[MR] Fwd: Want more people at your event?

[Bambi TBNL]

I remember a crown tourney, years ago wher i advertised a post revel afterwards.. I dont rember how many people stayed over but at some point in yhe am i do remember  finding four handsome men in my kitchen washing dishes and making coffee and talking about road conditions. I do believe that as hostess i was the most fortunate of all to have had all these people( oh there wer more that night) staying  in my home. I will admit though, thar was in the neighborhoood of 14 years ago. SOME of us are a lot older. Old war wound and fine living have caught up with us to the point where a bed roll on the floor or couch will only work if there is winch and a crew to operate it to get us up in the morning. I believe a lot of the crashspace customes fell into disuse because of this and because those of us who had to downsize due to the economy, empty nest, etc, find it hard to get things rolling again. I now live in a house with 2 bathrooms ,2 guest rooms (3 if you want to sleep with the
  cat), and a couch in the living room. There is no central air condiitioning, the doors dont close completley because the house is very old and they dont fit the door jams anymore, and there is no usable basement or parking.
oh wait. That's a lot like a summer camping event.event!!! Come on down!!!!-----Original Message-----

Still unsure of the courtesies and traditions involved in this? See  
this file in the NEWCOMERS section of the Florilegium, I recently added:
crash-space-msg (22K) 10/25/09 'crash-space etiquette' for both the  
traveler and the crash-space provider.
