Estrella XXVI

[Heinrich]

Greetings all-

It's been a few months since we've discussed Estrella attendance. I
know my mundane life has had me by the balls lately, so I haven't
really been too sure about what I was going to do. I am not pre-
registered, and Jan2 was the deadline for having our pre-reg info
count toward space in a barony. In any case, after last year's
experience with Twin Moons, I'm more keen on trying out overflow. Did
anyone pre-reg?

I'm not going to make it out 'til Friday evening, so who is going to
claim our camping spot? Also, as some of you already know, I don't
have my truck any more. So I will not be able to bring firepits or my
bad-ass dragon tent :'( Ryan, Dawn... didn't one of you have a
firepit?

I do still have the household toasting chalice, and the Saturday night
festivities are still a go as far as I know!!

I have actually been meaning to email everyone for weeks now about this. Sir Avram has offered to let us camp next to him in the Outlands, and even cook us dinner! (his meals are the best of the best) I am under the impression that only Clint, Mac, Dave, maybe Julie, maybe Ron, Heinrich, Ryan and I are all that will be attending. Is that correct?

Is anyone planning to get there before Friday? I was actually thinking of going up Friday morning.

Ryan does have a fire pit.

Is anyone interested in taking up Sir Avram's kind offer? I just need to let him know how many tents, and how many for dinner.....

I wish I could be there.

[Brian Pickart]

If I were going I'd say go for Sir Avram's offer.

[Dave Larsen]

Absolutely, take him up on the offer. That sounds great.

I was planning to go up on Thursday. Anybody else going up Thursday,
or will I be the first one there?

Dave

[Clinton Baker]

I've not pre-registered yet, but I am planning on going.  I probably won't be out until sometime Friday.

clint

[Heinrich vom Schwarzwald]

Yeah, Dawn!  I just looked at the site map and Outlands is way closer to merchant's row and the showers!

SO wish I could go.

@ Gabe - Dude you're so close just go!  Go for a night!

 

-Benedikt

[Simon]

I agree with Gabe, so wish I could go! If things improve I may be able to hang Saturday night, but I wouldent count on it. I do also have the lunar lander fire pit, but no way to get it to anyone. At this point I am willing to donate it to the household, just come and get it! ;)

[Dave Larsen]

Well, if nobody else is going up Thursday, then I'll go up Friday
morning too. Spending Thursday night at Estrella alone does not sound
much like fun. Besides, I do not know Sir Avram. In fact, I do not
even know what he looks like.

Dawn, do you want to caravan up in the morning?

- Dave

[Julie]

I checked about Pre-Reg today, 'cause I thought it was closed. It is
still open online through 1/17/10. It is $70 for those arriving
Friday if done online, $75 if paying at Troll. I think I'll be coming
up on Saturday. I remember complaining when the admission went up to
$30! Times have changed.

Sorry, that should have read "And I remember it being $0 for some people who would sneak in in the back of the truck! ;)"

[Brian Pickart]

I can still be $0 in that sense.

[Dave Larsen]

Of course back then we had one piece of loaner garb, a 15 dollar pup
tent, and drank Keystone Light.

[Simon Kregar]

Mmmmm keystone.........

[Brian Pickart]

I never drank that.

Dawn-
 
Are we still a go for camping next to Sir Avram?  Do you have a good head-count now, and is he ok with it?  I never heard back about the suggestion of him skipping making us dinner and just bring over a dish for feast night (heck, his whole camp can join us for that matter!)
 
I'm looking forward to NOT camping with Twin Moons this year!

I've been in talks with him/the outlands, we are just waiting for clearance, which we should get.  in the last 2 weeks or so he got an invite to camp with the period/royal camp, (which he often camps with, and I've camped with some of them as well.  very nice people, but very very into it) and is sure it should be no problem us camping with them.  just waiting to hear back before I send something out to all.  (one always needs permission to set up a blob of mundane tents in the middle of a period encampment, but these should just be formalities, he foresees no problem.)  My count is 6 tents.  8 people friday, 9 or 10 saturday.

I'll send something out as soon as I know something solid.  should be soon.

[Dave Larsen]

I dropped the land coordinator for Estrella War an email a little over a month ago, about finding camping space at Estrella.  The land coordinator got back to me yesterday.   She said that she can find space for us at Estrella with the kingdom, provided we get everyone pre-reged (the deadline has been extended to tomorrow).  

I know we have been working the Outland's angle.  However, I'm not sure where that is at. Should we even attempt this other angle, or just leave it alone.  I guess I can ask her about overflow. 

- Dave

[Ryan Klems]

I pre-reged last week, I know Dawn didn't ....

-R

[Dawn Hayhurst]

I haven't heard back from my angle, I will attempt to find out. but I can pre-reg today - if everyone is on board with your angle I say go for it. we have 6 tents showing up friday thru sunday.

with 3 different options we are bound to have a spot to put our tents.

I'm not sure we can do that by tomorrow. As a result, I've been
talking to the land coordinator all afternoon, about overflow. She
gave me her cell number, so we can call her when we get on site. I
still think Outlands is our best bet, though, if that works out.

- Dave

[Dave Larsen]

Well, I've got a place for us to camp at war. This is what the land
coordinator wrote to me:

Greetings,

Ok your group is small enough that I can take care of you at war. I
know I will still have some nice spots left after allocation. Keep
track of my cell phone # and call me when you get on site.

So we don't need to preregister?  I may do it anyway, just to make Troll easier, but just want to make sure.

I told her that some of us preregistered and some of us did not, and
likely won't. I think that she's got space for us anyway.

I've got to check with my new boss and see if I can make it up Friday.

[Dave Larsen]

Ron,

If you can go on Friday, some of us are leaving Friday morning, 10ish.
You are welcome to caravan with us.

-Dave

[Dawn Hayhurst]

I heard back from Avram, we are good to go with the Outlands camp as well, so it's just a matter of you guys deciding what you want to do.

[Heinrich vom Schwarzwald]

I am all for camping with Outlands, if everyone else is in accord.  It's good that we have a few options open, too.
 
It's also time to start figuring out who's bringing what for Saturday night Household feast.
 
Firewood sounds pretty easy this year.  If we have 9 campers for 2 nights, $5 each will get us a truck load!  For such a small camp, we may have to scale down the firewood or scale up the in-camp partying!!

[Dave Larsen]

Julie will be up on Saturday (hooray), and can bring food for the
feast. Maybe we can bring a big pasta salad again?

One thing we may need is a table. I have two small ones I can bring,
but I'm not sure they will fit a feast full of food.

- Dave

[Dawn Hayhurst]

I think a truck load for 2 nights is super overkill.  Perhaps scaling that back would be smart.  

Is it just going to be Ryan's fire pit?

=

[Mac McCallum]

Pasta salad sounds yummy.  I"ll try to think of something to bring.

I have a smallish table that I plan on bringing if I can fit it in my smallish car.  I also hope to bring a smallish (10'x10') shade pavilion, again subject to the smallish car.

[Dave Larsen]

Between your smallish table, and my two smallish tables, we may be
covered. Thanks, I think that will work.

[Heinrich vom Schwarzwald]

Would you actually trust any of us in your yard with a chainsaw?   You know me with power tools and wood...  You might end up with a permanently rooted sculpture of the Eifel Tower in your yard!!  ...hmmm....

I too have a smallish table that might be able to come with me.  Not sure on that yet.
 
Ædric, I'm thinking along the same lines here... something that requires little or no on-site cooking.  Not decided on what that might be yet....

Let's see I trusted you guys to lead me through a cave, so yea, a chainsaw in my yard doesn't even make me flinch in the slightest.

You're going to make me a sculpture of the Eiffel Tower with a chain saw!?!?!? I can't wait, it would be absolutelyy perfect!  That's the best idea you've ever had.  When can you start?

I have a lot of table and chairs, a stove, a shade thingy...
