Brig

Somehow myself and my traveling companions all managed to leave home without cameras. Here are a few shots I took with my Blackberry, though.

Mae, Nelly and I made it home safe last night. Thank you to everyone both present and absent who made it such a wonderful two days.

I can understand the writer's reluctance to quote himself (not really), but I felt there were a few Mission nuggets from the night of the auction that should be preserved for posterity.

During the unfortunate nature trail walk, a root stretched across our path in the near-darkness. This led our mildly intoxicated ship's surgeon to declare "That's a snake! It's big enough to eat Mae. This place is full of Mae-snakes."

I was also stopped mid-stride by the observation that I myself am like a nun, because I have "wheels under there". I'm fairly certain I lost sleep over that. The next day the meaning was pieced together from the mind of the surgeon himself...something about Catholic school and gliding nuns. I don't remember the rest, as that man who's name I can't remember was being exceptionally entertaining at the moment.

Our unintentional tour of the island while on the way to the airport was repeatedly declared "an adventure!". I simply could not argue with that one.

It was all rather exciting.

You had me at "exploded skull".

Got mine! You folks are good!

Happy birthday to you, Cutter!

It was nice seeing you and the lady at St. Augustine, Mooseworth...you both looked great!

Very glad to do what I can. :)

Easily done! Should I look for the Kingston Charwood? I haven't seen it here before, but I could check the hardware stores and such.

Mae, myself, and our friend Alexandra will be arriving in the small hours Saturday morning. Unfortunately due to babysitting arrangements, we'll have to head home Sunday night, but we'll sure make the most of our two days! I don't plan to sleep much...no promises for Mae...I'm gonna need a volunteer to keep her awake :angry:. Jack will be flying in Saturday night, coming straight from work. He's planning to stay until Monday.

Count Mae, myself, and our friend Alexandra in for Saturday and Sunday, and Jack for Sunday. I'm not much of a camp cook, but I'm driving down from Orlando and can bring a cooler. Should I bring more food for the breakfasts/dinners, or just use the space for more charcoal?

I can bring a bag or two of charcoal...I should be arriving either late Thursday or early Friday. :)

Mae and I can take Gate Duty 0500-0700 Friday (which I think is technically Saturday morning?).

Thanks, Pew :)

Ack...if mine don't show today I'm gonna start worrying...

Mailed mine today. :)

Putting the finishing touches on mine (nothing like last minute!) and wanted to be sure of the participants. Is this still a correct accounting?

Happiest birthday, m'dear!

Happy birthday, Dorian.

Haha, the cat doesn't look one bit sorry either!

Contest is over, Mission. I've found your new credit card image.

I'm volunteering myself and Mae for General Grounds/Cleaning Detail: 0830 on Saturday. :)

Thank you, ladies.

My Etsy shop is finally up and running! There are six sets of ready-made falls available on the site. I also gladly take custom orders, and ship free anywhere in the US. :) Link to Shop.

Here are a few examples of my work:

Steampunk

Belly Dance

Pirate

You both look fantastic, O. I love those boots!

This one was taken at the lighthouse at Islands of Adventure when we were out for TLAPD...that whole entryway is full of great steamy backdrops. I was happy that we were able to get the clouds in this one!
