Evening of Oct 4th Hagerstown, MD
« on: 2014-04-16, 14:53:08 »
I need some knightly gents for a friend of mine's Lion's Club Big to do Banquet. I believe it is called "Knights for the Blind" or something like that. My friend is the region VP and would love to have us come, have a display, talk to people, dress up, etc. Can anyone help me with this? It would just be an evening say 6-8pm approx. Not sure 100% on all the details. I believe it's like a "social" for all the local Lions groups that raise money for the Blind etc.

I'll have to say "maybe" at this point. I need to look at how the schedule lines up with other things, such as DoK and anything we might be doing that's faire-related.

I think I would be okay for this. It’s a Saturday evening so I can leave after work and even if I return late I’ll still be able to go to MDRF the next day. However if I’m going to ride out there and put on armor I will have to hit somebody SO I’ll pick up another waster and the two of us can do some harnischfechten if nobody else will be able to make it! ;)

Maybe as well, with DoK the following weekend I won't know until closer to that time with getting time off work and such too. :(

Nothing on my calendar as of yet; would need a reminder as we get closer to it as things have a tendency to pop up.  I was in Hagerstown for a couple of weekends a few years back as an extra in an indie zombie flick they were filming at the local movie theatre.  I'm not sure you could even call that a town.  lol

I hung out w/you already Chuck, that's not sweetening the deal.  ;)

I'm kidding of course; I think I'm still good for it.  I put it on my work calendar for now.

This is a shorter drive than going to work lol. Since I'm likely not making Days of Knights, I can probably do this. :)

Sounds like fun. I will see if I can do it. Does hanging out with Chuck require bringing a noose? :)

I don't really feel like doing any combat, but I'll armor up.

Nah, Chuck's a cool guy. Obsessed with goats though...

I'm probably OK to do this as well. Any additional details about the event? Times?

i will get that as well as the directions etc.
the only thing we have to do besides provide the "ambiance" is guard/walk in with my mom's friend who is hosting the event. he's sorta a big shot in the Lion word and a killer nice guy.

thanks guys! it means a lot, plus i get to see everyone hehehe
