I kinda figured you'd want one so I already designed it.

I'll send it to Fitz with the other(s).

Me, me, oh, I can't believe they picked me! I'm so new, the price sticker is still on my ... foot. Can't wait for Mooseburger Camp and all the clown friends I haven't met yet!

Princess, Did you get my address? I mailed it via personal message last week. I am getting so excited about coming to camp. I am anxiously waiting to hear from Priscilla. Is it best to wait to sign up for classes until after my conversation with her? I still have to get some HoBo clothes. It will be great meeting my forum friends.

Dancin' Dot, your button is on its way

So far I have at least six buttons to send to Fitz! DJ, did I make you a button yet?

I just heard from my Moose Camp roommate who had her phone discussion with Trish today. She said that they figured out her class schedule during the talk and that there would be a print-out of her choices in her room when she arrives.

I'm so excited I can hardly stand it!!!! I guess I'll go work on my hobo outfit to calm down.

Princess, you did make DJ a button, I have it sitting on my dresser, I am going to have to search my bags for my button tomorrow, though.

Dancin' Dot, it is definately a good idea to talk to Tricia, but have some ideas of what you would like to do before you talk to her, so you can ask some questions that will help you make your decisions. Since you have never been to Moose Camp, you will be taking Clowning 101 in the morning, and you will be able to pick your own afternoon classes. Clowning 101 is a course that Tricia and Mark teach, and nearly all first time Moose Campers are required to take that course.

As far as Hobo clothes, just take some old clothes, and put them in a 5-gallon pail with a bunch of sharp rocks, and some dirt and a little water, and shake it or roll it around for a little while, or put them on your driveway and drive over them a few times, and/or hang them outside so they get weathered. Or you could go to the Good Will and get some really ugly, old clothes.

If anyone wants us to bring anything specific, as far as merchandise, let us know ASAP. If there is anything we have to order, we have to order it tomorrow (or Monday at the VERY latest) for it to be here before we leave for Moose Camp.

If any of you have any old magic props that you bought and never used cuz you couldn't figure out what to do with it, bring it with you, or if it is too big bring lots of pictures of it, and we will try and help you with it. With about 20 staff, and 95 campers, somebody oughta be able to figure out something to do with it.

I look foward to seeing you all there!!!

Although you were posting to Dancin Dot, your suggestions were great for me, too, as a first time Moosecamper. The prop swap sounds great, although I won't have anything to contribute. Perhaps I can learn something from attending and hearing suggestions! In fact, I suspect I can learn something from everyone and everything - at least, that's the plan!

So that is what you think of my wardrobe!

I love the pins!! They came today. They are so nice. Thank you so much. I said to my Hubby, "Now, I am a REAL clown!!" I am so excited about Clown Camp and having a fun time with everyone.
Have a great weekend.

I'm also unable to access the Mooseburger website. I do know that when I spoke with them by telephone on Friday, July 11 they said that their computers have been down and were still down, but they anticipated them being up later that afternoon. However, they were to email me the forms for camp, and it didn't happen, so I'm going to call again tomorrow. Perhaps the whole website and computer system is down...
