I'm just trying to get an idea of some of the weekend plans. Could folks let us know the likelihood of them going to:
- the RenFest on the 5th May
- an evening BYOB party (nibbles, not food) on 5th May
- the CrawFest on the 6th May
The RenFest should be a heap of fun. I'm not sure if some of the wedding ceremony is in open view, but the reception is certainly enclosed and I'm afraid open only to limited numbers. We shouldn't be all that long before rejoining the rest of the gang, though.
For the evening, a venue has been offered, but we need an idea of numbers. If there are enough interested and folks don't think they'll be too tired, given that its to be a weekend of mayhem, then it will be announced as an open invite to anyone who wants to come. It will likely be slightly later in the evening, to give folks chance to make their own eating arrangements.
The CrawFest is on the Sunday, has its own thread, and is going to be the bomb!!!
Can I drop in a note, at this point, just to say that there is absolutely no expectation that folks are going to bring gifts. Both Diane and I are hardly spring chickens... ok, ok, I take that back... I'M not... so we don't really NEED anything. Besides, there's the issue of carting it over the pond to Scotland. Diane is getting a little excited at the prospect of complete strangers thrusting handfuls of money into my sporran, but I think that's more a fantasy thang... I think!
We're simply looking forward to seeing some old friends and making a few new ones, while celebrating our nuptials. It looks like being a memorable weekend!
- I'll (obviously) be at the RenFest, as I'm getting wed there (DV)
- I hope to be at a shindig in the evening, and shall bring a couple of slabs of beer to get things going
- I also intend to be at the CrawFest, as IPSECs Crawfish are legendary!
