Heh. Our dining room table hasn't been eaten at for about two weeks, if not longer. It's covered with my sewing and beading stuff. ;-)

Re: You know it's almost Pennsic when...
Mon, June 16, 2008 - 2:18 PMYou know when you start thinking of time in "number of days to Pennsic".
I also know when it's close to Pennsic when the sky starts looking a bit closer. -

Re: You know it's almost Pennsic when...
Mon, June 16, 2008 - 5:31 PMYou know it's getting close when...:
- The "packing lists' start to appear on Tribe.
- People start worrying/whining about their garb stockpile.
- Pennsic advice begins to flow freely from those who have to those who have not.
- Everyone has the "countdown clock" downloaded to their computer screens.
- The local Wally-Whirld and Meijer's stores begin to run out of items like:
- waterproofing spray
- tent stakes
- Cheap linen and "magic cotton" in the sewing depts.
- plastic tarps
- air mattresses and blow-up beds
- Propane canisters
- Pop Tarts
- MagLites
- flat black spray paint
;o) -

Re: You know it's almost Pennsic when...
Mon, June 16, 2008 - 7:31 PMOh, thanks for the reminder - I still need to buy Camp-Dri or something similar for my tent (and various other items). And Pop Tarts!
-
Re: You know it's almost Pennsic when...
Tue, June 17, 2008 - 5:25 AMPop Tarts are sale at Meijers this week. A box of 12 runs $2.50. Buy two and then you get $2 off a gallon of milk. They even have Pop Tarts with Knock Knock jokes printed on them.
Guess I'm guilty on the stockpiling! -
-
Re: You know it's almost Pennsic when...
Tue, June 17, 2008 - 6:13 AMWe have some of the Knock Knock Pop Tarts at my house. The kids think they're great.
But I don't have to take Pop Tarts this year because two of my campmates (who grew up in a restaurant) are planning to cook full breakfast for us every morning!
Fresh coffee, eggs, pancakes, and bacon! Woo hoo! -

Re: You know it's almost Pennsic when...
Thu, June 19, 2008 - 3:49 PMWho eats pop-tarts for breakfast? I eat them anytime. Snack of the gods.
Or at least get you a little closer to meeting the gods. LOL

Re: You know it's almost Pennsic when...

Re: You know it's almost Pennsic when...
Tue, June 24, 2008 - 3:50 PMWhen people who haven't put on their armor since last August , much less thought about it , show up at fight practice getting mold all over every one else. They usually also act as if it's not a big thing that no one has heard from or seen them in almost 11 months.

Re: You know it's almost Pennsic when...
Tue, June 17, 2008 - 7:27 AMIt's the thinking vs doing: we think about it for about 10 months out of the year...then we work frantically to try and accomplish about 10 percent of it in the month or two before Pennsic.
