It's tailgate time!!!!!

[Joyce "Delfinia DuSwallow" Howard]

Blood and Vomit? Feline I think you better come on and go to Faire! Steev has a point, you should listen to him!

[Feline Groovy]

I completely understand the gas truck and other points being made -- they're arguments the voices in my head have been having for the past two weeks!  On the other hand, my fencers lose their summer floorspace at the end of August and the digs in question are to be their new floorspace.  My lease doesn't take effect until the first of the September.  I can't have my fencers use the space until I've laid a couple thousand square feet of rubber flooring, let alone set up the strips and squared away at least the roughest basics.  I can't offer classes (which will -- hopefully! -- pay for said flooring and floorspace) until the flooring is in and those roughest basics are smoothed out and refined a bit.  And I'm a one-horse rodeo so if I'm not doing it, it's not being done.

I think right now I'm hoping that the as-yet-undecided-upon 'they' won't be able to deliver the flooring until the day after Labor Day weekend.  If that's the case, I can go to MD and play with a clear conscience!   

[Steev]

Wow.  All those concerns- sounds like you need a vacation.  How about.... faire?

You gotta do what you gotta do.  You still have lots of weekends to choose from-  chin up!

I like the way you think.     At this point, I'm hoping for 'the flooring won't be delivered before that weekend' route.  And if people on the other end of the phone lines and keyboards keep piddling around, that just might come true, yay!

The photo will take place by the Blackfriar Stage on the slope by the chapel.

I'd like to put in a request if at all possible especially on the meats but also anything else.  Could you check to see if there is MSG (monosodium glutemate) in the meat or any sauce you put on it?  Poke'n has MAJOR reactions to it and needs to avoid it.  Doesn't mean not get something if it has it, just please let us know if you know its in there so she can avoid it.  I'll check with her and see what she wants to bring and let you guys know.

So far what I'm planning on:

Banana pudding
Some sort of drink concoction and/or juice
Cookies (suggestions? I'm thinking chocolate chip/walnut. Or oatmeal/chocolate chip/walnut. Or spice cookies with icing. Or this recipe for Triple chocolate espresso bean cookies that I've been meaning to try).

Very good of you to point that out.  There may be other folks who have other allergies / ailments as well (ie nuts or dairy, diabetes etc.). 

[Lairde Guardn]

Hopefully there is not a Guinness Alergy

Pardon the pun, but...that would truly "suck" !
