Mudfest 2006 will be held in Manassas, VA next year. I'm starting the planning now so that we will all be well informed and everyone can make the necessary plans. I have not yet set a date, but it will probably be around the usual end-of-July-to-beginning-of-August-weekend date.

I am going to -try- to plan the event around one of the areas MANY renaissance festivals. And for those of you who don't know, we are < 30 miles west of D.C. so there is a shitload of stuff to do here.

Our house is 3 levels, plenty of space if you want to save money and bring a sleeping bag. There is also a huge hotel right across the street from our neighborhood (about a mile away… probably less than… definite staggering distance) for those who wish a more intimate nighttime setting. Our house has two decks for the smokers (no smoking inside). Drinking will be definite, so no one under 21 will be allowed, as usual. We have tennis courts, but drunken tennis will be discouraged after 10pm.

We have a Big Green Egg (a bbq/smoker) and will cook for everyone for a nominal fee.

Questions, comments, threats, complaints?!

hmmm assuming i get the money together i would love to go. I'll be 21 at the end of June! :-D

Nothing is making me repost to correct what he considers to be an error. I said the hotel is within staggering distance… its about a 20 minute walk which equates to about an hour's stagger. So, now you are properly informed. :P

VA = Reverie which entails me being there. I'll most likely show up, if she does. >.<

I'm sure I can make this one. :P :D

I will not show up because I do not like Green Egg.

You must like Green Eggs and Ham! You must eat them, Merr-I-am! You must eat them in your ass! You must eat them with the tarrasque! You will eat Green Eggs and Ham! You will eat them Merr-I-am!

You know that I'll be there.

Um…WTF i was just seeing you guys in MS only a couple of months ago!?!

I guess this means you've moved away from back-water-ville that is Mississippi. O well, if its closer to july than later in august like it was this year i might be able to make it.

I'll have to drag the wifey with me. I've never really been out that way before.

hmm… 875 miles equals about a 15 hour drive. Any airports within pick-up or taxi distance?

dream

Dulles International, Regan National, and Baltimore-Washington International are all pretty close, I'd be willing to pick you up from any. Dulles is closest and preferable though :)

Nothing and I are willing to pick up people from Dulles and Narc has offered for all three airports (Narc's Taxi Service is greatly appreciated in this offer).

-Nev

I'm not all that generous. You can get to the other two by metro ;)

If i have a fake ID that says im 21, does that work?

For what it's worth, I live in the boonies, which is actually only about 45 minutes away from Mudfest. Maybe we could do a "minor's day" thing at my place. The house is small, so we'd have to do some grilling stuff outside, and we'd basically have to camp out in the yard. But, the the yardage is pretty big. There is nobody nearby so you don't have to worry about noise problems and whatnot. Although it would be a manditory and enforced over-nighter for anybody who came because I'm not going to be responsible for something that happens down the highway, which in this state I can be :p

Rahvin aren't you like 16?

Since this mudfest is alot closer to the homefront i would love to come….but i have just learned that im gonna be a daddy and i cant be comming and leaving all that behind so soon….sorry wont be able to make it this year

Kakarot aren't you like 16?

Im 21 there slick

Yeah I just thought I'd mimic Trust's post and be funny.

VA… which state is that? My american geography is a little less than stellar =/

It's the state south of Washington D.C.

As always, I'm there.

Remind me to bring stuff for plaster masks.

<— Master of drunken tennis. I'm like a the drunked-kung-fu master only on the tennis court.

VA is the only state in the USA that starts with a V. I think?

Vermont

…

OMG! You're EARLY for a mudfest in VA! Wait until 2008! I'll be over in Virginia then! I'm coming back for my highschool reunion! NOT YET NEVERMORE! The US of A is so far away! EGAD!

Or plan to have another one then.

omgwtftennis!?

Can anyone say condom-water-balloon fight?

Reptile better show up or I don't know what I'm going to do for breakfast.

you know guys some of the old schoolers might remember me but … if all goes well i do want to give it a try. Now that i work full time and make enough money to travel. From the posts it seem to be all of the old players that i know and expereinced many years with.

-mina

The more the merrier :)

I'm hoping to make this one.

I'd volunteer to be on the breakfast making team if I could be positive that I won't be passed out or tied to a tree somewhere. Though I think us girls should make the boys wait on us hand and foot, what do you think Never?

Woo, BBQ, water condom fights, staggering old schoolers, and plaster masks! Sounds like a blast. Its real good to see this start out so early, that gives me a chance to get a baby sitter :) Don't worry Kak, I am also 21 with a lil girl. Congrats man. Can't wait to meet Tinker irl! I'm sure he will be dressed pretty. As for the men… we should wait on the girls hand and foot as long as they serve the beers in bikinis after getting hit by the water condoms. With all joking aside, mudfest is kind of close this year so I will make an appreance if I can get my friend to come too.

Hail Mudfest 06"

Hrm, wonder how far Vermont is from Texas… might have to drag Wolfsbane to this one… Who knows!

We're both 21, so count us in on drunk tennis. Pwn.

-Tanin/Aconite

uh tanin, VA= virginia, not vermont… as for me, im in maryland, so i should be able to make it no sweat

Whatever, I hated Geography :P

Bah….i'm 16…………………………..and CANADIAN!!! guess there's no chance for me…..

Oooh, I might actually be able to make it, depending on when it is :-)

Well, I have never been to a mudfest, but from all the posts, and joking it sounds like a terrific time. I'm gonna check on plane ticket prices and I'll post a response in a few weeks or mabey a couple of days, I wont be driving, it's too far, and I drove to florida, and back, last winter so I'm good with even going half way. Do I need to bring anything besides myself, some clothes, and myself? I'll see if Perci will come along, unsure if he's up to it, but I don't believe he's ever been south of New York. I really hope to able to do this, hope to see you all there!

Ok, folks.

I've got a date for MudFest this year.

I'll make a new post about it so we are all on the same page.
