… or his tentacle.

Another excellent fest – I had a lovely time, it was great to see everyone again, and meet some new people. I think I came home with more paper goods than I went with, though! But that’s okay, they’ll get used… we hate doing dishes in my household. All in all an excellent time. I want more pictures, though! **Cleophus** , **Tris** , **av8rmike** … I know you all took some, get 'em up here! 🙂

Also, I’m considering trying to organize a fest-like event for a bunch of us to go to the PA Renaissance Faire together in a couple of months. Anyone who’s interested, keep an eye out for a thread on that.

Good pix, **Cleophus**! The one of Aaron and Bailie is really cute.

Oy. I’m still recovering from **danceswithcats** ’ chili. It was awesome but it, um, caused some untoward effects. The corn was good, if I do say so myself, and am planning to make a ham and creamed corn casserole for dinner tomorrow night, among other uses. (The corn-and-chicken soup idea is a good one, **supervenusfreak**. I’ll ask MiL for freezer space, since our freezer won’t hold much of anything.)

Thanks for the pix, **Cleophus**! You’ve made a grandmother very happy.

I can’t see **Cleophus** ’s pics.

Thanks to all - I haven’t laughed that much in ages.

Aaaaand of course immediately after I posted that, I could see the pics.

:smack:

So, yeah.

Thanks to **danceswithcats** and everyone else who organized! I had a great time meeting so many new people (and hearing **Antares** ’ songs!). I only took about nine pictures so it’s silly of me to make my own album for them. Does anyone want to offer up some space and an e-mail?

And when I click on **Cleophus** ’ pics, how come I only get a broken picture icon, but I can see them on the main page?

I also get red Xs when I try to view the full size pictures in **Cleophus** ’ album. I love the Sprite gag though.

If you send them, I’ll add to those already in Photobucket. [danceswithcats@att.net](mailto:danceswithcats@att.net)

No clue with failure to display-we’ll have to wait for someone more geekly to come along and 'splain it.

Sorry about your discomfort **MsRobyn**. The stages of chili are basically:

The pics in Cleophus’ album want javascript enabled, to open a new window (yes, a popup) with the slide show in it.

Both sets are great - looks like it was a great time.

Why the raised eyebrow?

Like I said - haven’t laughed that much in a long time. I wish I had talked to more people, but I kind of lack the social skills.

To **Ethilrist** : Speaking as one who hadn’t seen the lady in 18 months and engaged her in chat for a while on Saturday, **Hamadryad** wasn’t impaired by anything other than her unique sense of humor. This isn’t the Pit, so please don’t come along with drive-by insults at those whom I consider friends.

Lighten up, it was a joke.

I was going to ask if YOU were having a very good time, in the picture where you’re talking to\*\* Hamadryad\*\*, because your shirt is doing something interesting at the bottom, there. 😃

Oh, and incase you can’t tell…

IT"S A JOKE!

Had a great time!

I’ve got pix, but I lost track of the camera amidst unloading the car when I got home Saturday night, and finally located it late last night, too late to bother downloading anything off it. So it’ll be tonight at the earliest before I get any pix posted.

Yup, that’s me alright.

**An Arky** , who arrived early and left early, was also not in the group pic.
