It's a whole new type of Ren Faire trouble,
As bonfires burn and cauldrons bubble,
Dead leaves dance on a chilling wind,
We'll dance and revel, come together as friends.
Spiders skitter while skeletons leer,
Imps caper forth as the moon shines clear,
Butchered pumpkins flicker with light,
Witches laugh 'neath stars so bright.
Black cats yowl and zombies groan,
Goblins giggle and mummies moan,
The shroud to the Spirit World parts this night,
We call on those Spirits we'd like to invite!
In the interest of promoting mutual friendship between the two great RF clans of McLotofus and Phoenix Risen we have bonded together in the one thing we know everyone on our shared forum can agree on. Having a great time!
To that end, both clans would like to invite everyone to an all RF all Weekend Halloween Bash!
Friday nights party will be hosted by McLotofus in their camp.
Saturday nights party will be hosted by Phoenix Risen in their camp.
All members of both clans are formally invited to both parties as is everyone on this forum.
Andi/Indigo
The clans invites:
Clan McLotofus would like to welcome one and all to our Friday Night Loki Social! Directly following the Drunken Gnomes Loki Contest, please come join us at Row 7/8 for fun and RF fellowship, plus a chance to taste Lokis from around the country! Bring your favorite flavor, bring your appetite for loki, or bring both! There will be light snacks and smores, as well as music and dancing until it's time to pass out! If you happen to desire something besides loki, you are more than welcome to bring that as well.
Children are, of course, welcome. Please make sure that all renlets are properly secured either by leash or by threat of being thrown into the fire. Just kidding, we love our kids!
Phoenix Risen hereby extends the hand of fellowship to all families and clans, both large and small, to join us in a revelry of laughter, spirits (both the undead and the drinkable sort), and wicked fun this All Hallows Eve, Saturday, October 31, 2009!
Events for the evening shall kick off at 8 pm for the children in attendance with a children's costume contest, and become more adult oriented as the evening wears on. A more specific itinerary and theme will be provided later on, as well as our camp location.
Please join us for drinks, treats, friendship, and good times as we welcome in All Hallows Eve and celebrate the fun and frivolity of Texas Renaissance Festival and all the joys of fellowship and merrymaking faire entails!
Party Time!

Sounds like the makings of a legendary weekend. :o Huzzah to McLotofus and Pheonix Risen!
I'm hoping my clan agrees to camp this weekend. I was planning to put some evening events together for them. I'll make it a point to include the weekend festivities in the planning.
Personally - I prefer the ole favorite, dunking for cleavage. But thats just me.
Oh, how I love a party! Count me in.

Musical men is a version of musical chairs with men down on one knee being the chair!
Oh ok, that is Wayyyyyyyyyyyy much more G rated than I was thinking, lol, but still sounds fun
Oh, honey... who knows where the night goes as the loki is flowing...
*installs revolving doors on the clans tents*
J/K LOL
I am so excited that All Hallows Eve is *actually* going to be the same day as Halloween this year!!!
Woo Hoo!!! This is going to be SO COOL! We are talking EPIC here!
Now...to come up with a really great costume er...I mean...garb! ;D
*goes off pondering...what to be...what to be...hmmmmm*
Huh, that's what I love about ren faire and Halloween - costume = wear my grab again.
I think this year, I will go as a pirate....
This should definitely be a really awesome All hallows. I'm still waiting to hear from my clan to find out how many will be able to make it. I'm gonna put together some camp activities such as pumpkin carving and a scavenger hunt, and if time permits, dunking for cleavage. Of course if my clan flakes out on me I'll just have to move over McL and persuade my friends over there to participate. ;D

Sounds good to me...you know you are always welcome KP... ;) ;D
Well thank you very much My Lady Ann *wink*
Now I've just got to set myself down to put together a good scavenger hunt. In a campground like TRF the imagination is the limit.
I wanna have a pumpkin carving contest...can we have a pumpkin carving contest? ;D
Bunch of inebriated Rennies wielding sharp objects... in a contest, no less! Hmmm... :o :-\
Actually, I love pumpkin carving, and I'd probably try to stay at least half sober for it!!! LOL
Phoenix Risen is planning on a lewd pumpkin carving contest! ;D
I had actually planned pumpkin carvin for Clan Procrastination - We may just have to move it over to the PR camp across the road
Bring it on... and make it as um... interesting as you can manage lol
Carving punkins is a blast...
*wonder if I can carve one into a rum mug*

*and some rum too*

Nope... not gonna say a word about horse tails... just not gonna say it!!! :-X

PLEASE!! Brain wash me!
Yep, it goes on my list every year for TRF. Tent, stakes, brain bleach (I even have the green, eco friendly kind!!) Dont worry, we will try not to let it get TOO out of hand Saturday night. Although I will say the renlets might be better off in the tents and all before the pumpkin carving begins. Ive heard some pretty disturbing ideas, and Blue's, yours actually isnt the worse in my book!
Cant wait to see you all. . . Ive even started on my costume already!
Maybe the renlets need their own pumpkins, before the "free-for-all" contest begins? If they're fairly small (the renlets, although small pumpkins are good for small renlets) then they can just paint them instead of carving them, and they could have their own contest.
Just a thought...
I agree with that thought process. The kiddies shouldn't be left out

Well, not where pumpkins are concerned, anyway... ROFL
Sorry, but I'm not sharin' the rum with the renlets... :P
As should be expected (o:
but one day when they've grown into full fledge rennies then rum will be overflowing. until then pumpkins. :D
I'm glad i'm not a renlet.

Sorry to hear that Count Adolfo...I hope things change so that you can still make it. ;)
We have other plans in store for the renlets. . . I dont really relish the idea of the campsite covered in paint, or the renlets covered in the same. . . its a cute idea but probably not exactly practical for the camping area. And really, there arent usually a ton of kiddos on Halloween weekend- I think most parents fear the insanity! LOL
Plus, festivities arent starting til after cannon, which means not alot of light. Im still working out the details for the adult version, and am thinking we may encourage everyone to do their pumpkin beforehand and bring it with them to fair. Just not entirely sure yet.
Our small group is coming up All Hollows Eve and would like to perticipate in the festivities especially me ;D how do i sign up?? Looking forward to meeting and greeting our fellow rennies
No sign up necessary, just saying you plan to drop by counts as sign up. . .
If you're looking for somewhere to camp though, we have quite the merry little group building over at Phoenix Risen, and we would love to have ya!
I have t' agree, nothing to sign up for! Just show up ready to have a great time!
And yep, PR is very welcoming to anyone who'd like to camp with us as well
*You can sign up to bring me rum, but that is also optional*

Sorry, milady
but here we are 4 weeks out and it's scrubbed
no-go
it's not just one thing... it's a variety of things... so there's really no overcoming it
I'm certain you all will have a good time FOR me and if one or more of you raise a mug to me, know that I'll be thinking of you.
Count Adolfo sorry that you can not make it for AHE. I hope that you might be able to make closing weekend, which is also a great time to come. Its looking like this weekend will be probably the most attended according to the borads. Our group has always attended last weekend for the last eight years. I hope that you will be able to attend last weekend.
I get there on Fridays to clean the shop and stuff mostly bail out my wet tent. Where do you guys camp? I come in on CR 303 and use the employee entrance. If I go a visiting will they let me into the patron's camp? without paying a fee? I know they don't like us to play with the playtrons but I LOVE Halloween and this will be my first time to ever have to work on Halloween. I try and hit as many costume contest's as possible on Halloween, guess not this year :( I don't want to be staring at the celing of my truck when I could be meeting new friends and have some fun. :)
If you can meet up with me or send me some info I'd be happy to give you my cell number just pm me :)
Most of you know me as this...
