ehr... I am... and I'm online... And a couple of others are, too...
and I'm a Quester... and it's an elf gathering... doesn't that make it
on topic.

Why can't people grasp the concept? The image on the site is a picture
that shows the thing, that they use to show where in the spirit realm
they are.

To be hornest, I know nothing of this place, but as far as I'm
concerned (as I can't be there) it is a beautiful place, and chosen
because of that.

I sure hope that was a joke... If it was: :)

You just don't get it, now, do you? We don't just talk about "a bunch
of fat middleclass American computer programmers" here, as you so gently
put it. (no intentions to sound grumpy here, cause it's meant to be read
with a giving-up kind of tone.)
Just my $0.02 to this li'l thing...

in the reply-to box, which you ignored.
That makes it spam, by the way.

"Where in the spirit realm?" I doubt that the organizers of this fest
would be able to find the spirit realm even if they were dead.

It's just you dear.
It's well known in Scots faerie tradition that the faerie are only in
this world one in alternate centuries, so you won't see 'em for at least
another eighteen months. Any sightings before then can be definitively
attributed to bad acid or paranoid schizophrenia.

Yes, people who can spell.

Have you actually read any fairy stories, or just one Llewellyn book too
many?

Of course you don't. You humour them, & call them elves, because
otherwise they wouldn't come to your events.
>-Greetings from worlds afar
Well I always knew that America was a strange place but I've never heard
it called another world before...

Your *holt*?
Look, I know ElfQuest is a great comic. But it really is just a comic.
There isn't really a tribe of Wolfriders led by Cutter.
Even on the astral plane :)
