I thought I was a founder... guess not..
What the heck is an Elder?
Apparently I wasn't in the loop I thought I was in
*Taking my rum and going home then...*
OH HUSH TEACH!!!! I just forgot! Not saying I don't luv ya, and not saying you're not a founding member silly. I just scribbled down the names too fast.
So what kind of functions does this group do? Is this mostly just a social network for locals? Of all my faire travels, I have yet to meet and hang out with folks in my area, go figure!
McLotofus was gathered up just because we were all RFers and we all camped together. Now we do Monthy Gatherings, as well as organize mass invasions at the TRF campgrounds.
Can I assume I am already a member??? and I am in Houston ;)
That sounds great! I am planning to be at the Landsharks meet-n-greet at the POW on opening day. Will the McLotofus clan be there then too? It seems to be a crossover of members.
Sidenote: Blue, I think I met you briefly at Scarby this spring. I believe Meg introduced us, but there was a flurry of activity so we didn't say much more than 'hi'.
Can I be a member by proxy?!?! :D
Dragon, yes you are a member... of course
Riot... you may not be a member by proxy, you're a member
The way McLotofus works (or did originally... I assume it still is like this) is that everyone is a member... period
The fun part is that means no one can join because they already belong. Which also brings up interesting conversations like:
Can I Join McLotofus?
Nope.
Why not?
No one can Join.
But I want to be a member!
You already are...
*it's even more confusing when there is rum involved*
Teach, you are exactly right! We do actually encourage McLotofus to spring up in other states as well, the love must be spread. I figure I'd make this list so that we'd have a list of the "active" (as in those who wish to camp with us, and attend gatherings) Texas/Import members. THE MORE THE MERRIER!!!!
Teach is right and yes, it still works that way...if you want to be a member of Clan McLotofus, then you already are!!! Yes! It's that simple!
Likewise, if you don't want to be a member, then your not, although I can't imagine why anyone wouldn't want to be a member...we attend renaissance faires and festivals...we have lots of fun...we have loki and rum...what more could you want??? ;D
RenRobin reporting ...Austin region!
Just sampled some blood orange and cranberry loki this weekend, Oh my was it delish...we are calling it Tiger's Blood!
Well original sin loki and vanilla rum just happen to be some of my favorite things :) i'm thinking i might show up for the gathering this saturday. i will send you a message blue to get the details and what i should bring.
ME ME ME ME!! I want to be one of us!!
See you all soon!!! :-*
Well I was born a Texan and if you ask some *cough * Lady Jessica *cough* I still am!
Well I guess I am kind of an inactive active member in that I have yet to make one of the gatherings, unless you count some of the fun at that nameless festival down here south of Houston.

We count it...besides you don't have to attend any gatherings to be a member! You want to be a member, you're a member!!! ;D
slot me in wherever I belong.
You forgot to add me to the list. You can just stick me on the the bottom, Blue thats ok I sill luv ya!
I'm just adding ppl as they chime in, you know, don't wanna "assume" anything, right??
An (weed puller out of U & Me) that's been done for sure!

You know you can always count me in darling.
Cat fight? My only weapon is my flogger and that not for fightin, but lovin. :P
You can Count Lady Kitara and myself in, though we've never made any of the local gatherings, we do try to make the meet ups at the POW in the village.

I have had many threaten a kidnapping if I don't come home soon..
Well, I think we were there "in the beginning...." -- weren't we? I mean, I feel as if I were... even though we aren;t there all that often....
Yes, If Guinevere is an Original then so am I! YAY! Add Catherine D'Artois and Lord Alejandro, with mistress Ella and Chip the magik dragon to the list :-)
Catfight? I heard there was going to be a catfight?
I'm sure I'll be spending much time with McLotofus in the coming months...gotta have Teach try some of the Romulan Ale
Catfights, flogging on the side, and Loki?
Count me IN!!! ;D
Hey, I'm a member!
I even helped to design the clan badge!
Sign me up! Reaper the Grimm and soon to be Trool the Troll at your service..
Can a boring guy who is as of yet garbless still sign up?

Sorry, you've been a member since at least opening weekend at Scarby. I seem to remember seeing you at TRF last year too. You can't be a newbie if you've been around us that much and that long.
Tis true, I have pictures from '06 at TRF of a certain lady and her boyfriend in a chainmail show....

(http://www.xulphlux.com/photos.php?tpl=photo&m=p&iid=804) And with that outfit you probably did draw a bit of notice to where we can recall you.. :o ;D

The only way for you to not be a member is for the Gnomes to have a rule forbidding membership in other groups, or you choosing not to be a member.

If the gnomes had that rule I'd be breaking it every way to Sunday, lol!
I think I might be considered a founding member, since I did vote for the name, though I've not had a chance to camp with ya'll yet... I will be at TRF every single weekend, but we're staying with friends in their camper, so no promises on actually camping at McLotofus site. We will definetely stop by though and hopefully one of the weekends we'll get to camp near ya'll as well!!
So i cant join, because i'm already there, but i wanna join.....

No initiation...
We can't have 'em because you have to join to be initiated and since you can't join....well
Just show up and start drinking and we'll know you're one of us

And yet another reason I am glad to camp in participants where I can set up camp and leave it set up so that I need not worry about trying to set up camp while being tipsy. ((I just have to worry about FINDING camp again)).

Oh I know, I nearly passed out when I read that.
Teach, darling dearest- Nobody in this group believes that we are better, or over any other member. We are all equal, and we are all important. There are those of the group that take on the responsibility of setting out the camp, organizing the Gatherings, and getting everyone fed and drunk. That's all- that's it. Merely the making of plans and keeping everyone happy! As far as a heirarchy goes, there really isn't one.
*knows we're all just here to drink Teach's rum anyways*
I'm Ready!
I realize I started this litte tangent, but I didn't intend to derail the whole topic. Just wanted to state my feeling on it and move on.
*and no... I didn't leave rum, I said that was my 2 ounces... didn't say what I did with it... which obviously... I drank*
Okay, given that my personal viewpoints started some drama, I have elected to remove the post and any related posts made by me.
Thank you and you may now return to your regularly scheduled madness.

OK... I'm cornfused
I'm pretty sure I licked something in order to become a member of this motley clan. Since mass quantities of ale was consumed, I may have done this purely for the self enjoyment of doing so...but I highly doubt it!
so... was the licking of the... uh, thingy, an initiation? or have I been hood winked :o
(http://www.kingdomofonondaga.com/Onondaga08/images/100_2978_jpg.jpg)
HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
LOL- you fell for that!! Just kidding. The um, uh, "thingie" in question is really just a joke in the clan. There is really no initiation- well, that is, unless the clan gets drunk and realizes that it would be funny to watch the noobs lick stuff that they probably shouldn't.

Teach I'm a rum drinker myself. its about the only thing other than wine and mead I can drink. I don't like beer.
I'll be sure and bring some on All Hallows Eve. Whats your brand of choice?
Mine for simple pleasure is CaptM and Dublin Dr pepper.
I'm a Gold and spiced rum drinker.

Can I keep him?
I pretty much drink any of them with the exception of the nastiness that Zaubon bought (potters.... blech)
Coconut rum is great in Mountain dew (or by itself)
Spiced rums mix with damn near anything sodawise and quite a few others besides (or by themselves)
Dark rums mix well with Coke (or by themselves)
Light rums mix better with clear sodas (or by themselves)
So far I have loved every flavored rum that I have sampled (coconut, pineapple etc etc) with the exception of mango... dunno whats wrong with that mess... but it dont blend well to me
I am a huge fan of pretty much any mixed drink that involves rum, but hurricanes are definitely my fav there
Pyrate is my favorite brand of straight rum
Cap Morgan for spiced rum
Parrot bays for the flavored rums
Bicardi for light rums (their flavored ones are pretty tasty too though)
Those malted drinks by Parrot bay and Bicardi are awesome ways to bring a six pack along to drink
umm... just realized I entered into rum ramblin' mode...
When I say I love rum... I am quite serious lol
Asking me to choose a favorite brand is like asking what air I like to breathe...
*rum, it's not just for breakfast anymore*
I realize that this may not be the proper thread and apologize ahead of time, but our group (drunken monkey clan) intends to camp next weekend (all hallows eve) and will have 8 people and three RVs. We are interested in McLoftus. Would there be any interest in having us camp with or near McLoftus to use the RVs to help screen the camp from the drunken Ravers?
Of course you can be with/near us!
And having a camper to block the sound of the ravers is a fantastic bonus
Realistically, with you and Capt. Sin's RVs that would be enough to seriously protect our area well.
Um... next weekend isn't All Hallows Eve however, it's weekend after next (25th & 26th)... or is that what you meant?
*Drunken Monkeys... that has to mean you bring rum right?*
Stracc, Speaking only for myself if it drowns out the boom boom boom chigy boom boom chingy boom I'll be glad to camp near ya.
I was in iraq for allmost 3 years so I'm used to generators. All Hallows Eve is the weekend end after next right?
Aye - we will bring rum!!! ....and bannanas
I did mean the 24th - just a little ineloquent in my writing of it.
Stracc go to the post 'Roll call for Clan Mclotofus." and let blue know how many people to expect.
You will be shocked at how quiet our generators are! I promise

See you at camp!
*Claps loudly* I DO BELIEVE IN FAIRIES!!!!
I'm not sure exactly where we'll be setting up the camper this weekend, but I do promise to stop by the McLotofus camping area and say 'ello!
I may end up coming out to faire solo this Saturday. Still considering our options.

Teach I'm a rum drinker myself. its about the only thing other than wine and mead I can drink. I don't like beer.
I'll be sure and bring some on All Hallows Eve. Whats your brand of choice?
Mine for simple pleasure is CaptM and Dublin Dr pepper.
I'm a Gold and spiced rum drinker.
Can I keep him?
I pretty much drink any of them with the exception of the nastiness that Zaubon bought (potters.... blech)
Coconut rum is great in Mountain dew (or by itself)
Spiced rums mix with damn near anything sodawise and quite a few others besides (or by themselves)
Dark rums mix well with Coke (or by themselves)
Light rums mix better with clear sodas (or by themselves)
So far I have loved every flavored rum that I have sampled (coconut, pineapple etc etc) with the exception of mango... dunno whats wrong with that mess... but it dont blend well to me
I am a huge fan of pretty much any mixed drink that involves rum, but hurricanes are definitely my fav there
Pyrate is my favorite brand of straight rum
Cap Morgan for spiced rum
Parrot bays for the flavored rums
Bicardi for light rums (their flavored ones are pretty tasty too though)
Those malted drinks by Parrot bay and Bicardi are awesome ways to bring a six pack along to drink
umm... just realized I entered into rum ramblin' mode...
When I say I love rum... I am quite serious lol
Asking me to choose a favorite brand is like asking what air I like to breathe...
*rum, it's not just for breakfast anymore*
ROTFLMAO!!! Teach, you really crack me up! ;D

Me either... too bitter
Give me brewed cider any day!
Or meade... or rum... or even a tasty wine
;D
I can drink beer.But it tears my stomach up for some reason. And it puts me into sleepy mode. And I is no funs when I'm tired.

How about just a vacation home there then my Love?
We can get one there... one in Mexico and one in Scotland
if we win the lottery
If not... we can just stay here and visit the others occasionally
Tanyor and Rani... I honestly did not like beer at all before meeting the Lovely Lady Trinn she then taught me that what I didn't like was crap beer. The good stuff (not expensive, just good) is harder to locate but really is good beer. Come see us at camp and we can show ya the difference (or Killian... he is as much a beer snob as anyone).
First rule I learned... good beer does not come from a can (yes Molden... I am looking at you lol).
*I can still get rum in Mexico right?*
Yeah they have castillo's rum. its spelled something like that.
I was a beer snob, but with in the last year, I just cant fathom to drink it.
I can't stomach beer either, with the rare exception of a home brew or Guinness and only them if I'm in the right mood.

Well... I spent 9 years in Boulder CO, home of Lefthand Brewing Co. and Fat Tire, as well as many other fine micro-breweries, but I just never did acquire a taste for the stuff, not even imports. I'm more into the slightly sweet, little tart type of adult beverage...
But I'd love to drop by for a tot of rum sometime!

Awww, love you too Teach!
Yeah, I've been on a mission to find a beer my wife will enjoy. I think this may be my hopeless quest, but why not, gives me a reason to sample more! If you like fruity try a Lambic - I believe lindemans is a good brand from belgium and their rasberry was very good. Confused me as I am a big ale drinker, and I could not get over the DEEP red fluid in my glass was anything related to beer, but by the brewing gods, its got malted barely soooo...eh. It was a refreshing beverage with the sweetness and tartness you may be seeking. I know they also have a peach lambic, yet to try that one.
Actually, the Peach Lambic is my favorite! Mix that equal parts with pear cider and you have a drink called "Sweet B*tch"!! Yum!!
Hmm, cider and i are still trying to come to terms with each other. I had one long ago, and it rated right up there with lima beans and brussel sprouts as far the "like h3|| i am having that again!"
But, in that quest for a wife friendly brew (ok cider isnt beer, i know), tried a peach cider, and that was quite nice. Might try the pear and someday, maybe, probably not soon, another apple.

I wasn't impressed with cider either, Killian...untill I found DRY cider.... ;D...that changed the playing field a bit...
oh yeah... did I forgot to mention the DRY part...
oopsplease disregard previous shrillness... ;D
Aye, it was a dry cider i enjoyed. Strongbow was the original offender. Never shall it be forgiven.
but then that does go back to teach's comment about drinking crap from a can....
No...I don't do swill from a can....but I've found a brand of dry cider in a bottle...can't recall the brand name but the bottle was green....helpful, ain't I. haha
O do believe that Woodchuck come in a dry cider in a green bottle.
Try some Blackthorn, or maybe some Cross Bow, or even Woodpecker (little sweeter, but still considered dry), but leave the Woodchuck in the bottle!
If you can get your hands on some English Strongbow, count yourself lucky!
Hello everyone. I just thought I would introduce myself. I am a friend of Eloquent XI. I found out about renaissance fairs a couple years ago and I have only been to Scarborough but I plan on changing that.
Welcome Almare!

Welcome Almare, you've stumbled upon a great group of
degenerates lively fairgoers here. I'm sure you'll feel
drunk right at home in no time! Have a great time!
Ok Blue, you can now officially call me Gullible... I totally clicked on your internet link.... U know it's not taken just in case ya'll WANT to make your own site.. haha!
Don't feel bad I did as well!
*falls over, pointing and lauging*
Man, you guys sure know how to make my day!
I will call "Fourth" to click the link.
BTW blue I don't really know you, But I don't think I like you.. :P
I might have been the first to click it, since I posted not long after she did, but I wasn't gonna mention it... until everyone started confessing!
ROFL
I've adjusted the link.......

Yes. Its weird calling you eloquent. Btw I must confess I clicked the link as well haha. I would love to visit TRF some time but sadly college leaves me on a tight budget and gas prices are not nice. So we will have to see.
So, hitch a ride with Eloquent. She's coming down at least one more weekend.

welcome and we look forward to meeting you at TRF
For those of you camping with McLotofus this weekend (All Hallow's Eve), I shall have a shower enclosure with a Zodi hot shower. If you wish to partake in a hot shower, I would ask that you bring two or three gallons of water to contribute to the reservoir.

Greetings All!
I was referred over to this most excellent thread by the apparent rum lover Teach from the TRF Camping sticky...
...and seeing how I must be a default member, as I cannot 'officially join', I hope to join in the fun and debauchery will you all this weekend! :o
Myself and 5 others are camping for the first time at the TRF this All Hallow's Eve weekend and hopefully a couple of us will be arriving Friday night, with the others following suit Saturday morning.
MacLaren said there should be plenty of room for our 1 (8-person) tent, so if this happens to be the case when I arrive around 7:30 or 8 PM, do I need to 'check in' of sorts with someone in particular, or should I just tell random McLotofus'ers that we were referred over from RF.com, and just plop down somewhere within the pink and green tapes?
we will definitely have booze on hand and perhaps even some 'welcome bottles' for all to pass around... and hopefully i can acquire a fire pit as well... but, does anyone have suggestions for the best types of food to bring? i'm sure we'll eat a lot at the faire itself, but that most assuredly will not hold us over throughout the night(s).
Many thanks for any advice ;D

*will sign up at the McLotofus Camping thread momentarily*
Gonz- Welcome!!!
When your group arrives at camp on Friday, please come and find me. Because of the record numbers of this camp, I've had to be a bit of a Nazi about tent placement. We most definitely can find room for you!
As far as food is concerned, we have a camp cook. Donations, while not mandatory, are VERY MUCH SO ACCEPTED!!! I will add you to the list in the other thread.
What is required to be a member? I do not live in TX just yet but am planning on moving to Beaumont soon. I have briefly met only a few of you at faire, and have yet be able to camp (usually I have to leave Saturday night to drive back and be at work). If I cannot be a member I would at least like to get to know more of you better then just a smiple "Hi".
You're a member already lady Abigail.
Technically speaking, anyone who wants to be a member is a member... and therefore no one can join... because they already are members
Clear as mud?
*mmmm clear rum is nice too*
yeah, i was going to post something like teach did, but then felt far too sober for such an explanation.
Thank you both. I hope to see all at faire! I'll try to meet any of you there but sometimes I can be a little shy until I get to know you a bit.
I have been out of pocket way too long! Anyway here is a link to my TRF pic's.

Hey do you guys have room for one more in your clan cause I would love to join.Just tell me what I have to do and I will be happy to oblige.
Bring Rum, lots of Rum.
Did I get that right Teach? ;D
I found the most WONDERFUL RUM... it's called Railean Reserve XO... micro distilled in San Leon, Texas. It beats any rum I have EVER had and that includes Tortuga....
Just n time for pirate weekend.... mmmmmmm..... I WILL be making a rum cake AND RUM BALLS for CELTIC CHRISTMAS WEEKEND!!!
Taarna, We might need a test run for Pirate weekend....
I might could do that Catherine. Providing time and finances allow....We'll see. I will be bringing my loki, I came up with a very nice cream recipe that is delightful on the palet, and my son made a strawberry loki... it is very good as well.
a bottle of Absinthe (Green Faerie) will also be making the journey. ;)
HUbby just finished hemming my new cloak for this weekend! YAY! I forgot to include a loki pouch.... eek...
I shall have to agree with Sir Moostifer, there indeed was much ale consumed at the Feast of Onondaga and if memory serves me correct there was in fact kissing involved as the Clan of McLotofus and the Kingdom of Onondaga exchanged memberships for all in attendance on that "night of the full moon" - HUZZAH!

Hi... my wife and I will be coming to TRF for our first time (yes... TRF VIRGINS) for the Highland Weekend and we were planning on camping (well a futon matress in the back of an SUV... no camping gear) fri, sat & sun.
After finding and reading this post I'm wondering where would be the best place for us NEWBIES? We're late 30's, love to meet new people, have fun, have a few drinks... we're not wanting the Ultra Quiet section or the Goth Headbanging section (not that there is anything wrong with either of those... I was in a touring rock band for 20 years) Just looking for good, kind down to earth folk to hang out with and enjoy our "First Time"
We live in Waxahachie and just recently went back to Scarby after about 20 years (I worked there way back in 84-85) and we just fell in love with "Ren" all over again, in fact I've become addicted to making faire garb.
So... any suggestions for us... we don't take up anymore room than 1 small SUV?
Thanks,
Eric

Lady Kitara and I will be camping that weekend. I don't know if the rest of Clan Procrastination will be there or not. If not, we will probably throw in with whoever is there from McLotofus. And I know by past post that they are happy to make room for anyone who wants a place to throw up a tent (or park an SUV) and share in some good laughs and good times. And if no one from McLotofus is there that weekend, then you're more than welcome to throw in with us where ever we end up that weekend.
Michael
KiltedPrivateer and Doublet: I'll be out with a few friends that weekend. I don't believe there is an offical McLotofus camp that weekend, but I will try to get the same area (row 8-9)...feel free to join, there won't be that many of us, the more the merrier!
Nothin wrong with small, close and cozy (o:
Oh hell, lets go ahead and make it official kinda- at least for Pyrate and Highland Fling weekends. I'll be out there, so we're gonna need a landgrabber for Friday afternoon, a firepit + wood, and a decision on camp food....

Give Lightlord half a chance, and a bad cross wind and we might get flaming balls! ;D I think this is the reason he was dubbed the Flaming Bonsai.
I don't know how to make faerie balls, so I will leave that you you, but the rum balls are in the works now. YUMMY!

ok... We'll be on the lookout for y'all... we will be getting there fri late afternoon / early evening... what area should we be looking around?
hope it's not to cold that weekend... it was like 31 degrees this morning around Waxahachie (good thing my doublet is leather)

Yeah, but when it comes to rum, teach isn't all that into equality... LOL
Okay then simple solution teach can have the rum and we can have the chocolate.
Teach won't be there this weekend so I think your safe (for now) ;)
RUM... I'm not a real big fan of rum, unless it's coconut rum with cranberry and pinapple juice... don't think i could down it straight... I'm more of a Jagemeister guy... (I know alot of folks think it's gross... but it's the one thing that doesn't make me *yack*)
I dunno Doublet. I USUALLY do not drink alcohol straight unless it is Scotch or Bourbon of course, as I do not like the taste of alcohol, and have NEVER drank straight rum .... until NOW... You simply MUST try this Railean Reserve XO! I had to buy two more bottles this afternoon as the first bottle we bought to try.... ummm... well.... evaporated. ;D
In any case I am sure you will like the loki. Jaeger....eesh.... taste like cough syrup to me.
I may not have time to make the other batch of rum balls like I wanted to, so ya'll are gonna have to play nice and share. :P
Doublet... you just haven't met many good rums yet. Trust me, there are as many varieties of rum as there are varieties of flowers. But rum tastes much better than flowers....
Taarna, I can't wait to take a taste of the new rum you have found. I hope it is as least half as nice as you make it sound!
And now, I must take offense to the above posts
Dragonspyre, I am completely fair and totally willing to share
*I can just take one mug full of rum and he can have the rest. Very fair.*
Ahh Teach, I am pretty confident you will definately like. This is high quality, micro distilled... not mass produced... the rum I had in Jamaica and Cayman Islands can't hold a candle to this stuff.
Y'all all have it wrong...TEQUILA is the drink you have straight! Seriously.... ;D

My Hatchet Sister is Coming to TRF!!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey all!
My Hatchet Sister from Oklahoma is coming to TRF for Barbarian Invasion and I wanted to introduce you all to her here. We are part of the Order of the Hatchet which is a female order based on the historical order from Spain, 1149. A brief history below:
Don Raymond, last Earl of Barcellona (who by intermarriage with Petronilla, only Daughter and Heir of King Ramiro the Monk, united that principality to the Kingdom of Aragon) having in the year 1149, gained the City of Tortosa from the Moors, they on the 31 of December following, laid a new siege to that place, for the recovery of it out of the Earls hands. The inhabitants being at length reduced to great straights, desired relief of the Earl, but he, being not in a condition to give them any, they entertained some thoughts of making a surrender. Which the women hearing of, to prevent the disaster threatening their city, themselves, and children, put on mens clothes, and by a resolute rally, forced the Moors to raise the siege.
The Earl, finding himself obliged by the gallantry of the action, thought fit to make his acknowlegements thereof, by granting them several privileges and immunities, and to perpetuate the memory of so signal an attempt, instituted an Order, somewhat like a military order, into which were admitted only those brave women, deriving the honor to their descendants, and assigned them for a Dadge, a thing like a Fryars Capouche, sharp at the top, after the form of a torch, and of a crimson colour, to be worn upon their head-clothes. He also ordained, that at all public meetings, the women should have precedence of the men. That they should be exempted from all taxes, and that all the apparel and jewels, though of never so great value, left by their dead husbands, should be their own.
Below is RedFox's intro to the forum. Please stop by and say hello to her and I can't wait for you all to meet my Hatchet Sister!!!

Thank you Lady Ann certianly gives me something else to look forward to.
It was great hanging with ya'll a bit Sat night!! Thanks for the warm fire, the warm welcomes, and the warm hugs!! You guys ROCK as always!
I suppose this post is a little late in coming, but better late than never-right?
Blue has already decided Dennis & I are McLotofus- not that I would have it any other way.
So, here we are standing up to be counted. And we shall be camping Thanksgiving Thursday-Sunday, hopefully right next to Blue. *evil grin* Just beware, we have floggers and like to use em! *bigger evil grin*
Well, we will actually be there Wednesday night if they are gonna let us in that early. If not, Blue and I have decided we'll park the pop up on the side of the road instead!
Oh, and Im workng at Moonbeams Saturday (near Tortuga- greek section)- so say hi if you stop in. (look for the buxom redhead who will most likely be covered in Lovely Lady Iris's Paints!)
HUZZAH!
Cant wait!
Ya can't parks next to Blue Lishy! That's my spot! :'( I has to get my morning flash or I'm no good all day! ;D
Er, she has 2 sides doesnt she? And I wouldnt worry overmuch- Im in a camper, yall are in tents, so Im sure Ill be back a bit.

*you brought rum right?*
Hey,
I'm confused bout the whole McLotofus thing.... can someone explain to me how if everyone is a member, there are people who are not allowed in the camping area? that doesn't make any sense to me? are there rules to this organization? a list of good people and a list of bad? who makes the rules? do u vote on them?
rumy
I've never heard it said that there is anyone that is not allowed in the McLotofus camp. And since everyone is a member, everyone is welcome to join McLotofus at camp. Its seems though that "Everyone" should be defined as faire goers, and the immediate friends and family of faire goers. "Everyone" would include anyone that frequents message boards such as this; anyone who buys a ticket and enters the gates of a faire; anyone who works inside a faire; and in some small cases anyone who enjoys camping outside the faire for the pure enjoyment of the company of the above mentioned "anyone's". Without a definition you end up with what we programmers call and infinite loop. In this case a loop of confusion.
Its not practical to consider the entire TRF campground as McLotofus because there are those who don't want to be a member [Even though as defined above, they already are (o: ] So, just like every other clan out there (mine included), borders are designed to keep the clan safe and happy. But as other threads have pointed out, everyone in that campground is Fairemily (Thanks Taarna). And just like there is a fence between your house and your neighbors house (in my case to keep my dog contained) it doesn't mean that there is no relationship there. We are all still neighborly, and we all watch out for each other and we all protect the borders of our neighbors and we protect our neighbors property (Thanks Brigaqueen and Joe Horn).
To some degree there has to be control over who is in your campsite. How else can you feel safe leaving your campsite, gear, clothes, valuables (which if truly valuable should be locked up anyway) and other personal belongings behind unattended all day? Granted you can't build a wall and post a sentry (wouldn't that be awesome though - mini campground kingdoms) So we keep our family and friends close and those who have not made themselves known as members of the clan we keep an eye on (o:
Shun no one, but be smart! And good gawd I hope I don't stir up a hornets nest with this reply. But anyone please feel free to correct me if my perception is skewed.

*deep breath*
The is no one who is not allowed in the camping area as far as I know.
There are also no rules, there is planning for events... but no rules... ever
No voting ever either except on a general invasion weekend and even then its more planning when the most of us can be in one spot at once
As far as I know no one has ever been turned away from our campsite as long as they introduced themselves. We have had to get a few to move along because they were only there to either steal or mooch but that is a rare case... and it isn't like we took names so if they want to come back they can of course.
McLotofus is a group without boundaries and without drama. We were made mostly to give a name to the crowd from here that camps together anyways but have grown to include anyone who just doesn't want to camp alone.
I am a member of many groups out there, and they all have different rules of what to do and who is allowed where etc etc. McLotofus does not.
We do not have a "good" and "bad" list (with the possible exception of the dreaded ravers) and quite honestly I personally would drop out of the group so fast it would make your head spin if I even heard of such a thing (and several others would to I would bet).
McLotofus was named as it was in an effort to show that we are anyone and everyone at faire. If you want to be in the group... you are. It's really as simple as that. We have never and will never kick anyone out because you would have to have broken a rule in order to be removed... and since there are no rules... no way to be kicked out.
We take pride in NOT being exclusive. Many groups are exclusive, you have to do this or act like that or whatever to be in the group. We do not operate on that level. This is not a clique, this if fairmily and just like your real family you do not get to choose who is in it. You may have a bad seed or two (seven in my family) but they are still family. We are fairmily and we accept everyone (even a raver who needs a home... shudder).
It isn't often I type long posts like that, but this group means a lot to me... and having it stay on course means even more.
[edit] Michael, we don't claim the entire campground as members (as far as I know). Everyone for us is defined more as "anyone who wants to join... is a member".[/edit]
*ok... need rum now... whew*
THanks for the quick reply....
My friends and i were planning on staying with McLotofus for this weekend festivities. You know the 4 of us: lis, charles, lady elizabeth, and myself. We stopped by and met many of you on various nights. There's also another rennie friend who has a booth at Four Winds that is bring down his camper and wanted to stay near us also. So we were hoping yall would include 2 campers in the mix for this weekend. We are all nice, friendly, and sharing rennies.
But I am friends with ALL rennies.... and not all rennies like other rennies sometimes, sad as that may be. These other rennies that are not liked are NOT staying with us, but might come to visit for a few min one nite.... What i can promise is that NO drama will be started by me or my other 4 that are camping there.... no doubt bout that!! We are all planning on bring food and drinks to share with everyone. My sister and I will belly dance, and my friends will bring good cheer....
if other rennies i know stop by unannounced to visit me, i would hate for them to be thrown out!! that would make me very sad. i am not exclusionary in my friendships. but i'm a terribly loyal friend when someone is mean to someone i love.
No, no one will be asked to leave. If we don't know someone we will likely ask them who they are looking for and then direct them along their way. If their way is to your camper... then thats where we will send them.
Honestly, I think the being thrown out would be more like when my cousin Kent comes to visit. As long as he acts right he is welcomed as family, when he gets drunk and belligerent he gets asked to leave. Next day he gets to come back and try again.
As long as anyone is there we only ask they behave as we would when we invite someone into our house. And as far as them not being liked... that is an person by person individual thing and as long as they don't aggravate the individual then there is nothing to worry about.
Fair enough?
*and if they bring rum, I am happy to invite them lol*
I guess I went the wrong direction with my post as I focused on the campsite side of things and not so much on the "clan".
So - Yeah, what Teach said (o:
Since others are commenting I'll throw my two cents in.
I'm a grumpy old man. There are lots of people that I don't much care for personally.
That being said, I've never turned anyone away from my table or our campsite because I didn't like them. I have asked some to move along because of their actions, but never because of my preferences. Show up at our camp, introduce yourself and don't start a lot of drama or belligerence and you are more than welcome. Eat Drink and be Merry! One extra caveat, we are a family camp, if the activity is adult oriented keep it out of site of the kiddies. (including the ones riding by on the road) There I think I've stated the rules, at least the only ones that I will say anything about.
*gets up on her soapbox and bangs a tin can with a fork*
I personally have been known to have issues with some people out there. Who hasn't? I do on occassion request that some do not associate with me, just so that there is no drama, and no issues, and no injuries due to people being thrown into the campfire LOL.
That being said, I know how my fellow clanmates are, and how wonderful and welcoming they tend to be towards everyone. I will take the higher road and be as they are. Hopefully that's enough to make sure that my fairemily is safe, secure, and content.
*steps down off the soapbox and prays that the clan doesn't throw ME into the fire*
;) Now THAT would be wasteful,Blue!!
Add us to the list blue. We will come park at the site early Sat morning and go to fair with you all and then come back by camp and hang out on Saturday after fair. We are not camping yet, but we intend to do so next year when the youngest is just a wee bit older. I was just planning on bringing food for our family since we are not camping the night for the kids Saturday night dinner. I am not trying to look like we are too good to eat with you, I just know how hard it is to plan for so many people having done it many times before myself. See you all on Saturday.
there might be a last minute add on for myself, just one person, but they have not confirmed with me so i'm not really expecting them to come, but you never know...
In all honesty, there are some people that I do not want associate with our clan or even with our forums. But I will keep those personal problems to myself unless problems arise.
Come and be merry! :) And enjoy everyone for me. And an alcoholic drink for Element since she doesn't drink 'em!
Oh oh can the Vampy join giggles I had so much fun hanging down with you all this weekend I think my camp forgot I was even at TRF till I popped in now and again to show I was alive and well *evil grin*
I have so much catching up to do on this board lol. Hey maybe I can carpool with Teach and Trin lol to these gatherings you speak off we can all save gas roflmao wait that can soo be taken out of context *evil grin*
I'm sorry Vampy you cannot join as you are already a member of McLotofus
And if we ever get to go to one... you are of course welcome to ride along!
*as long as you bring rum...*
Well I finally stopped lurking around the forums and registered.
I don't know if y'all remember me...I'm NightWolf's (Spikey, as I love to call him) wenchie. I was in piratewear most of the time and usually found hovering near my Spikey, or the "top shelves" of you lovely wenches :-*
I believe I also have been dubbed: Tatas, Bebos, "Nice Legs", and a few other names that usually pertained to my merchandise ;). I think I must have earned about 4 or 5 nicknames the weekend I was there (Final weekend Thurs-Sun); but rum and mead tend to backspace a lot of my memory!
I just wanted to say I had a blast and have never felt more at home than I did with McLotofus.
I really appreciate all the warm welcomes I received as a newbie at camp and I have never met a more friendly, fun, and all around awesome bunch at Faire!
I don't know if this is too late, considering Faire is over, but I'd love to join the MCL Fairmily! I didn't know if perhaps McLotofus throws additional meetups or goes to Scarby, etc, but I just thought I'd drop in and say howdy!
Thanks so much for helping my time at Faire be the best ever!
:)
-Phx
Sorry you can't join.
You're already a member. The memebrship requirements are a desire to be a member and an agreement not to bring violence or excessive drama.
* wonders if she could join the clan next year *
If everything goes my way I'll be in TX for TRF next fall.
;D No you cannot join, you are already a Winner :o........Uuuh .....member! ::)
Better Winner than Whiner Martin. ;D
Those who know me know I do my best to run the other way when Drama rears it's ugly head I hate it. Life is about enjoying each day for what you can and making memories that last a life time. Or at least until the next circle starts and end and you sit around wondering where the heck you know that person from. *looks around for DS and grins*
I think that is what I loved most about being at your camp this past weekend and hanging out it was what I missed about fair no drama just people hanging out and having fun as it should be.
SNuggles and Thanks for the welcome.
Vampy feels silly for not reading this topic more and realizing the mere want is all it takes to belong. I like that all that induction squire bs is just that more drama lol. I am Still reading through this thread. Man I am so glad I am taking a break from school lol. Gives me time to catch up some on the board.

Yeah, thats kinda how it went opening weekend too. Unfortunately, with the all the colds going around this year, we were only able to camp out twice. Otherwise you would have seen more of us. I think we're gonna try to camp out more next year. And with any luck we'll have our ship back. Well, the decking anyway.

Yes I had a blast with y'all; I never knew how fun my fellow Rennies could be till I camped with you McLotofems! woot!
I will try my very best to make it to Scarby; if it is a weekend thing then I will definitely be able to make at least one or two of them! 8)
Sometimes I wish Faire were year round but then my liver probably couldn't handle that much rum/loki/mead all the time! lol
;D
I caught a glimps of camping at TRF and next year I'm going to make it a point to camp, I hear about the fun now I want to join in! So Umm.. got more room for me to fix?
I'm McLotofus. Had a great time meeting a lot of you all in person this weekend. I can't wait to start camping next year.
I guess after reading part of the threads that I am a member. yeah me!! ;D

Well, we try to do something once a month... Talk to blue, she usually is the one with the ideas on McLotofus gatherings.
EDIT: And don't you DARE change that avatar! LOL
Memoree and I (Jonathan) would like to join up. Do we have to have RF'er names? Memoree can't think of any right now and I have a few ideas.
Also, we had a blast meeting and hanging out with everyone in the clan and hope to meet up again.
U.S.Marines. OOOHH-RAAHHH!!!

I just love that about McLotofus....confusing to some... they do not have to join; just reading and posting here you have already joined... LOL!

Dragon, yes you are a member... of course
Riot... you may not be a member by proxy, you're a member
The way McLotofus works (or did originally... I assume it still is like this) is that everyone is a member... period
The fun part is that means no one can join because they already belong. Which also brings up interesting conversations like:
Can I Join McLotofus?
Nope.
Why not?
No one can Join.
But I want to be a member!
You already are...
*it's even more confusing when there is rum involved*
Wow! Deja Vu! That sounds just like the conversation you and Trinn had with me at the last gathering. Of course, there was rum involved, lots of rum. lol.
Besides, you've partied with some of us. You definately can't join.

One of the bestest parts of McLotofus is watching people try to join
*that and the rum... there's lots of rum in the group too*
Are there any gatherings around Houston?
There's a New Year's Eve party tomorrow.
I know. But due to prior engagements I am unable to attend :( Plus, cant find a babysitter :( :(
I'm going to host one in February. I live towards the fair between 2920 and 1488.
Great let me know when. It's on the other side of Houston for me, but I will try to make arrangements to come.
Our parties are worth the trip. I normally won't go outside the loop, except for faire and clan parties.
I will really ahve to try and make it then.

Ma'am, Ivy Maccay, reporting for duty as ordered, ma'am.
Bivouacked in Houston, Texas.
And since it's entirely likely I'll take a year off participant-hood next year, I'm going to need some folks to camp with!!
Oh, if I only knew of some open-minded, welcoming group of freaks at faire to take me in...
Oh sweet nibbletts Ivy... pleasure to finally see you here.

...we have a list of people in McLotofus???
That is one long list...
I believe we may be the only group that has no idea who or how many members we have lol
And... I don't think I would have it any other way
*That list is longer than the list of rums in my garage!*
Um, did anyone actually look at the front page?!?!?
See, that's the thing. If you WANT to be in McLotofus, you're in McLotofus. BUT!!!!!- You have to let someone know that you want to be here! I mean really, what's the point of being in a clan if nobody else knows you're there LOL?
Ooh... that's almost approaching zen!
If a clan gets drunk in the middle of the woods, but runs out of alchohol and there's no one around with more, does it still get a hangover in the morning?
Yes, and they will still get robbed by strippers...

So, this is the post showing the members of Clan McLotofus? Is there one for what events are approaching? For Clan Gatherings, is ren-faire clothing worn?
Only dues are rum for Teach, I believe... (unless you wanna bring some for the rest of us, also... ;D )

This is the Roster of Clan McLotofus. All gatherings are posted seperately, and info is always given about garb or not. Most of the time, they're just non-garbed events, but a kilt is ALWAYS acceptable.
*gets her mini-leafblower and shoe mirrors ready for kilt hunting season*
As far as dues are concerned, LOL, we really just prefer that you kick into the clan, especially when camping with us out at TRF. But all that in due time...

Excellent! Thanks!

Thank you for pointing that out Blue. I never noticed it before. When I get home from work I will be on :)
HEY!!! Watch it with that leaf blower lass!! You might....I'm not going there.....
What?
Any chance there will be a McLotofus outting to Fourwinds this year or Scarby? I'd love to know when it is if there is... I'll be attending both fairs, but not every single weekend. I miss my McLotofus friends!!
There are meet and Greets, but no weekend has ever been firmly decided on for a ML renvasion of Scarby. Last I heard, opening weekend was leading the pack for most members now though.
*I'll be there whenever the rum starts flowing...*
Opening weekend at Fourwinds is going to be a big party for sure with a bonfire and all, I'm sure there will be rum and good company!!
I think it looks like opening weekend at Scarby will be a pretty packed house for forum members by the look of the thread.
Hopefully there will be a few who make it for Closing, also, so I can finally put some hugs together with faces!!!
*sniff* *sniff* *sniff*
I guess no one bothered to add me to the list... :'( ;)
You have to add yourself to the list, and you just did.
I wont be making opening weekend of Scarby :'( But not that I have a new job hopefully I can hit mid season some time before the heat takes over and makes the place unbearable lol.
Hugs all and hope to see you there.
me!
Oh, and I hope to see everyone at opening Scarby.

I've been looking for the right group of fools that would'nt mind another village idiot.
I like rum but scotch is me personal poison!
Hmmmm... Lady Blue, are ye out there, lass? I applied to the ML forum last week and haven't heard anything...
Goodness honey, I'm sorry. I'll see about contacting Lady Ann about this, she's our lovely site admin. Maybe you could shoot her a renmail letting her know that your login hasn't been approved yet.
That being said, welcome to Clan McLotofus. Don't forget to bring me either loki or chocolate!!!
*just kidding.... or am I?*
How about some good swiss chocolate and a wee dram of real whisky?
I'm not sure about the recipe for Loki but i can give it a whirl... ;D
THANK YOU!

Oh there is an initiation. There have even been a few candidates that survived it.
If you have a facebook account be sure to become a fan of Clan McLotofus. I try to keep the events listed on there too.
But as always this and the Clan forum are the official means of communication.

Please remove our names from the roster
We are no longer members of McLotofus

I would very much so appreciate it if someone else could take over the roster thread. I'm no longer in a position to keep up with it. Any takers?

I know I am new to the clan and all but hey I really enjoy having a duty and being involved.
I was just messing with you, Shawn. :D It's really cool that you stepped up.
Yes, thank you so much Shawn! Although, methinks that may not be necessary at the moment. I'll be around for just a bit longer LOL.
I have a very important announcement...
At this moment, there is a massive restructuring and reformation of this clan happening. We have grown to a size where official leadership and rules are necessary for the group to function the way we need it to. We began in RF, as a very small group of people that enjoyed faire. We have added to our ranks by leaps and bounds over the past 2 years, and see that now is the time to get some more organization and improve the foundation.
Due to the restructuring, as well as the fact that our numbers are beginning to make it difficult to find a camp big enough, we are officially closing open membership to McLotofus. As soon as there is a membership process in place, as well as an established heirarchy and board, we will post any pertinent information to the current membership. This is not a notice that we will not have any new members, just not at the time being. Current members are still just that, our wonderful members.
Remember, we love you all. This is not an end, but the beginning of something great!
I cant always come to events. But let me know if you need help some where, I will help with what I can.

Alas, this saddens me greatly. We care changing the one thing that made McLotofus different than all of the other clans. I do not know or pretend to understand the logistics involved but I can not help feel that this decision could be the beginning of the end. I humbly request this decision be reconsidered.

There has to be leadership in any organization. A group without direction and leadership is bound to fail. People are going to have to step up to help organize events, get information out about the clan happenings, organize the campgrounds, manage the logistics of camp space, food, etc., and all the other myriads of things that are involved in having successful outings. A majority of people are happy with just showing up and having a good time, but it takes effort to make sure that happens and that the work gets done where no one person is taken advantage of. Everyone should pull his/her own weight, but we know this rarely happens.
At some point, this group would become too large to manage. There will eventually reach a breaking point if we do not carefully consider how large we can be without needing further organization and potentially breaking the group into smaller factions to handle logistics on better attended weekends/gatherings.
I really think the RF group itself is what Mclotofus represents. A group of people with similiar interests meeting to talk and hang out at the fair. RF represents what Mclotofus was created to do, but RF doesn't have to manage all the logistics of a camp ground and the other events that take place. I know some people do not like the idea of leadership, but that is unrealistic. Anarchy has never and will never work. If you all want the group to have staying power, changes will need to be made.

I am aware of the leadership problem and that is not what saddens me. It is the ending of open membership. That was singularly the main difference between McLotofus and the others.

Teach is right and yes, it still works that way...if you want to be a member of Clan McLotofus, then you already are!!! Yes! It's that simple!
Likewise, if you don't want to be a member, then your not, although I can't imagine why anyone wouldn't want to be a member...we attend renaissance faires and festivals...we have lots of fun...we have loki and rum...what more could you want??? ;D
Ah, the good old days....
Well on the note of needing people to help out or to assign tasks to I would like to take this opportunity to offer my help in any way needed, weather it be setting camp or any other needs I would be more than happy to help. Just let me know what is needed and I will do my best to accomodate said needs.
Shawn
Thanks for all the offers everyone! As soon as we get the schematics nailed down, I'm sure we'll need all the help we can get. I'll keep everyone posted!
Why can't we just become a disorganized, anarchic, rabble running around in disarray and confusion, crying for representation and more whisky? Why do things have to be perfect!?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, we tried that. There were almost scortch marks at row 8 LOL. Things don't have to be perfect, of course. But we can definitely strive for alcoholic excellence!
*snortgiggle*
Well.....ok, but I'm NOT wearing a tie!!!
I guess I missed all the excitement, but I'm sure it will work out! I have been busy with my own ongoing issues lately, and have not been as involved or "in the loop" as I might like. As much as I generally don't care for 'rules', I recognize that some guidlines and leadership are gonna be required to keep our clan moving in a direction that will enhance our enjoyment of it, solidify our identity, and present a positive image of the clan to others. I'm happy to be part of McLotofus, and will help out if I can.
Conformist!
There's no need for name calling.
*Although it is pretty funny ;D * *snickering*

Well, Sometimes a contrarian position is useful to the discussion. I don't know all the details of what's been happening, but I feel that point has passed.. I love our clan and clansmen, and for now intend to adapt to what there is to adapt to.

I know you were Steve, :)
I'd just been reading about all the issues for a while, I was in a heavy mood.
*Does a happy dance to lighten the mood* I love everybody too, so lets find a system that includes everyone and lets everyone contribute. Tell me if I can help out :)
Dance with me!
*Puts out arms* As long as you swing me around wildly. I just LOVE that. ;D
I will, milady!! **swing**
I guess Steve's coming to the party tomorrow!
Yea!! that was fun, and it will be nice to meet you in person if you do come to the party. Otherwise, Zardoz, you'll have to spin me around....Wheeeee!!!
What party?! Where? When? I'm so out of touch when I go out of town.
Tomorrow night at our house- the July Mclotofus gathering. See the "July Mclotofus gathering" thread for all the details. Don't worry about the "RSVP by Tuesday" thing since you didn't find out about it til now :)
Please remove my name from the roster..
With the not actually working the faire (in all likelihood) I may actually be able to stop by the official campground this year for once. I kick myself for not being on the board since the Faire, and it's completely my fault. If the Gathering in August happens when I'm a. in town and b. not with company and finally c. not working I should be there.
It has become painfully obvious over the past two weeks that this social group appears to be run by the desires of a select couple of individuals within the group of "elders" with tenure and without any consideration of the thoughts and wishes of any other members. We do not agree with this sort of structure in any type of social setting and do not choose to associate our family or ourselves with any such group. We will remain friends with those of you who we have grown to know, but am severing ties with the group as a whole. Please remove Ann Marie, Chris B and our family from the roster as well.
Remove Ally and Myself from the "Entertainment Section" as you will.
In case the memo hasn't been circulated quite yet, I removed myself from the group a while back. Those of you who are leaving the Clan due to my actions need not do so because of me.

Oh, honey, I'm sorry. I may have erased it by accident. You know, pruning and such. I'll add it back, post haste!
Alright, all issues are sorted and we're back on track now. So sorry for the yo-yo there...
Yeah, if you call sweeping it under the big blood covered rug resolving anything. Dennis and I are no longer McLotofus.
So I see my Name still on the ranks. also see yall had some growing pains. So I just wanted to ask if I still's a Mclotofusian. And hopefully I can make it for All Hallow's eve. Work has been slow so moneys tight. hopefully I can make it out for a trip.

OMG TANYOR!!! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN BUDDY?!?!?!?!?!?
Hey Blue... Umm all I can say is "women" there evil sometimes.
Which raises me to ask
"Because men aren't sometimes as well?"
wow, what the hell have i been missing out on...or do i not want to know?
Don't worry honey, all is well again. If you want the scoop, head to the site. But I really think it's best to just let everyone and everything move forward.
Please head over to the McLotofus site to get the information on current happenings with the clan, as well as the new camp/clan guidelines for the 2009 Season! See you all at TRF!
I would like to be a member. :(
Oh, no need to frown honey! Head over to our site, www.mclotofus.com/forums, and sign up. We would be happy to have you, and the site will tell you how!
I may stop by and say hello, but alas I do believe thats as far as it will ever go, I think my clan is going to be my family and the rest are cordial enemies. I hate to sound like a butthead but I've had enough drama from the rennie community( as well as 18,000$ stolen) those who I have passing "friendships" with will remain as such and those who have made themselves adversaries, well hmmm?
Sweetie, it's nice to see you in the threads, and we're happy to have you any way we can get you- even if that just means a short visit. I'm sorry for your troubles lately, and sorry that the ren community has let you down. Maybe someday, you may not feel that way and you'll come back to McLotofus. Not that I'm holding my breath or anything LOL!

Does this mean your fever is reduced?
Well, yes... yes it does! :D
I hope it doesn't reverse it's reversal once Mercury goes direct again... :-\
It can't be too easy for Mercury to reverse with those wings on his ankles.
I would think that would actually help, since he is in mid-air, and all...
Still, it would be difficult to buy shoes off the shelf.
Isn't that what sandals are for?!? :P LOL
Hey Blue, Did you forget about me? ;D
I try to forget about you every morning when I wake up LOLOL. Loves you! I'm adding you to the list honey.
Ahh, I miss you too. ;D

This explains why he didn't wear a three-piece suit b/c you can't wear such with sandals.
You can in Jamaica, mon... but it has to be made of a cotton/linen blend, and be white, with an open collar shirt... :D
OK, but I cannot envision Mercury in such a baggy, linen suit. Yet then again, I may be erroneously biased.
Moot point now, since he is once again winging his way in a forward motion!!!
We had a great opening weekend, and we seem to be stronger than ever! Camping was a blast, and I can't wait to see you all again. New members, please jump on in!
Hello All! I'm new to the forum, but I've been going to TRF for a couple of years now with no one but my sister, and would now really like to get to know some people and make friends. I've pretty much decided that I want to camp for the weekend of Oct. 31 (alone if need be--since I can't persuade anyone to join me). Clan McLotofus sounds like an awesome group and I'd really like to join you if I may?
Pretty Please? *Bats Eyes*
Welcome Selena! We saw your registration on our boards, and will be pushing it through so that you can join up and see if we're your kind of people or not. As soon as you're approved on the site, please come over, make an introduction post, and hop into the fun!

You've made an excellent choice in picking McLotofus! You're going to find a bunch of fine people that have a great camp.
If by chance things don't work out with Clan McLotofus, come see us a Phoenix Risen. We camp in the row 0 area across from police headquarters.
Haha, thanks for the invite Zaubon! Across from the police station is always good, especially since I'm a little helpless female planning on camping at Fest by myself :o

Selena it will be great to see you on All Hallows and we set up and patrol our camp to ensure all are safe. ;D
Yes...we have the Protective Order. ;D
I luffs my Order.....
TO CULLODEN MOOR!!!
*i has to luffs thems, they are my PSD*
Selena,
I'm sure you'll feel very safe at Mclotofus, the Clan members have been incredibly kind and welcoming to us each time we have camped with them (three times now) and I have never once felt unsafe in Camp.
CelticRoses
We have a Protective Order AND a Camp Marshall!! (NOT the Blue or Green ones, though -- I'm speaking of the Martin one!)
Not so much "Protective Order"..... it's the Order of Culloden Moor. Good for all sorts of shennanigans...
The more I learn, the better it all sounds :D Now I have more convincing arguments for my family when they tell me I'm crazy to camp by my lonesome...Then again, I hadn't thought I would get much sleep at TRF anyways...
If you're with McLotofus you won't be camping alone... you'll just have your own tent in amongst the tents of lots of friends!!!

Hi Mouse!
As Fraser said, head on over to our forum and register. We'll make sure Fraser doesn't treat ya too badly as your sponsor, lol!
As far as gatherings (don't want to continue the hijack of the other thread), we typically try to have one once a month during the off season. Not sure who is hosting for Feb yet.
I know my apartment is smallish, but I may consider hosting for February sometime. It's been awhile since we've had a party within the Houston city limits *eyes Bonny* LOL!
All, it's been a great run! Do to scheduling conflicts, as I previously posted, I am no longer a member of McLotofus.
Please look to one of the other McLotofus Elders for updates to the roster and to the schedule!
It looks like we may need to start a new roster thread since you were maintaining this original one. No one else can edit the original, except for mods, etc....
Well, it's up to you. You can start yourself a roster thread v 2.0 or something.
