East Coast ALFAcon aka ECAC - First Weekend in October, MD

[Riotnrrd]

Western nc like ...asheville would be awesome.

I love the outdoors and pig smoking idea

May 25 is next baby due date... I'm locked until summer

for anynoob who does not know, Cville is where both Loulabelle and Acadiuslost have apartments. Between the two of them there is plenty of space for us to impose ourselves on them and snore and fart up their apartments. It is still in the same region, and would save everyone money. (I call the sofa, all sofas)
would be a fun intro to some folks I havnt met and reconnecting with older ones I have. There will be plenty to do, and we can plan and set up for Heero's hillbilly idea (where I am certain there will be plenty of banjo playing and squealing)

There is also a Ren Faire that run the entire month of Sept and Oct (weekends only) in the near proximity of both Baltimore and Wash DC.

What is even better than an ALFA Con?

An ALFA Con with a REN FAIRE!

I speak from experience. Lafter, Evro and I dressed up as pirates and stumbled around in NC, eating smoked turkey legs and drinking beer from leather cups.

IT WAS AWESOME.

Can we do this?

[loulabelle]

I'd do that for sure. When/where? I went to a big one up in PA last summer. Stout, Steak on a stake and Scotch eggs. I got asked if I worked there. Good fun.

It's that fake British accent you have, Lou.

The MD Ren Faire is in Crownsville, Maryland very nearby to Annapolis, MD, which is a wonderful waterfront town. It runs every weekend thru September and October with each weekend being a different theme.

This is a very big event with a ton of good food and inexpensive (relatively) beer. There is a large, mini-town built for it who's only purpose is to serve in hosting this event.

I hear rumours of SSM?

PM for addresses and phone numbers and let's get this rolling WOOOO

Things we can do around here:

Pose with a lifesize statue of Thomas Jefferson
Drive the Brew Ridge Trail
Too many wineries to count
Games of the dice and the cards variety (sometimes both OMG)

My head is fuzzy with microscopy... I'll add to this list!

[Riotnrrd]

All of you suck. Hopefully I'll be celebrating the birth of my son.

Have fun without me!

[AcadiusLost]

As I understand it; this is being deferred due to some scheduling conflicts; will likely try some time further into the summer, or early fall at the latest.

Maybe we can rope in more participants at that point as well...

[Heero]

Suggest MD Ren Faire. Last weekend of Sept. or first weekend of Oct. Is close to Annapolis.

Pls advise.

Over and out.

[Heero]

There is a KOA campground maybe 15-20 minutes away:

I like Renfaires. I will wear a codpiece.

[Adanu]

I might head to this, it'll depend on a few things coming up.

Y'all on the wrong continent.
