Question about flasks

[MRinaldi]

The official policy is no outside food or drink, so if we find it when coming through the gate you have 2 choices back to the car with it or label it and leave it in lost&found til you leave for the day

[Merlin]

Grrrrr..... I ordered 2 flasks...only to find out later that they are being shipped from CHINA !

Looks like I'll be following around Fraser to sneak a nip from his.


His flask, that is.


If I can get some nice glass bottles blown at faire this time... I may purchase a couple of those to add to Merlins magic potion carriers.

So would that include even a water bottle?

What is this "water" you speak of?

Is it finely aged in wooden casks for 12-18 years?

Fraser.... you and I should try some of this "water" stuff one day.... perhaps the English are on to something.


Hmmmmm.....

[Laird Fraser of Lovatt]

Ach no, Laddie... i tried that "water" stuff once... nary a buzz and i wasn't thirsty for an hour.

I would say yes, Iain.  They sell water in the faire, why would they let you bring in your own?  I don't intend that sentence to be as snarky as it sounds.  The faire needs to make money in order to run, hence the no outside food and drink.

we will normally let one water bottle slide

What about if you replace the word "one" with "2 or 4" and the word "water" with "scotch" and the word "bottle" with flask?

Not me of course.... but Fraser is a sneaky one.

[MRinaldi]

well lets do the math - a roughly 2000 patrons to get in the gate for opening cannon 8 scots working the gates and we have to check to make sure weapons are peace tied, patrons are not bringing in food or drink, scan or tip rickets and do itr in about 20 seconds.  we do the best we can but some slips through.

Hey!  You're the one that rides the Dragon's Breath!  I have to use distraction...

"LOOK! a Unicorn!"  *rolls 5 gallon cask by gate guard*

[eloquentXI]

RUSTY NAILS!  If you'd like a few... find me at tailgate.  I can drink but i'm bringing a bit more than i can handle by meself in one sitting.

I will take you up on that!  What do you look like?  I will be most likely over with Eloquent.  Seeing as how she is the Dirt Fairy's (my daughter) favorite friend!  lol!   

WEE! I will point you out to each other. He is a really tall, dark-haired, good lookin' Scot. 

[Marietta Graziella]

Well then...

I can neither confirm nor deny the presence of flask or flasks on my person at the time of my entrance into the Scarborough Renaissance Festival grounds. 

However, I do promise to be discreet if/when I should consume any beverages either alcoholic or non from said flask or flasks that may or may not be on my person at the time of my occupation of said festival grounds.

[Merlin]

Might I also add that any covert introduction of any libation on my part...not saying that there is any.... just hypothesizing... (Fraser...that means... "as if") ... in no way effects the amount of money I would spend on spirits inside the faire.....  once again.... just "as if".

The Cat N Fiddle will see me more than they care to.... which brings me to my thread derail... anyone doing the wine tasting?  I'll do it again if there's a group here that wants to.... it's really pretty awesome!

[Butch]

MMMM, Rusty Nail!  Long shot of scotch, and a shot of Drambuie!  Delicious!

I'm assuming it is still OK to bring in refillable containers for Friends of Faire children to use at the FoF areas for H2O/Gatorade.  No one has ever said a word about them.  Heck, I don't even remember the guards asking to empty them on the way out either.  (BTW, this actually reduces the FoF operating cost because they don't have to keep giving out paper cups.)
