Grand! We can go back and listen to Mr. Beasley promote alcoholism all over again... :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Ya! Nothing like a bunch of drunk reenactors falling about the lobby of a grand, upscale hotel...then having the cops crash the party. All in all...a grand time!

Yes, I do plan to bring a few bottles of the Pyrate's Rum (thank-you Master Brown)! Also, I just found a case store here in town that has traditional Absinthe. Still looking for the white shade...not the green fairy stuff. Oh, we have Pimms too...

i thought the "white shade" was the watered down stuff...add water turns white(cloudy)...popular in yugoslavia...or turkey...or.....damn green faiery...done took me memory.....(swats the air above me head) :lol:

Good question there Maddogge. I had the pleasure of trying the 'white stuff' about a year ago. The host of the party informed me that it was French, but less bitter and more pleasing to the pallet. I had to agree with her on that. I found by my second glass I was feeling...Nut'n!. Yes, she did say that the white was much more popular in the 'iron curtain' countries...but still French.

Welp, ladies an' gents... looks like I shan't be attendin' RF5. :P :::sniffles:::

Someone break th' news t' Mr Bellows gently, please. An' if he cries... DO put it on tape so I can see it. Please?

Have a drink fo' me. Enjoy th' sushi. I shall look forward to th' piccies followin' the event.

My apologies to all of ye. I was SOOO lookin' forward to this event.

Oh, an' someone give Mr Kazwick a kiss on th' cheek or at least a dance with th' gentleman for me? I wonder if he'll be wearin' Washington's uniform?

:blink: :::hugs:::

It would have been fun to be a part of Bilgemunky's background. I was really looking forward to seeing some NWTA comrades I'd not seen in nigh 2 years. :blink: :::le sigh::: the one passion that got me started in reenacting and I can't attend it either. I'm not gonna say "maybe next year"... cause I'm at a breaking point, either my life gets better so I can have my time away at these reenactments that have been my vacations and rejuvenation of my spirit... or I have to totally give up the hobby. It's no more 'putting off for a year"... I've done that for two years in a row already.

Hugs to all. MIssin' ye all already. :blink:

Not to worry Lady B. I've been put in charge of 'Photos' again for the event. I'll be behine the lense snapping away at everyone having a grand time of it....

I'll try to post these over on my photo account as soon as possible.

Now...I just have to remember my battery charger, rechargable batteries and a big enough bag/purse/muff to carry all this stuff in.

Money sucks does it not? or at least the insufficient sums of it ...
