Yes! Come to our event! Montana is an awesome place to have an event at. The site has some great wooded areas and nice open fields....streams very close by and you won't see anyone but Belegarth people the whole time. Its pretty secluded which makes events there ~really~ great imo.
For the Herd!

For this moment ALONE was I made. Look upon your death, mortals, and despair!
I am the beginning of the end...the shadow which blots out the sun...the bell which tolls your doom...The final shred of light fades, and with it, your pitiful mortal existence! Through the pain and fire my hatred burns! You have no hope!

No farther than CW was, but I certainly nuderstand, it's pretty far for just a weekender event. If you do want to come, and need some crash space or something, let me know. We'll hook you up!

Actually... it's a lot closer than I realized. :O
We may be able to go if we're both un-lazy and save up the money for the trip!... or, pile enough people into his truck that gas money is irrelevant.

...I need to pester Puck now, and get him to agree to drive us there...

Seeing as how this is a week away and everyone I've talked to isn't going, it's fairly safe to say I can't make it this year.

SO YOU GUYS BETTER TALK MY EAR OFF AFTER <3 I want to know what all I missed so i can have dreams about it and pretend I was there x'D

I love all you crazy kids. Have heaps of fun =O
