Re: Perryville on the Farm

Hello All,
Just got my persona today and I will be Lucas Brodhead. This is going to be an awesome event!
I intend to enter my rider in several of the races as well as purchase some fine stock that day for the farm.
Get registered this is going to be a unique experience. We need good horsemen that are able to ride hard in the races.
Your Pard,
Chad Greene

Re: Perryville on the Farm

I have been talking to Mrs. lawson about this event. I might come up on foot for this event. I have been trying to put together a US Marshal impression, but not much luck yet. How are people acquiring their roles? Is there a list or are they researching their own. Not much use for a bugler , except maybe "call to post", which I would have to research when that came into use for horse races.

We got ours from Joni House, so I'd suggest contacting her and/or getting on the Yahoo group to ask. If you need her email address, I can send it. We just asked to be buyers, and she assigned us real-life people, so I think everyone is either a historic person or a fictional person closely connected to real-life ones, but she'd be the one to ask.

Re: Perryville on the Farm

Pete,

Once you have registered. Joni is then giving out personnas. On the registration you can express an interest in something you would like to do.

Let it be known you would like the Marshall position. I am pretty sure we still need one. It is a personna that would give you lots of interaction with most everyone at the sale.


Looking forward to seeing you again.

Re: Perryville on the Farm

Hello All,
The event is coming up and preperations are well under way. I took some time off last week to go play with horses, but I am back and getting things finalized. I will start getting the rest of the personas to everyone next week.
If you are planning to attend and have not registered, and I know that we still have a bunch that are coming and haven't sent in registration, please do so. I need to get a good head count for the burgoo.
Thanks,
Joni

Re: Perryville on the Farm

It is with deep regrets that I must withdraw from the event. If you have seen the posts on the New Hope Church /Pickett's Mill event you know that I was accidentally shot in the stomach at point-blank range with a Colt revolver. I have a cavity about 5 cm in my stomach, and am addressing the inherent drainage of bodily fluids from the wound. The wound care professionals expect about 4-6 weeks of treatment, and will be installing a vacuum pump system today for that length of time. So I will have a dandy "fanny pack" with a pump and resevoir of "fluids" on my hip for at least a month.
I will not be able to event, ride horses, golf, or even cut my 10 acres of overgrown pastures for a while.

With regrets,

Patrick

Re: Perryville on the Farm

Blessing to you Dear One,

Mrs. Simpson and I were on the phone late last night, wondering about your condition. We're pretty well versed in carrying folks around on a silk pillow who need such care, and were trying to figure out a time to call and check on you when it would not interupt your rest--and knowing there were many doing the same thing.

Alas, with this sort of thing 'pillow carrying' won't work--with that sort of invasive medical equipment, the potential for infection and heat problems are too great for you to be spending much time out and about.

We'll save your seat for the next event, and hope your Lovely Lady can come play too.

Re: Perryville on the Farm

My dear Mrs. Lawson,
I am as well as can be expected under the circumstances. I gave thought to doing a "convalescing soldier" impression, but am concerned that exposure to heat, perspiration, dirty clothes, etc., would be ill-advised. And as I told Sivanna yesterday, the proximity of the wound to the "manly region" sort of negates the whole "local ladies taking care of me " scenario, as propriety would have
complicated such a thing for married women of class!

Re: Perryville on the Farm

Take good care of yourself. We'll hope to see you at one of our farm events in the future.

Kind regards,
Emily
