    Pay close attention, you sea dogs!

    The current thinkin' be to storm the Fest, on Saturday June 20th, at 10:00 am or such. (So as to catch 'em with their pants down and before it heats up, temperature-wise.)

    We'll be pulling up anchor and heading to the tavern for grog by 2:30 pm, savy? So if ye wants to be sail'n with the Nor Cal Rabble chart yer course accordingly.

    Oh', I don't know. Have you ever walked a plank?

    In a previous life, Mrs. Farlander was an official Sea Dog. A gig that she would do on occasion was to take a long wide chunk of wood (i.e. a plank) and tie a line (i.e. length of rope) around it, and drag it around while being all teary eyed. So of course inevitably, someone would see the spectacle and have to ask, "My dear Lady, what is the matter? What are you doing?". This would then be replied by "I was a bad little girl, sniff sputter,
    AND THEY ARE MAKING ME WALK THE PLANK!"

    Well me buccaneers, looks like we've got fair skies and temps in the mid-70's predicted for this Saturday.

    So as to make sure everyone who is joining in the fun is accounted for, I suggest that we arrange a fixed meet-up time for the usual class photo, and to coordinate the after gathering say 1:00 pm near the main stage on the right side of this here map.





    I'm planning to get the fest by 11:00 or so, and will keep a weather eye on the horizon for kilted rabblers.

    Best regards,

    Sounds Like a plan Jake!

    1:00 at the main stage

    We should be arriving sans Xena around 11:00 as well and will keep an eye out for ye.

    Should Sinbad bring the rubber chicken?



    Cheers

    "Ye come seekin' adventure and salty ol' pirates, aye? Sure ye come to the proper place. But keep a weather eye open, mates, and hold on tight, with both hands if you please... there be squalls ahead, and Davey Jones waiting for them what don't obey..."

    Avast, I've been scuttled by a family event, in Vallejo no less, and doubt I can run the blockade and get away in time to be with ye all. I shall be thar on Sunday, but that's neither here nor thar.
