Title: Which other weekends will you be attending?
Post by: anne of oaktower on July 08, 2008, 02:10:59 PM
Greetings, all!  GLMF was a blast on opening day.  Great to see so many friends there and to meet many, many new ones.  (I regret missing the morning tailgate!)

So, which other weekends will any of you be in attendance?  At this point, I believe that Brogan (Michael) and I will be going on the 19th and/or 20th.

If any of you stayed in a hotel/motel/campground (cabin), please let me know where, and what you thought of it.  We will be looking for somewhere to stay for at least one night, possibly two.  We don't need anything fancy...cheap is good...clean is a must.  One bed and a bathroom will suffice.  A coffeemaker and/or a fridge would be an added bonus.  Food nearby would be nice.

Look forward to seeing everyone again soon!

A/O, I stayed at the Howard Johnson's 7 miles up from Faire on SR534 just the other side of the interstate.  The room did not have a fridge although I did not request one, it did have a coffee maker and they served continental breakfast starting at 6:30am.

I'll be at all of them.. Just look for the white priest robes!

I'm planning on missing one day this run: July 19th, because I'm splitting the weekend with the Cleveland Irish Festival.

You can add me, Black Matt and GypsyWriter for Saturday and Sunday. We might possibly convince our brother to venture into the shire on Saturday. The heat does pose some concern.

Mumsies-it'll be great to meet your mom. Our mom came along for her first visit last Saturday. She actually enjoyed the downpour.

I will be driving down on 8/02, my first real faire :)  Very excited. Also looking for a list of hotels in the area if anyone knows any.  I will look into the one mentioned above.
Title: Re: Which other weekends will you be attending?
Post by: robert of armstrong on July 21, 2008, 08:46:11 AM
As well, driving down August 2 to stay over and hit the Faire on the Sunday.  Saturday as well, if we get there early enough.

Okay, another great weekend has come and gone...who will be attending for 26/27th? Mr. Mumsies and I are planning to be there. Decided to change our plans for overnights, drive up early Saturday, stay Sat and Sun night, take a day off on Monday....Makes it much more fun to have a chance to stay for the full day on Sunday! See you soon!

Maybe she will offer up lunch at the Sharp Edge where I can indulge in some delightful Belgium Ales!!!

But I will e there on Sunday Morn.  To raise a Glas or three to absent friends (Charity and Sir Wolf, Scotsman and Lady Guinness, and Scarlett and Morwyn).

Good night all...

DuCoeur, luv, kindly raise a glass for me as well.  The van would not make the trip even if I had cash to spare (the water pump is shot and can't be replaced until Monday), and both teens are coming home this weekend.  *sigh*  I'd really rather be at faire  :'(

Well...Pirate Weekend has come and gone. To all my Sterling Family, it was wonderful to see you in Avaloch and I hope you had a good time! To all my Pittsburghian Family....as always, hanging with you guys is always awesome and Syrac and I totally kicked arse over at the Archery Range! Well done, my friend...should the Shire ever be attacked by marauding CD's and string....we've got the place covered!!!  ;) To my GLMF Family....I love ya, maaaaaaaaan!!!!!

Hard to believe there are only 2 more weekends left....*sniff, sniff*...but there is always ORF and MDRF (and Pittsburgh if we can swing a day....)

Until we meet again, take care!

I just wanted to take a moment and thank all of my wonderful faire friends. Scotsman and I were thrilled to have another chance to spend time with all of you. I for one had a fabulous time with such fantastic people. Too many to list individually but you all know who you are and how I feel about our friendships. I can not wait to see you all again in Ohio and if not there then at Pittsburgh and if not there then maybe PARF and if not there then hopefully my shire. Hugs to all!
