If you are attending the Spoutwood Fairy Festival, be sure to drop by Giovanna Adams booth at 2:00 PM -- there will be a merry meet there every day of the festival! I can't promise to be there unless I'm assured of a ride (I really need to find some sort of inexpensive personal transportation for long distances!), but there's always the possibility...

Those who Do attend -- please report on the merry meet, who showed up, what was discussed, for all those who couldn't get there...

Okay -- only one comment on the last Blogpost... so I'm going to stick my neck out and just 'go for it!"

THERE WILL BE A PENNSYLVANIA ENCHANTED FOLK MERRY MEET IN WILKES-BARRE, PA ON APRIL 19th, 2009, AT THE BARNES & NOBLE BOOKSTORE COFFEE SHOP LOCATED AT  3 SOUTH MAIN STREET, AND IN THE NEARBY PARK ON THE PUBLIC SQUARE. MEET STARTS AT 1:00 PM.

I don't expect everyone to show up, but if you are in the area, please do stop by, say hi, share some conversation, and just enjoy yourselves!

I'm thinking, "Let's keep this one simple!" So how about just meeting up at a coffee shop for conversation, sharing of current projects, and some planning for the following Merry Meet? I'd like for the site to be centrally located, and checking the map of the state says that would be in the State College area. Anyone from that part of the state willing to step up and find a venue where we could meet? And how about a consensus of date and time from the membership? Post in this thread, please -- that way, all the discussion and eventual final plans will be in one place...

The second Faeriecon International will be held in Philadelphia on October 10th, 11th, and 12th of this year, and since it is so well attended (Over 7000 people last year), I'm thinking this might well be a great place to hold a Merry Meet for members of Enchanted Folk. My plans are to attend FaerieCon carrying a sign with the EF Logo and lettering to the effect of "Enchanted Folk Merry Meet -- HERE!!!" in order to find other members of Enchanted Folk at the Con... so be on the lookout for me! Then we can walkabout and gather more and more until we're a romp of Trooping Fae! (Grin!)

From the post by Be on the Enchanted Folk Front Page:

"EF Merry Meets - FAEspace in your place...
One of our greatest wishes when we began this site last summer, was for us all to be able to get out from behind our computers & link up in person, even if it was just a congregation of two! We are delighted to encourage EF Merry Meets all over the world, just low cost little meet ups in a coffee shop, library or maybe at a local gallery - creating real life communities.
We warmly support these social ventures & maybe a group/forum could be started for sharing photos & so on. There is an Invite facility on everyone's EF Hubs through the Calendar, where you can ‘Create an Event' page to help spread the word if you wished - these are then private to members of EF.
The main inspiration is for informal, spontaneous, happy get-togethers where we are sure magic will happen... looking forward to meeting more of you soon & hearing about your EF adventures."

Okay, you Pennsylvanian Enchanted Folk -- That's what this group is all about. Let's plan some meet-ups and get to know each other in "Real Life"!
