hey guys and gals - just making you all aware that the RX7 folks are heading down to the Renaissance Festival this fall.

www.rennfest.com

the intended date is October 1, for the Oktoberfest celebration. good beer, good mead, and a giant turkey leg are just a couple of the highlights of the weekend.


if interested, feel free to let me know. it would be good to have a get-together outside of the Fuddrucker's parking lot.

 

sounds interesting -- maybe i can get a couple hopkins kids to go and the group tix can be cheaper...

 

hmmm.... what time is everyone going? cuz i have an appointment to go to a 8.30pm..

 

Sounds good. I live in Bowie so not too far from me. So yea i am in...

 

man merc....you're gonna go to every single event that's around you, huh? haha...i'll probably see you at one of them...

 

lol, i am bored man and when there is something going on that i am off for, i will be there... hehe. But yea, i am tired of driving home and seeing a bunch of ricers in the parking lot and dont see one car worth stopping to look at so i need to hang out with some fella 8'ers

 

well it closes at 7:30...or something close to that...so we'd be back in PLENTY of time if your appointment is that late.

 

I think my wife and I can make it. But let me check with her first..................... :-)

 

Well i cant go cuz school started for me and i have class everyday of the week except the weekend. (it sucks i know.. but someone has to do it.)

 

Coke - you do realize this is a Saturday, right?

 

i'm in

 

I'm there - will bring some friends along too... hope to see you there - remember the rules, "no weapons, fake or real." (Only in the south can a quotation of such substance be made)

 

Guess it's like the theaters not letting you bring outside food and drink because when I was there on the opening weekend they were selling fake and real weapons.

 

they SELL but you can't bring any IN.

if you purchase, you absolutely cannot carry them around unprotected. i think the policy is they wrap it and hold it at the door for you. if they see you carrying ANY live steel they will eject you.

and yes, i have witnessed said ejection on more than one occasion. there's a good reason for this rule - they don't want anyone getting hurt.

 

dont you have to park in a field i just bring this up in case it has rained a few days prior to the event for anyone that doesnt want to take their 8 on an off road mudding adventure

 

true, but there's always the possibility of someone or a few people bringing large vehicles/minivans/station wagons along...

 

...or the fact that there is beer, wine and mead available in greater abundance than steel every 75 paces.:D But for those that simply must handle steele they do have the battle axe, pick axe, knife and star throwing arcades. All hard cold steele and a lot harder to stick than I thought. Me thinks I would have died early in the middle ages. Note you do have to protect your head with a pretty stupid looking hat at the battle axe pit.

 

yes...the large amounts of wine, beer, and mead are part of the reason a LOT of people go this particular weekend.

if anyone plans on drinking, i'll be borrowing the parents' minivan...so if you live in the Baltimore area, and are fine with meeting near Timonium, i'll happily drive. i don't drink, but i certainly don't mind helping out those who intend to drink. all i ask is that you NOT vomit in the van - the parentals would be highly displeased.

at any rate - yes, there are large amounts of sharpnshineys to play with while at the Festival...so you can sate your need to play.
