Title: Closing Weekend Invasion (Roll Call)
Post by: Scarlett on September 28, 2008, 09:04:03 PM
Be warned!  Closing weekend approaches with all of it's many invaders from nearby shires.  A large group from Pittsburgh's Morelandshire plans to descend, as well as folks from our neighboring sister shire of Avaloch (Great Lakes).  Not to mention  several others from neighboring shires.  We are a thirsty and shopping-hungry lot so be forewarned.  Barkeeps and vendors make ready!  Just ask Lady Guiness and Scotsman - they know us well.

As far as the roll call, I shall start it off....

Scarlett
Morwyn & Himself, The Brad
Syrac
DuCouer
Capt. Morgan
Dwynn
Mehan & Ewan
Scotsman & Lady Guiness
Amras Elfwine
Lady DLW & Sir Os
Lady Katrina
April
BJ & Kevin




Invaders - add your name in this post and I'll update the list it as we go...

Bring it on lass! I know the GLMF folks are coming too Capt Morgan/Dwyn as swell as Mehan & Ewan.

Nice Freudian slip..... I think Ewan is "swell" too!  ;D

Yep, we will be there - and Ewan was just asking last night if you were going to be able to get "he who is still Brad" to come along.... he will be pleased.

I had the great fortune of spending Saturday with "The Brad" ... needless to say I only remember half of it  ;D

Scarlett~ we are looking forward to hosting you ALL! It is going to be an absolutely wonderful weekend. I am looking forward to it. *look out everyone we are about to be invaded!)

Post by: DuCoeur on September 30, 2008, 05:41:24 PM
We are, mostly, Kindly invaders who drink and shop (and in my case) eat in excess.  Is that a problem??? 

Lady Guiness are you ready to share another platter of mussels From O'Shucks??    Oyster shooters and clams on the Half shell...And of course returning to the White Hart.  My taste buds are a tingling. 

17 Days and counting!!!

But Mostly, above all else (it could eoccur in someones back yard), I am looking forward to being reunited with "my Family."

Sorry Scotsman, I do not think you can use me as a Tax Deduction...just slighly *ahem* above the age limit.
Title: Re: Closing Weekend Invasion (Roll Call)
Post by: Lady Guinness on September 30, 2008, 06:15:15 PM
Yes DuCouer I am most definitely ready to share a platter of mussels! I can hardly wait to see all of my friends in one place especially when that place is our wonderful shire here in Md. We promise that everyone here will take care of all our special guest and make you feel at home in Revel Grove.  ;)

Yes indeed, Dwyn and I shall be there for I doubt anything could keep us from our Faire Family and the wonderful hospitality of MDRF! Being run through the mill these past weeks and it shall only escalate which will make our time at MDRF even sweetier!

(counting the days, but hoping they don't go too quickly to give us enough time to set up the exhibition!)

OMG Capt. Morgan!!! That exhibit looks to be right up my alley! I am a collector of all things Tiffany - including the old stuff. Could never afford the Faberge but think it's beautiful nonetheless.

I may just have to plan a trip up there in time to make the exhibit. Methinks I shall speak with you further on this matter when I see you - my interest if definitely piqued!!

Ahh yes...it is certainly chock full of "bling" to be sure....sorry to say tho' such is my exposure to all of it that it is wearing thin like partaking of too many sweets...but it will be a beautiful show!

Oh - I'm CERTAIN it will be absolutely fabulous!!

I'm seriously going to have to see about paying a visit. I will be in Ohio for a few days around Christmas - I may just have to take a day trip a little farther north while I'm there!

Even though I did not get a chance to make it to MDRF this year it's actually kind of hard to believe that next weekend is closing weekend.It seems like only yesterday when you all were talking about kicking off your season there.

It was a somber-and-elation-filled beautiful day...celebrated Day of Wrong today without a single squirrel in sight, wearing a new Moresca jacket...that was just wrong, I know...

Just 43 weeks till MDRF 2009!!

My Lord, I don't believe it ever has a true theme, other than "wrongness"...it is very unofficial, and faire admin is very kind to let the outragiousness occur...all who know me at faire made the comment "No Squirrel?? Thats just wrong!!" today...and me, a humble ranger in Moresca...well, today, it was so wrong, it was right... 8)

Thanks Amras curious minds like mine always wander.About several years ago I had a group of friends up there come up with the theme to The Wizard of Oz and I thought it was so cool so that is why I asked what the theme was the year.Hope to see you some time in the future at Revel Grove my friend.
