Capt Spleen m' boy... yer never gonna be safe
If by chance I am able to make it to CORF I won't be able to bring my full rum stash (really, would need a private plane for that).
Being the pirate you are I expect ya to have a drop or two on ya... at least until I see ya.
You may not have any after that

*Colorado rum-stores are hereby put on notice... you have a year to stock up before I arrive*

Yes Zoe, I saw that. Makes me happy that CoRF was selected. I hear a few a grumbling. But Colorado is a wonderful faire. Sure it's not back east, and sure it's not down in the south, we might as well say we are North west as I am not sure Washinton, oregon, Idaho, Montana, or Wyoming have faires. I know Washington had some faires. But anywho

I am thrilled and if Blushing needs help I have raised me noble hand to help out if she needs it.

Coming back to my home state for a Rendezvous sounds incredible! It's been two years since I've been to CORF, and I've been meaning to get back. If I don't get out this coming season, hell nor high water shall keep from coming to Colorado next year.

Super excited for ya'll!

And as one of the co-planners/hosts for the 2010 Rendezvous here at Scarby, if you need any help with figuring out things, planning, etc, don't hesitate to renmail me. I'd be glad to help however I can!

Sorry we didn't get to meet at Scarby, though... I have a feeling you're lots of fun at pubsing!!!  ;)  heheh

I got in trouble at the pubsing for holding the video camera upside down- even though that is how it was handed to me...  :-[

Well, it takes a lot to change the mountains... although I'm not sure that a full scale R/F invasion couldn't accomplish exactly that!  :D 

We'll make it a point to find at least one of you when we're there, though, who will hopefully know how to find the other, and we can all... well, probably just have time to say hi before rushing off to whatever the next activity will be...  LOL  But pubsing, definitely!!!  ;)

You'll get an opportunity to test that theory soon. Lord Jarhead is on his way on a scouting mission, and he's a full-scale invasion all on his own.

I certainly hope to make the time to meet more people this next time. I spent too much of Saturday gawking last RenDezvous, and so many people were gone Sunday, that I didn't meet nearly as many of you as I would have liked.

What? What did I do?

Ok, so questions.

1) Piece-tied weapons ok?
2) Typical weather mid June?
Title: Re: Congratulations CORF; our next Rendezvous for 2011!
Post by: Zoë on May 21, 2010, 10:45:52 AM
1) Peace-tied weapons are fine.
2) Typical weather is there is no typical weather...chances are temps will be anywhere from 50-95, possibility for rain, hail, snow...
(really though, what is possible to happen is there will be cooler temps in the morning, sunshine throughout the day raising the temperature to the mid-80s, and it might possibly rain sometime after 2pm but will clear up before closing cannon...that seems to be the "average" day, but you really never know.  I would pack a cloak and leave it in the car; you can always run and get it if you need it.)

and if you don't peace tie (zip tie) it yourself, they will put one on for you at the gate.  a really big ugly obvious white one.

Don't own a cape. Pubs serving anti-freeze work best!

I use the 3 Cs when peace-tieing / Camouflage - Cover - Concealment but it is very well tied.

Lucky for you, you can get one there.   :D  cuz the booze don't keep the rain off..... the shops that sell t-shirts also have emergency rain ponchos.  ooorrr... you can stand under the eve's at Zoe's booth till it passes.   you could stand under Deme's eve's too..... but you'll be standing in 3" of water.

Besides, it can be fun to play in the rain.  However, I recommend that if you do so, separate yourself from metal objects.   ;D

And I'll have at least one extra cloak on hand ...

Pubs... Centrally located Pirates on the east end, Dancing Bar (Only open during Beer and Wine Tasteing) Central/West end. And at the bottom of the hill next to the jousting

Privies down the hill in both directions from Pirates Pub and up the hill behind Zoe's pop stand. And then right next to the Elephants and by the front gate outside. And another that I always forget about near Puke and Snot at the top of the hill.

Lord Jarhead, while I admire your hearty attitude, you may wish to be aware that the rain of which we speak generally appears in the form of thunderstorms.  The thunder, of course, follows the lightning, which on occasion has been most impressive.  Lightning strikes on the festival grounds are not not at all uncommon.  While the rain may not melt your armor, a lightning strike very well may, and is unlikely to do you a great deal of good in the process.

Post by: Capt Gabriela Fullpepper on May 21, 2010, 10:43:34 PM
Out of the 50 states in the union, Colorado rates number 2 in the amount of lightning strikes. Florida is number 1.. But don't worry, most of those are above tree line and faire sit's at the 6900 foot mark with plenty of tree's. But that doesn't mean when lightning does come you stand under one, or stand in open ground. Last year we had 1 day it struck three spots on the ground. One near front gate (I was about 50 feet from that one and it scared the crap out of me, and scared those in the front gate even more as it wizzed right by them), One in the parking lot, and one by the kitchens.

Oh my!!  How nifty!!  I hope there will be events and gatherings after cannon too.

Like The Spur? Or Chli's? Or Applebee's?Or the little Irish Pub in Castle Rock whose name I don't recall...

Celtic Crossing?

And yes, I concur on the lightning warning...also if there is lightning in the area, don't stand near my booth, we have been struck more consistently than any location on site...

"There are many silly superstitions about lightning, and as a result many people - maybe even you - are terrified of it. You shouldn't worry. Thanks to modern science we now know that lightning is nothing more than huge chunks of electricity that can come out of the sky, anytime, anywhere, and kill you." - Dave Barry

BTW CO gang, congrats on Rendezvous for 2011! Almost forgot my manners there!

I was struck by lighting a few years ago while working in my booth at MNRF.  I'm really sensitive to electrical storms now and can feel the lightning building up before it strikes.  No one will stand near me now out at fest during a storm!  So, who want's to be my tour guide? ;D

Coors supplies most of the libations, so...whatever they make...Light...uh...whatever. I don't drink Coors.

Also, Woodchuck Cider is available at some of the places, not all. Pirates Pub has it. And one other spot - but I don't remember where.
There is sometimes (always?) wine available at the food area next to the jousting arena. All the way at the end, in the corner.

There are two weekends on which there is free grown up drink at the Dancing Bear Pub. Usually for only a few hours and the lines are LONG. One is beer weekend, usually Father's Day and/or Military weekend, early in the season. The other is Wine Revelry, later in the season.

The pub behind the Royal Pavilion has lovely ladies that sell very tasty mead.  My favorite bartender will always be "Beersabub" at the pub next to Italian Kitchen.  She has Blue Moon, Wodchuck, Coors, Killian's, wine, and even soda and water on Gretel's side.

You should definitely find Avan though.  He has some tasty "treats"!

One word of warning though... elephants like roses and liquor.  If they are coming your way or you theirs, keep them hidden.  ;)

They also seem to like beer quite a lot.  I've seen participants standing too close to the parade route have their Coors cups drained almost instantaneously by a passing elephant.

At least I will have the courtesy, unlike a passing elephant on the parade route that drains patrons Coors cups almost instantaneously, and offer a refill. Though I have to give credit where credit is due. Who are we to question an elephant that drinks beer? In full armor as I will be on Saturday, the big one has me out weighed and proly out-armored too. Plus, they really have no place to hold money. As far as eating roses, hey, let them dine at a flowery chowhall says I!

So the score at the bottom of the 8th would be: Elephant - A Ton (no pun intended)  / LJ - Not A Ton

HOWEVER, in the top of the 9th, needing just to prove who's armor and drinking ability out weighs the massive one (up and at 'em, Atom Ant!) LJ comes through and walks out the gate with Blushing by his side and waves "Bye Bye" to said Elephant! The game is the called due to lighting strikes (uses previous posts to my advantage) and LJ takes the series!

Enough of the off the wall thoughts! It is down to 23 days (to heck with a wake up call) and I shall walk your the lanes in your wondrous fair. I am blessed to be able to do so and look forward to meeting one and every each of you as you.

As for booze - the Pirates Pub has Captain Morgan on hand now too.  They are the only pub that serves it there (at least as far as I know, that could have changed this year).
