    Re: Galveston Dickens on The Strand festival

    I've wanted to go to Dickens on the Strand for several years... I have friends who go down there regularly. Someday I hope to go, not this year unfortunately -- I'll be going to another local festival. Looking forward to seeing photos and hearing how it went!

    Have fun!

    Hope to see y'all down there one of these years Cynthia! That sounds like my thing with the Scarborough Renaissance Festival, I mean to go every year, but something always jams me up!

    ...oh...Houston...didn't realize they were so close because all I keep hearing is that you have to drive forever to get from one place to another in Texas.

    you don't have to drive forever to get everyplace, just most places!
    If you fly into Houston / Hobby airport, Galveston Island is about 45 miles away, straight down I-45 South.

    Some of the Girltourage and I are staying on the island, and will be out both days. I'm pretty sure that Triolamj will be out, he comes every year. I generally run into a few of the Houston area rabble, and quite a few renfaire friends, down there every year.

    Dang, I've never been to this. I would love to go, but I've got a prior engagement this weekend. Hope to see you at Sherwood this spring, Zardos.
