Anyone still here?

topic posted Wed, August 2, 2006 - 6:26 AM by  Groomporter
No activity since January and MNRF less than a month away?

On the lease: The official word is the lease is still good until after the 2007 season and that negotiations are in the works to renew it.

    Oh yeah we are still here, at least I think most of us are.

    I have heard over and over from people this year...."things have really changed I just can't seem to get excited about RenFest this time"

    Wonder what it is....been feeling it a little myself!!

    I haven't been here long enough to be here "still" - but I'm here. Does that count?

      Here? Where is here? I am in Israel, have been for the summer. What a wild, strange trip it's been.

      I will only be at fest later in the season. But I'm "here" on tribe.

      My tribe site is the blog / photo space for my Israel trip: people.tribe.net/rainbow_watcher

        I'd love to spend some time in Israel. It's been something I've wanted to do since my high school days.
        Where have you been staying?

          I was in Tzfat (Tsfat, Sefad, Safed, Tzefat, Tsefat... many other spellings for all I know) from June 1 until mid-July. I would still be in Tzfat, but I'm allergic to Hezbollah-fired ketyushas (or probably any other form, for that matter) and didn't want to spend the rest of the summer bouncing in and out of a bomb shelter, so I've relocated to Jerusalem. I've traveled around, too--fortunately did some interesting things in the north before the violence erupted. Check my blog and photo album here on Tribe for more info and for pix.

          It's been great.

    Well, we got the leaves swept out of the booth Sunday and everything in the storage shed dusted off/wiped down. Killed three wasp nests (one sting), got the canvas roof up, and I filled in the hole under the bricks where the ground squirrels have been undermining the floor again. Next weekend it's schlepping a few things out that we don't store there during the year, putting the shade fly up out back, hanging the shop sign and a few other details.

    tic-tic-tic...

    I'm here. But just got this message today. Go figure.
    I also heard directly from a "very close" source, who says the lease expires AFTER the 2007 season, but that "they" are constantly negotiating to do somthing. The only problem, a I see it, is that the quarry stilll wants the rock BENEATH the festival site. It's all business.

    As for me, I have decided to NOT be out there this year. I was offered a contract, but decided to not pursue it this year.
    Ya'll have fun.

    Still here? I was never here (although Kilroy was, being pursued by Dennis DeYoung with a portable keyboard).

      i'm still here. I'm filling everything i hear about fest under rumor for now.

      Scotty, sorry to hear that you will not be out there this year.

      Many things have changed. front gate show comes from a different direction now. Val tennis has changed some of thier jokes and many new performers.
