Pennsic looms

[cellio]

They only moved Pennsic one week earlier, but still, I keep having feelings of "wait, this weekend is land grab?!". I think it's because they crossed a month boundary. Pennsic is in August, darn it. :-)

If you're going and there's any chance I don't know where you camp, please leave me a comment with that information or any other location hints you'd like to offer. (I know some of you have nominal camps but actually live at the games tent, dance tent, etc.) Thanks. I'm camping with Polyhymnia, a sub-group of Debatable Lands, presumably in N10 as always and on the north side of the block (or, Cariadoc between Brewers and Chandlers). (Look for the little house on the flatbed.) I'll be there this Sunday for setup, will be arriving to stay next Friday, and will be leaving mid-day the following Friday.

That house is amazing! All that work for something you only live in for one week a year? I'm beyond impressed!

Usually closer to two weeks, but this year I spent vacation time going to Israel and Hebrew College.

It greatly improves my Pennsic experience and it's also a big win for our camp -- we can have the luxuries we have (like the kitchen and pantry buildings, the running water, etc) because we have a place to store it all during the year. So I get first- and second-order benefits from it, and the rest of the camp gets second-order benefits.

It's also fun. :-)

I will not be there, but MikeKn will be delivering a very small parcel to you from me.

Sorry I'll miss you.

(A present? Ah, a mystery. :-) )

We're camping as guests of Lochleven, in E-18 (that's Old Tuchux Hill). Naturally, himself can probably be tracked down at the Dance Tent or the Games Tent.

*Sigh!* My wife and I will be at home. Hoist a tankard for me! -- Dagonell

We'll be with House Corvus on the Serengeti N12

I'm camping with Caer Edgemere again. Usually on Brewer's Road downhill from Howard's Fenway just before the trees -- I haven't heard otherwise so I'm guessing that's where we'll be again this year.

You may have random An Tirians coming your way - I always mention your house as a must see at Pennsic! *grins*

One of these years we will come back!

[cellio]

Visitors are always welcome! If I'm home and awake I'll be happy to show them around.

I hope we get to see you there again someday.

Whereas I'll be... at home. And not at Pennsic. While my coworker is there.. :-(

Your employer has a quota on Pennsic attendees? How sad.

Not so much- i just started in March, and the jewish holidays take all the limited number of vacation days I have. Next year... we'll have fun. I'll want to go for the 2nd week for sure, and the weekends.. (Thur seems like a good day to show up, personally. *That* will be fun.

(We also just lost an admin, and so are at 3 full SA's. Him taking 2 weeks makes for a rough oncall rotation this month.

"Pennsic looms" made me think this entry would be about weaving... *g*

Not gonna be there, but maybe some year.

Heh. I thought of that after posting, but thought hlinspjalda would be the one to give me trouble over it. :-)

As has been said for many consecutive years: "Next year at Cooper's Lake".
