IIRC, it's QEI, the Armada Portrait. But that's off the top of my head at the office with none of my reference books at hand.

Specific guilds, groups, and troupes that perform at RPFS have their own schedules of meetings and rehearsals. I can speak specifically for the Co... read more discussion post on Tue, October 13, 2009 - 7:49 AM
Re: NCRF

The Concert Series was handled very well. The only on-site advertising of it was by the entrance to the Tournament Arena, where the concerts take place. If one did not have a valid camping pass, they were ushered out of a gate directly to the park...

My So-Called Blog
I've decided to pare tribe back to pretty much bare minimum due to the chronic stability issues and not rumors of its demise. I value this site too much to totally be rid of it.

However, this will be my last blog here. If I decide to blog elsewhere, I will, if not, I have 350 pages of a word file in my work machine to add to as the exercise has proven to be cathartic. As far as backups of tribes here, I have Yahoo! groups and have been there for many years. I have MySpace (under this ... read more
My weekend started Friday with a day off work. I slept as late as possible; did some computer stuff; got started on my and my sister's T-Shirts for the upcoming Soccer season; hit BevMo for beverages for practice; knitted; washed towels; and got started on my niece's new bloomers. Friday evening we had a dinner of appetizers and desserts at Bourbon Street while the Dixiedelics played.

Maggie (Creator of the Compendium of Common Knowledge) posted this in her blog and referenced it on the History Snobs tribe. It might be an interesting character building exercise, though I don't know how much of it will apply to the common folk.

It was signed by pretty much the entire staff, contained a paw-print card and a copy of a poem called The Rainbow Bridge. I peeked in it before Russ and told him about it and he asked me, "You know where the Rainbow Bridge goes to, don't you?" I immediately said "Valhalla". Though the poem tells of a different place. Needless to say, we cried. It was sweet of the Vet's office to do that, but sad all the same. read more
