Where is my scribe? He must be on vacation...anyway, a date has been set for the 8th Castleteer gathering. The powers that be have convened and a date of November 7th has been set aside at the castle for us. Mark your calendars. The Castle is booked and busy until then, so, it will most likely be "Castleteer weather" at that time... :D
Our captain and others have requested that we do the food a little differently this time. We were hoping to set up in the "lobby" area so we can graze all night long. Some are talking of bringing a turkey, roasted chicken and smoked beef. We will have another sumptuous feast and plenty of it!
Oops, I failed to mention that Humphrey has also set aside that Friday the 6th for those who wish to arrive early and stay at the castle that night as well.
heres me be our LadyHawke, and good guess, me's has been on vaca. ;D
tis many moons off as of yet, but to have a great "Gather'n", time is what we need,
as we grow closer, me's will add the food offer'ns and other goodies
so now with our PILLAR of the Castleteers and the Captains permission, it begins ;)

we be off, as said, much to get done,
our LadyHawke, we's hope to see thee SOON .
i be the Old Tinker and his Belle...
Count me and my brother (Capt James Cutler) in!
I *love* the idea of doing food differnetly, because some of us can't do the stew because of bacon & other pork products get thrown in... :(
Another gatherin?! HUZZAH!!
Add us! Myself, Layla, Kadden and Sir Mard included. Sounds like it will be another fabulous time! I can't wait!
Of course count us in ,will be in on fri !
Add Lady Helen and I to the list. We will plan on attending.
You couldn't keep me away if you tried! :D My calendar will be marked and highlighted and otherwise scribbled upon, and both Friday -and- Saturday will be set aside for the occasion. ^.^
Oh my Lord I will try my hardest to be there! The cut off for vaca at work is the end of October but I will sell my soul (what's left after selling it to get to Kentucky this weekend) to make it there!
may all forgive this Old Tinker for not post'n much right now. after this weekend of Open'n at KYHRF ;) , me's will catch up.
good fortune to all,
i be the Old Tinker and his Belle...
It should pretty much be a given as much time as we spend there now that we will be there that weekend barring any unforseen problems of course.
so add Ariyana and Jared to the list please...
Mike and I and possibly Mona will prolly be there too.
Capt Lucy reporting for duty ;)
I'll be there.
...count me, and mine for attendance as well!
finally this Old Tinker has caught up with the list'ns. ::) well plann'd fellow "Castleteers", never to early to reserve a date for a "Gather'n". ;D
we's be on the watch, ;)
your Old Tinker and his Belle...
Now that we've been given the okay by Humphrey.. Layla and myself will be making an appearance as " Misplaced Laces" and performing! :o
Huzzah! ;D
Yay! I look forward to it!
I'll be there!!
We have been encouraged to go by Carl and Donna for a while now and if everything works out we may attend this year too.
It would be great to have you guys attend! More scallywags!
Add Aunty Lou to the list! I keep looking at cookbooks of elizabethan, mideival, and shakespearean feasting, thinking of vegetives, sallets, and comfits...
My motto - "Nimas, nimenos!"
just update'd the list'n,
well also just gett'n ready to leave me mundane work.
last week vaca, this week catch up.
hope to also see everyone at OHRF.
be well all,
i be the Old Tinker and his Belle...
Tinker sir, can you be so kind as to put me down too! I'm hoping to make this my first Castleteer gathering! I actually should have a way up there this time.
And, it was lovely seeing you and Belle at KRF this year!
Dear Lady Sami, it would be a pleasure to add thee to the list'ns.
twill be a grand time,
all take care,
i be the Old Tinker and his Belle...
*sad face*
Looking at my schedule, I'll only be able to make it up to the Gathering on Saturday night. I have to work 'til 5 that evening, and I'll leave straight from there and make a mad dash to the Castle (that will get me there by 7 or 8).
Unless, of course, I get a M-F type job like I've been aiming for, so keep your fingers crossed for me!
our jinx'ee, there will be plenty of time after you arrive to enjoy the even'n with the rest of us.
mad dash yes, but be careful thou.
OT& B...
Lady Whitney is working to convince my rogue and I to attend a gathering. So if it is all well with you, we will try to attend. We might even bring our captain along.
I do ask what we can expect at this as I have not been able to attend one prior to this.
I can assure all that it will be my 45th birthday on the 6th of November, Yet as true as I am to my Castle I shall attend. You may add myself and my peasant Samantha

we hope that Lady Whitney can persuade thee and thy rogue to attend.
as far as the "Castleteer Gather'ns" go, well many good folk gather at "Loveland Castle". enjoy each others company, play some games, but mostly it is the company that me Belle and me go for. now it is BYOD(drink). most everyone where there Garb. most bring some food stuffs to munch on (sometimes we have "The Ultimate Cauldron of Pot Luck" which everyone throws something in and our good Peter always makes it just right with his season'ins. but this come'n "Gather'n" in Nov., we will for-go the POT LUCK, and everyone is to bring just some good foods to eat). "The Knights of the Golden Trail" have been so kind in the past for lett'n us enjoy there "Castle", and we hopes that there not be a reason in the future that they would need to stop.
all in all, it is like a mini ren fest, without shows, vendors and alot of walk'n, but now the best part of a ren fest is still present, "THE RENNIES". ;D
to become a "Castleteer", our Captain humphrey has set down the guidelines, which are-
#1 - you must spend one overnight at "Loveland Castle",
#2 - you must make a new friend,
#3 - you must laugh some time dur'n the even'n.
that is all there is to it. there be an unspoken golden rule, that was only verbaliz'd once, after the first "Gather'n" several years ago. and it is- "What Happens at the Castle, stays at the Castle!"
it may be a couple of months off, but it is never to early to plan to attend a "Castleteer Gather'n".
and of course there will be many toast to our Sir Samual, for his natal day. ;)
we's hope for many new friends to attend,
your servants,
i be the Old Tinker and his Belle...
I can almost hear the fire crackling, the laughter in the air, and can almost feel the crisp November air. Ohhhh I cannot wait!
If you want my rogue's name, list him as Gregory Thomas :)
Also, our Captain Vechs is going to try to attend as well.
ladyissame, me's will update the list'n with thy name thee have offer'd.
our CapnFaye, good Ren Daught, now with thy description of the even'n at the "Castle", makes me Belle and me even more want'n for the day to arrive sooner. just can not wait for it to be here.
hope to see thee at the R/F Invasion at OHRF.
sun shine'n, crisp air, tis a good day to be alive,
be well all,
i be the Old Tinker and his Belle...

Lucy and our new ren-grandyoung'un. twill be a day of fun and enjoyment. ;D but of course noth'n compares as our "Loveland Castle" and our "Castleteer Gather'ns".

your Papa Tinker and Mama Belle...

I doubt I can get a sitter for both M'Crack weekend AND castleteer weekend so I think I'll be passing this one up since the new rules say it's adults only... I may be sitting out quite a few now. :(
My attendance for the weekend is in limbo . . . I have the weekend off but some -personal- issues may push me further South (directionally, not emotionally, lol).
I should have a definite answer within a week or two.
A quick thanks to Tink and LadyHawk for the "heads up" on the Gathering. We're checking into things here to see if we can swing it.

I can do that, too, you know.
You did pillage me a Newby to plunder, so I owe you. ;D
Just to make sure, My Layde and I expect to be there as well. Or I will come by myself and dance with all the wenches. I suppose I will bring potatoes and the magic potato cutter as well.
Spirit, did you mean potatoes for the cauldron? We're not doing that this time, we're doing more of a everyone bring something for nibbling.
Papa, I can pick up a couple of deli trays and some bread if anyone's interested in sammiches... I'd much prefer to make wraps but I don't know how well they'd survive the trip up. o_O;
CapnFaye our Ren Daught, thy offer'ns have been list'd.
and our good spirit, me's Daught is correct, so's me's have list'd thy offer'ns as POTATOE chips? (until thee post differently).
.
the thoughts and plann'n has begun,
less than four weeks until our encounter,
all remember that if thy bring someone as a guess or partner, please list there Ren name so's me's can get it on the list'ns, due to admittance onto the "Castle" grounds.
and also, please bring plenty of paper products for the feast (seems we always run short, this Old Tinker does not mind eat'n with me fingers, but others may not like it that me's have'm in the cheese ball :o, fingers that is ).

Lady jinx and I will be making some scrumptious Nutella sandwich cookies!
We'll prolly bring our usual fried chicken ala Lee's.
I believe we shall be bringing a roaster of baked sketti
I believe our group will be bringing a veggie..pizza..type thing. It's all cold, so it's not like an actual pizza. Ah well, you'll see when we get there! We'll probably bring something else as well, just not sure what yet.. =) Can't wait!!
We shall be bringing Helen's banana bread, male and female brownies and possibly cookies.
all have been record'd as of this post. Please, if there be anyone miss'n, please let this Old Tinker know, so's me's does not miss anyone.
also, all remember to bring paper products and utensils for the feast.
"whats that me Belle", "yes, yes, me's will start the countdown soon, very soon." ;D
;) and a merry old time they had ;)
"Long Live Harry's Dream !!"
i be the Old Tinker and his Belle...
hey all, i hope everyone is doing well.
here is what i have this day, first entertainment. Misplaced Laces will be performing. Drunk and Sailor is coming as long as it is logistically reasonable for them. Minstrel Woode will let me know soon if they are coming. and depending on the weather, your very own KOGT will take the stage also. if all goes well, a fairly decent line up really.
next my guesses on kogt food offerings, sir jeff and lady jodi will bring their strange, but tasty, meatballs, sir paul will bring meatloafs, sir fred wont bring anything cuz he doesnt understand the concept of "potluck", sir chuck and lady laura will post their own offerings. i am making burgers and chili friday night and will have cheese ravioli for saturday.
Layla and I are soooo excited to get to sing some of our more ..adult..songs. =) Provided we have no "easily offended" offenders. It'll be a super change to get to sing from our bawdy set.
I know I mentioned this already ..twice.. But.. WE'RE COUNTING THE DAYS!

Ooh, nom nom nom!
;D I think Lady E will be the one bringing the Nutella cookies, it was just my idea. The original plan was for me to go to her house and join her in the making, but I no longer have a car, and will be riding up with Katie McBrewer, so I can leave those to her, if she doesn't mind. Tentatively, if Newby manages to procure transportation, we may run out and get some fresh fruits and veggies and, if I have anything to do with it, honey, because it goes -really- well with bread. xD
I'm basically out of commission for anything until at least March, by my calculations, unless I can manage to get a ride from other people. My engine seized up on my way to work the other day, and it would cost more than the car did to fix it. D: I will soon be saying "hello" to public transportation. xD
Hey Tink, I think you've got me on the list twice, as both Whits_End or Lady Whitney. Either way is fine (or as Lady Sersha.) I just wanted to let you know in case you were taking a count.
Also, I'd like to add my rogue to the list. Some of you know him as Spaz, some know him as Joshua. Either way, I'm excited to show him the castle! And since he's a chef, he'll figure out something to bring. I just don't know what yet.
Can't wait!!
Yay! Spaz is coming to the castle! You two are too cute, just sayin'. ;)

Aren't they? ;D
Yeah, I'll be makin' the cookies but they are from the both of us.
No word yet on my other half . . . it looks like a 'no' but I'm still hoping.
Yay for Spaz coming as well! Still trying to figure out what we will bring. Probably veggies
I will be there Friday night. I do not know how many meatloafs will arrive with me, but I imagine at least a couple.
I'm glad everybody seems happy I'm bringing the rogue. ;D And I think he'll be bringing Mexican dip. It's GOOOOOOD.
Lady Whitney, thee have been updated on the list'ns, (name's, guess and food offer'ns), thank you for the corrections. see thee soon...
Paul, we's have thee down and the meatloafs too..
.....
click'n right along with the list'ns on peoples attend'n and food stuff that they may bring.
Hmm, a little tune--for all our fellow "Castleteers"--
you are my sunshine, my only sunshine,
you make me happy, when times are gray,
you'll never know dear's, how much we's love you's,
please don't take our sunshine away.
and that's all me's have to say about that.
your Old Tinker and his Belle...
Lady Sersha, it will be good to see you again. I do believe that Spaz will fit right in. Heh, heh, heh. His cooking will be a bonus.
As time draws near I am anticipating a fantastic weekend. I hear Paul will be sharing in the Birthday drinking as well. I am now awaiting some new duds for the occassion as well as some other garments for the following days. Yes I am getting all gussied up......
Attending, yes. I am planning on staying the night Friday, and of course Saturday. The imbibing may, or may not occur. 'Tis a long way to the jakes.
But you must partake of some enlightenment ... it is OUR Day.... well and the best gatherin of some questionable yet oddly good people
I have an admission:
I'm more excited about the Castleteer Gatherin' than I am about my birthday party two weeks before. Is that sad or what?
Not sad at all!
I am slowly getting more excited by the day!
Slowly!? I've been counting down for over a month now! :)
Well I only just recently got used to the idea, lol.
tis a sign when me Ren Daughts start get'n excite'd. must be close to the time of the "GAther'n" then. ;D now lets see- count'n today and look'n at Sat the 6th, as the official "GATHER'N" ,
SO'S THAT LEAVES JUST 25 SUNRISES-until we meet.
thats not to many more, consitter'n we's been plan'n now since the end of May. me OH my, does look to be another attendance breaker as it seem each "Gather'n", a few more "Castleteers" are add'd to the family.
"Once a Castleteer, always a Casltereer" ;)
Long Live Harry's Dream !
serve'n all,
your Old Tinker and his Belle...
I can't wait to see everyone since I wasn't able to go to faire as much as I wanted to this season at ORF. But hopefully I will start seeing some improvement in my body or at least get it to shape up a little bit to come and hobble aroud for a few fun filled hours.

Layla and I are soooo excited to get to sing some of our more ..adult..songs. =) Provided we have no "easily offended" offenders. It'll be a super change to get to sing from our bawdy set.
I know I mentioned this already ..twice.. But.. WE'RE COUNTING THE DAYS!
I am easily offended. Please stick to family friendly songs.
:P :P :P
Is this a family-friendly event? I would attend but have my Wee Christopher and don't want to get too excited yet. Also is there a fee of any kind to plan for? T'would be my first castleteering and I'm ignorant about these things!

2 1/2 weeks, or you could say-
18 days, or
432 hours, or
25,920 minutes, or
1,555,200 seconds. :-\
lets just stick with 2 1/2 weeks, sounds good. ;)
me Belle and me been count'n the days also,
soon all, we will "Gather",
HUG, embrace and give kisses,
laugh, feast and drink,
dance, sing and watch,
sit, talk and discuss,
settle, yawn and sleep.
there be noth'n to compare to a "Castleteers Gather'n".
life is good, :D

we's thought it be nice for all to see what our Katie,(a Highland "Castleteer"), has post'd-
OT & B...
- written by Katie-
Sung to "Biloxi" by Jimmy Buffet
Castleteers at Loveland.
Pretty girls are flirting by the fire
They all look like gently dancing flowers
We will warm ourselves with food and friendship
As the stories grow from Chateau delaRoche
Stars shine down on Loveland
Turrets fill with laughter as we play
We will drink a health to one another
We will fill our memories with these moments
For we may or might not meet here again

Is it terrible when your biggest life decision is whether to wear pirate garb or noble garb?
I have one of each myself so I am working it the best I can and who knows maybe a little extra im not sure of yet... ;D :D
The garb be the outer part. Bring your PARTY AT THE CASTLE part. Merriment, mayhem, and hopefully no sore heads (or other parts). Remember, the noble may become pirate in the blink of an eye. ;D

Also hoop skirts are not good for keeping warm...although I'm sure you wouldn't have a shortage of volunteers to help you stay toasty! :D

2 wks 2 the day !!!!!! 2 wks 2 the dy!!!!!!!
Well it IS a castleteer gathering!
I'll be bringing several flavors, as I divided this batch up to include lots of different kinds!
Decisions, decisions....I think I'll bring the Lemon Drop and some Peppermint in jars, and maybe flask some of the others...
Note: It'll only be 2 mo old at the castle, but I think it'll be jussssssssssst fine. ;)
Hey My darling and dearest Tink, can you add Amy, A.J. and Rodney, and Baron Tedd to the list, please?
Thanks

It's starting to sound like there are going to be Castleteers spilling out the windows of the castle. And considering the width of those windows....ouch! (I actually listened to Cap'n Humphrey whilst he gave the tour) Is there enough floor space to sleep everyone?
sns
Steve, I know myself and the people we bring with/meet up with there will likely just come home to sleep as we live rather close to the castle.
...Can we put a tent on the roof? I'm totally not kidding, actually. If we're allowed...we're totally putting a tent on the roof.
Would there be a problem if I came but had to leave that evening? I promise to be responsible and everything! No drinking and driving!
That'll be a nice change . . . me NOT falling down drunk! Haha!
Many of us will be leaving Saturday night, and staying at the Comfort Inn on Fields-Ertel Rd. Just remember, Sir Fred has promised to kick anyone's arse who tries to leave drunk and drive.

I can't wait to see everyone. I get to come and play. Dr added 6 more weeks to my medical leave from work. So we can actually be there when most start showing up.
Yay! I'm extra excited now! I'll be there Saturday night, and with my Doug! We have to leave that evening but at least I actually get to see people!

dearest Bugsey, yes there are many outlets around the "Castle", but it may be a good idea to bring an extension cord. ;)
my, my, look now all, we be only eight days out from our "Gather'n". :)
Mmm, Mmm, me's can almost smell all the good food stuffs for the feast. :D
me Belle and me have been practice'n given HUGs to be's in shape for next weekends,(to tell the true, me Belle and me practice quite a bit :o ).
just one cooler me Belle ? , okay then it shall be two. ::)
weather ?, well now a real "Castleteer" does not bother with concerns of the weather, tis no matter whether rain or shine.. 8) well for that matter, it has snow'd, rain'd, sleet'd and heavey fog for past "Gather'ns. :P
see all soon now, ;D
i be the old Tinker and his Belle...
hey all, i got news, that you will hear more about next week, but here is a little primer.
symmes township just now shut down our haunted tours. they called it a "festival" and sited that we can not do festivals. they sent the health dept, the fire marshal, the building inspectors.....even the sewage dept down this morning to inspect everything. now of course they found no violations of any kind, but because one of our knights posted an ad in the paper calling it a "haunted house" instead of a "haunted tour" the township shut us down. i am sure most of you have heard how the township says we have to have a sprinkler system to have a haunted house. lololol yup, we really need a sprinkler system. i keep telling people that if the castle catches fire we are all dead anyway. think about it, the surface of the earth will have to reach 7000 degrees for that rock to catch fire, if it does a sprinkler wont save any one lololol oh well. how this affects us is simple, the castle is out its biggest fund raiser and i have to run down to the castle to fill out a couple contracts for the castleteers, to make it legally a private party and out of the townships jurisdiction.
THAT, officially, Sucks. (Note the capital S)
To any of the Castleteers or your friends who live in Symmes Township; go to the board meetings and ask what their problem is ith the castle. They are definetely anti castle, and we the people need to know exactly why. I bet they don't hit schools or anyone else this way. If you vote in Symmes Township, vote them OUT!!!!!!
The only thing I officially know, is the Symmes Twp. people need to know and understand the greed and selfishness the twp. has for its officers. They are nothing more than a few MONEY HUNGRY politicians looking to gain some financial reward by trying (tho how feeble the attempt) to shut down and or steal illegally of course our wonderous castle which Harry Built for us Knights to use as a centeral base for an organization to teach others what he has taught so many of us already. That through steady hard labor and trust in God, you can gain the worlds respect.
To the list add myself (if I am not already on the list) and two others new to the castle.
Amber Foster and Stephanie Cote are driving from Atlanta and will be arriving Saturday Morning. They have played with us at KYHRF and are all around excellent people.
That's great! It'll be wonderful to see Stephanie and Amber again!
We're considering a hotel room for Saturday night..just for a soft place and the castle is gonna be packed! Who knows.. we won't know anything for sure til we get there! Haha! We are all so very excited! ;D
Yay! more people to say hi to! It sucks to only be able to be there on Saturday and not stay the night . . . I'm bringing some of the Loki we brought last year. It's been setting for almost a year now so it'll be awesome. At least Devlyn says it is, lol.
I would like to add two addition people the my group that will be coming along this year. Phoenix and ember will be attending with pixie and I
HUZZAH, only a few days until we all "Gather". just a couple things, please.
Draconus, we's have they friends list'd for the "Gather'n".
.
first, looks to be that our group is large, we need more of you to post what your bring'n as far as food stuffs. with 80+ peoples come'n, we's gonna need plenty of chow.
.
second, me Belle and me will as always pay $3.00 for each of us, for the "TOUR". with the knights have'n troubles with have'n there haunted tours,
mayhaps we all can help in a little way and each of us pay for our "TOUR", and the knights can collect a little something, ;) .
.
thank you all,
Tink & Belle...
Good Papa,
Leave it to you to always think of others.. I think giving a little something for the tour is a brilliant idea - course to those who can. The Knights are always so welcoming and gracious to accept us into their castle.. and we all know we can be a rowdy bunch. ;D
Counting down the days - the DAYS! Wewt! And lining my cloak.. I have a feeling its going to be cold.
Things are looking good for our attendance this weekend. That being said...what to bring? In addition to us bringing some sort of snack-style, finger food, I saw that Bugsey is bringing the hot cocoa. I'll shall pick up ye ol' bottle o' Rumplemintz. A good warmer-upper on cold nights around a fire and, a good addition to a cup of cocoa. (I'll believe the beverage is referred to as a Dirty Girl Scout). In this case, I would welcome a "ren-name" for the aforementioned beverage. Any comical suggestions?

Cause bacon can be anything! It can be a condiment, an appetizer, an entrée and even a dessert!
an awesome thought, tink.....but then again you are awesome, so it probably just flows from you like......:) but nah, we are ok at the castle, my little fun raiser over the summer made a nice bundle and will bring in even more next summer.

Or an instant lunch-evacuator. ;D Just sayin'.
I'll see what I can do about picking up a couple bags of salty-crunchy things, along with that fruit. ;D
We may be bringing something different - since we'll be going up Friday and uh..that veggie stuff won't last that long, I doubt.. in a hotel without a refrigerator.. ::)
We'll bring something! I'll check the list before we leave.. to make sure we don't pick up something that someone else is bringing.
P.S Is it Saturday yet?
In addition to the Rumple, I'll bring some tortilla chips to complement Lady Whitney's Mexican Dip and a bag of pretzels to complement the beer!

Looks like everyone is gearing up for a helluva good time! Have fun everyone and be safe!

Garb is packed, 'danes will be packed and ready to go once I do laundry tomorrow night...and those are really only coming because I have to dress up at work on Friday, and I'll be damned if I sit around at the Castle wearing a dress on Friday night!

My dear Humphrey! I, for one, cannot wait to see you again! ;D
And if Beerslayer doesn't slip some of that bacon into his cornbread, people may not want to get between me and that.
Slipping bacon in the cornbread is that some kind of euphemism ;-)
i imaqgine that most will already be in the ballroom, so that will more than likely be the place. we have had weddings of 75+ in there, so it isnt an issue.

We will be heading down today barring any issues. We might be bringing another if that is ok, she is back a month early and staying with us and with the 3 of us there I would rather not leave her alone. She is a rennie through and through and much like me, its scary.
I can't wait for my first Castleers event!
Ah . . . I had such a BLAST last night and so did Doug! Thanks for everything guys! Everyone here ROCKS!!!
gawd I missed everyone :(
I kept looking at the clock sighing wistfully and wondering what you all were doing...
Hope you all enjoyed each others company!
I agree with Everclear. Greggory (Derek) and I had a wonderful time. We had desperately needed a no-stress no drama night among friends. It was so much fun! Thank you to the knights for allowing us to experience the castle this way, and thank you to all here for making the night so wonderful. Next time, we plan on staying the night!
Had a great time with great friends. Weather was perfect. Largest gatherin yet I am sure.
Greeting all, Just a BIG THANK YOU to all the Castleteers that travelled far or short may your experience been well worth the trip. To all those people i met this weekend it was wonderful to meet you all. I had the utmost wonderfullist (is that a word) of times with you all. My Lady Samantha enjoyed herself completely. We both wish to also THANK Humphrey for making this happen as well as to Tink n Belle for thier clerical assistance and to Lady Hawk for her assistance in the making of such a GRAND weekend. We look forward to the next gatherin and hope to enjoy the pleasures of all your company once again. Ok now the link to pictures. I am going to try this.

Well, that was pretty darn GREAT!! I think my favorite thing was watching Drunk & Sailor sing whilst a bevy of shooting stars performed above and behind them! The weather was perfect, the attendees were numerous (close to 70) and the laughing was contagious!!! Oh, and we outdid ourselves on the food once again, delicious and PLENTY!
I can not agree more it was a FANTASTIC weekend and a wonderful gather'n
We had a great time as well.. Seeing everyone was awesome, meeting new friends was even more awesome and the turnout was AMAZING! Thanks so much for having Layla and I as Misplaced Laces! It was the best time! We can't wait to do it again.. Too early to start planning the next gatherin'? ::) ::) I'm hopeless! Haha!!
A good time indeed! We only regret having to depart early.
Till next time

The weather was glorious, the company grand, and the time far too short.
Peace to all.

Did I have my camera? ;D I'll get around to that soon.
BTW, Ladyhawk's magical coffee had more than a bit of a kick. Wow! It made for an interesting Sunday.
Awesome weekend. Made some new friends, caught up with some old ones. Great food, great company, great weather. Quite possibly made an weed puller of myself. (stories are still surfacing) All in all, a success! Thank you to all for your efforts in putting together a most excellent event. Until March. Hazzah!
sns
hey yea SNS...ahem... OHRF pics too...lol
Another great gatherin, fantastic pictures ,Thanks we forgot our camera. A big thank you to all who help to put this together Sir Humphrey,Ladyhawke and our scribes Tink and Belle. Let the Novem Gatherin planning begin!
A huge thank you to everyone...it was fantastic to see old friends and make new ones before the snow flies!
We very much appreciate you inviting us to perform, and it was truly a great evening. ;D
And sleeping in the dungeon was certainly an experience!!
Fair winds and full sails to you all.
Capt Amos
a most splend'id time was had by me Belle and me. as we have said in the past, do's seem the "Gather'ns" keep gett'n better and better. many many new "Castleteers"(those that spent the night in the "Castle"). the weather was perfect (no wet feets). and then there was also the great performances by "Drunk and Sailor " and "Misplaced Laces", twas shows that would and could not be seen anywhere but the "Castle", so many laughs.
our hats off to our "Captain humphrey" for offer'n one of his "weekends" per year, for the "Castleteers". and to the KOGT, for there attendance and participation.
me Belle and me had a excellent time, so much so that we even stay'd past 7AM Sunday morn, and was able to help other with good strong hot bean juice.
me's sure now that our "Captian" has already set the date for the next "Gather'n", we shall have topics of the March "Gather'n" very soooon.....
at all's service,
Tink and his Belle...

that is just excellent news our Ren Daught. me hopes the weather is as good as this last "Gather'n", no wet feets (me knows, me knows, me's keep say'n that "NO WET FEETS", but this is one of things that makes be'n comfortable at the "Castle" to very comfortable at the "Castle").
me's will have to say that we's did not have any of LH'chus magical bean juice.
sooon that count down will start again for the next "Gather'n".
tis been a good weekend past, mark it as a total sucsess.
be well all,
Tink & Belle...
It cannot be soon enough, I have some ideas but will discuss them with Captain Humphrey and maybe see if we can't do something more extravigant.........Ok not too extravigant
Looks like a great time was had by all, I'm so sorry we missed it, and our Castleteer Family.
Circumstances beyond our control, kept us from attending...
...as a matter of fact we have missed a lot this year, we only attended ORF once this past year, this was the only time that has happened since 1992. However, Family comes first.
I look forward to the next one...

which our good friend will be toward the end of March '2010.
you and yours were miss'd, however next quarter, we all shall "Gather" again.
take care, good fortune,
your Tink & Belle...
As promised. I didn't take too many pics but, here's what I found (in chronological order). Notice how my face gets more red as the night progresses. I can only assume I couldn't balance the camera AND point it at myself by the time I took pics of Bugsey and Faye. I sure this had NOTHING to do with the weather! ;D

tanks good Ren daught, please keep us inform'd, but this coming weekend would not work.
HUGs to thee and our grandyoung'un,
Papa Tinker and Mama Belle...
No CRF for me either, lack of transportation/vacation time. :)
I'm going to Brendan's this weekend, too. :D And the next weekend Doktor Kaboom is doing a show in L'Ville, so I'm hoping to make that too. :)

our Ren daught CapnFaye, Hmmm, looks like no other KYHRF'ers go'n to CRF but us and Lord Hamish for the year end M'Crack Family Meet'n.
Ahh, next weekend we will be miss'n in Ky., we shall be - OF COURSE - in North Carolina.
best to thee and good fortune Ren Daught,
your Papa Tinker and Mama Belle...
It would be nice to go to CRF but as it be, I am again laid off. So finances would not allow it. Yet I do have family in L'ville all over actually and seeing Dr. Kaboom would be nice. Perhaps I will see how that would go over with some others.
The Doktor Kaboom show is the Science Center's yearly Fundraiser and he's the MC... it's $125 per person or $200 per couple.
I'll be at CRF! One more fest before the year's out!
Ok, I give up. I'm going to ask the dumb question. What's CRF?
Carolina ren Faire...
Our finances say no more faires for the year....
