j8ksdad Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Where will the classes be held? I'll eat when I'm hungry. I'll drink when I'm dry. If the hard times don't kill me I'll lay down and die. Rye whiskey! Rye whiskey! Rye whiskey I cry. If you don't give me rye whiskey, I surely will die.

River Road turns left after the River. Turn left – we are the first drive way on the left. From the 15 Freeway exit 2nd Street in Norco, go west approximately 1.5 miles to River Road. Turn Right on River Road. Go 1.5 miles after you cross the Santa Ana River. River Road turns left after the River. Turn left – we are the first drive way on the left. From the 60 Freeway exit Archibald. Go South 7.5 miles to River Road. Turn Right on River. We are the first drive way on the left. Why am I sharing my opinion? Because I am a special snowflake who has an opinion of such import that it must be shared and because people really care what I think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graydog Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 No problem. I'd add if you are coming very few people attend in costume, though you are very welcome to do so. So, that's your call, just wouldn't want anybody to be surprised. Why am I sharing my opinion?

The nearest tavern! Learn what taverns were like, what/who you would have found in one, and what activities went on at one. Might this be a rated 'G' tavern or a rated 'Ahrrrr' tavern? Hey, is this the same place as it was last Spring? I am looking at the satellite view and it looks like they have cut down all them trees along th' main road - the ones that caught fire last year? And Jamaica Rose, next time they take a satellite shot; look Up and Smile will ye! ~All skill be in vain if an angel pisses down th' barrel o' yer flintlock!
