Pennsic woes

[norsegirl]

Now that I've registered for Pennsic, I have to admit, I'm not 100% sure I want to go. I've just found out that all the people I camped with last time I went won't be attending, except of course for the only two people in the camp who drove me (and everyone else, which is why the rest of them chose to stay home) NUTS! So that makes 4 people for this encampment, which means no stuff, no space, and lots of close contact. Yipee.

My laurel had offered to allow me to camp with her when I was apprenticed last year. I was intrigued but let my husband make the final decision. He liked the people in our other camp, even if the location isn't ideal, but neither of us considered what if they don't come? Of course, since I left it to the last minute this year and her camp is in prime quarters, it looks like there's no space at her inn either.

Anyone on my f-list want two extra pre-reg's in their campsite for Pennsic? We're pretty easy-going, light drinkers, non-carousers. No kids and no serious cash problems, so will pay whatever camp fees are levied with little complaint. Were not overly keen on food plans since we're not actually in camp a lot of the time, so the chances that our drop-ins will co-ordinate with a meal are slim, and I'm a really crappy cook, so you don't want my help there. But we'll play along if that's the price of admission. We plan on attending from the Wednesday of land grab week to the Wednesday or Thursday of War week. Anyone have any room at their inn?

We were going to leave for Pennsic from London on Wednesday morning and head back either Wednesday or Thursday (we have to drive home and I don't know if we'll be starting work Monday or Tuesday, no time off approved yet).

Sounds good! Are you driving home home or back to London?

The dogs are in London, we have to go back to get them.

I can't say yes until I a) talk to my husband and b) get that new car. Honestly, you don't want to travel in the back of the Cavalier.

It can't be worse than the Tercel... I imagine I'd be taking the place of the dogs!

Yup. In theory, if I can get from here to there with two dogs and no husband, I can trade-up when I get to Ontario and make it to Pennsic with myself and two people. Same number of seatbelts and all. It's getting home with two dogs and husband that will be the challenge.

One word.. roof rack! (For the husband of course!)

I can't put a roof rack on *his* car, that would make it all un-sporty. Which is why I've talked him into getting rid of his car and getting a station wagon. You had to have a second "kid" honey, well, now you have to have the "family" car. It worked remarkably well. Now I just have to get off my ass and buy it.
