All right Jeff, grab a spine and start crackin'. (My hotmail account went belly up and I haven't bothered to reinstate it so we're not getting the traffic on the 15th Century list).

I have it on very good authority that the scenarios will include (but certainly will not be limited to):

*The Boston Tea Party, complete with firey brands and funny wigs. Since Jeff has met with limited success in rounding up a boat and everyone he knows has sworn off caffeine, Plan B for this scenario includes lots of dishpans of water, toy boats and organic green tea.

*The English Scenario, reenacting the Department of Funny Walks a la Monty Python. Jeff gets to be the guy who looks like he has fire ants in his braies.

*George Washington's Birthday party, complete with an enormous chocolate cake! This one pending approval of the fire department.

Sounds like a blast, and I'm increasingly sorry that I live 3,000 miles away and can't make it. It promises to be the event of the season- don't forget your "Ladies Day at Ascot" hat!

Hopefully we'll see y'all in the spring.

Reminder!

I've got couple of volunteers to work scenarios and prep and we should have that together next week. We've also made progress on a meal menu (Yeah!)

Current plan is to charge an (adult only) site fee of $25. Any surplus will go towards my "House in the Bahamas" fund. Actually, we'll donate it to our host site.

I'll be contacting a couple of people who I'vediscussed food with soon. I'd appreciate it if anyone willing to contribute towards food prep would E-mail me privately.

Hey, good Ideas Gwen! I was also planning on a Henry IV Pinata and Chicken races! Could you forward the rules on kick-the-cabbage? (What I REALLY Need is your Pickling recipe though) Pretty-please?

Bummer - no Jenn or Frederich, and now I hear Nikki's not going to make it. Who's gonna help me make grilled Cheese? Still, we ought have a goodly crowd!

JeffJ you're a genius! A Henry IV Pinata and Chicken races! That boy knows how to throw a party!!

Clearly you missed your true calling as a special event coordinator!

Seriously, send me an email about anything you need- you know I'll help if I can but I am a bit, shall we say -distracted- at the moment.

Alas, Charolette, everyone will have to forego shooting Chef with the rabbit blunts.

If the event had stayed the first week of November, we might have been able to do it, but Peter has retail obligations, and Bob's work program is kicking into high gear and at my company our development team has a major product roll.

So no Bob. I have to contact Carmen and Bernard to see if they will be making the trek from Montreal.

Sorry guys. We really wanted to be there. I never get to go down south to visit.
