[MR] Crash space - justsayin'

[Made For Willow]

Greetings to the list, 
 
I have followed this missive and wanted to extend an insiders message. I have been active in the SCA almost 15 yrs. Over that time, I have had many Scadians "crash" at my place. I have enjoyed the company, the friendships and meeting new folks. To this very day, there is a list of folks that know any time they are attending events in the Stierbach area...they have a place to stay. I love seeing everyone and enjoy the company, when they come. 
 
There are a few things to keep in mind, when seeking crash space.
 
BE A GOOD GUEST:
- Be sure to communicate your arrival and departure to the host, so they can plan accordingly.
- Assist your host with food/beverage costs, especially if you are there for several meals
- Service is important, at events, as well as at your hosts house...make sure you are the kind of guest that would be welcome back.
- Be tidy and conscientious of their housekeeping standards, be helpful not a burden.
- A happy host, will ask you back over and over again.
- Try to ride share to the event.
 
Now that I have said all that...(grin)...I usually have crash space in the Quantico area, inside and outside. First come first served, we have extra space inside..and enough ground to have tent camping & a fire-pit for a bardic, for some. We live in a private, dirt road country community, behind Quantico. There is a small lake with a little beach..yes, swimming 24/7. Yes,  post event splash is open 24 hrs. 
 
What is wrong with this picture?
I have 3 small dogs, that are NOT small child friendly, and 2 cats. So, those with allergies may not be able to crash with us. I am a neat nick, so the animals are well maintained and so is the house.  I do enjoy company, bardic and the SCA.
 
My crash space fills up fast, but if you need it..please ask. 
 
In service to the dream,
