Roll Call for McLotofus Camping

[Elnarii]

   Sadly, we are not going to make it this weekend after all... The house we were expecting to be ready in December (after faire) is going to be ready November 1st.  In order to be ready for the move, we will be working our butts off packing this weekend.  Everyone that isn't going to be there for closing, pleeeeease re-consider and go that weekend too!!!  I wont be able to meet all of you that are only going for all hallows, but I'll be there in spirit! (LOL or at least wishing I was there instead of packing!)

On the upside, I will have a whole room dedicated to my sewing space... more room to practice my garb-making skills! 

I checked the list in the first post and noticed that I'm not in that list, but I think I'm counted in the # of tents/people for this weekend... so to all who handle that.. I am sorry!! I'd much rather be there than here working... hehe.

I'm still on for Thanksgiving/closing weekend though...   With a few ren-virgins, even!

Although I am sad you aren't coming to join us, I must say....if I *had* to miss Faire, moving into a new house would be a good reason! Congrats!!!

Alright everyone!!! The Hallows Eve portion of the count WILL BE CLOSED AS OF 4PM! After that, you will need to contact me via cell phone in order to change/modify any camping plans. All entries have been updated to this point. I'll be arriving at camp this evening to make sure that MacLaren didn't cuddle up with a bottle of scotch instead of getting our land LOL. Love you guys, and see you out there!!!!

Huzzah to you Blue for all that you do!  I can't wait to meet you tomorrow.  I hopefully will be out there by lunch time tomorrow.

Blue!! I think I'm getting in 3 hours under the deadline... I just got referred to you all by Teach from the TRF Camping thread this morning.

6 of us plan on camping for the first time at the TRF (only 1 tent), probably 2 of us Friday, and then all 6 on Sat... is there still room in your area? if not, we'll gladly find a spot where we can and just mozy on over and say hello with some rum and ale.

many thanks!

Although it looked as if we would not be able to make faire at all this year, it looks as though we will indeed be there, although not for the weekends we would like, but what the hey... faire is faire and we NEED THIS BADLY!

I am working hard trying to get costuming ready, as the Ice Queen Faerie is getting an upgrade.

We will be attending Pirate weekend, which is the first weekend of November right after Halloween, (not my pick but work schedual and finances as well as Ike have dictated this year's faire for us.)

And we do plan on Thanksgiving Celtic Christmas weekend as well.

Pirate weekend (not this weekend but the following)
will be myself, JP the Yard Troll, Lightlord the Flaming Bonsia aka Jack Frost, and the little Guardian Knight JP III.

My brother, possibly mother, and friends are also supposed to be camping this year for the first time ever this weekend.

  hmm... camp virgins... <WIDE MISCHIEVIOUS FAERIE GRIN> 

Thanksgiving will be myself, JP the Yard Troll, Lightlord the Flaming Bonsia, the little Guardian Knight JP III, and possibly Lightlord's girlfriend.

I can't wait. I NEED THIS BAD!!

I don't care about the details, I'm just glad you guys are gonna make it.

[Taarna]

Me too... I needs me a big ol' Purple Pirate hug!! 

[*Teach*]

The really important question actually is...

*will you be bringing a rum cake Thanksgiving weekend?*

[Taarna]

Teach, at this point I can not promise that. I am currently relocated to a VERY SMALL apartment in League City, as I was displaced by Hurricane Ike. My home is in San Leon.
I wasn't even sure I would be able to make it to faire this year. I lost one of my ren garb costumes today trying to save it. It fell apart in shreds. Material rotted. I have no idea what all was in that water but it was nasty stuff. The rod all my costumes and garb was hanging on FELL during the storm... I don't have much costuming left, but the Ice Queen Faerie I did last year is intact (I hope!) I get it back from the dry cleaners tomorrow, hopfully in one piece.

All I can say is I'll try. I will definately try.

[*Teach*]

I know all the troubles lass, I was in Rita and my family has been hit hard by Ike. Trust me, there aren't many who sympathize more with you than I do
Just gotta give you some grief... 'cause that's what I do

*and of course because I really liked that rum cake*

[Taarna]

For you dear Sir, I will make a concerted effort to bring forth a rum cake or two.

I'm ready to know WHO IS ACTUALLY CAMPING Pirate weekend?!?!

Hubby and I will be arriving Friday around 10:30-11:00 (depending on what kind of time we make after dropping the kiddies off at school -- NO KIDS for us this weekend so we can see Iris and Rose as often as we want YAY!).  Another couple will be joining us (one of whom is a Faire Virgin) sometime between 10 and midnight.  That's 1 "conjoined twin" tent, 1 single tent, 1 shower tent and a EZup.

Although earlier posts have Guinny and her brood listed as camping, a recent e-mail from her reports them attending but NOT camping.  I also saw somewhere that Sir Trent , Lady Ann and Dillon might be camping.  I also see now Taarna et al.  Anyone else?  What time will you be arriving?  We need to appoint a Landgrabber... and I can't be there early enough to volunteer...

[Taarna]

Eeeewwww... good point... What time would a "land grabber" need to be there by? For that matter, what time do the campground gates open? We want to get there EARLY (early for us means BEFORE DARK!) which we never seem to accomplish for some stupid reason... <eyeroll>

My mother had told me she was going this year, I was just informed that she is indeed going, she has invited herself to ride with US and camp with US... Oh lord... I'm gonna need ALOT of LOKI and RUM to get through this weekend...
Anyway, I have to wait for her to get here apparently now before we can leave... she BETTER get here Thursday night... grrrrr.....

By the way, she is a camp virgin and hasn't been to TRF in 25 years... this should be fun...NOT!

[Catherine DArtois]

Hahaha -- so maybe Taarna wants to camp near the treeline... and then  vanish from Mummy's side??? ;-)
