Capt. Bo of the WTF co. Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Oi! That blasted acid reflux shite is it? I drowned mine in rum and so far it hasn't been back. It killed the beer but it couldn't withstand being pummeled by rum. (I own stock in TUMS too. ) Bo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeky Actress Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 Hi Everyone, To those who know me, I've been working on the ReenactorFest (RF) Committee since 2005 and part of my job is to get the word out about the event(s) and make sure you all have a great time. The Committee realized after last month's successful event that we may be in need for a new hotel (bigger vending rooms, more dancing space, and better over all service)! With that being said, if you could please take a few moments and do this survey, the RF crew would be most grateful. Thank you for your time! http://www.opinionpower.com/Surveys/418052752.html Member of "The Forsaken" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt. Bo of the WTF co. Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I have never been able to attend, so I don't know. How about a location closer to ME? Bo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyBarbossa Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Yo'r right, Mary. One simple question. Easy enough. Hmm... possible locales in the Chicagoland. Well, toughy really. The Sheridon has been a great place for the fest, but the Fest has grown too big for the Sheridon. Unless the Sheridon plans to expand in less than a year to three times the size. ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed."

Cap'n Pete Straw Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 And of course you missed the debacle of the non-functioning elevators. The hotel was packed to capacity (or it seemed as such) and one of the elevators was out of commission for the entire weekend -- this created HUGE crowds in the lobby at times waiting to get upstairs. Otherwise -- you want my opinion? A hotel is a hotel. Sure, it could be held somewhere else, but it's all going to be about the same. And, of course, it sure is nice to know where everything is "from last year." "He's a Pirate dancer, He dances for money, Any old dollar will do... "He's a pirate dancer, His dances are funny...

Well Cap'n Pete, the all the elevators were working on Thursday night when I got to the hotel. I think it crashed some time on Friday afternoon around 2 pm or so. Of course, like anything else, there was no one available to fix it until Monday. I do remember the same thing happening last year...but I don't think it was down for the entire weekend. Just goes to show...we need a new place! Member of "The Forsaken" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyBarbossa Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Ahhhh!!! The Time Warp! Oh, I can still remember doing that last year. Oh, what a hoot! Aye, I'd like to see those vids, too.

Cheeky Actress Posted March 10, 2008 Author Share Posted March 10, 2008 (edited) Lords & Ladies - Reenactor Fest is no longer the 'cute little get-together' that it started out as. As we have all seen first hand, it has grown into a real convention -- and it's help from you guys that is making that a reality! RF5 is February 6-8, 2009 And because of our growth, our new facility will be the Westin Chicago North Shore in February 2009! Take a look: Westin Chicago NorthShore, IL It is a brand new facility, only 10 minutes from the Sheraton, and 4 star in every way. The vendors will now all be housed in ONE GIANT ballroom, and the ballroom for the nightly parties is 1,000 sq. ft. IT IS BIGGER than what we used to have. There are THREE restaurants on the premises, ranging from affordable Italian to gourmet Steak and Seafood.. and a sushi bar thrown in just because! The nightly room charge will be $5.00 more than the Sheraton was going to charge us, yet, I assure you NO ONE will be disappointed in their accommodations. Things just got 1000% more exciting, and I hope you are all on-board for Reenactor Fest 5! Doors Open for ReenactorFest 5: Friday - 3:00pm - 7:00pm Saturday - 9:00am - 6:00pm Sunday - 9:00am - 2:00 pm Edited January 5, 2009 by Cheeky Actress Member of "The Forsaken" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Bess Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 A sushi bar? OK, now I have to make it to RF 5! Cheeky, I will put the dates on the calendar as soon as you have them. It was very disappointing not to be able to go this year, so I will make every effort for next year.

Capt. Sterling Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 The rooms certainly do not look as nice, but then again, I never had one of the problem rooms like a few did last year... but since no one is hardly ever in the rooms and space is needed elsewhere... At least it does have more restaurants to pick from which should make life easier for many... damn no Starbucks.. and nothing for the kids..??

Cheeky Actress Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share Posted March 11, 2008 The Guest Rooms have the new 'metro-modern' appeal to them. This reflects the recent influx of High-End European designs that has taken off here in the States for about the last 5-7 years. So, the heavy, dark elegant feel of the 90s is out -Retro mod/tech is in. Not knowing for sure, for I haven't stayed at this Westin before, the only place that looks kid friendly would be the RT Lounge or the Osteria di Tramonto. I can look further into this.

Capt. Sterling Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Well just keep it up-to-date and working and that would be an added bonus as well. Changing the look means little without that ...

Having missed RF4 and PyrateCon due to life events... I don't plan on missing out on Port Wash. Need an event BAD! And RF5 having the promise of more vendors... aye, major drooling! I'll be starting to save m' coinage so as t' buy, buy, buy!!!! Cheeky... do they know when we can start reserving a room? Will there be a discounted rate for RF5? And I LOVE RF5 admission price FAR better than PyrateCon. Keep the admission price down! ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed."
