The Brothers of St. Arnulf will be making our annual pilgrimage to Texas. Come by, tilt a pint, share a story or beat the drums with us.
We will be camping around Row 11, 12 is in the middle.
If you know us, say hello, if you want to know us, say hello.
Brother Octavius
The Dochartaigh clann will be there that weekend. We'll definitely drop by for some pints. Maybe you'll be able to add a few of us Celts to your, uh, flock...
Please do, we are always happy to meet good people.
ahhhh Clan Procrastination shall be there that weekend for Highland Fling!! We shall look for you to introduce ourselves and share a pint!
We suggested that some of the other Brothers come say hello, but the correspondences are conspicuously absent this year.
Anyway, I had an account here but there must have some kind of purge when they rebuilt the forum. I'm looking forward to meeting more people this year, so feel free to come visit and do your Penance (yes, I got lazy and just reproduced the Penance recipe from last year).
Just wander in to the campsite and let anyone know that you are ready to do your Penance and we'll hook you up.
Anon,
Presidio
brother Zacharias here to say hello! cant wait until the second weekend of november! if anyone is in need of a hand crafted (with love) walking staff i will bring a few. they are not for sell.. but i do like to barter for trade items. in the past the brothers have set up a trading booth at our camp site and it is very fun.
Yaawwwwnnn... (.. begins to wake up ..)
My oh my.. is it that time again? Hello again to those of you we've had the privilege of meeting. To whom we haven't, please drop by and introduce yourselves. We will not be difficult to find on the campground (and sometimes literally on the ground). Safe travels and good fortune to all who attend this season and we shall hope to see you soon!
Huzzah!
Christoph The Golden

I like you two already. Penance should be taken on ones knees, head tilted slightly down.
Wait a second:

Were you at the Sea Devil at the end of the Highland Fling weekend last year?
I think she got the full moon surprise.
www.drunkmonks.org
did i not mention i like to drink? drinking and remembering people from a yr ago, don't really go hand in hand.... but if there's whipping involved, i'll be sure to remember ;)
someone with a whip bent about 4 monks over a bench at the seahorse tavern and raised our robs one a time and whipped us. As she went down the line raise'n and whip'n she stopped cold at the last Brother. It was a sight I prayed often for St. Arnulf to remove from my thoughts.
This Brother is but a wee lass in the Ren realm. He does not mean some new Kiddie pavillion where the monks go to get whipped, he's speaking of the Sea Devil Tavern... :P

Whew... and here I stood thinking I had been calling the place by the wrong name all these years. ;D
I have never been refereed to as wee...
Next time, I'm weeing on your foot and will convince you it was well.....you.
i think perhaps he was confused bc of the horse type accoutraments found underneath the monk robs during the whipping escapade... but maybe that's just me, hoping ;)
Many Brothers have horse features sadly it's only our shiny coat.
This is a great picture.

Does anyone drum? We will have blinking beacon about 75 feet above the camp to guide you to us for a pint and a story.

I have 2 drums, a doumbek and a djembe. I am taking a break from drumming this weekend since I played till 3am and my fingers are still a bit swollen :-[ Next weekend I will be ready to go ;) I have extra lines to the Scottsman song (ye know the one, with the blue ribbon tied under his kilt, "I don't know where ye've been me lad, but I see ye've won first prize.") I'll bring the cd - Seamus Kennedy is a much better storyteller than I!
TRF employees are still not officially allowed to camp with ye in playtrons, so I will only be able to sneak out on Saturday night. If ye can't wait that long to be flogged, come by me booth at the Mongolian Embassy, #403. That goes for anyone! My boothmates will love it! :D
Now that is an offer I can get behind.
Bump before heading out Thursday night, camping 4 days at TRF should be outstanding.
See many of you soon, please look for us and say hello.
I enjoyed greeting the Bothers in camp Friday. I didn't see many of you in Faire on the weekend. Perhaps in the future I'll be able to greet you in the campgrounds.
It was great meeting you monks! Your generosity was greatly appreciated (though it took quite a toll on sunday morning). I look forward to many more meetings in the future!
Ahhhh, the Bothers. I do think the bar keep on Sunday mornings at the Agora must also call us that.
Thanks to everyone that dropped by to spend some time with us. I must admit, I did little other than sit by the campfire when in camp this year. Maybe eventually the monks will work up to more than one weekend a year. We talk about it every year but never do it.
Thanks again for the company and see y'all next year or at Hammond LARF in December.
Yes, it was great to meet some of the people from the forum. I wish I had been a little more active in walking about the campground, but I was in a weekend long battle with a bottle of Jagermeister all the while Brother Octavius was chunking Holy Hand Grenades of Antioch at me. Next thing I know, it's Tuesday and I'm at work. It was a glorious weekend indeed.

What a great weekend, I had so much fun saying hello and meeting people from the forum and renspace. It was nice to hear people yell hey "those are the Brothers of St. Arnulf". Whom ever it was, thank you. Today, I feel quite unholy and unhuman.
It was nice to meet the Cardinal a few times. He was able to roll a few Saints names
God knows I meet other Brothers like Brother Nike and New Balance, Brother Pepsi and White t-shirt. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery but if you going to get close, go all the way good men.
