The hotel I was looking into seems to not want to do much of any discounts.
I was looking on Hotels.com - That is the best place to find a room.
BARF address is:
4801 East Fowler Avenue
Tampa, FL 33617
Discounted Tickets -- Group rate tickets $13.95 per adult and $6.50 per child. I will be helping Mickey this year coordinating that.
So please email me with the quantity you need and you can pay me on Saturday morning, at tailgate.
cawcandy@yahoo.com
Please watch this thread as the schedule will be updated as more information becomes available...
Is there an accounting of those attending?
We will be there, but there is no accounting for us.
Remember this is a M'Crack gathering, last year we had a huge turnout.
Also this weekend hosts the St. Molden's Invasion! We all have a lot of fun!
*chuckle* as th' patron "saint" - the only "MUST" is fun!

No, we aren't.
Now just sit back and here's a colouring book and some crayons. The 72, not the 64....
And see how many out of state license plates you can see.
Really excited! Can't wait to see/meet everybody!
Ooh! Let's see what I can do with Indian red and raw sienna! :D
But *I* wanna use the raw sienna! Mooooooooom! Jack won't share! And he's on my side!
Kate keeps touching me!! And, and... I kinda like it....
Hey, just remember, kids-
I can turn around and smack the both of you and my hands will never leave the steering wheel.
You heard her, Kate! Hands off my tights! But I'll share the raw sienna with you now... ;)

It was so great to meet you Craft'n and Heal'n. Hope to see you again soon!
Just two more days til I arrive in FLorida.....
28-and-a-half hours for me. ;D
Less than 8 hours til I am on the road....
I'll pick Jack up at the airport in fourteen hours.
Sunshine is holding.... ;D
I wish I was gonna be there this year.
Have fun everyone! Hopefully next year I can make the trip again.
It won't be the same without you there, Quiet One.
But there is always TNRF...... ;D
Halfway there! ;D
They have started to arrive. Huzzah!!

the pic about is about the coolest Ren shot of the year! What joy ooozes forth! Y'all have a fantastic time!
He's INVINCIBLE!!!! ;D Have fun this weekend, everyone! I'll be there in spirit. Miss you all!
Three cheers to Beer'n -- the BEST cruise director anywhere!! An additional three cheers to all of the folks who did incredible coordination on the Kilt (Ravage'n), Tia's (Sap'n), tailgate/queen's tea (Pink'n, Peep'n), and all of the other aspects and folks I unintentionally omitted. What a great team effort and what a blast so far.
Additional cheers to all who participated, who brought items (food, loki, themselves etc.), who wenched or rouged, who provided EverFaire resources, and all who drank with us. Cheers to Fight'n for carrying the replacement clan banner (and others) to Florida. Cheers to all of the veteran M'cracks, the new M'cracks, our regional chieftain, St. Molden, the FoCMs, cast, and of course anyone who bought me a drink. Cheers to Guard'n and Peddl'n for once again gracing our Faire, for bringing the shirts for sale, and for installing the Florida chapter in the first place.
Athena, and others who could not be with us, we have missed you but know you all are here in spirit. That is part of the explanation of why the rum and cider keep disappearing!
In short, it's been great fun so far and we still have another day to go – including Musical Men at 2:00 in the Royal Glade. Huzzah!
Cheers to you as well, Hector. It was a wonderful time, and I'm so glad that I got to share it with all of you.
