Hubs and I are going to attend TRF this year (thank goodness. I was thinking we couldn't make it), with a few friends in tow. We are wanting to camp (can't afford hotels & they're not fun anyhow), and I was wanting advice on where to place ourselves. :) We aren't rowdy (at least I don't think so, but we've never all been drinking at once before). We do enjoy drink, and as a few of us are lightweights, bedtime will probably be relatively early (haha). I thought I'd consult you guys as we don't want to stumble (literally and figuratively) uninvited into someone's clan/favorite camping spot/shower area/flogging area/etc. Right now, we are looking at coming down the weekend of Nov. 8th or 22nd (still ironing out details). Thanks! :)
Join us at row 8 where McLotofus are. We're relatively tame, and don't bite too hard. ;D
Unless you ask nicely! :P
Uh.. please? ;D (I bring vodka.. ;D)
VODKA?!?!?!
Rum and will make it a deal.
Ah. I bring RUM, then. ;) haha ;D
Fantastic. ;D I can see we will be the bestest of friends. :P
Good job Taynor, keep 'em in line when I ain't watchin;
*rum is always a better bribe*
What about Scotch?
Rum and Scotch it is then! (And vodka. I'm cheap and like me some screwdriver. lol) :)
single malt? 18 years in the cast? Now you're talking a real bribe.
And to think some poor fool once ask me in me kilt if I had wine in my flask.

Check my message thread on Playtron camping. The third or so message in the thread has my map and weekly camping locations. That will give you some idea of who is camping where and give you some choice of where to locate.
Of course, after the Thursday afternoon and Friday morning land rushes, all bets are off.
I personally camp at the Drunken Gnomes, but that may be a bit too close to the rowdy bunch. McLotofUs has a good location and if you post your desire to join the encampment, they should have enough room. Post what size tent you'll be setting up. Stop by my travel trailer at location 3A and say hello.
Thanks for the advice! :) I read in passing about the Thurs. afternoon/Fri morning land rush. I am currently trying to get off work so I can make it down there in time (we're 5 - 5 1/2 hrs away), but it looks like I won't be getting there to set up until late Friday afternoon. :( Yet another one of the reasons why I asked for advice on this matter. lol All I care about is 1) not getting run over in my tent by a drunk driver, 2) not putting up with blaring techno music all night, and 3) just staying away from the huge fire pit (I'd call it more of a bonfire last time I was there)/ravers. :) As long as we can avoid those things and meet awesome people, we should be fine. :) :) OH! and 3) not returning from faire/walking around/anything to find our entire campsite empty. lol :) I will certainly stop by and say "Hello". And I'll hop on the McLotofUs thread and ask if we can join them when we get the weekend secured. :) Thanks!
You're also welcome at with Clan Procrastination. We won't be camping again until Highland Fling and Closing weekends. But you're welcome to join us as well. But I'm sure you'll be in good hands with McLotofus as well!!!
Wonderful! Thanks for the invite! I suppose we'll go wherever there is space (if they'll have us). lol I imagine you can easily find us as we'll probably be the ones with stupid/confused/lost looks on our faces until we find spots. :)
If you're coming for All Hallows, Just get to row 8-10 next to the paved road and look for neon pink and green tapes. I'm sure we can squeeze you in someplace. It's a big party I'm marking off for, so let us know....Blue in particular. She's the one coordinating it all.
Yes, PLEASE!!! LET ME KNOW!!!
I imagine we won't be making All Hallows, unfortunately. :( (That was the weekend I **really, really** wanted to go.) Due to a sick twist of fate, a lot of my group are having to work that weekend. :( (I'm pouting and am feeling extremely sad for them.) So, count us out for that weekend, please. :( (And thank all of you for the invites! :) )
