Oh. My. Gawd. :o
Methinks I shall be making a return trip to BARF. ;D
There are quite a few people hoping to make BARF at some point next season. Glad the McCracks will be amongst them and looking forward to meeting you Lairde.
No chapter, sez he..... ::)
Yea! More visitors!! Looking forward to meeting the M'Cracks.
Huzzah! That shall be a great weekend! :)
Good to see this list growing
Lairde that's ANNA not AMMA ;)
Though I guess I Amma A. Iram ;D
Bad fingers, tsk tsk tsk......
You have been fingered properly now....
I can not believe I just typed that...
I can! :D :P ;D
Your reputation precedes our meeting Lairde. I'd not have expected anything less. ;)
Am I mean to wish I could be at BARF that weekend during the M'Crack Invasion instead of in England, visiting my husband's relatives (all of whom I really, really love, but it's BARF!!)?
Well my good friend, would you be so kind as to add my name to your list!?!?!
I shall be there, as well as other half
Just got word that Gimli and Cara may be joining us on this one........
I am also working on a place for all the out of towners to stay so that we will not need hotel rooms. This will make the cost cheaper and be a bit more relaxing. I just need to know how many are interested so that I can get the costs down. I was thinking of having the place from like Wednesday or Thursday (for those arriving early) til the following Tuesday, for those that want to stay late but that depends on what we can find.
Right now besides myself, I have
Peddlin
Bee'n
Sand'n (Athena)
Deep'n (Gimli)
Whisper'n (Quiet One)
Yankin
Add me to the "out of towners who need a place to stay list", if you think everyone can put up with my loud and rowdy behaviour.
Leinad and I will be there
Okay been on a scouting mission for location of gathering on Friday night and places throughout the weekend. I have some very good ideas. (Helps to also be The Red Horse of Inebriation) I need to get a general idea of where the out-of-towners will be staying.
Will also post on the M'Crack Forum and Fairemily!
Sir Red Horsemen,
Though not a part of previous years, t'wood be a fine honor ifin ye would count this old sea dog in with you festivities...
Ummmm lemme think.......ponders.................ponders........................smoke rolls out of ears.....................ponders..............AH I GOT IT!
Dem Tooting Straight You Are Part-O-Festivities!

Also since the condo would not work out for the time frame we needed it, they wanted us to check in on Saturday. We decided to get a hotel room. I believe we are at the Motel 6 on Fowler. I know the area is a bit rough, but we are only there for two nites, then we are off to Orlando to spend two days with Mickey and then up to Savannah for a couple days to relax, before we head home. Anyone else interested in stopping by to see the big mouse?

Please count me in as well...Apparently I am a PET.
I am not sure how I feel about that, truth be told. Ive held many a post afore the mast, but PET? Really?
Well, I tried and tried to make it work. But sadly, it is just not going to. My trip to England really cleaned me out, so I'll just have to wait for the GARF invasion. :)
Hope everyone has a great time!!
I got a flyer from the Days Inn on Fletcher..... they are offering huge discounts if you tell them you are there for the faire.... they even gave like weekly rates of 250 per week..... it not in a bad area, not far from faire.
Mickey, me lad, that be short fer 'petitioner'.
Kinda gave me the willies, too, at first...... :D

*snerk* there's no way to adequately tell that story in writing, Mickey. Catch LJ and I at faire on St Patty's and we'll re-enact parts of it.
Hey Esc -
Now inquiring minds really want to know!
It's, say, 'X-Files' meets 'The Girls Next Door'.................. ;D

Well now if you were my pet I could accomodate that request for you! ;D ;D ::)
It's only a little over a week away, are there any plans for a Friday nite meet & greet? or Saturday gathering after faire?
My hotel's near the faire, but I will need to mapquest directions to any where else before I fly down for the weekend.
I think LJ has planned something for Friday night, but I guess we all need details.
Okay gang, this is where I think it is best for having dinner Friday night. The main reason is Count's son Connor and Lady Panther's little Pheony will be allowed in with us until the hour turns 10PM. Any other place was not conducive to wee-little ones.
Mr. Dunderbaks (http://www.dunderbaks.com/) Seamus, myself and Treeman all ate at the old place one afternoon and enjoyed it. They do serve Guinness, we made sure of that. I am also gonna have to make a trip on Monday to re-verify how they serve Guinness. We were told in a can but they had some ritual they do to it that makes it more like a draft. I wanna see this anyway so I will force myself to check it out and maybe have a few to make sure it is suitable for consumption.
Drive time from the hotel to Mr. Dunderbaks say 15 - 20 minutes tops. We need to have a "Close enough for Government Work" head count by 6PM that night. They do not take reservations but will allow "Call Ahead Seating"! They said give them 2 hours time. Figured an 8PM arrival at chow would give the out-of-towners time to freshen up.
Seamus and I are also working on a Gathering at Rogue Manor on Saturday evening after fair. IF you have any type of food you cannot eat, PLEASE let us know right away. We plan on shopping this weekend. We will talk about chow tonight and post our thoughts in the AM.
I actually applaud your foresite and planning for a great place to eat, a few drinks and included the Lepus Runamuckus as well.
So right now there are 3 of us in my car that plan to be there. Although we may pick up a few strays at the hotel.
Won't be able to join you on Friday, but will see ye all Sat. morning....
Count me in for Friday. From their website, it looks to be "just down the road" from my hotel. No lepus runamuckus with me this year, just me.
"I am also gonna have to make a trip on Monday to re-verify how they serve Guinness. We were told in a can but they had some ritual they do to it that makes it more like a draft.

Dearest LJ -
You are so good to us, and we really appreciate your sacrifice!
Can't wait to see you! :-*

I am prepared to make sure everyone has good Guinness! Will do whatever is necessary!
See you soon!
Isn't this the same place that use to be in University Mall? If it is my mother loved that place, I bet she'd love to go. Let me see if I can swing it as I don't think I've ever made it to one of the forums before or after get togethers. :)

Yes, it is the same place. It has a bigger and better location though!
Saturday AM in the parking lot will consist of Mint Juleps and something from a bakery not sure as to what that will be.
Dinner on Saturday evening at Rogue Manner is planned as such:
Pork Loin or another form of pork product (Seamus makes a heck of a marinade for it) - Cooked on a LaCajaChina
Potatoes and proly green beans
We ask that you maybe bring a dessert, bottle of wine etc.
Sunday is still up in the air as far as the AM start in the parking lot!
Psst! Athena? Athena?
Time to wake up....MINT JULEPS!
Athena and I will contribute.....something. :)
Absolutely Maaahvalous! Or in other words, "Isn't that nice!"

There's a story here....like the mimosa incident, I'm sure of it. :D
3 days until it all begins!
Please note on the website, Mr. Dunderbaks has a new address. It is no longer in the mall as it looks like it is on the website.
14929 Bruce B. Downs Blvd. ~ The link on the website takes you to Google Maps so please check it.
Hummm...no ones posted a time for Friday night to meet up at Mr. Dunderbaks. So, what time is everyone getting together?
Mom and I would love to go and meet up with everyone. I need to tell her a time though as she'll be coming from work and she works down off of Gandy Blvd.
between 7 and 8 everyone should be arriving....

Hey Einstein, all you had to do was look and read the "Who's Who and Coming List" Just so you know we penciled you in on the list also! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Riiiiiight. Nothing is ever subject to change around here....... :P
I had a fantastic time this weekend and made some more new friends. Thank you Florida M'Cracks. I am already looking forward to next year.
It was great meeting you Quiet One!

I will have you note that it took about 5 minutes from the time I got the PET pin to having to wear the "in the doghouse" badge. I fear that I may be getting "type cast" here...

That mug isn't mine, it belongs to Mark, a BARF regular! Maybe you'll see it around sometime this season. :)
It was nice to see you too, and Lady D. I wish I could stay for one more week!
