Rumballs!!!

[Monkeygirl]

Yeah Karlos... where is the E-dog?  And will he be joining us in Flamingo or you up at my "old" camp?  *sniff
(can you tell yet that I'm feeling a little whiney about your abandoning me?  for Jerry?  even as COOL as he is?... *sigh... is this because you think I ate the verde I saved for you?)
ANYWAY... where is Erndog?  I haven't talked to him since last December, or so.
xoxo MG

King Erndog (pronounced Urn-Dog) is in the process of a job change.  From the Coleman Company to Thule (the roof-rack company).  He's moving from Kansas to Conneticut (thank God! ... sorry LuAnna), and he's most likely very busy.  Erndog does, however, have tickets to TBF and RG.  So, we'll just have to wait and see where he appears.  Erndog still has the VW camper, the twinkly lights, the lava-lamp, the sound-system, etc.  At this point I have no idea wether or not he'll be joining us in Telluride.  We can only hope...

I'm not abandoning you my love.  I'm just heading for the "rail" and exercising my Run-A-Muck autonomy.  It really doesn't matter where each of us sets-up our beds... once in run-A-Muck... always in Run-A-Muck!

I'm over the Chili Verde thing... just give me my button and beer-mug back!


Here's a picture of "The Erndog" festivating at Rum-Balls! 2004

Ahhh.... I LOVE Erndog!!  The purple shirt?  Not so much... 

You know... now that I think about it Karl, by definition, we Run-A-Muck'ers are duty-bound to do just that... Run-A-Muck (or "amok"... such as it is)!  So I guess you running for the "rail" and my nesting with the Flamingo's is just that... right?!

OK... I have a smile back on my little Run-A-Muck face now.  I think we need a "secret handshake" to identify the "core members" of RAM, forever and always!

Love You Too!!

(maybe I should pitch a little pup tent up by you and the Hippie... that way when you and I go on our late-night walkabouts, a tradition I assume we'll continue, I'll have a place to crash!)

So is there some sort of formal initiation process into any of these campsites? For example, say "someone (who shall remain nameless...ah heck who am I kidding)" wanted to pitch a tent amongst the camp members of one of these seemingly elaborate and well established campsites, what kind of hazing activities should that girl from maine, ahem, I mean "someone" anticipate??

Maybe there should a be a ritual "de-flowering" of the TPVL's (Town Park Virgin Listavarians)... I'm sure there are a few people on this list that are creative enough to think of an appropriate ceremony!

Aside from that, perhaps you could put out an RFDP (Request For Dowery Proposal)... the camp that offers the most perks gets the Maineahhh!  (th'bastiids!)

Don't worry Sarah... we'll be gentle.

We might just get you drunk.

Born to organize, maybe once LuAnna checks in the buttons could have the listivarian name.  I always wonder who I've been talking to?  Mystery can be fun but so can the reveal.  What about a listavarian greeting - like the vulcan sign that I can never seem to do.   Can anyone imitate one of the little smileys? ' ',    or  ', ; I think that would take Rhonnie to figure out how to explain it.  I love the instructions to prepping for Telluride.  Or maybe the listavarians should all get a daisy for their hat.',  You know I love a reason to costume.  There there's always  ',

Official Dowry Proposal: (ahhhhhemmmm . . .)

1. Thou campmates shall laugh at all my jokes (regardless of how drunk I am or how rediculous they may seem).

2. Thou campmates shall gently introduce this virgin tellurider into the magic of telluride festivarianism!

3. Thou campmates shall bask in the beauty this life has to offer; especially in the magical energy of a town called Telluride!

4. Thou campmates shall take on the responsibility of monitoring this festivarian's first ever "toe job" experience.

5. Thou campmates will agree to try as hard as they can to convince this mainer to return to TBF for many years to come (c'mon, this can't be that hard).

6. Thou campmates shall take a vow to clasp hands at least three times during the four days of festival and thank the divine energy of the universe for bringing together such beautiful people!

7. Thou campmates shall promise to live every moment of TBF 2007 to the very fullest, and never give up the opportunity to make friends with a stranger.

8. Thou campmates shall remember this post, and state: "were you drunk or something?" when reciting it.

9. Thou campmates shall share a passion for heart grasping music, such that it changes you for the better each time you listen to it.

10. Thou campmates shall say to me, quite frankly: "you should have stopped at
 "toe job experience".

any takers???

You can cross off number 5, cause you WILL want to come back.... again and again and again!

[Hippie]

O heck just skip the freaking handsaake and head straight for the GREAT BIG HUG. There are always a few extra bunks up on the rail with the Town Hall/Balcony House/Run a Muck crew. You might even get to sleep by yourself, but then what fun is that?

   I just wanted to say cheers to rumballs.  That's it, cheers to rumballs.  I see it, in my minds eye, I walk around the corner by Tropical Tuesday Steamboat village to see the gathering mass collected just past the Tiki Bar - all hail - yeah! All hail.

I think a full-body imerssion at the Falls should be a newbie initiation... with the rest of us joining-in!
Nice Official Dowry Proposal post Maineahh... You're gonna be fun to play with
