Countdown to opening 2011

[Rani Zemirah]

Gaaaahhhh!!!  I WISH we could get down there this weekend!!!  I actually bought discount tickets today (because the deal was just too good to pass up... )... without any CLUE as to how I will pay for gas, and fully prepared to spend two nights sleeping in the van... but I'm still working on it! 

I know you'll all have an awesome time...

This is going to be a great weekend I am sad Jacob will not be able to make it out with us this weekend he has to work but we already have the passes so why not lol
I just finished a shirt for Dorian not really a good one but it won't be to hot

[Merlin the Elder]

I'm hoping I can get my traveling companions to do the pre-cannon tailgate. I am bringing some refreshments again, including some non-alcoholic in case you get thirsty, Lady Stitch!

[Tink]

Did anyone happen to get two extra discount tickets, by any chance?

[Bonny Pearl]

I have so much to do to get ready.... why I am sitting on my behind, goofing off!! 

[Merlin the Elder]

Okay... I've got my chores done, other than carrying the stuff down to the van. Nimue's getting the rest of the stuff organized and packed.

In 12 hours, we'll extract Homer, the Odyssey, from his protective shell, drop by and pick up Ladies Victoria and Elaine, make a stop at the local International House of Prayer Pancakes, then head to the Lone Star State for a weekend in the shire of Scarborough.

If predictions of high temperatures hold true, I may dress less than regally wizardy, but such is life in the big shire.

By the time we get into our quarters tomorrow, many of you will be en route yourselves. Travel safely so that we can enjoy your company this weekend.

Merlin be safe on your trip south. We look forward to seeing you Sat.

[Merlin the Elder]

Many thanks, Your Grace. Drop by Homer, the Odyssey, for some libation pre-cannon!

Tried on what I'm gonna wear, even ran downstairs and showed both of my roommates to see what they thought (yep, I'm a dork but dress up is a necessary pre-faire ritual!) Color wise, its lookin' like red won, with the red lipstick to go with.   

We're so close! We're almost to the 24 hour mark...

I am so excited to see everyone at morning tailgate!!

OMG! IT"S ALMOST HERE!!!! Elo - I wore half of my garb to work today to show my students (sans bodice and all the bits that go on my belt). I remembered last night of a belt pouch I wanted to make, so now I'm frantically trying to finish that - brought with me to work on during lunch and conference So much to pack!! Backpack of mundanes, toiletries, garb and accessories, my basket, and a tub to fit it all in....

I can't wait!!! 26 hours, 18 mins!!

[LadyStitch]

I don't know if it was faire excitement or what, but I woke up this morning at 5:30 AM when I normally don't fall out of bed until an hour later. I actually got up and added more trim to my dress, repaired my bloomers, AND got 90% done on my new purse to match my dress.  All that is left on that is getting a new basket, a new bow for my hat, AND hemming the dress.

The PP decided 2 days ago he wanted the feathers removed from his coat and new trim added. Ideally I know he wants it for tomorrow, but we shall see.
The tub has  been pulled out from the closet, and everything is being readied for the launch pad.  The PP is making plans to make sure we are there by 8:30 AM tomorrow so we can be at the tailgate. 

Tomorrow...,. Tomorrow.... Heee ::bounce bounce::
