February 2011 Battle for Texas

I'm game. Count me in. It sounds like a hole lot of fun. Spread the word everyone, and post a reply so that we can get a general idea of how many people will show. We don't want to run out of food.

Get a concrete date so I can request off, and the sooner we start announing this nationally the better turn out we will have. I will bring several cases of water for sure and will volenteer for weapons check and some heralding. Depending on what happens in the next couple of weeks I may make a PD weapon for a tournament prize, and I am sure that Milo will do the same.
This could do good things for our numbers, I think it will be important to enforce garb rules for this as well.
Are we looking to maybe fighting in a different area incase we get a large enough turnout?

Izec, you get my PM about the foam?

26th of Feburary. Not sure what time.

We should make it relatively early so that the people driving 4+ hours are getting their time's wrth in fighting. Something like 11. Also, as soon as we have all the details, post something on the national boards.

i'd totaly be willing to make a tourny prize, plus gorbag and karina from guilder are already planning on coming down to visit that weekend, so this is perfect timing...

What are we doing for event tags? You making a post on the national boards?

The day event Milo and I went to the other weekend had 25-30 at peak, just to give you an idea of what the turnout can be like.

i'm going to shoot all this info to my boys in thangordrim...hopefully we can get a bunch of them out here for this as well

Oh man! I'm getting exited!!!! Wow that sounded kinda creepy.

i'm thinking of making a PDed dagger/shorty sword as a prize...does grimsword have an "official" symbol, or should i go with the skull & horns...?

we need to come up with a kick ass name for this event...

Biggest, Alaska don't count. It's mostly ice.

Izec wrote:and polar bear shit. Agreed. Texas is the biggest state in the union. So let it be written, so let it be done!!

BTW, I just created a facebook profile for Grim Sword. Yes, I am being drug kicking and screaming into the 2000s.

*Like*

I 2nd that *Like*

i second the second like, but not the first one...

also, when you put it like that izec, i don't think we need to change the name...

Izec, I snagged some steel and brass tags to use for event tags. Want me to give them to you when they come in so that you get something engraved on them to hand out to our attendees?
I bet an etching of Texas with an 11 in it would be a good logo for them. What do you think?

The Texas leather cutouts would probably be a lot easier, and then I could hang on to these for something else. Your call.

*nonsense that was deleted*

Seeing those tags make me wish I could go!

But looks like it will be around May or June before I can come play in your reindeer games!
