Post by: eloquentXI on October 26, 2009, 07:22:07 AM
Pure madness, the next week will be, but I am nothing but excited right now!

Both McLotofUs and Phoenix Risen have A LOT planned for all weekend so if you haven't checked out their info, please do.

For everyone traveling from out of state, I wish you all safe travels so that I can hug you each dearly when you get here!



*scramble scramble*

Whats the weather going to be like?

Where's my bodice laces?

Do I have enough favors?

And lord, don't let anyone forget Teach's rum!

As far as I know, the small crew I have and I will set sail from Denton around 10 or as close to as possible after loading up the wares and all into my truck and stopping by the costume shop to pick up my belltopper.

Can't wait to see everyone! I really wish Friday would get here sooner!

And Breandan, as far as I know, yes, there should be. I'm going to try and bounce back and forth between that and the chainmaille show to get some shots of Cass dancing.

The Ranger has packed and re-packed the car and *chuckling* will do so at least once more before we set out in Autumn on Wednesday eve.

I'm still working on a new set of garb. No requirement to finish it, not like I don't have plenty but ... it's not new and sometimes a succubus just wants new, ya' know?

Lessee.... have to pack up a three bedroom two bath house- with a five bedroom home's worth of stuff- by tomorrow eve, then pick up a friend from out of state who's coming in for a week, then go to our hotel where we will domicile while waiting for our new place to be made ready, then go to the gun show, the Lone Star Rally, the Lynard Skynard concert, and THEN crawl into faire at oh-dark-thirty Saturday night (or, more likely, Sunday morning). I envy those of you who have only the normal levels of chaos to deal with ;D

However, we shall overcome, we shall persevere, and we SHALL be at the POW meet-n-greet noon Sunday :D

Well, the "current" weather forcast looks OK, for what that's worth! But I'm betting it will be a nice weekend.

Unfortunatly after 3 weeks of attendance, we won't be coming up for AHE, but some of my girltorage will be there.  We just got some other commitments that Saturday, and my wife's band has a big show Saturday night. http://www.feoyloco.com/  come see us if you are in town too!

I'm bummed, because I know this is gonna be a weekend of great photo ops, and I'll miss seeing Jenny O'Co.... ::)  I mean.. all my friends again !  But we will be back for Highland weekend!

Have fun, don't do anything that won't wash off, and take lot's of photos!

As long as I don't have to drive 4 hours of constant, heavy rain, I'm fine. That was coming home for Opening.

Hope the gully-washer isnt too bad, Fraser.

I'm with ya Fraser - This forecast sucks for camp setup.  I just hope its intermittent.  I'll be in camp tonight if all goes as planned.  But if the forecast doesn't get any better, I may be waiting till morning to setup camp.  Guess I'll pick up some cheap tarps to layout over night.

There's a four-letter aria being sung in Kilgore this week....

Alas, a family illness will prevent the MacLaren clan from attending AHE. Must sail to some far away land called Arkansas this weekend.

I'll be dead before we miss Thanksgiving, though. Expect a full crew complement of myself, wife, and possibly a couple of sisters then!

Damn, I'll have to survive on the front gate cam Saturday AGAIN!!! >:( Somebody at least WAVE at it for me? I'll post the shot of you if you do!!

Rachel and I will try to make the rounds Sat and wish everyone a most Happy Halloween!!  I adore Halloween and I know it's going to be a totally rockin' good weekend!  This week couldn't go fast enough, I want to be walking the streets of TRF, meeting all the new folks coming, and doing some well loved shopping, dancing, and funness!

The flat tire that I took to Walmart that they said they couldn't find any holes in isn't holding air.
So I'm going to take it to Discount Tires tomorrow morning before/after my orthodontist appt. and see what I have to do, whether I have to replace it or they will have to patch it.
Its going to delay our way to AHE but we'll be there tomorrow, just later than I wanted.  :-\

You people and your AHE going selves! At least I have next year...I shall be awake, drinking and celebratory when Halloween rolls in at midnight a year from this saturday. I don't know what I am doing 15 minutes from now, but you can bank on the fact I know what I am doing Halloweens...It's the bloodsong...The Celt in me demands it.
