How many of you are reenactors?

thanks. I really need to get to 100.

Now you have to really buggy and get to 500 to advance to Black Freedom Fighter.

:I don't mean to interupt the rather interesting conversation already going on, but I thought I'd add my thoughts to the first question asked:
I went to the 145th anniversary of 1st Manassas this past July(I think). Besides that, I've been to about 12 other reenactments over the past year. My family is part of the 1st MD Battalion, CSA (which we will soon be leaving).

Oh so you are leaving that group? I didn't know that.

Yep, we're leaving the group. Found another one that is much more suited to my family. :-)

Great! I'm glad to know you won't have to deal with the stuff anymore!

Me too...this past event, Cedar Creek, was pretty bad. Thus the reason I did not stay around camp unless it was absolutely necessary.

was it that bad?

Aye, General, it was that bad.

when it comes to farbs, who's usually worse, the rebs or the yanks?

without a doubt, I can say it is the yanks.

of course

Now guys that wasn't nice. I've seen some pretty farby rebs too.....

All the rebs I have seen nearly accosted me.

Really? What'd you mean "accosted"?

Run out of town, stoned, car burned, hanged from a sour apple tree.

But you're not Jeff Davis

Jeff didn't get hanged. He just got thrown in prison. But, if I was Sherman....

Thats not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the song. Theres a line in a song that goes "and we'll hang Jeff Davis in a sour apple tree..."

In the famous words of Darth vader: NOOOOOO!!!!!! Anyways, I wore union blue to Fredricksburg. Only thing is, I got to Lee's defenses at the Stonewall, or, at least ten yards away. Hahahahaha! Beat that Burnside.

Ha! Good line IBG. "Beat that Burnside!"

love it.

Yes it was.
