okay, I don't know if some sort of chaos demon or spirit of anger got loose on the world, but I have seen a dozen cases of otherwise normal, civil, levelheaded people go nuclear over the simplest things. ...
Yeah, it happened on an episode of Star Trek:TOS... The solution is to laugh and the evil infiltrator will go elsewhere...

Still... Scally was extremely disappointed, since we've been trying to plan this for a while, now... and she's never been to a drive-in before.  We'll try again next weekend, and just hope they still have to same movies...

If you ever find yourself near Wimberley, TX, you might check out the Theater that's mentioned at minute 21:29 in Episode 204 of Day Tripper with Chet Garner.  I know if I'm ever over in that area of TX, I want to visit the place that's mentioned at minute 16:55.   ;D

Take Care,
David Baldock

Thanks!  Now I'm really missing Wimberley...  :'(  I used to go there at least twice a year before a friend moved away from there.  I really need to go back!

There is a drive-in near Tomball. Have not been there but I have heard it is good.

Captain Teague

Love me some drive-ins.  ;D

One good place to find them is http://www.drive-ins.com/

Absolutely none near me now *sniff*  :-\

If you have any near you not listed on that site, let them know they will add it.  :)

Im thinking a good percentage of this 460 page topic has little to do with an actual countdown for TRF, so my post was well placed  ;D

It was a nice mix of somber and peppy and I have a feeling they wont be noisy like that again.


So on topic, getting close, need to start getting ready!

118 days left, is all!!!  I won't bother with hours, minutes and seconds until we're under 100...  ;)  heheh

Already have some fun new garb pieces for my Scally Wag, and am trying to get it together enough to start sewing for myself soon, but that pesky work thing has been getting in teh way lately...  ::) 


How's the A-frame coming along, Crash?

Ive got the frame done, need to carve the dragon heads on it and then we will start working on the canvas.  Had to take time off of that project to make a new core for a scabbard I had. I wanted to re-wrap it with leather as opposed to the suede it came with, to make it more accurate, but when i unwrapped it I broke the core.

Never made one before, but I think it turned out well.

In't that what we always get for fixing something what ain't broke?  :P  heheh  Maybe you should have just wrapped leather over the existing suede?  I'm sure it turned out awesome, though!  Pics, please?

The A-frame sounds really cool!  I'd like to see pics of it, as well, since you won't be there for AHE again this year...  :P

I just finished the wood core today but I dont have any 2oz leather left. Once its done I post a pic. So far its working well, sword fits nicely and is much better than the cheap core I had before.

That is one thing I have always enjoyed about the community, the sheer volume of crafting talent.

Drive-in has cleared out except for one other car, but they're supposed to play THOR next... so they need to get on with it! X-Men rocked pretty hard!!! Kung-Fu Panda 2 (not the original) was just what I thought it would be...


Crash, the scabbard sounds cool...can't wait to see it!


Fae, you can count on it!  ;)

Hmph... they never did play THOR tonight, and I'm just a bit miffed!  I never would have made the 50 mile round trip AGAIN tonight if I thought they were only going to play the two movies, especially since the website said they would be playing all three!!!  :-\




Fraser, be safe in your travels today!  :)
