Ok CO. Gang Members, we are now down to T-Minus 16 days until the last part of this little Pre-emptive Strike lands in Denver.
This strike has been approved under Executive Order # 69.69.77.77
Questions:
1) Cigar Smokers? (we do brings gifts for the locals)
There will be more later I am sure but the liquid Apple Pie we just made has me grinning!
Liquid apple pie? Sounds awesome ...
And there is a cigar shop ... they had a rather large selection last season. (I don't smoke, but that booth was just down the way from me.)
See I had more edu-ma-ca-tion going on.
We tend to bring our own cigars. I can has picky tastes! LOL!
2) Kodak moment (s)! We gotta have one (billion)! Pwease!
As long as you or someone in your invasion force is the one doing the counting!
Find - or is it make? - your own Kodak moments ... there are endless opportunities around and about the faire. Parade is fun ... as is Tastes Like Burning (fire!) ... and Celtic Legacy ... and the list goes on and on and on and on. And chances are if you don't find those Kodak moments, mayhaps those moments (or a talented photog) will find you! ;D
Or do you mean like an RF.com gathering of sorts? Many of us do congregate at the gate after closing cannon, but nothing officially official.

Since I can't count past 20 that leaves me out of counting.
Yeah the picture gathering thing that is ssooo officially unofficial since this is a pre-emptive strike and really no one is supposed to realize we are there, group picture would be cool! Just a thought!
Good lord that poor cigar girl couldnt make it by my shop with out getting stopped by one or more of my crew.
MMMMM Apple Pie.
You'll have to stop by to see how it compares to the 3 different verisions that I have. ;D
My favorite Apple Pie by far is the one Lee makes. (former pine cone lady and Wiccan priestess) Can't resist the apple pie!
Now Adriana... was it the cigars or the cigar girl that they wanted? LOL!
I have a batch made by the person that Lee got the receipe from.
Well LJ if i am there you can hang out with us pirates

Pirates? It is amazingly honorable when a mercenary dressed in armor is allowed an invite from pirates. They whole crew I run with is pirates! One of these days I gotta make an LJ pirate look! We shall look for you Sir Garath! However, if you see us then the tables must be turned the other way!

Well then I hope you know where to find me, wink wink.
Please remind me when you are coming and I will also bring the big favorite. Chocolate Chai.
We land on the 18th early evening and fly back out on 21st. Part of our party will remain for the following weekend.
We also tried a Blood Orange and Chocolate this go round. We have 3 more also but flavors elude me at this time. Brain does not function well in the AM.
So LJ so you can recognize me

Depending on what time out land, and where you're staying, it might be fun to check out Manitou Springs. And there are some great local breweries around Colorado Springs.
And blood orange and chocolate?! Yum.

We are staying at an RV Park about 2(?) miles from fair. That is what the lady told us.
I will look for you this Saturday, LJ! A few of us will be hanging out at the campground of which you speak, at least for a little while.
Otherwise, hubby and I will be at the Holiday Inn in Castle Rock, Friday and Saturday nights. Would love to meet up with you and share a beverage - or two!
And yeah, Avan deBar is THE Bar!

I know a place you can get a great
meat-a-ball sandwich to go with that...
Yep, your campground is very close to the festival.
11 days and the last part of our group will have landed in CO and be at the campground awaiting entrance to your fine fair. This is so needed for the group. We are also embarking on a business venture here that has us all kinda off on tangents at times.

I once asked that question of Rook (Zazool/Skidmark/Leprechaun/Phippe de Urinal/et. al.) He responded that he wasn't quite sure, but his ex hadn't liked any of them.
::)
Well, EX would mark th' spot, er th' stain in yarr breechez!
Loadin' the RV today continues.
The 1st wave of invaders in our pre-emptive strike has just pulled out of the driveway. Arrival time to Larkspur area is estimated some time early afternoon-ish on Friday!
Huzzah!
Quote from: Zoë on June 14, 2010, 10:57:50 AM
Huzzah!
Zoë,
I gotta apologize. There is no more Key Lime Pie Loki left. Somehow, it got drank. (whistles innocently) I would not know who drank it though. Nope! No way! No How!
Safe travels!
A while ago they checked and said a sign read, "Welcome to Amarillo, TX."

Shucks!
After a flat gets fixed or replaced they are back on the road!
Now some very sad news on of the group cannot make it. Guess there is a mix up in paperwork on her car and she is caught in the middle. It is poopie, just plain poopie!

That stinks!
Car poopie = Methane an Gasoline!
So wave #1 of the pre-emptive strike saw a sign that read. "Welcome to Colorado"! i talked to them not even an hour ago(ish)!
Must have Ren Fair!
Must have Ren Fair!
Must have Ren Fair!
Must have Ren Fair!
Soon you will!!!
A little slow to post this but wave #1 is / has been at the RV Park since this AM that I know of! They were gonna unload the MCs and taken a little spin around the area.
Can't wait to meet you all. ;D
I don't know if you said this earlier but how long are you going to be here and what day(s) are you going to be at the faire?
Skip
Sir Garath,
You'll be meeting two of the Bayou Scoundrels tonight at dinner.
LJ--check out Ziggie's Saloon for me, OK?
Cheap beer and blues--I am so there.

All 6 (possibly 7) will be here this weekend. Only 4 will remain until next weekend.

I will ask Capt. to put it in this weekends agenda. Gotta keep my Wenchie happy! Plus, she sends me places that have booze! I wuv her!
Am going to be cranky all day since I'm not enjoying the beautiful weather, company, and faire in Colorado with all of you. Demmit. >:(
But I do hope you all have a great time!
It is shaping up to be a wonderful weekend for CoRF. Wish you were here to join us all, but hope you will make it latter in the year.

Sorry I will miss some of you but I would love to get some pics of whoever is still here on the 26th. That is barring any excessive rain-snow-hail-earthquake-twister-typhoon-hurricane-meteor shower or anything else I missed that could possibly keep me from taking pictures ;)!!!
Look forward to meeting you and everybody else in just over a week.
Skip
I'll be there on the 26th! Wait, I'll be there every day...hmm...
I'm hoping to get a little more wandering time in next Saturday; the beau is coming to faire for the first time (so be nice) and I'd like to be able to walk the lanes with him a bit if I can get away from work for a little while.
Oh! Oh! Somebody is staying a wee bit longer in Colorado!
:o ;D :o ;D :o
Does that mean I will get to meet you after all? I am hoping so!
Ok just for you I will stay another week and show up to fair this coming weekend. Arm twisting 101!
Huzzah!!!
Here's another huzzah! And I certainly hope you enjoy all your adventures before another weekend of faire!
Soooo much for you to do and see this week. Let us know if you can't decide... we will help you!
Yay maybe I can get a chance to meet you!
I asked where your booth was at. Now part of the questioning was done AFTER I was forced to
spend time in a bottle at the Pirate's Pub! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D So my line of questioning was not the most
interrogatively correct. So, blame the 1st weekend on me.
If you need a guided tour to see people let me know. Or maybe Blushing can play tour guide again, if you give her a merit badge too.
Holy cow!

Just pulled into the house! Gonna shower and SSLLLEEEEPPPPPP! I may sleep as long as the Sleeping in the Forest a Long Time Guy! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Glad you made it home safe! Come back anytime. ;D
Well met, indeed, LJ! The Baroness and I hope to see you back next season.
Today we unloaded The BS RV! SSOO fun, NOT! Was hoping to find the "Do it all over again button" but the got lost some where.
For those who know the story, Yogi made it here!
Tsk tsk ...
It has been great this year to meet so many people from all over the place- one highlight for me was the day Lord Jarhead stopped by and said, "You look familiar," then introduced himself to me. Hopefully our paths will cross again soon!
