Title: In search of some new renfriends in minnesota
Post by: Arland on January 25, 2009, 04:48:01 PM
ello' mi'ladies n gents. How fair ye? I'm from michigan, but am planning to move to Minnesota as soon as I get some stuff paid off and save up enough money. I would like to get to know any and all rennies in the area so that when I do move there, I already have renfriends in the area and a place to hang out with warm inviting people. If you want to learn more about me, myspace is www.myspace.com/xxxentermymatrixxxx . If you have any questions I'm an open person and will answer anything. Thanks :)

Though my wife and I just moved out of Mn to AZ, I'm sure you'll find the MN crew here the most welcoming bunch of people out there. Keep and eye out for the monthly Pub nights, where they gather every now and then. You'd be most welcome to join in when you find yourself in MN. Have fun and enjoy.

Good morning, Arland,

We hope you enjoy your stay in MN.  While traveling we must request that you keep your hands and arms inside the vehicle at all times.  Please obey the posted "no smoking" signs and safety placards.

While in MN we insist you enjoy yourself, consume much mead, and bust into sponatneous moments of dancing and pretend campfire settings.

As you may know, our Fest is 2 weekends in August, Sept & 1 weekend in Oct.

Welcome.  Stop by my mead booth when you are in town.  Most of the R/F folks hang out there and have their shops within eyesight.

A warm welcome to you Arland...both to the forums and when you move to MN.  I have been part of this Ren community for a little over a year now and have never found a more fun and friendly crowd to get to know!  We look forward to meeting you!  If you make a jaunt over here before your move, post something and mayhap we can set up a pub night to get to know ya!

You will have to swing by the pub (Foaming Stein) once fest starts.  That is an easy way to meet any number of us at any given time.  Foaming is run myself and Muffin so there will always be at least 1 R/fer there at any moment.

Born and raised! Been going to MN for 15 years. My uncle us to run Children's Trilogy before Lady Ann passed so spent a lot of time helping out. I went to Twig for the first time last season and had a blast!

I've did craft fairs over the winter and now truly appreciate how great the ren community is. When we set up at Iowa ren there was a lot of wind...someone yelled for help with their tent and like 10 of us came running...craft fairs? I just about got run over by a car going into the armory as they drove over my carpet I was trying to pull up.

Long Live Rennies! I love you all!!!

Been a while since ive posted anything, ive been busy trying to rake in some money. this economy is rediculous. I'm thinkin i might not be able to make it out there this ren season =[ ah well, better late than never i suppose. looking forward to meeting all of you when i do get a chance to escape this trap we call michigan!
