Remember that EZ up I brought last year? Well, I'm using that as my tent this year, with curtain walls, so I can just back into it and open my back hutch. That way, I'm not sleeping on the cold, wet, insect infested ground! I will put it closest to drum circle since I'll be going there when it's a good one.

  Ain't no bugs at Faire!!!

Please take us off the list for Opening Weekend...I am no longer employed so we will not have enough funds to attend.

We have been offered discounted tickets, which we really and truely appreciate, but there is still the issue of gas (I have a gas gussling Ford F250 V10) food and beverages to consider.

We have talked about it and if we can only attend one weekend, it will be AHE,  but we haven't given up on closing weekend yet...just have to wait and see.  Pray that I can get another job pretty soon...

So sorry to hear this, Ann. Sending love and prayers to you guys and we'll miss you three so much Opening Weekend!!

[Laird Fraser of Lovatt]

I second that!  That sucks, Ann!  I would like to go for the Big 3 but will be lucky to go Closing, other than AHE.

It becoming less and less likely that I'll be coming down due to finances.

[Valeria Skyye]

AngieP and crew here we will be camping opening weekend in 1 tent but we are also bringing a small utility tent as well.

[Blue66669]

Alright, guys!

Home stretch for Opening Weekend. Camp plans are put together and ready to go. Can't wait to get out there and get-r-done! Bonbon, I'm going to need someone to bring me the stakes, as well as a rake and ant killer.

And can I borrow a ticket from someone please? Just a loan for the day *pouts*

[mpullen]

Blue brings up a good point. The anticipated rains will bring out our fire ant friends in droves. Spread fire ant killer in your area before you laydown your tent and spread it at least 10 feet beyond. I spread at least two bags in the Drunken Gnome/The Claw/and Chaos areas when I first arrive. The best kind is the one that doesn't need water to be sprayed after application.

Grass rake is needed to clear off the long grass cut just before opening.

Be prepared for lots of water and mud opening weekend. Waterproof your tents. Keep tent contents off of ground level.
