‘Nuff said. Sounds like you may have found a sparing partner better than I. Just goes to show what happens when you go away for a little while. I feel sooooo left out!!!!!!
MVF
Miss Virginia FormerMVF…tried to email you again! It keeps coming back, my bad luck.
Just letting you know me and the kiddos are just coming for the concert, nothing extra special, but hope to meet up with some of our friends the day of the show!
Looking forward to August!
Hey, SciGuy,
Yes, as stated before, the Queen of the Virginie Fanatics will be in attendance. Let’s pool our knowledge of Raleigh, fanaticism of all things Bruuuce, and sarcastic wit (not to mention amazing leadership skills ….. {reminds me of the Pied Piper} …… ) and plan the Meet Up to End All Meet Ups!!!!!
From you’re newest SiB,
MVF
aka Miss Virginia Former
As usual, I am more than happy to offer up my chauffeuring services. And I promise not to lock the keys in the car this time!!! Send me a PM or email letting me know when you will be getting in. Are you driving, busing, or hitch hiking??? I’m still trying to figure out what I’ll be doing after the show. I can drive home (one hour drive), stay with my son and daughter-in-law (ten minute drive, but tends to be awkward), find a really, really cheap hotel to flop in, or try to find someone to split a room with (yeah, right, Dreadlock Dave—in your dreams).
Looks like all the really cool SiBs, BiBs, and KiBs will be there. Oh, I wonder if there will be dancing on stage?????

· 141 Google reviewsSince I AM the only real Virginia fanatic (ask anyone!), we had better get together soon to plan this shindig.
SciGuy,
I sent you some PMs. Not sure if they went through. Let me know.BTW,
Dreadlock Dave, I may have just found a new sparing partner. Haven’t heard from you in a while. I guess that means you have realized that I am the superior Bruce fan:lol:An idea has been tossed around for an Official Raleigh Bruuuce T-shirt. I know we tried this for the Hampton Bay Days concert a couple of years back, but results were limited because the concert was postponed for a year (I still have mine, though). Any thoughts or ideas????

…..Now that feels better! …..On the other hand…..You and I remain the best ‘sparring partners’ ever! Dond ya eva forgit dat!

Still havin’ a ball!

LN, GASi, next time you need to apply the banning stick to Dreadlock Dave, please please please let me do it!!!!!!!
Okay, time to start the Raleigh concert roll call! I’m trying to get together a meet-up before the concert, and it would help to have some numbers. Thanks!!!,
Miss Virginia Former will be there with bells on (but not much else!?!?!?)

More ‘scoop’ to come soon! DD
LL, GAAaaarrrrgggghhhh!!!!!!!
Danger, Will Robinson, danger!
Major conflict! Major conflict!
Have just realized that annual Reveolutionary War Reenactment at the House in the Horseshoe Historic Site will be August 3rd and 4th!!!! And the much-anticipated Raleigh concert is August 3rd!!!! What to do? What to do?
I’ve been an active participant in the battle reenactment for the past eight years now. Technically, I can still participate in the reenactment AND the concert, but that means either I help fight a Revolutionary battle wearing an “I Love Bruce” shirt, or I attend the concert decked out in eighteenth century attire. AND it would mean forgoing the annual Saturday night “battle” party at the war site, which includes playing games of chance, singing bawdy songs, and the liberal application of home-brewed spirits and my all-time favorite, homemade mead. BUT, that also comes real close to describing a concert night with my Bruuuce.com homies, so maybe I’m not missing out on that much.
Hey, maybe that is the answer to my accommodations dilemma. At the battle reenactment, I always spend the night in a pup tent on the grounds. If I get to Carthage early on Friday, pitch my tent, set up camp, help with the battle, clean up in the outdoor cold shower, change, zoom to Raleigh, party hard with my SiBs and BiBs, listen to some righteous tunes, zoom back to Carthage, sneak back into camp, change back into eighteenth-century attire, sleep three hours, get up, and help with the battle again, I just might get away with it. Whatcha think???
No offense to history but seriously I think Bruce in Raleigh beats all! But MVF just in case you need a place to stop by and change before the show, I will have my hotel room already, so your always welcome you know!
Oh, don’t worry. I know where my priorities lie.
Ok, Raleigh meet up. I’m thinking maybe just an old-fashioned picnic at the site. That way, we will already be the, and nobody gets lost looking for some hole in the wall joint. And Treah can bring her special dessert!!!!
But….. I’m open to suggestions.

Oh, yeah, I know just the spot. It’s just that I haven’t seen it in so long, I might not recognize it!!

No problem,Si!
One glass of wine is my limit before a Bruce concert.
. (You may ask MVF,David or Monica-they can verify this.)Maybe I could be the designated driver-wait- that won’t be possible. lol
I’ll be the designated “behavior monitor” instead.
I have plenty of experience; I worked in child day care for many years…Wish you could join us in August.
All in fun,

JackieYou do have a witness! Jackie is always ‘in charge’! There is never a problem when Jackie is the ‘sheriff’!
With Jackie there, MVF will behave! …..All joking aside! I am working on a very special meet-up at the venue! This is a beautiful venue! Don’t touch that dial! More details to follow! Jackie will be ‘in charge’ of ‘behavior monitoring’ and bringing her very special desert! Peaches are ‘in season’!
You never know who might show for this! You don’t want to miss this! You really don’t! …..‘Dad gum it’ (southern expression)!
Iris at the venue will not be open that evening. I tried and was very close to having a private party there! My second choice near the venue, since I use to live there, was…..An establishment that would have suited us very well and sorta describes some of us very well! But….The ‘Barking Cow Pub’ has just recently closed. I know of three other establishments near the venue that would suit us well, but maybe a good ole fashion picnic? Food is allowed, unopened sodas and water are allowed, but beer and wine must be purchased there. There are plenty of ‘green spaces’, in the ‘pastures of plenty’, for that to happen! So…..some ‘feed back’ is called to order! ‘Pastures of Plenty’ or ‘Night on the Town’??? ‘Barking cows’ must respond!!! When the sun is setting and the cows are comin’ home…..
…..Now that feels better!
