Merry Christmas to everyone!  May this season and the coming year find us all happy, healthy and blessed. Beth

Cliff and I will not be going to Hammond.... Instead we will be trying to straighten out the train wreck that is our lives.... Happy fucking Birthday to me!!!!! Claire

Message from Danielle regarding Scarbourough:   Hey stranger! How goes it? I was wondering if perhaps you and your lovely crew were considering a trip to Scarborough this Summer. Its possible I will be working there, so in the event that you do head this way, do tell me! I would love to run into you guys!   We keep talking about trying to make a trip but we never get it off the ground.  I nominate Davious for the job of organizing this trip.   Shamus

Hey Monks, This is Claire Ford, friend of Kismet, Gordon(new this year but who is interseted in joining your brotherhood), and Cliff Elder(large red breaded guy who camps with you), and the possible cook for this years LA ren fest. I've camped with the Monks the past two years at TRF and assisted Kis with the meal prep. Kismet will not be able to attend Hammond this year, however Cliff, Gordon and I are planning to be there and I'm more than willing to cook. The arangement would be the same as with Kismet, six to eight meals through out the weekend at a (strongly) suggested donation of about $15-$20 a person. If you would like me to cook, let me know! Its one of the few things I do really well. If ya'll (sorry I am from Texas) think this is a bad idea, or a cook is not needed I will see you at Hammond anyways. Ya'll are the best!! Claire PS I really need a fest name, got any ideas? And for those who were hanging out with Steve at TRF, no nurple is not what I am looking for.

For anyone interested I am willing to serve as tour guide. Also, since there are no camping areas near the fair I have a spare bedroom available. For more information on the Festival go here:  Colorado
