Texas Siftup Imminent?
Just might be. Conversations about a Texas siftup have been going on for a while now so why delay it any longer?
So this sift talk here is designed to get the ball rolling. I'm unofficially taking the reigns for organizing this event.
So lets get a discussion going.
Who is interested in attending?
Likely places and times?
Texas Renaissance Festival is on the board.
I'll start the date debate with Oct 13th. Why? Just because I like the sound of it.
Anyway anyone who would like to come of course will be invited (you don't have to be from Texas) and alternative dates are up for discussion.

chingaleraI'll come-Any date is good for me....
kulpimswill you be carrying guns?
ctrlaltbleachActually we only carry when were planning on using them. So that depends... if any of you poor miserable non-Texan sifters can make it.

will you be carrying guns?

I don't have a concealed carry...Get one and you are subject to even more heinous fines and infractions should you break other laws (pot smoking) whilst so licensed.
You can still legally carry in Texas, a fully-loaded long-arm of any kind not ban-listed, down the street in public. Also, gun racks are still legal, and you can carry shotguns and rifles in your vehicle anytime, as long as yer not a felon or under a restraining order.
Would anyone LIKE me to bring some guns??
jonnyTexas is big... whereabouts are you planning on holding this shindig?
ctrlaltbleachFor now it looks like Texas Renaissance Festival>> ^jonny:

jonnyyeah, I got that... I meant what city or thereabouts. I see now from their website it's well north of Houston. Anyone interested in being in an actual city, instead of the middle of east bumfuck? No offense - I'm just thinking it might attract a few more people that way. >> ^ctrlaltbleach:

bareboards2What about West Bumfuck? I hear it is lovely in October...
What about Carthage? Watch the movie Bernie first and keep your eye peeled for the locals featured in it! Almost as fun as the Renaissance Faire. Texas folks are highly entertaining. (GREAT movie, Bernie.)
If the time was moved to early November, I might even come. I have a family reunion in Oklahoma the first weekend in November. I can fly home from Dallas as well as I can from Oklahoma City.
chingaleraThe Texas Renaissance Festival in in Montgomery county just north of Magnolia, Tx. in Todd Mission,Tx. (mapfart) -It's touted by organizers to be the biggest such event in the country...Lotta fun, great place for the whole family, plenty to do and see and EAT!
3 sifters are in Dallas, the only other I know besides myself lives not too far from Houston, where I'm at...
Anywhere we hold it it's gonna mean some driving.
I suggested this place:
http://www.firstmondaycanton.com/
Thursday through Sunday before the first Monday of every month in Canton, Texas this massive outdoor flea market and trade fair rocks about 10 acres of all kinds of coolness.....Bring a couple hundred bucks and come home with plenty of great stuff!!
Or just pay admission and stroll and check out everything, food vendors galore, stuff to do....
Renfest rocks and you can stay all day and night, and there's massive brews, music, dancing, staged-events...great costumes, plenty of comic-con-type costumes, some extremely elaborate and well-made. Always a winner, Renfest.
Or we could do one of those trough buffets like a Golden Corral and crash the place and build a drunken mountain outta mac n cheese and chicken tendorz.....$12.95 to get thrown out of a Golden Corral??? Priceless.
ctrlaltbleachWell I have to scratch Oct. 13th so well have to come up with a different date.
Any suggestions?
