1. Sounds like fun.

I wish I lived closer.

2. Perfect time for a trip

:)

And yes, it's LOTS of fun. Music, dancing, amazing food! I only wish there was time and money to do all the pavilions.

4. Wish I had the money.

Callie could bring you one of her pirate hats and a parrot if we could get there.

[GirlinContempt]

6. Wheeeeee!

I could take her on the life-size replica of the Nonsuch and we could play pirate on a REAL OLD TIMEY BOAT!

7. I just showed her the picture.

Now she's begging for a trip!

I think you now have a new best friend and she's a six year old American.

8. Awesome!

Now do you see why I was such a popular nanny? :D

[xmas74]

9. I can see that now.

I still have you on my Yahoo messenger, even though I'm rarely on there. I'll try to remember to have her leave you a voice message on Talk Like a Pirate Day. She's been practicing for it for a time now.

[GirlinContempt]

10. OoooO!

That'd be really cool :D

[xmas74]

11. She's been working on it

but she wants a new pirate name.

We've discussed how, if it falls on a school day, she can talk like a pirate only at recess and lunch. I'm not in the mood to go to the principal's office for that discussion.

She's yelling "Arrr!" as we speak.

12. I think you need a nanny

:D Named Aly :D

[xmas74]

13. If I had a bigger home

you'd be the first person I'd contact. Who knows what she'd drag you to see here so be advised of that.

Right now she's watching Harry and the Hendersons. She wants to know if we can go camping, find a Big Foot and bring him/her home as her new roommate.

[GirlinContempt]

14. Well, keep me in mind

:D

[xmas74]

20. I will.

She'd love sharing all of her pirate booty w/ you.

3. Holy Crap! Has the price ever gone up!

I remember back in the '70s when it first started. You could get a passport (good for all pavilions) for $4. My favourite was always the Mug Pub at the U of M.

[GirlinContempt]

5. Well, everything is more expensive now.

These things happen.

15. Neat

Seems like it'd be fun.

[GirlinContempt]

16. So, come

you owe me a visit, munchkin

17. Sounds much more interesting

than the Heritage Days festival here (similar premise, only over a long weekend). :toast:

The Winnipeg Fringe is over, isn't it?

[GirlinContempt]

18. For this year, yes

But still plenty of festivities to come! :) :hi:

[u4ic]

19. My ex's brother lives in the Peg

and I'm surprised at the number of festivals!

I should just spend one summer there, and take it all in.

Our Fringe Festival is coming up!! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:
Love, love, love the Fringe. The aforementioned ex is in a play, and I'll look at the guide when it comes out to see if I know any more. See if I can bum any more comp tickets... ;-)
