ConGlomeration

[Lucy]

Well, I suppose ConGlom is up next....

So? Tink? Eric? How's it going? Anything we need to be doing?

[Mum Tarts]

Buehler???

[Tinkerwench]

Sorry - we've been very busy with the SCA and our theatre troupe. Will be posting more soon.

[Tinkerwench]

Will have better details after this Sunday's meeting, but it looks like the Wenches/Rogues Gather on Friday evening at 4 - we have the dinner hour and after for wench and rogue shows - so ...Gather at 4, Wench at 5 Rogue at 6. It looks like we'll have at least 4 Pinned Rogues, so we need to come up with ideas for them on ROgue Eye.

How do we want those Mundane boys trained ladies? COme up with topics for the ROgues to teach.

[Lucy]

Bob won't be able to make it for anything of Friday...just FYI...not that he's "pinned" anywho...

[Tinkerwench]

Well, He'll just have to miss all the fun now won't he!

[Katerinka Kotenoka]

We're gonna have to gang up on you two busy bees Lucy!

Rogues.. how to flirt... they really need to know how.

[Eric McTavish]

Rogues.. how to flirt... they really need to know how.

I'll do my best luv... I shall train the poor padawans... :shock:

[Katerinka Kotenoka]

Rogues.. how to flirt... they really need to know how.

I'll do my best luv... I shall train the poor padawans... :shock:
Better or I'll kick your ass!

[Eric McTavish]

Better or I'll kick your ass!

TEASE! Ya dont mean it :(

[Tinkerwench]

UPDATE

THe Wenching 101 and Rogue Eye for the Mundane Guy panels have been moved to 7 pm on Saturday just after Wonderful Wench Wendy does her panel on Elizabethan - Inside out. SHe'll start in her knickers and get dressed piece by piece into a full Elizabethan court gown. explaining it as she goes. Since the Lady is also a Wench we follow with our panel.

We're still doing Jail and Bail - times have not been set for that yet. More details hopefully this weekend.

[Katerinka Kotenoka]

Yeah! And there I was scared/bugged by Chris saying that the panels were gonna be Friday evening.
Please tell me that Wonderful Wench Wendy will be having help putting on her Elizabethan court gown. I don't want to be fainting from the thought of a wench doing all that by herself.

So.. since I don't have any tempting food to hold me right now... what can I do to help?

[Tinkerwench]

Trina - right now, your job is to be part of the "jail bait" for the jail and bail. Until then - just be ready to help with the Wench panel by being a demonstrator. I'll try to have a polished copy of our notes from last year available soon for anyone who'd like a copy.

[Lucy]

And what do I get to do??

Are they still only giving T-shirts away for our volunteer time or will we be able to get discount passes or something?

Yes! Notes would be great so those of us who can't make meetings can be in the loop too! :D You're so good!

Lucy

[Tinkerwench]

THe policy stands that volunteers must work at least 4 hours to get a free T-shirt. If you participate in the Wench panel, Opening ceremonies and do at leat 2 hours of Jail and Bail - that's the t-shirt.

No one get's a discount entry. CHris and I paid full entry fees last year and will do the same this year.

Any problems you have with this should be directed to the Convention COmmittee proper as it was their decision.

THe notes I was speaking of were the power point presentation that I did for last year's panel Lucy, just so those who don't know what we're up to can get an idea. We'll do a repeat with some updated info and polish the Rogues performance this year. SInce there are more wenches and rogues it should be much more fun. AND! I put a warning on the panels that Wenches and Rogues are involved in that we are PG 13. Had one tiny complaint last year that there wasn't a warning. SHould be safe to go to the level we went to last year.

The actual programming meetings, you aren't missing much. Mostly at this point it's fill in the holes in the programming grid and finalize what we need.

[wendyzski]

Please tell me that Wonderful Wench Wendy will be having help putting on her Elizabethan court gown. I don't want to be fainting from the thought of a wench doing all that by herself.

Hell no - there are places I can't reach!

I asked Ariyanna Dragonwagon to help me out, since she's helped get me into that outfit before, and she's rooming with me at the con.

Of course, if there are any willing rogues who want to tie a girl up....

[Katerinka Kotenoka]

We have a few rogues that'll be there. But if you need some more non-rogue help, there's always me.
Tinker/Eric... what was the name of the wench & rogue we met at Border Raid? They stopping by?

Whoa whoa hey...I was just asking.... besides, after them not doing it last year, I figured. Any word on whether or not they will be doing day passes or anything?

[AllieSutherland]

That makes it a lot easier (on Saturday night); I was thinking that we wouldn't have an apportunity to get together and talk about stuff before it got pulled off, so that's primarily why I suggested getting together on the weekend of the 23rd.

Will there be a minute to touch base on Friday re: our part in things? Nothing terribly long or elaborate... just to make sure we're all on the same page.

That may be a little easier (and postpone the meeting of the 23rd if everyone wishes) because it seems like eveyone is quite busy at this time (inderstandably so!)

I'm still a "go" for the Jail-N-Bail Offical Jail Bait team! As long as you need me!

Can I still claim some floor space in the suite, if it's okay?

XOXOX
Allie

[Tinkerwench]

No worries Lucy, it's just a sore spot with all of us right now. THey won't even comp Wendy's fee and she's FLYING in from CHicago for us. SHEESH!

Not sure about the day pass - will ask Meg about it and let you know.

THe Gather is still set for Friday - we have lots of open meeting rooms on Friday so far. And space in my room if it comes to that.

Allie - you're welcome to crash - we're just asking peeps to pitch in a bit toward the room and remember - smoker's room. If you've got air matress - bring it - there's plenty of room for that.

And I'll make sure Chris has his breather machine - no snoring - yech.

and Trina - remind me to email the one address I got from those folk from Border raids - I think I got the wench and rogue's.

[Deena]

Marty and I will not be able to go to the Con, we had some things come up and are short on cash :( . Hopefully we will be back on track for the Ohio Renn faire. Sorry guys, but having to buy for four does get expensive. I know you guys will have a blast, make lots of pictures for us.

Nicole

[Lucy]

Indeed! I'll have the new super ultra kewl digital camera all weekend. We wrote the check last night for our passes and we'll BOTH be there! :) Bob sounds like he really wants to go!

[wendyzski]

We have a few rogues that'll be there. But if you need some more non-rogue help, there's always me.
Tinker/Eric... what was the name of the wench & rogue we met at Border Raid? They stopping by?

Well, the Rogue was Peter Beer-Slayer, and he got in touch with me (I know him from Marcon) and I got his info to Tink.

Gotta love the Rennie Grapevine!

[Tinkerwench]

With Marty and Nicole out - that leaves us a Rogue short. I do have a friend from the SCA who is thinking of coming down. He's Chris' counterpart in the theatre troup and an absolute blast. Un Rogue-like but a true gentleman and funny. Must talk to him more next weekend at the next performance. His wife is thinking of giving a panel on the history and art of flirting. How to take wenching to a higher level!

[Tinkerwench]

Rennie Grapevine! THank goodness some of our Rogues are also Scadians!

More is merrier and twice as nice.

[Lucy]

Hey! Really weird thing happened today....I dropped some film off at Walgreens and about an hour later I got a phone call from the guy at Walgreens saying that he recognized my Viking pin from one of my photos! LOL! So anywho...he and his wifey live here in Louisville and I told him all about the Con so I'm hoping to get them there too! :)

Hey did everyone send in their registration? The cut off for the discount is the 31st!!! Don't forget! ;)

I can't wait to see everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Katerinka Kotenoka]

Um... haven't registered... what do I need to do?
Have a bloody cold, have to get rid of it! Con Glom and my test are in two weeks. Can't do the test if I'm sick, would have to wait longer to get it. Someone kill my dad... make it look like an accident because he's the one that gave me the cold! :evil:

[Lucy]

go to

http://www.conglomeration.org

and print the reg form & send it in! :)

[Ariyana Dragonwagon]

Thanks Lucy!! I had totally forgotten about sending in the registration fee!! ANd by putting the link you made it far easier for me!!!

{{{bearhugs}}}} You are such a sweetie

[Lucy]

Awww shucks! :oops:

Just wanna make sure everyone gets there! :)

[Isolde de Ely]

Hello! New wench. I will be attending Conglomeration :)

Make sure you send in by the 31st - the website says the 23rd, but the mailing didn't. Tell them you decided to print it out instead of ruining the mailing, if you didn't get one :) $25

General note: I may tend to be quiet, but can be led into temptation :)

[Katerinka Kotenoka]

Well, do to some strange way, I cannot afford they're registration fee. Don't ask, I haven't totally recalculated my check book, just glance from it to the papers the bank sent me. Seeing as I would never go to a convention like this anyways if I wasn't in it (too lazy, and only care about the simple pleasure of books and movies) they're going to have to deal with me volenteering and keep their fucking shirt. I'm sorry, but if they cannot deal with me raising money for the chairity we're supporting (which one is it?), they can ignore me at the jail.

And howdy Isolde de Ely. Nice to see another in the local.

ConGlom can blow it out thier fucking ass, I have more pressing things to think about that actually have to do with real life.

Yay! Another Louisvillian!!! Welcome!!! Where in Lou do you live?? I'm in J-town and Mum is close to here too! Thanks for the info on the conglom dates...I noticed that too but figured they would honor the 31st date.

Trina... I'm sorry babe... *hugglez*

[Isolde de Ely]

Near Churchill Downs. I have another friend who lives here and Indiana who is also a wench, but somehow her number was reassigned.

I mailed my check today.

[Mum Tarts]

ok, well I sent in my form and money order for the ConGlomeration..post office lady said cause it's local should get there next day. I didnt volunteer for anything....don't know what I would be gettin' myself into :? But I'm going to be there. won't be much of a problem since it's down the street :D

Oh by the way welcome!. It's always nice to meet a sister wench in this town.

[Tinkerwench]

Consider yourself taken out of the line up for anything. If this is your attitude - we don't want you there.

I can't afford this either. Last year I volunteered, paid my way and did 13 panels. We were invited, as a local to do this. I'm sure there will be other events in the future that the guild will be asked to participate that will also involve some sort of out of pocket expense on our part.

I'm sorry that you feel this way and I'm sorry that you chose a public forum to blast something I have been working on for a year now.

And furthernore - We have a Wench from all the way in CHicago -paying her own airfaire and hotel to come and volunteer for this event. You should be ashamed of yourself for being so petty.

[Lucy]

Okay, I know there are hard feelings about ConGlom and their lack of wanting to give passes for volunteering. I feel jipped to a point also, but the brutally honest truth is that we can't do a good goddamn about it. Either we go and have fun with everyone or we don't. Period.

Trina, I totally understand your aggravation...but next time maybe just blast an e-mail over to the ConGlom people and let them know how you feel...lol.

To everyone: If anyone has an issue, please take it to PM or e-mail and not on the public board.

I'm not taking sides....just the moderator here. :)

*hugglez*

[AllieSutherland]

I still plan to attend, barring any major snafus. :) I look forward to seeing you guys there!

A question -- when is the Jail and Bail? I'm trying to arrange whether I'll need puppy care for two or three days (wasn't sure if anything is going on Sunday that I would be attending). If anyone knows, please give me a heads-up!

Love, Allie :)

[Tinkerwench]

The Jail and Bail occurs on Saturday - begining some time in the morning and ending just prior to our panel.

[Isolde de Ely]

I suppose I will see y'all there. Do I need to meet people at a particular place and/or time?

[Tinkerwench]

For all the newbies who don't know me - my cell phone will be firmly attached to me at the con - 502-939-8077. You may ask for Tinker from any of the staff, I'm on the programming staff - they should know me. It's my mundane nickname(actaully maiden name for those who don't know)

You may also ( at your own risk) ask for Rogue Eric McTavish aka Chris Lemke - he's the hubby and also on the programming staff.

We will be there at the con opening on Friday and probably there helping set up on Thursday evening after we get off work. Volunteers to help set up meeting rooms are always welcome.

We will be having a meet and greet on Friday evening for those who are there. CHeck your con program for a listing of when and where. Use the cell number above to call me before the con if you like.

Look forward to meeting all the new wenches!

[Lucy]

I especially look forward to meeting a Louisville wench!!! YAY!!! Do you sew???

[Katerinka Kotenoka]

Lucy, don't worry about me. I got paid today... but then I paid my bills, not as much as I'd like left. I'm guessing that a convention is like a theme park without the rides. But if I don't get to know this, no problem I'll take ya'lls word for it. I love faires, I love SCA, however, I'm cheap. I know what the opinion of paying to educate others, same here. If I don't end up there this weekend, then you know that I wish it all well (except that the person who won't budge on workers paying breaks something). And if I'm not there, I'll just be laying down at home because I underestimated my response to the discogram.

[Isolde de Ely]

I do sew, but not very well. I don't currently have a sewing machine, alas. I do a little embroidery also.

[Isolde de Ely]

Also, I might not want to ask a Rogue for help - he might just mislead me :)

[Eric McTavish]

Also, I might not want to ask a Rogue for help - he might just mislead me :)

I wouldnt mislead you Never! Just follow me I'll take you right where you need to go... :twisted:

[KissMeKate]

Following Eric is fine, but don't ask him for directions! :lol:

Again, I wish I could be there, but summer and most of fall are now booked. :(

[Katerinka Kotenoka]

I appologize to everyone for my bitching about money, I did not intend to upset anyone, just state my hatred of money.
Go about your day, I'm a fucking moron.

[Lucy]

I appologize to everyone for my bitching about money, I did not intend to upset anyone, just state my hatred of money.

You are not! Hell, I bitch about money all the time! No, I don't think it's fair that they are making the workers pay...but oh well. I suppose they must REALLY need the money for those T-shirts...lol. I sure hope you can make it!

I do sew, but not very well. I don't currently have a sewing machine, alas. I do a little embroidery also.

Oh kewl! I used to embroider! We'll have to get together sometime and make stuff! LOL! I look forward to meeting you!

[Ariyana Dragonwagon]

Ok so ConGlomeration is just a week away.. Tink.. What do we need to know and do... figure we should be starting to get some idea by now! (well it sounds good lol!)

{{hugs}}} starting to get excited here.. I think...

Ari

[Isolde de Ely]

Do I need to bring my songbook and brown book with me? I just need to know what to bring, besides myself.

I'm new to wenching - though teasing has been fun in the past :)

Mew!

[Eric McTavish]

Ok ladies and Tink is busy I'll post...
Friday evening we're having a "Wench and Rouge's Gathering" (Time and Place are in the Con Program) We have a room just for us to use... those of you who cannot make it untill Saturday worry not we'll find you and bring you up to speed!

Friday evening we're basicly going over our plans for when, what, and where things involving the Wenches and Rogues will be happening... also this way we can plan around things you would like to do at the con.. etc...etc...
So We're really looking forward to a strong showing of the Wenches and Rogues and the Con is really happy to have us!!!
See you all soon!!!

[Lucy]

Friday evening we're having a "Wench and Rouge's Gathering" (Time and Place are in the Con Program)

Ya mean ya can't even give us a TIME as to when everyone's meeting? ok, that's weird...


Anywho... When is everyone coming in? Thurs? Friday? Times? I'm getting off work early on Friday so Mum and I will be available to help out wherever or meet up with any strays! ;) PLEASE don't hesitate to ask me to do anything...I really want to help!

[wendyzski]

My flight gets in at 6:10.
I'll pick up my luggage and take the hotel shuttle from the airport.
I'm rooming with Ariyanna, Jared, and Princess Breena.
I'll look in the program for meet-up. I'll either be in flight clothes or black/green/pvc/wenchish outfit.

Saturday I'm be in standard faire garb(blue/green) till around 4, when I'll need to go prep for my panel. After the panel, I'll be kind of hard to miss.

Pix of me can be seen at http://pages.ripco.net/~zski/photogallery.htm
Obviously not all the pix are me, but you'll figger it out.

[Mum Tarts]

Hello?? Lucy is right, we do not have a time to meet and nothing is said on the conglom website (about our schedule), so does anyone have an idea of when we should be there? We will be glad to help out with the setup and such but need more info...thanks
:?

[AllieSutherland]

Plans have changed (due to lack of puppy care (mom going away for the weekend) and her being *ahem* expelled from all local kennels), and I will only be there Saturday during the day/evening. I'll be coming up early Saturday morning and staying until late Saturday night. But I shall be there. :)

[Moogs]

Friday evening we're having a "Wench and Rouge's Gathering" (Time and Place are in the Con Program) We have a room just for us to use... those of you who cannot make it untill Saturday worry not we'll find you and bring you up to speed!
:shock:
Hello, I'm Moogs, wench #1699. What time is the Wench and Rogue's Gathering? Tink... I'm the wench you met in the pseudo-Serengeti of Border Raids. Peter Beerslayer might be able to make it to Conglom before 5, but I won't make it until 5:30-6. I'd be happy to help out with the jail, etc, but I've already volunteered to tech the Masquerade. Will the timing on that interfere with helping you?

[Eric McTavish]

Sorry sorry sorry... I dont have my program here at work Yes I have a program with all the times etc on it already and all just not here at work... I'll ask Tink to post the time of the gathering... Im thinking it's around 4is or so... but I was thinking we should have another get-together in our room Fri evening so we all can meet each other and prep for Saturday I'll post our room # and all in the Con-Suite everyone who dosent have Tink or my cell phone # pm me and I'll hand them out so you can find us when you arrive at con... We're gonna have a GREAT time and Im looking forward to seeing everyone there!

[Lucy]

Tee hee...thanks Ewic! I'm off work at 2pm Friday and will be picking Mum up right after. Should we bring garb for anything Friday or is it a sort of informal thingy or what?? :) Are we all going out to dinner or something Friday night? (we WILL have to eat you know...lol) Are we going to dinner in GARB? LOL.... oh yes, I *AM* evil...

Allie, no worries hun! Is there nowhere you can house the pup here?? Just a thought. I'll just be happy to see your smiling face! :)

[wendyzski]

Plans have changed (due to lack of puppy care (mom going away for the weekend) and her being *ahem* expelled from all local kennels), and I will only be there Saturday during the day/evening. I'll be coming up early Saturday morning and staying until late Saturday night. But I shall be there. :)

**is sad**

but at least we gets to see you.

and for those who are wondering what to wear, "SF Conventions mean never having to say 'but where would I wear that?'!!

[Ariyana Dragonwagon]

and for those who are wondering what to wear, "SF Conventions mean never having to say 'but where would I wear that?'!!

yeah but we might all want to coordinate just a bit...to make our group LOOK together lol and I admit I have been wondering about bring clothes to change into for Sat after all the panels.. or whether everyone plans to stay in garb???

We will likely not be there till later Friday night, since he has to work at least a full day (lots of fridays seem to be OT sigh especially if we have somewhere to go!) then will have to pack car, feed all of us then drive (or stop to eat on the way but with Breena it means sit down and takes longer than before!)

We had been wondering about dinner Saturday night.. since that seems to be the night we will all be around... and with the times of our panels... an early dinner or a late one maybe???

I will only be there Saturday during the day/evening. I'll be coming up early Saturday morning and staying until late Saturday night. But I shall be there.

Yeah At least we will get to see and HUG you for the day!!! Isn't there anyway to maybe bring the Pudgemonster with??? or anywhere to possibly leave him at all?? sigh hate to see you miss this...even a small portion of it all...

ok I am starting to get excited and to realize I am soooooooo not ready for all of this!!!!

{{{{bearhugs}}}}}}}

[Tinkerwench]

Friday – the Con opens at noon. I will be near the front registration desk as I’ll be working the screening room until 3 when I have a panel.

After the 5 pm dinner break – From 6 to 7 pm The Wenches and Rogues have the ballroom for a gather. I will go into detail on the Jail and Bail duties, the Wench panel and the Masquerade duties. For those who cannot attend the gather – due to you not being there yet – we can meet up later in the evening in the con suite or in my room to get you up to date on the proceedings.

At 7 I must do the Duct Tape Bodice panel followed by opening ceremonies.

Not sure about Chris schedule – but I’m free after that until 10 when I need to check in on Who’s Line is it Anyway to see if they need actors.

Saturday: This is the beginning of a LONG day for me. (and in a bodice!)

At 9 am I will meet with the Kid Con folk – they need 3 wench/rogues in piratey garb for the Kid Con treasure hunt. We will meet at 9 to discuss pirate duties.

Jail and Bail will probably begin at 10 and run til 4-ish. I have several panels that I must duck out to and back to J&B. If every one puts in an hour or 2 we should cover it with no problems.

5 pm is dinner break

6-7 is the Elizabethan panel with Wendy.

7-8 Wench and Rogue – we will be demonstrating proper wench behavior such as proper kilt checks – kissing marks, etc… Lucy – pretty much same as last year – we just have more wenches! The Rogues will demonstrate …whatever.

At 8 pm the Masquerade begins with a Mini Masquerade. The Kid Con kids make a costume from scrap stuff in the hour before the show – The Wenches and Rogues have been asked to escort them parade style into the masquerade and intro them.

Masquerade Half Time Show. We have been asked to provide 30 minutes of wenchy and rougey type stuff. I’d like to demonstrate a wenching from someone in the audience – pre-arranged of course. And maybe more Rogue eye stuff.


Midnite is Rocky Horror = if I’ve not passed out at that point.

I’m free after Masquerade until the next day at 11 when I have another panel.

Not nearly as labor intensive as last year for me (I did 13 panels) but I will be on the run all day Saturday.

Chris and I both will have cell phones glued to hip for duration of con – the staff has to get a hold of us too. If looking for us, and you can’t find us – ask for PROGRAMMING STAFF members – they will know who we are and where to find us.


I think that covers it. I’m not allowed to access this site from work anymore so you’ll have to wait till after work to reach me via the board or phone.

Now – back to my regularly scheduled breakdown………

[Katerinka Kotenoka]

Um... what are the words I'm looking for? Oh yeah, I remember... Bloody Hell, holy shit! Uh.. I don't think I understood before that this thing took that long. Maybe that's why the only things I've done in the past were more .... sedate? Remind me to bring my pills! And ... does anyone have anything like a billy stick for to beat the prisoners with? No Tinker, the balaying pin's too heavy on one end. Wait...can I beat the prisoners?

[Isolde de Ely]

I was planning to wear different corsets for the three days. I love doing that for conventions - though with one I generally wear zipper pants that unzip really high, and add black wings. I always get pictures taken :) With all of them, not just the demoness.

However, I can wear skirts as well, if that would convey a better, more wench-y image.

I should be there Friday, since I am local - I'm just not too sure when. If you have a color preference, my corset colors are green-slightly metallic, burgundy with black trim, black leather, and royal blue with embroidery. I can wear them in any order :) if we're trying to match.

:D

[Eric McTavish]

Well Trina, this is why we had planned on making you and Lori the "Jail Bait" 2 lovely ladies to man the jail and tourcher the prisoners (and let them out when their time was up) there will be a chairs and all so no running about for you (unless you want to that is)!
This goes for the Wench and Rogues show and all as well, nothing too strenuous. We WONT ask anyone to work themselves to the bone (well maybe I'll ask that of someone.. :twisted: ) this is all volunteer, we appreciate your help (all of you) and, in truth, need it, but we want everyone to have fun as well!
As for dinner and all Tink and I are "on duty" in the evenings, although my "duty" my require me to sample all the drinks offered at all the room parties, we had planned on having a nice little Pizza party Saturday night in our room and maybe one Friday night as well so we can all have some fun together!

As for Garb and All we only ask that if you plan on taking part in the Jail and Bail, and/or help out with the Wench and Rogue shows you be in your normal Renfaire Garb! Otherwise wear whatever you want! Enjoy, Be comfortable!

Some highlights for the con (now that I have my program):

Friday:
6-7pm - Wench and Rogues gathering

7-8pm - How to make a duct tape bodice pattern (Tink is doing this panel)

10-midnight - Sci-Fi Whos line is it anyway? (Tink and I are stand-by actors for this should be a really fun show!)

12am-2am- Buffy Sing along! A Rocky Horror type showing of the infamous Musical Buffy episode

Saturday
10- To whenever we feel like ending it but no later than 7pm - Jail and Bail, as long as we have 2 folks (more would be good but at least 2) covering this everyone should have a chance to do any of the panels or shopping thy would like!

10-11am - Belly Dance Lessons (a very good local professional troop give lessons in basic belly dancing) (note there will be some "security" so there will be no "lookie-loos" the only people in the room are those interested in learning no observers.

3 - 5 pm - So you’re a virgin, learning the Rocky Horror Show (we're showing the Rocky Horror show at midnight!)

7 - 8pm - Wench and Rogue show this leads into the Masquerade that runs from 8 till whenever

Now these are just a small sampling of things I thought might be of some interest... there will also be movies running 24 hours in our screening room, Filk (sci-fi fantasy folk singing) and Jam sessions late into the night, A venders market for shopping (over 100 venders) an Art show, charity art auction, anime, a 24 hour hospitality suite with drinks and munchies, and not to forget the room parties Friday and Saturday night.

I hope everyone has a great time

[Lucy]

HUZZAHHH!!! Belly dancing finally!!!!!!!! Hope they actually show up this year... I was sadly disappointed to have missed out last year. WHOOT!!!

Ooh - belly-dancing! Such a nice stretch before corseting!
Yeah - I'll be in Friday after the initial gather-ing, so I'll touch base when I get in and channge out of "normal" clothes".
I'd be up for pizza on Sat, prolly after Masquerade. Tink - who are the other judges?

I am looking forward to meeting all the folks I don't already know yet.

Well...

I've got some news. I don't know yet how it's going to play out.

I just had to put $182 in my van today. 32 oz. of freon and an oil change.

I have to pay my parents back. I'm going to talk with them more tomorrow, but they're having money problems, too, and I can't spend $50 on gas and $35 on my admission with a clear conscience for the weekend.

I'm going to talk with them about it tomorrow, but don't hold your breath. Put me down for a very shaky, tenative "maybe" for the weekend.

*sigh*

Oh okay... torture but not beat. *long suffering sigh* If I can't beat them, I guess torturing will have to do.

Can you guess what kinda mood I'm in? :twisted: *twisted little laugh*

[wendyzski]

Consider this your official warning.

Lucy Buckles and I found out today that we wlll be losing our respective jobs.

I for one intend to mark the occasion by getting drunkity-drunk-drunk. (when my duties permit, of course)

I suspect we will require much rogue-ish support as well.

[Lucy]

Boy this ought to be fun...lol

[Katerinka Kotenoka]

:shock: What the hell?

[Mum Tarts]

Well, Tink and Eric. I wanted to tell you guys I had a great time! I'm sorry I couldn't make it last day to help out but unfortunately I hurt my knee. :( It was nice to see Trina and meet Wendy, and everyone else!! I didnt realize how much I missed everyone and all. :cry: I hope too see you all again soon. Eric thanks for the ice, and yes I will be seeing the Dr. tomorrow. Until then. hugs and kisses all around :grouphug:

[wendyzski]

Well, I'm home safe and I wanted to thank everyone who went out of their way to make me feel very welcome. I had a wonderful time, got lots of very positive comments, and was generally quite glad that I hiked down to see y'all! (see - been practicin')

Special thanks shoudl also be passed on to the Rogues as well, for giving a visiting wench a very warm welcome indeed. (mmmmm)

I miss you all, but hope that my aim is improving.

I have already received some photos but since I am terrible with names I am not sure who they are from. A couple shots of all of us at Rocky Horror, so if any of you want copies, let me know - got a couple so far of the "chorus line".

Some talk was being made about an expedition to Bristol at some point. I wanted to relay that while my apartment is very small, I have a sofa bed and can arrange crash space for visiting wenches and Rogues. I live about 45 minutes from site. I'd also be up for joining in on the fun - hitching a ride because I don't have a car. With a firm count (firm enough that i will be laying down cash in advance so don;t lie to me) I can probably swing a mess 'o' half-price tix was well.

*thud*

[Lucy]

Glad to hear you made it home okay Wendy! I'm SO glad we got to hang out this weekend...you were an absolute WEALTH of valuable info to me on Saturday with your panel! Thanks a bunch! :)

A Bit Thanks to all the Wenches and Rogues!!! Everything went great! We had a great time and I hope everyone else didi as well!!!
The con really liked our stuff and Wendy's and the Wench and Rogue Show were the Highest attended pannels this year!

Well done all And once again THANKS!!!!

As for Bristol all I can say is... We'll see... I need to shift about my accounting practices to find any hidden cash... we'll see thats the best I have at the moment.

[Lucy]

Huge thanks to Tink and Eric for all their hard work too! :)

[Isolde de Ely]

I really enjoyed meeting everyone and having fun, and leaving marks :)

My Livejournal entry (if you're curious)

and I'll try to get my pictures out of my camera soon, too, so you can see.

I had a lot of fun, and learned a lot from our most experienced Wenches and Rogues (though not as much as I'm sure they <the Rogues> wanted to learn) :lol: And, I had a lot of fun hanging out and dragging miscreants off to jail too. I definitely want to keep doing this.

I loved the art, though I'm more fantasy, Eric. :)

The green, blue brocades, and burgundy corseted wench, Isolde :meow:


:grouphug: Y'all did a great job
