Hey are we having a meet n greet Fri night?
Alas and Alack...I will will be packing and finishing last minute details " This Time... in Two weeks".
We (Syrac and I) will be leaving Dark and early on Saturday. Perhaps a dinner after FAire??? there are some great restaurants on Geneva. And it is a great "party" atmosphere that will continue the feeling of Faire...
Oh pish posh...well talk when the time arrives...
Everyone arrive safely...I need you all there. You are all so precious to me. Be well. SAfe Journeys to all.
Travel safe everyone.
We could go up to "The Strip" in Geneva on the Lake after faire on Satuday in garb.
um.... holiday weekend, lots of tourists, a few bikers, bunch of Rennies in garb all in a 50's/60's boardwalk carnival atmosphere..........could be interesting.
Hmmm ... I expect we will get into town early on Friday evening ... does anyone want to hook up for dinner and drinks Friday night (4th of July)?

If anyone sets up a dinner on Friday, let me know. I will drive out and join you. I am not real familiar with the establishments out that way anymore, so I can't make any suggestions on where.

I'm good for it...PLEASE let me know in advance, like a day or two. I'll be traveling with 3 of my puppers and have to allow time for travel and to get them settled. Thanks K??!!! ;D
Edited to add: Lady Hawke will be joining us with me on Fri.
Sounds good ... that makes 4 of us so far, we should do this! If anyone has the name of a nice pub, give us a shout. Hopefully nothing too far away.
Where are you guys staying Scotsman?
Are we there yet????? Are we there yet??? Are we there yet????? ??? ??? ??? I can't wait!!!
I just remembered what I liked best about this faire ... it is one of the only ones I have been to that has Smithwicks on tap .... can you say MMMMmmmmmmmmm! ;D
Again mmmm...Smithwicks....MmmmmmmmMmmmmmmmm. "Salivating beer trance a la Homer Simpson"
Smithwicks??? and I get to bring a pupper dog...I'm a stayin' there forever!!! ;D

Soon, soon my good Lady G...we shall all be engulfed in a massive Group Hug!! ;)
No ... No ... Group Chug! ;D
I'm typing along this morning and thinking of this thread and come up on the word phagocytosis (to engulf and ingest, and therefore destroy) and suddenly I have this picture of Scotsman at the Stumble Inn slowly working his way through kegs of Smithwicks.....
Oh... let the phagacytosis begin!

Being the anal retentive soul that I am, I started hunting down places that would be open Friday night (even though I won't be there....) Unless you want to make the drive to Geneva on the Lake (30 miles) or Mentor (I so want to make jokes) its not looking good. Perhaps those of you coming in on Friday night might want to converge on Scotsman's hotel with coolers and picnic baskets?

There's got to be something. Even tho' when I go to Faire I come up from the south and don't go into Geneva. I know that over the past few years both the Geneva and Austinburg exits have been getting built up with more businesses. They are only 7 miles apart. Mentor is about 25 miles west of there. In Mentor you can find anything, but I would suggest the Winking Lizard Tavern.
What type of place are we looking for? Something like the Galway Hooker in Carolina? or something different?
Since Jessi is learning how to drive and will take any chance she gets to practice, we will take a trip up that way on Sunday afternoon and see what's there.
The whole area up there is loaded with wineries too.
Yes Quiet One, exactly like the Galway Hooker by CRF (and the same exit as mine castle...heehee).
Wee look forward to your update, God Speed...where do I come up...oh never mind.

Very funny ... Lady Guinness and I will be traveling light ... toothpaste, beer, garb, beer, cooler, beer, toothbrush, beer,
underwear, beer, and lets see ... what are we missing ... did I mention the beer?
Mehan ... I seem to remember us crashing a wedding reception last year at a nice little place ... it is a bit fuzzy for some reason, but the place seemed to be fairly nice ... that was GLMF wasn't it? Hell we were only at 8 faires together last year! I remember that place because of the critique you and Lady Guinness had of the brides gown ... she looked good through my beer goggles!
Beer Goggles...he hee
I called that place (and about 14 others it seems) it will be closed on July 4th
Quiet one is right, though, there are places all around I just wasn't too successful at finding them on line to call. The year we "snuck" up to faire and surprised Morgan and Dwyn we just drove around until we found a pretty cool little place with good beer and food that ended up being about 2 miles from the hotel - but I'll be darned if I can remember the name of it.... sorry!
Okay ... this is what I got ...
My first choice will be closed on the 4th so it is a mute point: Chops Grill & Taphouse (Remember this one Mehan?)
Here are three others to choose from:
Applebee's
3241 North Ridge Road East
Ashtabula, OH 44004
Red Lobster
3013 N. RIDGE RD. EAST
ASHTABULA OH 44004
(440) 998-4944
Ferrante Winery & Restorante,
5585 State Route 307
Harpersfield Township, OH
All are open on the 4th - I called them
Either are good for me ... just let me know what is best for the crew.
Shush... I was going to keep that place a secret!!
I couldn't get an answer at Ferrante's last night - but that is the suggestion I got from the very nice lady I have been dealing with at HoJo's. At least it would be different from something you could do at home...
Why do I seem to have such an opinion, when I won't be there?
Quote from: mehan on June 25, 2008, 03:12:23 PM

I called them yesterday and they said they would be open that evening.
I won't be there Friday night either Mehan, but I have an opinion too. It is this: I don't want to see a bunch of hung over, arse-dragging faire folk on Saturday morning! I seem to recall a group in Pittsburgh last year in a similar state having been to ORF the day before. Not mentioning any names of course.
LOL.
Have fun on Friday and be safe!

8 days, 18 hours, 31 minutes and 39, 38, 37....seconds until....
OPENING WEEKEND!!!! :o
I can't wait!!!! I need huge faire friend hugs!!
Ferrante's gets my vote, something different than what we'd get at home. And I agree, let's keep it mellow...
I will be getting in around 10pm on Friday night....is that too late to join you all?
Ferrante's sounds good to me. What time shall we meet?
They have entertainment on Friday and Saturday night 6:30-9:30pm and close at 10pm.

Awesome ... Ferrante it is. Next week I will pass along my cell number so we can commo together. As for a time, I expect that Lady G and I will get into town early - check into the room - take a nap - so
1800 hrs 6:00ish sounds good to me. What say you?
Arianwyn, Looks like your arrival will be too late if the place closes at 10:00. You should get a good night sleep after your long drive anyway. Opening day looks to be quite the event!
OK...so I guess I should read before I post...
WE WILL SEE YA THERE!

Good! I am glad you guys will be able to make it for dinner Friday evening. This will be a real treat for us.
YeHaw!!!! This time next week [color=purpleWON'T[/color] be at work but on my way to FAIRE.......
Wooty Hoo! (to steal a phrase from Scotsman)
Same here, will be on my way to Faire...
I will shoot for 6:00ish too, gotta drop a pupper dog off in the morrow and then about 9hrs in to the hotel, check-in, organize puppers, yah that should work alright, man that's gonna be an early morn, you guys are so worth it! 8)
I am sooooo anticipating meeting you all in...8 days, 53 minutes and 12, 11, 10....seconds....but I fear Avaloch has NO idea what is in store for it... :o

6ish is good with me. I am off work that day and it will be about a 45 minute drive.

Outstanding ... 6 it is! We will be there with bells on!
Lets make sure everyone on the other GLMF thread knows about this, there are some other folks who have expressed an interest as well. It will be wonderful to see everyone a day early.
I will miss all of you on Friday. Raise a few for me and Be safe. Can't wait to seel you all in the morning.
Alas, thout I will not be with you all, I will be in my happy place and that is "on the way to faire"
So, as you raise your glasses at Ferrante's please know we will be raising our "motel 6 hermetically sealed hot/cold cups" to the rest of you - looking forward to stepping over your sadly hungover bodies the next morning at Faire....
Slainte!
Mehan that is rather assumptious don't you think? I mean we may be hung over but you won't need to step over our bodies, just hold them up! Heehee AHHHHHHHHH in very outloud voice, I am so excited!
Remember all you Friday Arrivee's (? is that even a word?), that you have a veeeery long day ahead of you come Saturday morn. Pacing is everything Mon ami's.
6 days, 2 hours, 36mins, and 10, 9 8 7 6....

I'm planning on debuting the "new" remade green gown opening weekend!! ;)
Lady De La War I am sure that you will look lovely in that new gown of yours.I hope that for next years M'Crack invasion at VARF that you will wear that gown to our faire.
My new Doublet is ready for its debut...I am picking it up on Monday...
See I told Scarlet and Morwyn that opening weekend at GLMF is like Fashion week in New York...lol
mmmmmm.....all this talk of new garb....I just might have to do some shopping!!! Shhhhh....don't tell Scotsman!
DuCouer~ I can not wait to see your new doublet, when you explained it at VARF it sounds stunning. And with such a interesting history! ;)

Ahhh....A Scotsman at a Pub is a very natural event...very suiting from a man of his ancestry don't you think? And I being an Irish lass find men that gather at a pub very cleaver.....for they know the ladies will gather soon to join them!
Oh puh-leeze! Did someone mention garb? Morwyn and I have been frantically debating which items to debut on opening day. So many factors to consider! Never fear. It will definitely be something new!
I am so jealous Scarlet....that's it, its settled...I just have to shop when I get there!! ;D
Watch out folks women shopping is a dangerous event.Especially at a renn faire you never what they will find. ;D
Well, we'll see how far everyone gets with the shopping, especially if opening weekend is like last year when nobody strayed far from the pub. Ah, the power of mead and ale! ;D
Lady Guiness, I will be shopping at Faire too......save up all year, already have a list started ;D
Crap ... where the heck have I been? I go to Celtic Fling for the weekend and all hell breaks out!
DuCoeur, is that doublet made out of the stolen contraband that Lady Guinness and Mehan confiscated in NC?
After shopping of course....

Athena~ yes, I recall knowing the pubs very well last year and I am excited about visiting the rest of the shire...I am told it is beautiful! ;D And Morwyn, your plan is.....brilliant!!!!!
Lady G, you did see quite a bit of our lovely faire. Don't you remember? We passed so much beauty while pub hopping! LOL ;D
Morwyn, I don't remember you shopping, but there are many things from that weekend that are a bit fuzzy! :D
Note to self: Must pace alcohol consumption this year.
Shopping at great lakes is amazing...
Tights, and a doublet, and scents to tantalize the um senses...I spend almost (thats almost) as much shopping as I do at the pub...
Well ok not really...but I have done my share of Shopping. I hope Chantilly is back...can't wait to see her and Dave...And I'm back...
Ok I can barely eat I am so excited...
he he, counting minutes!!!
Cheers!
Ratman & Bobin
SHeez! My idea of shopping is ... which do I want for the next round, Smithwicks OR .... Smithwicks .... Hmmmm, all these decisions .... now that I think about it I did do a bunch of shopping last year ... and boy was it fun!
If you look at it that way Scotsman....we always shop!
Jenny and I have spent the last couple of days out at GLMF, getting the Sherwood stage ready for our "Porter & Stout" performances. I just wanted to tell you that there are sssooo many new things at the festival this year. It's going to be very cool!
I'm looking forward to seeing everyone on Saturday morning.
All my best wishes.
Vinny aka "Droolin' Jack Porter"
Wait....they're not putting a Pirate singing group at the Drift Inn?? Or the Main Pub Stage?
*sigh*
Well...at least you guys will be there...as will we...unless we're all hallucinating...but I think not THAT early in the morning...
*looks sideways towards Scotsman*
Then again.... ::)
Cool!
Just one more reason to get excited about the fast approaching weekend!
