday night? I thought it was just Friday night.

Nope, Friday night is 'danes night and Saturday night is garb night...I think that's how it works..  ::) We've yet to make it up on a Friday night!  :-\

Always on Saturday. Fridays were added to accomodate those who need to drive a bit of a distance for what used to be just a one-nighter. Friday is indeed 'danes night. I hear the chili is good. I haven't been up for a Friday either, yet.

We attended Sat night last year. The dates led me to believe it was only Friday this time.....oops.

Aye, our LadyHawke, tis been Saturday nights- w/ a dash of Fridays thrown in there since me thinks about the third or fourth "Gather'n".
our ren daught, Lady Everclear, this Old Tinker could not answer thee onpo thy question, not sure how thee end'd up on the list'ns, me's have check'd and thee must have been hopes in this Old Tinkers mind that thee would be with us, enjoy'n with us the break of winter, and the come'n ren season. as things work out ( Papa knows) we shall be see'n thee after-all.  ;)
and we shall record thy foods this come'n Monday, right along with the Monkey Bread.  :D
Oh Mmmmaannn, it not next weekend, Mmrr, "easy Tink, only a few more weekends" Belle.
service to all,
OT & B...

Thank you, papa! I can't wait to see you and mama belle!

So it's actually overnight Saturday the 27th to Sunday the 28th? I was confused by the Friday date as well, I guess. I live close to Loveland, though, so I don't have to drive very far, thankfully!

Ah - Hah, tis March 1st, and finally me's can start list'n the food offer'ns, so's we's have done so.
so all start think'n of the items thee wish to bring, now check the list'ns, so's we's do not end up with seventeen pots of beans.. :o
we serve all,

so sorry our Jeanne, me's has add'd to the dates at top of the list'ns, so that it be more clear (and will do so from now on), LH's scribe is sometimes not to clear to all (does that make sense ?)  ??? .

You can stay overnight in the castle on Friday as well.

I myself along with my Lady will of course be staying friday night, and welcoming all on the early morn of saturday. Fortunately I will have to be there thursday evening for our troup practice so I will have all ready for early friday and aid in setting up anything that may need be done. As for my addition to the food I have to decide, I will await others to see what may be necessary. Also if any would care to join me on Saturday, I must attend to my sons grave on the 27th he of course is Sir Kyle who left this earth 2ys to the date,  to fullfill his needs in heaven for our God Almighty. He is buried in Milford so it is close if any wish to accompany me and my lady.

good Sir Samuel, what would be about the time of day Sat. that you and your Lady will be heading toward Milford? if thee knows at this time.

Herein, Scribe, be the post'n for foodstuffs proposed for Novennial Gather'n arduously prepared in the kitchens of Cincinnatus by Imestra y Curtro.
Imestra's Famous Meaty Pies!

Additionally, although the prior attempt was disastrous, veggie puffs for the herbivoriously inclined.

And Aunty Lou will be bringing meaty pies as well!  Mayhap a loaf of meat...  And, perhaps a sweet for the breaking of the fast...

While my food offerings aren't yet set in stone, I'll be bringing two baked things: something sweet (possibly muffins of some nature, because who doesn't love ugly cupcakes?) and something savoury...though I'm not sure what.  I've been experimenting and feeding the results to bff-boy.  xD

As far as foodstuffs, I believe possibly my meatloaf. It is lloking at timing to get it made. I will, of course, be in Friday eve to Sunday.

We'll be bringing a veggie tray with dipping sauces and may hap something else to dip too.

Right now we are thinking it may just be Saturday. We got a new puppy and are trying to figure out who can take her for the night since our household will be at Castle.

So, for the savoury bit, I will definitely be bringing garden vegetable turnovers (and this is my first go-round with making pastry dough, so be kind).  For the sweet, I'm leaving it up to the lot of you.

I can make a larger batch of dough for the turnovers and use half for the vegetable turnovers, and the other half for cherry and nutella turnovers, OR I can make some Banana Blueberry Ugly Cupcakes (err...muffins).  I can't decide, so people...YOU decide.  >_>

We'll try your veggie turnovers and not complain at all.

I know Lady Helen & I will be bringing her Bannan Nut Bread along with Buckeyes (peanutbutter & chocolate), a couple kinds of cookies and Brownies (male & female ). The normal sweets that everyone loves.

Our group isn't sure what we're bringing..  :-\

We'll have to get back to you on that!  But we've only a few weeks now and we're positively busting at the seams! Time to (finally!) get out the garb, give it a good wash and shake.. and make sure the winter pounds haven't strained the seams..  ::) Hey - I know I'm not the only one who thinks that after the winter months..

Yay female brownies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   :D

I have NO IDEA what I'm bringing. It'll probably be either a fruit or vegetable tray, as I'll be traveling a long way and will stop at Meijer on the way in. ;)

sawbone sally, thee has post'd in the correct place and thy natures candy'ees have been mark'd on the list'ns.
and the same for thee, our ren daught, CapnFaye, yet thee may not be sure of thy food offer'ns, thy Mama Belle and me's are so glad thee are make'n the trip. we miss you.  :-*
just two more weeks from now, we's all shall be congregate'n at the "Castle", Ahh, just the thought makes me grin till it hurts.
just'a watch'n and wait'n,
Tink and Belle...

Tinker, please remove Lee from our list. Sadly he will be in AZ that weekend attending AZRF (originally was to be this coming weekend but had to be changed last minute)

Aw, I was looking forward to seeing Lee again! At least the rest of you will be there!

The Castleteers must be busy preparin'..  ;D Everyone is sooo quiet.  Usually Papa Tink is counting down by now!

Hehe!

Faye - Loki? Yes/No?  You know Layla and I are already wondering just what flavors you're bringing.. we didn't get any made in time..  :o

now you know your Papa Tinker is always a'watch'n though, and thee be right bout count'n down, but me thinks it will be a 10 day countdown this time, start'n this come'n Thursday (me's think'n the 27th as the "official" date). before all know it, we's all will be travel'n toward Loveland and the "Castle". sure wish it was this weekend, but whom is me to think me's could push this ol'earth any faster than she goes now.
take care Maeve, our ren daught,
Papa Tink

since me ren daught has wake'n her Papa Tinker, and me's do see that tis a little quiet, lets review de'rules, as our "Captain humphrey" has state'd. me thinks that since there are many newbies upon the list'ns, that it may be wise to do so. so without any delay, please all read below:

 
" So You Want To Be A Castleteer?: or A Guide For Newbies "
« on: September 17, 2009, 08:21:57 AM »  

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Castleteers have evolved to the point that (unfortunately) i feel rules are necessary. so here they are.

1. The Castleteer Gatherings are Adult Events. Not so much because we only do adult things and youngsters wouldn't fit in. It is because we are a large group, spread out over the interior and grounds of the Castle. It is impractical, if not impossible, to monitor everything and still be able to enjoy the festivities.

2. The Castleteer Gatherings are Garbed Events. This one is easy, it is because I say so.   The KOGT knows they have to be dressed to attend, so it is only fair everyone else is dressed too. lol (this rule is very connected to rule 3)

3. Only Those Who RSVP May Attend. The crowd control rule. You need to RSVP on one of the forums in order to be on the guest list. People come to visit the Castle 24/7, whether we are open or not, they will still come. That means strangers will often appear and simply invite themselves to the party. It happens all the time at the Castle. Feel free to take a bit of ownership and upon seeing someone that doesn't belong explain that the Castle is closed and currently being rented by a private party. If you are not comfortable doing this then simply find me....I love doing it. I am very polite, but forceful and have never had to raise my voice or cause a scene. Not once in 20 years. (well maybe once or twice, but you won't find the bodies)

4. These Are Potluck Dinners. Bring something. It shows participation and intent. You do not have to eat, I rarely do. But remember, it is the thought that counts.

5. BYOB. Self Explanatory. But please be responsible for your own gear. Also, refer to rules 2 and 3.

6. Have Fun, Make New Friends, Laugh A Little. You are missing the point if you don't follow this rule.


to all good fortune,
LadyHawkes Scribe,
I be the Old Tinker and his Belle...

PS  and- to call yourself an " Official Castleteer", you must spend an entire night(that is sleeping there), in "Loveland Castle".
     and- "What Happens at the "Castle" Stays at the "Castle"..

Long Live Harry's Dream !

Just a little something to get everyone fired up for the Novennial Gather'n.
Chateau La Roche by Tanner (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azaSW3cO2iQ)

I bow to Tanner for such an honorable song of an Honorable Man

We are all very excited!

Tink,

I would like to make sure that myself, pixie and aurora (a friend of ours) can still get on the list for the event. We have been so busy running around that time has gotten away from us. We will be bringing scones for the even too.

Draconus

I was just asking Kadden last night if you and Pixie were going to make it. =) Yay!!

No worries Maeve, I still have a bit of the last batch leftover...should be extra good since it's been aging in the dark since September! I totally forgot to even try to start a new batch! I remember the pirate mouthwash and lemon drop being crowd favorites. I'll see what I have left.

A very happy St. Patrick's Day to my fellow Castleteers! I shall see thee all the 27th!

A great song by Tanner! I am getting really excited!

good Draconus,  anytime prior to the event right up to Friday even'n (Mundain night), is still good to be add'd to the list'ns. great that thee and yours can make it.  ;D

question, first me's keep gett'n block'd to get to Tanners song, hows all of you do'n it ?
second question, (there's a reason LH calls me her "Silly Scribe"), me's do not see Dragonlord upon the list'ns, does he go by another name, that this Old Tinker has forgotten ?   ???

our ren daught, CapnFaye, and we be wish'n thee a good St. Patrick's day in return. me dear Da, rest his soul, was half Irish and half Scottish.  ;)   see thee soon daught.

Between all of us, I'm sure we'll have a lot of food to contribute (I'll make sure of it!), but definitely Irish soda bread (even if it's two weeks late), since that's my favorite to make!

be good to see thee in just a few more days, give that grandyoung'un big HUGs again from his grandPapa and grandMama.

jinx'ee, the circle of "Friends of the Rock" and introduction shall once again be decide'd by the "Castleteers" Overlords- Captain humphrey and LadyHawkeontheHill the last stand'n "Pillar of the Castleteers". but me's will say, with all the new rennies jion'n us for the ninth "Gather'n" and it was indeed a help for this Old Tinker( to put names with faces, even if it only stay'd in me head for that night,  ::) ), mayhaps we shall. one more thing, if'n we do's, like for someone to get a PIC from the "Castle" roof, look'n down on the bunch of us.

Truly, confusion has gripped me, for I must take exception with Old Tinker's count! 
For how is it that a week contains eight days?  Verily, one week from today, the Castleteers
gather, yet by MY count (tomorrow being one day from this day) the long awaited Gather'n
be a mere seven days hence, and perhaps six to those arriving on Gather'n Eve.
Mayhaps our dear scribe hath letters, yet numbers have escaped his head.
Either way - Better Get Cookin!!

I like the Circle. I do hope we get to do it again. We will have 4 new faces with us Saturday.

OT & B...

 accord'n to our "Captains" rules - PLEASE all make sure that you  and yours are list'd upon the list'ns, fore this Old Tinker would HATE (and me's do not use that word often), to have to turn around someone that me's knows, but was not upon the list'ns (thought me Belle and me park at the gate just to be close to the privies ? nay, we are always watch'n whoms come'n in. well someone has to do it.)  ;)  

OT & B...

Word of note, all who can should bring extra paper plates, plastic utensils and maybe napkins or a roll of paper towels. We have, in the past, run out of these necessary items and this makes it doubly hard to eat the sloppy goodies that need plating. I'm bringing a boatload of these items, but with eighty souls on the list that's a mighty number to provide for. Also, if you are bringing foodies that need slicing, dicing or serving up, ladles, carving knives and serving forks are in order. We always seem to get everybody's dishes and utensils back to them, somehow it works. Sir Fred always seems to be paying attention to these details and he does a very good job of it.

Just making it through today, and then?  Then there are just the four days at work to trudge through!  (Can you believe they're actually going to PAY me to be at the Castle on Saturday?!  xD  I <3 Personal Time!)  I'm ridiculously excited!

By the way, everyone!  I'm dragging Mini with me!  YAAAY!  So, please add her to the listin'!

We'll be bringing a pasta veggie salad.Fair weather no rain

just count'n down the days,
OT & B...

I heard veggie pasta salad. Jinx and I will rejoice again! Lol!

REJOICE!

I also have a small packet of bright pink Peeps ready to meet their melty doom. ;D

The weather is looking good so far!  We still are undecided on what we're going to bring.. maybe some bread and dip or something.. It'll have to be something we can pick up at the store... Maybe a cheeseball! Who knows - but it'll be something.  ::)

Jinx - Yah Mini ! I have a bunch of peeps that I will be bringing that I found in my room.
Maeve - Bread is always a good choice

Our crew cook Brandon is hoping to come with us on Friday.

The days get closer
the time is near
Is everyone ready
Do you have your gear?

The weather is turning
spring is here
we've waited all winter
for this Castleteers

Novennial Gatherin
we call it this time
its hard to fit in
a short little rhyme

but counting the days
till we once again meet
for fun and frolic
at our little keep

Chateau LaRoche
The Castleteers will gather
the attendance this time
we are sure to shatter

So till that day
I lift up a cheer
to the whole band of friends
The Loveland Castleteers

That made me spit coffee on the monitor. What the flock is a PeepFlinger3000? Whatever it is it sounds like fun. Can we fling anything else with it?

Lol yeah, that's what I call my sugar coated (from last time) slingshot! :D It works well on the chickies. The bunnies do not fly so well! :(

I gotta get the really awesome Peep Catapult from Siege the Day sometime! That thing is sweet

I still have the squeaky peep my ex gave me years ago. (Not edible obviously)

Good Tinker,

I believe I will be headed to the castle come Saturday evening unless some unforseen event occurs. (Waylaid by pirates, perhaps?) ;D
Please add me to listings.
Looking forward to seeing everyone!

Capt Amos

good Capt Amos, waylaid by pirates or pirates busy waylay'n ?  ;)
thee is upon the list'ns Captain, so glad thee can come.

faire weather no rain, faire weather no rain, faire weather no rain.

LONG LIVE HARRY"S DREAM !

Old Tinker and his Belle...

Looking forward to seeing you all again, Captain!  ;D

All this talk about washing garb early and stuff..and I haven't even done the first load of ren-laundry..  ::) 

Dear Castleteers,

I will be there Saturday.  What time should I arrive and I know that this is a wee bit last minute but what should I bring??  I am horrible at coming up with something myself... so if someone has an idea and it is within reason, of course, I will bring it with so we all can enjoy!  It has been many seasons since I have been to the Castle and I am looking forward to it.  It will be wonderful to see everyone again and to meet new people and make new friends.  Now I have to admit.. if we have met before possibly while I am running round in the giant purple dress with a flock of people behind me, I may or may not remember your name, so forgive me if I have to ask.  ;D  Looking forward to seeing you all there!! 

our Lady Riddle, me Belle and me are look'n forward to the "Gather'n" also.
as for your question, we's noticed that unlike most pot luck's, there is no potato salad or even baked beans. nor egg salad or even tuna salad and any kind of chips or pretzels. those are just a couple of things that may help out your decision.
so glad thee can come, we shall see thee there.  ;D
be safe in your travels,
i be the Old Tinker and his Belle...

Pretzels and beer. Pretzels and beer. (sang to the tune of Silver and Gold)

...and that would be my two cents worth.

I am sooooo excited! I will be there Friday for some time with Derek, Michael and Brandon. I will however, not be staying that night. Got to get home to the puppy. I will return Saturday after dropping off the puppy at my parents with Derek, Michael (if he does not stay the night), Crevan Wulf, and Selina. I will be staying that night though.

Lady Riddle, I look forward to meeting you outside of faire. I look forward to seeing everyone again!!!!

Due to the fact that I have to work Saturday morning, I will not be at the castle Friday night. I will meet up with all on Saturday afternoon.

You can add crock pot creamed corn as well as a potato casserole to the list of foods!

Walked out to snow on my car this morning... I'm SO ready for this nice weekend with rennies!  ;D

And I feel I should apologize in advance if my garb isn't up to normal season standards- I got a tattoo on my back yesterday, so lacing up tight may not be the best idea. Oops!

Change of plans....Brandon will be coming tomorrow instead of today. They switched his work schedule

I saw north Columbus get swallowed up in snow and ice, then all of Columbus, then it was time to do the "please don't come this far south" dance. It didn't but it got very cold and frosty. Tomorrow is looking good!

A few miles from Loveland - a dusting of white stuff on the ground this morn, all gone now!
While the sun is up, 'tis pleasant at the castle.  When the sun goes down, we have the warmth of the company.  Oh! and the rum...

To Tinker- I am on the list as Paul Blackpowder, bringing meatloaf. Mundane name is Paul Limbert.

This little Jinx will be heading out in 30 minutes or so!  I'm super excited, and simply cannot -wait- to see everyone! <3 <3 <3

Tinker, you left earlier than we expected, and we thank you for the use of your air pump, however you had already left by the time we were up! So, we have your air pump and would like to see it back to its rightful owner :) We'll be at KHRF opening weekend so maybe we can return it then?

'Twas a wonderful gathering. So many newcomers to welcome and cherish. Festivities, merriment, dancing and singing. Hope to see everyone on the circuit, and again in November!

I will try to get photos posted later today

I had a great time as always, and thanks to the KOGT and Captain Humphrey for having us again!

Looking forward to seeing some of you a couple of weeks, some in May, and throughout the rest of the year. Love you all!

I want to thank all those great people who came both far and near to make this Novennial Gatherin a success. Great fun was had by all. It was great to meet new friends as well as catching up with those well met before. I of course want to express my great appreciation to all those people that work so hard to keep making these Gatherings happen. As time goes I am sure we will see great numbers coming to hang out and share in the joy of friendship and peep slinging.  ;D I see many have facebook pages and if you want you can add either myself or my Lady Samantha for we have some photos to share as well. Look for Samantha Tipton or Samuel Benzinger. Ohhh Immestra I need my mugs :( they got misplaced again......:)

Our group had a lovely time as always!  What a joy to make the trip up to Loveland for each gathering! It was soo nice to see everyone again! Making new friends.. catching up with old ones. we're already looking forward to/plotting ways to see everyone again sooner than later!

Huzzah for an awesome gathering!  ;D

You know I gotta do it....


Hey Captain Humphrey, when's the TENTH gathering!? :D

Oh! Sir Samuel, I swear by my honor that the mugs were in the kitchen when we left.

The next official gathering will be in the fall. Personally, I would be happy to see all of us together anytime we can.

our ren daught Capt Lucy, forgive me's for gett'n in the way of thy fairebox, and mess'n up they PICs.
all check out the PICs that LH and others have post'd, there great as always.
many thanks to all that came to the Ninth "Castleteers Gather'n". lots and lots of great peoples.  the circle of friends was grand, and to here each of you for introductions does help this Old Tinker recall everyone. we had perfect weather Sat. and even'n.
can never thank enough, our "Captain humphrey" and the KOGT Knights. good Sir Fredrick, once again the steady eye that protects us all, we thank thee dearly.
works have already begun on the next "Gather'n", which will be the Tenth.
thank to all for great time,
your Tink and Belle...

We had a great time, thanks to all involved. it was nice to meet new friends as well as seeing old friends.

Max and Kate allow me to thank you for making it to our gathering. It is wonderful to have newbies come to the Castle. As well, meeting new friends always makes for a wonderful time. We hope to see you again at the next gathering.

Bye cryky ....Tink!!!!!

How art thou?

Oh how I miss the snow in February at the castle. I recollect one night it snowed and rained so much the river was so engorged Humphrey was swept down stream and had to be rescued by a band of marauding and ale swilling Vikings...what ho!... those were the days.

Lou

Ahh, the Master Chief of the "Castleteers", (never will we forget thy prep of food thy would have at the "Castle"). hope all is well and good with thee and thy Lady. this last "Gather'n" at the "Castle", we's had about 60 to 70 rennies there and it once again was a grand time. as far as the snow goes, our "Captain humphrey" has been sett'n the dates a little earlier in the fall (mid Nov.), and a little later after the New year (end of March), so's any troubles with snow has been resolved and the "Castleteers" do not have to be concerned with "THE HILL OF DEATH".  ;)
mayhaps thee can make a "Gather'n" once again someday, would be good to see thee and just sit and talk on the past years since thy departure.
take care and let us know if ever in the territory,
your Old Tinker and his Belle...
