Hi Everybody,
At Rich's suggestion (and a good one too) I'd like to introduce myself and my wife, Cherie'. This will be our second Gathering (we attended last year's). We're from Fredericksburg, VA... an area rich in Revolutionary and Civil War history.
We enjoyed last year's Gathering so much, there is no way we plan on missing one again. The scenery is wonderful and the friendships we made in just those four days was icing on the cake.
I'll be attending this year's event in period longhunter attire with all the bells and whistles. Cherie' will also be getting in on the act as she has a buckskin dress she'll be wearing on occasion.
We're looking forward to seeing the familiar faces as well as new ones. For those of you coming for the first time, you're in for a real treat.
Best Regards,
Marc and Cherie'

I guess I'll jump in too. I'm from Alaska, and this will be my third gathering. I attended the first and the fourth. The gatherings have been experiences unlike anything else in my life. The fact that so many people who didn't know each other would come together for a few days of fun and frolic, and to watch our favorite movie is amazing to me. We thought we could never surpass the experience of the first one, but it seems that each year is different and just as wonderful as the first.
I'm looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones.
Chris
BTW, I'm bringing a basket of Alaskan goodies for the raffle. Check it out.

Hey Marc and Cherie,
You're from Fredericksburg? Omigod! I'm from Orange. I didn't expect to meet near-neighbors at this thing. Small world, huh? 
Anyway, this is my first gathering and I'm a little nervous about all the traveling from place to place. I'm not even sure where I'm staying except for the night before Chimney Rock. For the rafting, I'd like to find a place to stay closer to Erwin so I won't have to drive as far in the morning. I may wind up camping as I have kind of limited finances. Does anyone know when the dinner/concert at Spirits will be ending? If it's not too late, I may just drive to Erwin that night.
Thanks in advance for any advice,
Pat

Hi Yogi,
Yes, we're just down the road! We were also surprised by the number of people from VA and Southern MD. We're looking forward to meeting all of the locals.
C'ya there,

2002 will be the third Gathering for the MacLeod and I...don't know what it is about this group, but we just keep coming back for more! More 50 mile hikes...all uphill... 100 mile drives on one lane mountain roads at 4:00 a.m....dodging popcorn and laser pointers in movie theaters...getting constant inquiries about one's religion (for some reason, 1750s dress is interpreted in North Carolina as being "Amish"!). And that's in our free time! There's that 8 month period before the Gathering of whining, pleading and crying (or as we lawyers prefer to call it, "negotiating")with assorted entertainers, managers and other purveyors of services to get things all set up for the Mohicanland invasion...
But in all seriousness, we go each year because it is so dang much fun! We get to indulge in our passion for wearing 1750s garb (and the MacLeod can parade about with armament without worrying that the terrorist squad will be called! Heck, this year there will be no living with him as he will not only get to carry the weapons, he will get to FIRE them as well!). We get to see places and see performers that we only dream about in our everyday Floridian lives. And the people are fantastic...I can honestly say that I never met a Mohicanlander that I didn't like.
As for personal information, we are both Floridians...I'm a native; he hails from New York originally. He is a program manager by trade; I am an attorney. We have a daughter, Logan, who is currently a sophmore in college. In our spare time he does leather work and shoots with the Central Florida Muzzleloaders; I make costumes for various theatrical companies and reenactment groups and raise all sorts of organic vegetables and herbs in our back yard. Personal goals? The MacLeod: "World peace". Lady Ann: "Getting Doc Mary, The Great and Terrible Lainey, and I in the same room together and seeing if the world will ever be the same."
See you all soon!

Hello, All,
My name is Diane Bunch, a.k.a. Rattlesnake Woman. I'm yet another first-time Gatherer, and I also come from the state of Virginia (Chesapeake, VA to be exact - a little west of the big resort city of Virginia Beach). I'm really looking forward to attending and meeting everyone. My husband, Al has now decided to make the trip with me, although he has only a limited interest in the goings-on of the Gathering. He did say he'd like to get in on the Nolichucky trip, and take part in some of the hikes during the last two days, but that's about it. Probably for the best - I'd just embarass him if he came to the movie, what with me swooning over DDL and all. (Rich, please note: tried to insert a Smilie here, without success!)
A little bit about myself: I am an administrative assistant with a not-for-profit organization called Eggleston Services. They offer education, training and employment opportunities to persons with disabilities. That's a pretty worth-while thing, considering that unemployment for persons with disabilites runs about 70%. Anyway, I've been with the company for about 16 months now and I really love it.
I have two wonderful sisters, and we just lost our baby sister to cancer a little over one month ago. I have a 7-year-old Tonkinese cat named Jade and I just love her to death - she is my heart! The apple of my husband's eye is his 12-year-old Boxer, Bud.
As for my hobbies, I love to go camping and hiking, especially in the mountains. I've spent a lot of time fishing over the years and just two weeks ago, I caught my first rainbow trout! In the mid-70's, my first husband & I were the caretakers on Monkey Island, a small island that sits out in the middle of the Currituck Sound in northeastern NC. Long ago, before the hunting lodge & caretaker's cottage were built, the Pamunkey Indians used the island as a summer home, and they also had a burial mound on the north end of the island (long since eroded away).
My best buddy is a wildlife biologist & he's currently in charge of conducting a study about the life cycle & ecology of canebrake rattlesnakes. This is the only species of rattlesnake native to the state of Virginia (they're called timber rattlesnakes in the western part of the state), and they are endangered in this state. We've spent many happy hours together out in the Swamp: sweating, slapping mosquitoes, climbing over treefalls, and collecting and tracking the rattlesnakes in the study (at least now you know where my nickname comes from!). I also love to go to pow-wows and getting to know the Indians that are regulars at these events. I spend a lot of time on the computer, as well - particularly at this website! And last but certainly not least, my favorite movie of all time is LOTM!
There, Rich - aren't you sorry you asked now?! A little too much information, maybe???! Anyway, I do look forward to meeting everyone at the Gathering. See you in June!
Regards,
Rattlesnake Woman

Hi Diane,
I think it's great that you're trying to save the Virginia rattlesnake. I've come across timber rattlers several times during my frequent hikes in the Blue Ridge. I've always considered rattlesnakes the gentlemen of the snake world since they have the courtesy to warn you before you step on them. 
My own favorite critter of the mountains is the black bear. I've come across dozens of them over the years, most recently a big female with three rowdy cubs, and I'm always awestruck to be in the presence of one of the last large predators left in the eastern USA. Yogi (my Aussie-mix) whom you'll all be meeting at Chimney Rock, is less impressed. He thinks all bears should be chased up trees. So far, the bears have been tolerant and haven't pointed out that he's only one-third their size. (He has delusions of being a wolf).
Anyway, sounds like this is going to be an interesting group and chock full of Virginians. LONG LIVE THE BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS!!

Since you asked...We are the Williams from Alabama, Claude and Theresa. This will be our second Gathering and we are SO looking forward to it. (Diane, tell your husband he will have a great time!)
Claude recently changed jobs (smart move on his part) and now works for a company that deals with water treatment plants, well digging, etc. Loves it! I work as a teacher's aide at our 5th and 6th grade school in the library and I also work with kids that need a little extra push and incentive. Very rewarding. We have two adult children, one is married and the other is about to finish college. We have spent the past several years traveling all over the place to watch our daughter's college softball team. In fact, we went to Salem, Va. twice to the World Series. Nice place you have there Virginians. We have a dog and six cats.
We both enjoy working in our yard, reading, and sports. We are from a very small community whose only claim to fame is Jim Nabors. So if we say "Gomer says 'Hey'", we REALLY mean "Gomer says 'Hey'"! 
Again, we are looking forward to the trek to North Carolina to once again see all the wonderful folks we met last year and we're excited to meet all you new people as well. See you all in just a couple of weeks! YIKES! Better get to packing!

What a wonderful-sounding group. Don't know if I can measure up to all you interesting folks! (But I'll give it a try.)
I'm Jayne (no nick-names, although I'm sure my 16 yr old son has a few for me), and this will be my 3rd gathering. Obviously, they must be a whole lot of fun for me and my sister, Karen, who will also be attending her 3rd! (This year, I'm excited to be the proprietress for Ariel's Cabin - a job superbly handled in the past by the lovely Scottish lass, Kate - a tough act to follow!) I do love the movie; but probably more than the movie, I love the NC mountains. One of my old high school pals lives in Asheville. She took me to Chimney Rock in 1999 and that started the whole crazy LOTM thing for me. I'm a hoosier from Indianapolis, but give me a glimpse of a Blue Ridge Mt. sunrise ANY day over a 500 mile race!
Besides the 16yr old, I have a 22 yr old who lives, goes to U. of A, and works in Arizona. He recently bought a house in Nogales (the US side!). He's an anthropology/biology student and works for the Natl Park Service doing various kinds of surveys. My youngest is a high school sophomore, soon to be junior.
I'm a "retired" pediatric RN, a member of the Sierra Club, a hiker and backpacker, and a "non-traditional, OLDER student" earning a degree in env. geography. I love to garden - especially native IN prairie plants and organic veggie gardening. (Hey, Lady Ann - maybe you can give me some pointers!)
My sister Karen and I will be seeing you all in a couple weeks!
Jayne

Hello All! I'm Karen from Indiana~Jayne's sister. After
reading about everyone else, I decided I lead a pretty boring
life! My husband and I are soon to move from the house we've
lived in for 27 years to a new (to us) home in the hills of
Brown County Indiana. It's as close to the North Carolina
mountains as we can get in Indiana! We move June 26th, so I
have a job ahead of me after the Gathering. You would think I
would chose a relaxing way to spend those few days before the
move! Jayne got me to watch LOTM after her friend took her to
Chimney Rock and I've been hooked ever since. I enjoyed my first
two Gatherings and know I will enjoy this one too. See you all
there! Karen W

Oh, Dear,
I really am "starting member," aren't I? All this time, I thought that TGAT Lainey meant something else altogether - such as "The Gifted and Talented" Lainey, or "The Gorgeous and Talented" Lainey! I realize that Lainey and I have yet to meet, but based on what I know of her so far from this site, I cannot imagine that anyone would think of her as "The Great and Terrible!" Perhaps she should consider changing the definition of TGAT???

Hi all!
My name is Ariel Segal. I am a 25-year old male from Silver Spring, Maryland. I am interested in history, primarily the history of science, but a strong second is colonial history and the period of LOTM. I also love the outdoors, and have been to several national parks.
LOTM is one of the best films of the 1990s. In fact, the new Lord of the Rings film is one of the few that could give it a run for its money.
I was wondering whether any of the Marylanders and/or Virginians could pick me up in the Washington D.C. area, since I do not have a car. I had a ride, but he may not come after all...I can take Greyhound, but this would be easier. I could take the Metro to Northern Virginia...my street address is 11628 LeBaron Terrace, Silver Spring, MD 20902.
Also, if my ride indeed does not come, are there any guys who would like to room with me and split the cost at the Geneva? (We were going to be roommates.)
Best, Ariel.
P.S. Rich, do you have a cellphone number so that we can contact each other if I need to coordinate pickup in Asheville?

Thanks for the good wishes, Caitlin! We love the Brown
County area too~I never really thought I'd get to live
there. Our daughter and her husband live in Bloomington
and we are really looking forward to living closer to them.
We'll miss you at the Gathering!

On a different note, last year my plea fell on deaf ears, but..... is there going to be a pre-gathering chat? I'd love to eavesdrop on that.

Ilse!!!!
TGAT or not TGAT ... that IS the question. How many posts for you TGAT there, you ask? Well, let me count the ways -
1) Post a "favourite" Russell Crowe quote such as the favourite you've posted today TGAT a T. F*ck me swinging!??? Ilse, I used to say my own quotes were my *favourite* (Canadian spelling again!) quotes but .... this one! This ought to be the new Mohicanland motto, don't you agree? {"You the Mann" never did cut it though "You the Maan" has a certain ring to it.} We need to design new t-shirts. I like this Crowe utterance.
2) Post a favourite Russell Crowe pic TGAT a G. Something, oh say, Gladiator like???? Yes, yes ... capital G for that. (Especially if you doctor it a bit & have Mister Gladiator feeding peeled grapes to the Happy Thoughts gifted Huggy Merchant.)
3) Set up an interview with Mister Gladiator TGAT an A. I'll take it from there.
4) I'll get back to you on the T.
Now, Ilse - listen to why I'm TGAT Lainey & not merely an Average Lainey. Got home at 1:00 AM. After carting in a few sleeping children, changing two of them, getting a bottle (for the babe, not me), putting up coffee (yeeeesssss, caffeine is a healthy choice at 1:00 AM), doing a quick head count (1 in DC, 3 missing, 5 in bed, wait ... 2 missing, 1 married), washing some dishes, checking Richfed's pulse, 2 not missing - 2 phone home ... you get the idea - I logged on to the Pissin' Communicator (PC for short) to *see* what lovely things might have occurred in the world. After patiently retrieving 52 messages, 3 of which were virally infected, but safely assassinated, & 48 merely innoculated spam, I opened up Netscape. Ah! Tinker Bell was busy again! Netscape 6 successfully downloaded. BUT ... all my alternate addie mail was obliterated. Gone. Liquidated. Ilse, this means ALL my communique files, including the infamous "Dutch Papers" are vaporized into thin cyber-air! All those thoughtful thoughts .... those delirious dialogues .... 'my precious' (quote from LOTR) accusations ... no longer with us.
(Not to mention my personal hit list ... daaaaammiitt!) Anyway, not discouraged (despite Tinker Bell's dastardly destruction, for which he is indebted to me), I logged on to the home turf here .... and I am promptly greeted with "F*ck me swinging!" Ooooooh la la! What's a TGAT ta tink?

As I was saying, before the pissin' communicator (PC for short) so rudely cut me off with its silly restrictions on verbosity, AND before 1 sleeping child became no longer sleeping, ...
Next I read of a Senatorial Plot for a Lowlands Invasion - if necessary & weather permitting - of which I know nothing about but must now "get up to speed" before replying to my Dutch Ally who seems armed & dangerous ...
Oh, I could go on but are you getting to know me yet???? (Hijacked thread here, I know ...)
And you want a pre-gathering chat so you can eavesdrop?????? Sure! Why not .... Listen up, people! Chat Room ... Dawn .... Encampment .... Be there ..... (Or maybe we'll choose an alternative time? Saturday????)
Moving along here - TGAT a TGAT, one must be totally mad, possess a letter of certification from Doctor Mary, & be in a position to drug Richfed. (BWWWAAAAHAAAAAA! said Doctor Mary.) Or you can protest.
Ooooops! Gotta run TGAT a ....

I concur. What an amazing phenomenon!
For me, each Gathering has brought upon a certain anxiety level, particularly the First [because it was the first - who knew what would happen?] and the second [Eric Schweig was coming - 'nuff said!] and the ... the ... Fifth? Yes, this one.
This one because this one, in so many ways, is much like the first one, with a little bitter pill thrown in!
Just about the entire "organizational" group has turned over and so many familiar faces & personalities will not be here this time, many of whom attended three, or even all four previous editions ... for whatever [& a variety of] reasons many good pals won't be among us this year.
quote:
Ilse, Jo & her Infamous Sweetser Sisters, Marcia, John Harkins, the John Evans Family, The Huggy Merchant, Bill R., Kate, Clabert, Penny & Alma, the Twins, Ayesha & Colin, Emily & Kevin, Caitlin & Jeff, Dar, Sarah M, many more ... if I forgot you, it wasn't on purpose ...
This is not to mention the good board buddies who have never made an in-person appearance, among them Bea, the TowneCrier, and Doc Mary!
However, there are, to be found in the above photo, seven or eight folks, from that very First Gathering, who will be with us this year ... and even more who've gathered on through the years.
Still, this year's event is a very bittersweet one for me.
On the other hand, there are quite a few new folks signed up and I feel I owe it to them, at the very least, to do all I can to make it as memorable for them as I possibly can. Plus, there really are some potential treats in store for this Fifth Gathering that have me licking my chops!
Very mixed feelings!
Two weeks from today ... late at night ... it will be history. Either a good time will have been had by all, or not. My apprehensions about the planning & this particular mix of personalities will be proven true, or false ... Like I said, this won't be the first time I've had similar feelings. To some degree, I've had these feelings every year. Damn, it's so hard being me! 
Regardless, there'll be pics & words on the site to let you all in on how it went. Just remember, folks, it takes every person who attends to make it a memorable experience. This ain't no travel agency or tour group. It's a combined volunteer effort, and each year those who put it together find themselves in a bit of a hole - their pockets a little less deep. Thanks for the monumental effort, guys!
Gee, what an uplifting post! Really, it'll all be fine! Every one has!

Always glad to be of service, you know that. Even better: I can resend you all the stuff if you want? No problemo! Or, to once again quote Crowe, when he was asked to refrain from using the f-word: No wucking forries, mate! Do I hear T already?
Now excuse me, but I urgently need to get the Barbarian Horde ready and in full combat mode. The Hague is in danger. Or maybe a more reasonable approach would be in order. Bring a comfy chair, a crate of beer and plenty of smokes and watch the spectacle unfold, that is. Never liked The Hague much as a city, why would I care if it's obliterated?

Rich, Rich! Take a deep breath and relax. Lainey, quick! Make him breathe into a paper bag. That's better. You know you do this to yourself every year, and every year it turns out great. You cannot be responsible for another person's happiness. You and the other volunteers have put together a wonderful weekend. If anyone comes and doesn't have a good time, it's his/her choice, not your fault.
Now, sit back with a glass of your beverage of choice, and look forward to sharing time with old friends and meeting new ones. It'll be fine. I promise.

Always glad to be of service, you know that. Even better: I can resend you all the stuff if you want? No problemo! Or, to once again quote Crowe, when he was asked to refrain from using the f-word: No wucking forries, mate! Do I hear T already?
Now excuse me, but I urgently need to get the Barbarian Horde ready and in full combat mode. The Hague is in danger. Or maybe a more reasonable approach would be in order. Bring a comfy chair, a crate of beer and plenty of smokes and watch the spectacle unfold, that is. Never liked The Hague much as a city, why would I care if it's obliterated?
Pshaw! Another one!!! If you can resend the "stuff" ... Yes. Yes. I do believe we hear a T! Ilse the T ... (3 to go!)
You'll GET the GAT.
As for the Barbarian Horde; can we buy tickets to this pending event even if we have no wucking forries, mate?

Couldn't I just give him a valium or two? Slip him a mickey? Or tell him to just 'get over it'???
Neurotic postal workers get on my noives!

Oh, snitzy! I'll dig into my picture archives next. Surely I can come up with something totally objectionable. Do I hear an G vaguely in the distance? I'll get back to you on that interview.

Of course, mate! Some enterprising Dutchie is going to make money on this, no doubt, and why should that not be ME?
And another Crowe for your pleasure: It's acting mate. I know it's not rocket science.
