We need to regroup with this info...
Goody! You out there still?
Ok what do ya want to know?? Just home from OWRF meeting. Stopped at campground that is closer to the faire (good) but it is also close to the highway (bad) oh and close to the only bar in the area (like right across the street! Good) SOOO, tried to go to Spirit Mountain to look around to pick better spot but it was closed. So, does anybody have any thoughts? Would you rather be at Sp. Mt or are you willing to try someplace new, thats not secluded? Post now or forever hold ur peace. On monday I will call Spirit Mt to see what's available at this point.
owrenfaire.com

Closer to faire good!!!
Bar close in case of running out of beer good!!
Close to highway will keep bears away from Muffin..good!!!
Will not hear cars...will be drinking rum.. :o
As long as I can take a hot shower and have a cold beer, I don't care if we're camping in the ditch... :P ;D
I'd rather be close to faire and in a place that is preferably bear free. And within stumbling distance from a bar is just good fortune. I'm all for the new place. Let's be adventurous!
Goody,
Are you still in need of someone helping you beg for mead?
Me and my eyelashes are still available. (especially since I am camping on your couch.)
I second the previous votes. near by bars are always a plus. ;D
Yup... Closer to Faire, close to a bar, close to the highway= no bears..... All GOOD!!! ;D
And there is the news as it stands today.
+10 close to faire
+10 across the street from the bar.
Tell us what we need to do Goody.
Hi everyone!
Laurel and I will be up at Twig Saturday but heading home after close so she can be with her Dad on Sunday for Father's Day.
I look forward to seeing folks :)
Those dragonflies on the Twig website are just about the cutest things I've ever seen! I love the dragonflies at Twig who so graciously eat many mosquitos for us. It's like having little dragonfly friends....
I just got an invite to a wedding for the weekend of Twig. Fortunately it was for a cousin of Georges whom I have never met so I am not going. Twig is still on. Oh and distance from the freeway doesn't mean there won't be bears. We are about 2 blocks or less from 94 and we have bears in the back yard every year.

Can't wait to see you!!

Well we most certainly can bat our eyelashes! And you will have a bed. Its a twin made up with Tweety Bird bedding but it's better than a couch!

The folks were telling me about the new ideas for the children's are and I thought of you! We love the dragonflies too. I've made several beaded necklaces with dragonfly charms.
Yay, no flood control!! Well as I said on some other posting somewhere is that we can try this place and if u don't like it we can do something different next year. I am kicking myself for not noticing the bathrooms while I was there. Dumb! but people that I have talked to say they are nice. I'll be out there on May 31 so perhaps I will stop again to confirm in person.
I am so excited. We are gonna have so much fun! I kinda felt bad that I didn't play a better hostess last yr in regards to showing off Duluth. U were literally 1/2 mi from overlook of all of Duluth. Not that anyone was in any shape to drive 2 ft on Fri (and I know some people did do some exploring on their own) but if anyone is interested perhaps we can load up in a minivan or two and take a lil nitetime tour on Fri. I enjoyed our Sun am breakfast. Would peeps be up for that again? I can find a good restaurant in the area. (similar to Perkins/Country Kitchen). IS IT TIME YET??
So Goody... What do we need to do from here? Is there a number for the campground to call and make reservations? Or are we just sending the money to you? ;D
Let me know....
xoxo,
Muffin
:-*
Oh right yes the details...It is $15 per night which can be sent to me. It'll be on my credit card.
Thanks honey!! Just sent you a message... ;D
Yes, let's do breakfast again!!!! PLEASE? I loved that part!
Twig, yes. You need people of intelligence on this sort of thing. Mission. Quest. Where are we going?
Sorry, I have been totally out of it for a few weeks now. Please Goody, post all pertinent info on a Page 12 type setting so I can have some consitency and familiarity to guide me. I'm feeling lost. :-\
I am officially working at the gate at Twig. I'm getting more and more excited as things progress... and more and more excited about school being near over and getting away from teenagers for a good long while.
I'll be at the gate with you! We have a 2 hr shift and it should be while the Dregs are there!
YAY DREGS!!!!

Olde World Renaissance Faire in Twig, MN June 14 & 15 www.owrenfaire.com
Camping will be at Saginaw campground. (Disclaimer-we will try this place to see if it works well for the group. I am told they have nice showers) The cost is $15 per double occupancy per night (2 peeps in a tent. I believe it is $1 more for each person). Checks can be sent to me. "renmail" for address. I'll have the PVC sign up there. The tent site is off to the right when you come in. The area is kinda small, grassy, with 3 fire rings so we'll just be setting up tents whereever (like there's not "pads" or anything.)

OK so nobody gave me any thoughts, so I have changed for us to eat out on Sat morn instead.

Hi Goody! Can you please message me your address for the camp money. I sent you a PM, but I guess I must have done something wrong with it.
Thanks tons!
Yes have been busy with directions. Will send in a sec! :)
Sending you a check today... ;D
xoxo,
Muffin
I will be there, close to the Faire is great, close to the bar is great... how much is camping Goody??
Anyone want to split the cost of a site? I have a tent big enough for 2 possibly 3 LOL, I stayed in it all last season during fest in Shakopee.
Oh, and Angelina (Jo) from the Dregs posted on her Myspace that she has an extra motel room reservation ... going fast possibly gone... FYI LMAO
Blessed Be
Say hello to our friends from "the Attic" they'll be selling some of our games at Twig.
This will be not only my first year attending Twig, but I'm also a performer/musical act.
Anything you can think of that I should know going in? I have no idea what the grounds are like, or what I should expect.
Goody I need your address too.

i have listened to you on ur website and the owners of the faire have raved about you, so I very much look forward to meeting you. I will be at the checkin table on Friday so you'll have tell me that u r Caterina. Just think Big field in Twig surrounded by trees on the perimeter mostly. All the entertainers who travel always comment on the beauty of the area. I believe that is why it is a soft site faire so it can be "returned to nature" each yr.
This is gonna be fun!!!

If this sounds stupid let me know.. when we get to the camp grounds..should we be letting the person in charge know that we are with the R/F group? or ....? um.. are we in a certain area? or.....? not really sure where I am going with this..
Good question LD. Perhaps they'll have us in a roped off area with big quarentine signs all around... ;D Goody, will you be putting up the R/F banner again? That was such a nice touch last year. It felt like out own private area.
Yeah I'll have the PVC sign up there. It is not big at all! There is only one tent site as far as I can tell. I don't think you'll need to check in since it's prepaid. The are is kinda small, grassy, with 3 fire rings so we'll just be setting up tents whereever (like there's not "pads" or anything.
Ya know, may be biting off more than I can chew, but does anyone feel like doing a mulligan stew, or something along those lines on Sat night?
Will start another topic if there's interest.

so we be able to easily find our "group" then.
Great we will get the crappy site since we are only staying Saturday :-\

There is no "site" more crappier than the other. It's a hunk of grass along the highway (with a row of pine trees in between. Remember it is closer to the faire with a BAR right next door!
On another note. I have been wanting to get a new camping grill and this sounds like the oppertune time to get one for. We have a griddle for our stove so I am offering the make pancakes and sausage for sunday morning. So if people want to volunteer to bring the other stuff like plates, forks, and syrup, OJ that would be nice.
Perhaps some of us could make a breakfast food run Saturday night after fest but before festivities. I'd be willing to help with that. Have I mentioned how excited I am? I'm super excited.
PS... and yet another shameless plug for me... I'll be bringing my jewelry supplies and items for sale with me even though I will not be vending in any way shape or form at Twig. So, if anyone has seen something in my shop and would like haggle with me, here's your chance to do it in person.
You're going to love that grill Sleepy. I picked up a cast iron one from REI that sits on top of the coleman stove. Very even heat.

That looks delish!!! Still interested in this idea?
Would we like to attempt any other meals at all?? Not sure who's arriving when on Friday and then there's breakfast on Saturday as well...oh wait, we may have that covered! :)

So are we cancelling our breakfast out as previously planned for Sun morn? Or should we potluck breakfast on Sat morn and still restaurant for Sun morn?
Also, I was avoiding this as I can't say for sure but remember last yr when I got afterparty passes for all of you but we already had Nachos planned at my house and then nobody wanted to go. Well I was hoping the sheriff would allow us passes again and I plan to bring nachos there on top of whatever they may have. This is not definite so if the group would prefer to go with Mulligan stew and potluck that's ok or else just wing it!
we may be interested in the after party passes thing..
Oooo.... Ooooo.... pick me! I want after party! I didn't know we had after party passes last year... but then again I had the migraine of the century that night too so... I'm surprised I remember anything.
So I am not the only one bringing a camp stove with Grill and griddle on it I can bring Hash Browns and some other stuff. But I am having problems finding Amber.
Did spomeone say AMBER??? yummy LOL I can't get it anywhere up here :{
I will bring my small gas grill that I use for camping, I plan on coming over Sat. a.m. and meeting people at Fest than camping Sat. nite ... doing whatever on Sunday then back here ... See you all there!
ooh, this is sounding like fun!
Gonna have to try to talk the hubby into camping this year!
I think with the after passes last year, at least as far as I was concerned, I was pretty wiped out, and while the after party sounded fun, going to the party and driving all the way back to camp sounded unappealing.
This time we're camping super close to Twig! Sounds much nicer this year.
Hey I think I'm going to twig this year!! but I have to stay with Auntie because Im still a wee little girl and mommy and daddy dont want me to get eaten. But I still might get to go!

Yay!
The more, the merrier! :D
Getting super excited for Twig! Can't wait to finally put faces to the web-names!
It'll probably just be me and my youngest on Saturday- my oldest still needs some convincing, and hubby has to work.
*~*niemi*~*
*crosses fingers for a nice weekend*
Can we maybe get a possible update on page 12 with some kinda of schedule for the weekend? Like the breakfast issues and such... I'd kinda like to know exactly whats going on so I can think of what I can bring!
How many people are planning on Fest both days? Not sure yet but I may do Duluth on Sunday. Haven't been there in a while!
Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory HERE I COME!!!
YES an update is needed.
What are the plans for food and such. Should I bring a grill or not. We are in the process of being kidlet free that weekend and if that happens we will come up Friday night, if not we are coming Saturday. So whats the agenda?
I don't know about the rest of you, but I have to check in on Friday since I'll be issued a badge and be working both days. So, I'll be there Friday through later on Sunday before driving back to my parents place.
Your northland hostess has done her best to update Page 12 (on page 2)!!
Will,
Are you bringing your Amish bread?
Yummy for the tummy. ;D
Since Twig will be here before we know it.. Do we want to start making some firmer plans for the weekend, potluck etc...
I will plan to bring Muffins (hee hee of course) to share for Saturday morning....
Do we want to do a potluck on Sat. night or is it just to hard with being at faire all day?
Let's get planning!! ;D :-*
I second Muffins idea of getting the planning rolling!
Personally,
Love the idea of a potluck! I'm sure we could find something rather tasty that'll keep decently in a cooler or can be cooked semi-easily over a stove or something.
Muffin are you gonna be the offical page 12 starter upper? ;D
Page 12 is on page 2 already ;)
Questions about the campsite and other things...
Do we have electricity available at our location (I mean, where the tents are, not in the showers)? Can you say, "crockpot"!
Shade? Do we have lots of tree coverage like last years site or is it more barren like the WIRF site? (we won't need the canopy if it's like last year)
The boys have yet to give me a firm answer if they are coming along but I will most definitely be there Friday night!
I love the idea of the potluck breakfast and dinners. That way everyone can bring a little and still enjoy a lot.
For the use of any or all, I will bring:
1 shade canopy, if needed (2, if I don't have very many boys with me)
1 cast iron skillet (Last year we cooked a sausage/egg/hashbrown dish right in the fire. Good stuff.)
Food for sharing
OK Should we start a list of what we will bring for the Potlucks so we do not double up to much. I will get Hash Browns for the breakfast and brats for the Dinner :)
Man it's time to get busy. Garb needs to be found. Tent poles replaced. I need a new air mattress...oh and a tarp for under the tent too. Still need to send Goody $ for campsite! Hey Goody, are they pretty booked up there, I'd hate to loose a spot.
I want to contribute to the potlucks, but am quite an inexperienced camper and don't know what to bring that will keep well and be tasty. Suggestions would be much appreciated!
YAY Faire's just around the corner!
Leyla, it's called Byerly's Deli and ice! ;) :D You'll be fine.
Too excited! Too excited!
OK am going to the campground now since it is Twig gathering day.
MG-I believe we would benefit from at least 1 canopy.
Will find out about plug ins.
I have the entire area on reserve so we will not "lose" spots. The space is there and we will make ourselves fit!
*************MOST IMPORTANTLY**********
If it's alright, I changed my mind and planned to have a nacho bar (like last yr) at the campground for Saturday dinner. Any objections???
I object!! .... Only if I don't get enough guacamole for my chips! ;) :D
Will there be anything planned during the day?? We should get there around 10am on Saturday, but will not be camping. It'll just be me and my youngest.
Can't wait! Getting giddy!!
*niemi*
I think the only plan for during the day is to wander the faire and have fun.... ;D
Goody! Still ned that mailing address, unless I can just hand deliver my campground payment. ::)
Please note changes to Page 12
Reguarding afterparty, parade, and breakfast out
Well Jenn has daycare kids til 530 pm I believe, I was hoping we would get out of town earlier. Someone save us a good spot lol (we have a big tent due to family so we need big space.
that reminds me i have to find the blower upper for the air mattress. hmmmmmm...
Does anyone know if they sell pewter cups out there or is someone willing to let me borrow one. Lord William wont drink out of anything but....
Cant wait to see everyone.
Im gonna bring some LOKI anybody else? I dont know how good it us. But Im sure I can find some taste testers.
Mead and smirnoff is on the list too.
Oh BTW for you coffee drinkiers I have a plug in for my car that takes regular plugs so if you bring a coffee maker you can brew coffee. I dont know what wattage it can handle so no microwaves and such ;)
Anybody have kids going?? My 9 year old wants to know...

ok neighbor guy and I pulled out the loki last night. he says he doesnt like sweet but had 20ish shots, (wait that zero shouldnt be there cuz thats not moderation). i enjoyed the lemon, like limoncello.
not sure how good ur car is but when I take the renwagon (moms minivan) i use the converter for curling iron. when i asked if it could handle toast my mom said it would prolly blow a fuse.

She's 12 already...woohoo wait til she's 14!!!!! Bahahahahahaha!!!! :o
Now please Sleepy tell me you've got that kid on the straight and narrow.
Wait a sec...*looking at your profile shot again* (smiling boss, actual giggling.)
It's never gonna happen Baron. We will ust keep counting the years til she goes to college :-X
My wife, 2 year old son and I will be going to the Twig fair Saturday maybe Sunday. Have some new boots from Catskill Mountain Moccasins that we hope are done by then!
The inlaws live on the Iron range so we will probably stay there Fri-Sat evening.
Hope the weather is nice. Would like to meet up with others from here for sure.
So is pretty much everyone going to the faire both sat and sun? I was thinking about duluth sunday but I think I'll just stick with faire!
Don't know what I want to bring for food yet... I'll think of something sooner than later I hope!
Hey goody if we are doing a potluck for food can u post what people are bringing by their names so we kinda know whats gonna be there and what to bring? If we are eating out on sunday im not buying a grill yet then, can use the money for twig itself.
well not to much has been said re foodstuffs. I added to pg 12 but havent had many replies. I called Swamp Sisters which is a farm located just down road from faire. They are not open for breakfast on Sun-ONLY Sat so I wondered if people wanted to switch our eating out day to Sat morning instead.
For dinner sat there is the after party at fest grounds. I have been recieving requests for passes. Is that the potluck you want me to post? If so people who plan to eat there can post what they plan to bring and I will add to Pg 12. I hope I'm not confusing everyone!?!
LAST CALL
I have been ok'd by the "front gate manager" to find a person to cover a shift at the gate. It is for 2 hrs each day and alongside Divapixie. If you would be interested in helping and receiving free tix plus other perks please let me know ASAP. PM me ASAP!! I really need to go to bed now!
We have a change in rehearsal schedules, and now aren't able to come. *sniff* I am so bummed. *sigh*... I'm hoping we can make a day trip to WIRF either the 27th or 28th. Have fun in Twig everyone... I'll meet ya'll someday ;)

NOOOO RAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*shrugs*
I'm a pirate, I ain't afeared of a little water!
I've got a dog I can't leave alone all weekend, and I don't camp, and I can't afford a hotel, so if I make it at all, it'll have to be just for the day.
Any chance there's someone else in the same situation?

How about this then Rage......

The P. Pub and its beer Wenches..... ;D
Just a light shower....
And the view is good!
wow i was gonna go looking for some pics I took but I think that one does the trick!
aye.. those that made their way to our pub that day were stranded unless you brought a boat.. *mental note* bring boat with this year.. added to fest list... (and Capt. that means it's added to the list of things I'm not supposed to lose)***
the uh puddle or lake (since we are in MN, it would be counted as a lake) was at least knee deep...
But then again being stranded wasn't so bad... We have beer... ;D
If I recall they actually did close fest early that day... Boooooooooo!!!!
Late notice and all, but does anybody need a carpool for Sat or Sun? I can only stay for a day.

Found 3 bottles of Amber anyone thirsty. ::)
MMMM bring one up... I may need a little for my hookah, and some for me too Jim
Who's freakin excited? Me!! That's who!!! ;D
so not ready tho...
Must air out tent... can't rain.. need to do that..
must sew new skirt...
where the heck is all my camping stuff anyways?
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
still.. can't wait, can't wait, can't wait!!! ;D ;D ;D
Ok went to Walmart Saturday morning after work. Picked up fuel, a new gas light, fixed another one I had. There will be loght folks. Picked up a grill. I have my car packed 3/4 done. Now just have to go to Costco and get pancake mix.
Totally NOT ready. VV leaves on Wednesday so I'm am preoccupied ( ;)) with him and not Twig. Can I pull it all together in just a couple of days? Guess we'll find out.
What time are people leaving? Is there going to be a convoy heading up or just make your way and meet at the end?
Goody, I'll pay for my campsite when we get there. I'm sorry I didn't send a check before now. With VV home I'm just so distracted!
Oh, also, Friday June 6th was our 16th anniversary! Huzzah! We had dinner on the MN Zephyr. What fun!
I had my weekends mixed up, and can't make it :( I was hoping to get a faire fix, but instead of an enjoyable weekend, I'm stuck listening to conference papers on women's history. Hopefully some of them should be interesting--the ones on medieval Japan should be good, and a couple of medieval women--but most of them are modern history, yuck.

Ahhh bummer!! Well there will be some other events coming up for you to join in on!!! ;D
So, can't wait. Steven has worked every single night since Memorial day. We are leaving Friday night as soon as the last day care kid leaves. Looking like 4:45-5ish. So looking forward to seeing every one!
I am getting very excited, but very nervous about this weekend! I still have to plan out my show and pick out the songs I definitely want to sing. Oh and make sure my costume still fits, plan out what I'm bringing, etc. I wont be camping because my fiance's parents have a farm only an hour away so I'll be driving back and forth to a nice warm bed at the end of the night. And this Friday is my and my fiance's 10th anniversary (of dating) so we're planning on spending Saturday night together.
On Friday, anyone else getting there earlier? I am planning on checking in early and then I'm going to hit duluth till my in laws (future in laws that is) get to their cabin for the weekend that evening. If anyone wants to join me that day you are more than welcome.
I think we are planning to head out of Minneapolis around 4:00 ish, so we should be getting there around 6:30 or so depending on traffic.. ;D

I got a message from Stacey late last week and she said that she and Anit are coming up on Saturday morning... :)
Just to let people know: I know there are plans to eat out and sucH at different times. I plan on eating breakfast at the camp site both days. So I am buying a lot of pancake mix and syrup and am making pancakes Saturday and Sunday. you are all welcome to join in. I may even have extra eggs for scrambled eggs too. :D

You know I considered coming to this this year...and then Tanner offered to take me to Duluth for Mother's Day and the first weekend that worked is the same weekend. And yes I know I know I will be SOOOO CLOOOSSEE however..
This weekend just happens to be our 6 month anniversary and so I think our weekend will be spent with much seclusion in a hotel in Duluth...oh..and with some beer battered french fries. Tasty.
Hope you guys have a blast!
So, I've been out of town forever. And I'm only gonna be home tonight and tomorrow before I come your way ladies and gents... I will be stopping at Viola and Naughty Mage's for the night on the 11th. Then I'm headed up to my parent's on the 12th and will be having lunch with renren while there. Then I'll be checking in for Twig sometime on the 13th... Goody I need your phone number again... my SIM card in my phone died while in Florida and I have lost some of my information.

Sleepy,
If you haven't already, DON'T buy panckake mix. My Mom works at General Mills, and she gave me five or six coupons for free Bisquick Pancake mix and pour thingies. She thought they would be perfect for camping.
I will "buy" them and bring them with.
Otherwise, I will save for WIRF.
I have a griddle for a campstove too, if you need it.
Let me know either way!
well that works better kate, i havent bought it yet so if you can that would be great. we have a griddle for the stove already but thanks.

Hello! Twig weatherwatch is sunny Saturday and storms on Sunday....but hopefully that will change to sunny both days :)
I am dreaming of grown men dancing in circles wearing polar bear hats and dragonfly necklaces.
We're coming to Duluth early Friday, bumming around and staying in a hotel, then heading to Twig for opening gate Saturday.
I can't wait!!!!! ;D ;D ;D
WOOHOO!! Its the final countdown! I am so excited. Siouxland was a wonderful way to get into the season and now I am SOOOOO excited for OWRF!!!!! Got alot to do first tho. Gotta clean house, buy groceries for nacho bar, complete items for review at work...ughh feeling overwhelmed and completely distracted!!!! but yay!!!!
I'm Here!!! I'm here!! Yeah we are SO Going!! Are you riding with us Sitara? We are not going to be camping...but you can ride with us....I will send you an email!! I can't wait, this is going to be SO FUN!!! ;D

Took a peek back at page 12 to see how things are going. Are we not doing a potluck anymore? I just want to be sure I don't need to bring anything if we aren't. Or are we still sorta planning on having a potluck breakfast Sunday morning?
YAY FEST!!!
Yay! Anit is back! So things are looking good and we should be seeing you all on Saturday!
All shifts covered... ;D Now to find away to fit Jack's drinking with mine??? 8)
I'm on my way up tomorrow. I'll be at Viola and NM's place tomorrow evening for an overnighter and then continue on to my parents on Thursday. YAY fest! And I managed to talk the minion into letting me bring his fancy new camera too... tee hee...
Well, we'll be there, but no camping or hotel. Kids will be with us on sunday.
Hubby and I will be there for opening saturday, Serena and hubby will attend later,as they have a store to run...Now I gotta shop for some good rum, and a flask to hide it in! (Thanks, Jack, now I'm hooked! ;D)
I'll be bringing a tasty treat that I picked up at the pirate festival this last weekend.....Pirate's Choice Key Lime Rum! I'm lucky to have scored this, as it's currently only available in the Florida Keys no less!
Looks like Synn, Sorcha, Rune and I are looking at being there Saturday! Yea Fest!!!
Rum....check. Scotch....check. Loki....double check. ;D
Lightsabers....lightsabers....first aid kit AND lightsabers...check. :P
Lightsabers??? did i miss sumthin????
*packs extra bandages for DB* Knowing him with an ax I might as well be bringing the staple gun and suture kit as well. Oh yea and tetanus.

Yep....jumping over raging campfires while in a kilt and swinging lightsabers while intoxicated....good times!
Note to self: Bring fire extinguisher....
What is everyone planning on wearing? I'm looking at weather.com and they are now calling for temps in mid to high 60's and rain fri-sun. Im not bringing my FOP with that much chance of rain so it leaves me with my Knight garb and pirate garb. I can do without the chanmail and just wear the tunic and nice warm cloak.
Goody Im guessing their will be wood for campfires there right? Are their picnic tables there or should we bring tables?
~Sleepy
I too am re-examining my wardrobe choices for the weekend. I don't mind getting wet, but I don't want to be cold, wet, and ruined!
Hmmm.... How period is my yellow "Gorton's" Fisherman raincoat?
Mayhap I should go buy ye olde galoshes. Was very envious of Stacey and Muffins dry feet last season.

I heard Glensheen is giving free tours this weekend as part of there anniversary celebration...cool but could get busy. Neat place, LOVE the breakfast room!!!
Damn! I forgot the about the burn cream.... 8)

Ach!!! I'm looking at the weather for the weekend... Things are not looking good. Right now it's 40% rain on Friday/Saturday.
Ugh. Am I terrible if I don't dress up?!? I don't have a proper "garb" rain coat. :-[
I keep tellin' ya to go pyrate because you're already in gear meant to get wet. But will anybody listen to me? NoooOOOoooo! ;) :D

You missed Mon at Tn.....rain coat....would not have helped. :o We still had a lot of fun thou. ;D
*Sigh*... have fun, y'all!!
Quick update...
With the imminent forecast of rain, my boys have opted out of the whole weekend adventure. They are not big into the camping thing and the idea of wet camping just put them right off.
So, that means I will be there solo! Big fun for me. I don't mind a bit of rain. Heck, I don't even mind a lot of rain.
I'm not planning to attend the Saturday night after party and will be hanging out in my tent area if anyone else is planning same, I'll be thankful for the company.
Turns out we left the tent at my mom's, and my step-dad and brothers took it out camping with the busted poles. I picked it up to find the poles all nicely taped up. Good thing too, went to buy new poles anyways and discovered it would have been cheaper to just buy a whole new tent rather than replace the poles! So I think I'm going to pick up some duck tape to bring with just in case.
Now I really need to go to bed so I can wake up and clean all the garb we're bringing!

LD & I are bringing Pie Irons. We are bringing some apple & cherry pie filling and a loaf of bread. You can make pizzas, grilled cheese, ham & cheese or what ever with these.
I only have two (one cast iron one aluminum), basically you put the stuff in them between buttered bread and stick them into the coals of the fire to cook whatever it is you have.
If anyone wants to try them bring some stuff up. We will probably have some extra but you might wnat to bring some bread and fillings if you want to try them....
Those Rule!! Ive got a set of those as well! My fave is making breakfast sammies with them. Just make sure you have a cold beverage handy for "CONTENTs MAY BE HOT!"
20 to 30% chance for rain

My wife and I should be up there sometime Saturday and hopefully Sunday. Lookinfg foreward to some good mead. I see 3 Celts & Company won't be there this year. Pity, always did like that booth.

What time is everyone arriving at camp tomorrow? If you are camping that is...
soooo, when can peoples actually start arriving at the campground? or has this already been covered
I called Goody this evening... admist her madness and cleaning frenzy... and she will be at the fest grounds helping setup... I'm planning to leave my parents after I get up shower. My plan is to head to the grounds and assist Goody with her duties and then to head to the campground to setup my tent. I'll probably be out to the campgounrd around noon... maybe a little after.

Two words....
S'mores anyone?
I am bringing stuff to make them. Anyone got the pokey things for marshmellows? Perfect for the campfire!
I'll just eat the chocolate part. LOL
Hey you guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuys!
Are ya packed yet?
Me, no.
But most of the stuff we are bringing, we usually bring to the lake, so it is basically already packed, just have to throw it into the car. Not a big deal.
However, I probably won't be able to sleep tonight because:
a) I don't have to work tomorrow or Monday and
b) it fest time!!!!!!!!
Don't forget your bug spray!
I've been packed since yesterday...sorta. Bug spray...hmm...that's what I forgot. DANG!!!
Oh well, I have sunscreen...that I apparently will not be needing. Umm...umm...I think I have everything. Hopefully!
My bag is packed. I have more garb than clothes! :o
My food stuff is in piles.
My camping stuff is in piles. (thanks for the reminder about bug spray!)
The tent and canopy are in the garage. I'll pack the van in the morning then take off to Alexandria to drop off boys. Should be to the campgrounds by 6:00pm.
Am bringing some stuff to snack/share for Friday night. Hummus, Tsaziki sauce, pita chips and bread. Yummy carb overload! :P
We are half way packed. Have to work in the morning, but plan to be on the road between 3 - 4. ;D
Are we there yet??? :o
Going to leave in the morning hope to be up there around noonish, Goody can you r/m your cell again lost it when the last forums crashed. ;D
Just started seriously packing and cleaning and making lists about 9 here. Man where dose the time go? Tarac when are you stopping by and what all did Sleepy say he wanted you to take? I have been bleaching and scrubbing coolers and wondering why we need so many. I sure hope the weekend turns out like today. Great day.
Jennifer
all packed truck and all ready to go
Just getting packed now...can't find anything I'm looking for....I know I'm forgetting something...AGGGH!!!
Hoping to leave around 3PM tomorrow....
As I am leaving around 10ish as far as I know he only was going to send the Cooler If you need to send more I should have room.
Have 4 different Scotchs to sample DB,

Careful you don't get them to hot. I melted one of ours last year. Not sure if it was aluminum or cast iron but it turned to liquid before my eyes.
Reminds me I have to pick up a new one for this years camping.
*sneaks in from work*
GRRRRRRRRRRRR too busy, I should be resting....
Tarac one cooler and I have one of those orange drinking coolers that Jenn was suppsed to pick up lemoade for. (we can add vodka too).
I got mead, rum, and loki packed.
*back to work*
darn night shift sleep pattern. I haven't been to bed yet, busy getting ready for Twig. Now I'm not tired, but have appointments this afternoon before Twig so I *have* to go to bed.
I'm too excited to sleep!
And I just know I'm forgetting something.
You forgot to SLEEEEEEEP :D
I have to work in a little bit, hopefully it will be slow.... :o
I'm packed but need to reload the car for better tent pitching access. I"ll be hopping in the shower shortly and then I'm in the car and on my way. TWIG here I come!!!! See you all this afternoon.... or at least some of you.
I need to go get my garb still. I had a friend pick it up and bring it out here for me and then left it in her car! GAH! Hopefully I'll be able to get a hold of it tonight otherwise I will be winging it. I barely have any garb here!
On the way out the door see you at the campsite
:D ;D
Should be on the road in 20 mins.... ;D
Well as you guys know by now I'm not going.
Didn't want to throw a damper on things.
The ear infection I've had for the last three weeks is on the mend but it will be awhile before I'm good again.
Will be missing you guys.
Looks like I can't make it after all everyone. Sorry but things happen, I will be wishing I was there and I will be there in spirit.
Blessed Be
Storms headed that way after 10pm.
god this so sucks...wish I was there.
Better be more than a few pics.
beautiful day yesterday. Very sunny! Dregs were awesome as usual! I finally have ALL of their CD's. DB filled a whole card on his camera. My FOP debut was fun. Yes we did get some rain there was a scare of hail but it missed us. Jenn and I opted to sleep in the back of the van we are right now. We didn't want to take down a wet tent. It's not raining now but we will see what its like before opening. I can't sleep dangit!!
great time yesterday!!! Wish we could have stayed for more fun today.
Great weather and the Dregs were awesome as usual.
Sleepy, you looked bee-u-tee-full!!!!!
THANK YOU GOODY!!!! You were a great hostess!
We had a blast!
I hope everyone made it home ok!!!
Had an awesome time! Sorry for headin off a night early(before the possible storm) but I know I was pretty drained from the sun(assume Willum was too). Thanks all for all the taste-testing of different drinks! I do say, kilts are a lot comfier than I had previously thought they would be!
Back home from Twig safely. An awesome time was had. ;D
The weather was strange but good. Yes, good. It was about 65 degrees with a slight breeze! Perfect garb weather. Loved that part. We had a few random showers and a completely unnecesary "severe weather" scare. Oh well. No big deal. Thankfully we had "WeatherMom.com" to fall back on (Goody's mom). LOL
Sleepy's fop, Lord William (or Lord FP as I like to call him, :o) made a smashing debut. He looked fabulous. He produced lots of smiles as well as a few concerned looks by parents followed by drawing their children close. Too funny. He even managed to frighten a grown man when we were setting up for a family picture. Sleepy was originally by the mom but I suggested that the picture would look more balanced if he was on the other side (next to the dad-who was totally freaked out!). Wish you all could've seen his face when Lord FP sauntered over and snuggled in next to him. Foptacular!!! We'll never even see that picture since it was on their camera.
Thank you again Goody, for being our Northern Hostess with the Mostest! You do take good care of us. Hugs!
We have returned safely too. The storms turned out to be sprinkles, had heavier showers on the way home. We had a great time, pictures should be up sometime this week. Thanks again Goody for helping set up our weekend..... ;D
Thank you everyone for a great weekend! Wish there hadn't been the crazy weather scare but what can ya do! Let's hope for good weather for WIRF! Stayed til closing today and enjoyed a few more songs from the Dreg's. Am tired...and that's all I know!!! THANK YOU!!
I too am home now and tired... and get this... sunburnt on my face! The one place I just slathered in sunscreen and I still burned. Weird. They let me cut out of my last shift early so I came home for supper. I had a GREAT time. I loved working the front gate, even though they scheduled me for more than I requested. I saw lots of inspiring ideas for new and different garb and had many passes made at me by lots of different guys... which I handled sort of gracefully. I look forward to seeing you all another time this coming fall at MNRF but I do not know what weekend it will be yet (NOT Labor day weekend).
Finally home and unpacked! Wow, what a weekend...filled 4 memory cards. ;D
Twig just keeps getting better and better every year. Had a great time camping and wandering faire with everyone. Couldn't have asked for more perfect faire weather either. Got to don some new garb of my own too. Thanks again Goody for doing everything you do!
Wow took a while but got it all unpacked was a great weekend, Thanks Goody for turning me on to Twig it was a blast. Had a great time with all at the tent city and the taste testing, See you all at fest.
Thanks once again for hosting Goody!
Sorry we didn't say good-bye before heading out last night. We headed back to camp thinking we'd get a nap in before the evening festivities and ended up deciding we'd all sleep so much better in our own beds for the night.
So nice to see everyone again and such a lovely way to start our fest season. Look forward to seeing everyone again at WIRF!!!
What a great time we had Saturday at Twig. The weather was perfect. Not too hot but sunny with a nice breeeze at times. No rain. It seemed like a great crowd and it was a nice grounds.
Met and remet a few of you fine RF people and shared some scotch. Thanks whoever gave me the shot. Brought a couple bottles of Winehaven mead. They did have Jaybird mead and lake Superior Brewing Company beer
We stayed at my inlaws up by Chisholm. It rained quited a bit Saturday evening when we got back there. Hope it didn't hit the Faire as hard.
Would have liked to have stopped in again as we drove by on the way back to the Cities Sunday but needed to get back.
Took some pictures will try to post a few. The wife and I wore our new Catskill moccasins. Felt nice breaking them in. Forgot my Breeches but luckily my pajama bottoms worked just fine.
Will return next year for sure.
I totally forgot to thank Goody for getting me the working gig. Front gate was too much fun! I got to vent some goofy energy and interact more with lots of the staff and volunteers. I"m tellin' y'all now... if you wanna come and check out KCRF... call me and we'll find a weekend in October to do it... shoot for mid October towards the end though... KC can be VERY hot in September. We lucked out at Twig this year with the gorgeous weather.
I may not be down in the Twin Cities now until next Monday... parents want to make plans for this weekend. I'll have to see what the week brings.
Thanks you to all I had the pleasure of visiting with!
The whole family are now "droopies"!
We had a fantastic time watching the Dregs,Caterina( WOW, what a fantastic voice! and a very nice Lady!),wolgemut..
Will try to put up pics of the weekend later!
Oh, and thanks to Goody, for the invite! I think after this year, I may be able to get the family to attend some R/F gatherings!
Wow! What a great little fair. My thanks to Rune and Sorcha fer driving. Had a great time hanging out with everyone. Looking forward to WIRF.

Nice to meet you as well! .. and your welcome ;D
did anyone ever find the news footage that the camera crew shot during the dreg-along?
I looked a little but couldn't find it.
It was for the 10 o clock news on the local news station (channel 6). I watched it. There was no sound when they showed the Dregs and it was a short clip. They had a clip of me too, and I had no idea they were even taping.
http://www.northlandsnewscenter.com/news/local/19968684.html
I think this is it....
Yup, that was it, although they had a few more clips in the beginning of the news cast that weren't part of that video.
Lord William what can I say....you look absolutely fabulous!
Love the hat btw.
Damn them! THey cut the rest of us out of that picture on the news! Sure, let the Fop and Knockers have all the attention...:P
Hey....that could be a new stage show for Sleepy and MG.... the Fop and Knockers Show! ;D
Not to whine or anything but where the (insert fav curse word) hell (see, I don't think I offended any of the religious right) are my pics of Twig?
Always PC, (yup!)
The Baron.
(edit add)
I thought the fop was a good thing. An advancement beyond anything we've every seen here!
Yes.
Mister four memory cards full. Please to insert "you" or "someone". Your choice.
god I could so do a ninja thing for this faire.
Here ya go Baron, as requested...twig pictures!

oh hell I'm going right to the vent thing.
ya so there!
Haha DB thats classic...
"I don't care who you are thats funny!" or sumthin like that.
Hey, I saw MG's big knockers!!! :o
They should have showed all of the Dregs!
The news report was awful! Nothing about it made people say "Gee, that Twig thing looks like fun, we should do that next year." Lots of peoples backs and random shots that had nothing to do with the commentary.
I did laugh outloud about DB's new show idea. ::)
couple of good shots...

Bump...
So DB... where are YOUR pictures? Still waiting...
:)
Sorry, I had a mishap with a file renaming program that was supposed to save me editing time...instead it malfuctioned and now I have to rename all 1000+ pictures manually before I can edit and upload them.... :P
Ugh! I'm sorry I nagged! Carry on with your task. I'll wait. :-[

I've been getting antsy too. At least we know it'll be well worth the wait!
Looking forward to seeing your awesome pics DB!
MG I love that shot of Josh and I. We don't have too many pics of the two of us and that one is so sweet. :D
Well, I finally got them sorted and edited, for the most part. Some of them I didn't even touch; you're just going to get the raw image *gasp!* :P
Hopefully they'll all be loaded up to my MySpace by mid morning; now to start/finish the WIRF pics. ::)
*raising hand*
Uhm... I don't have MySpace. How do I get to see your pictures?
It's pretty simple, and you've got us to help you, if you need.
Heck, if I can figure it out, anyone can!
We're such enablers, aren't we? ;D
Okay, pictures are finally uploaded! Nearly 800 images. Only took about 8 hours to upload them....and the best part? It rearranged the order they're in, so no chronological viewing thanks to MySpace.

I don't either MG. I had one for about a week. Then I decided my life is too boring to merit the exsistance of one, so I deleted it.
Is there a link we can click on, DB? If so, will you renmail it?
that was worth the wait.
*DOH*
Almost forgot to post the link to the album....
http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewPicture&friendID=35521326&albumId=2831171
Bummer. Oh well.
I don't have MySpace, nor do I want one. Like Kate, I had tried it some time ago and just found that it wasn't for me.
I didnt have a myspace for a long time but got one cuz "everybody" here and at my class reunion had one. Ive really enjoyed it thus far (and my life isnt exciting, either)!
Ya, but mine is REALLY boring, Goody.
Oh well. I guess I will see them another time, if I can convince the boy to let me use his account for a few minutes.
Heres a link to the *finally uploaded* Twig pics!
