MmM: 11th PA Reserve Adj Update

[pvt_jb]

Men,

The walk-through went very well of the event site yesterday. Even better we are getting everything we ask for by our gracious hosts!

We will have a separate camp of our own Friday night. The best part is on Saturday through Sunday we will recreate the moment in real time of the 11th Penn Reserves at Antietam. So, Saturday night we will be resting on arms with our pickets out in a cornfield. On the other side of that cornfield will be the 4th Texas. This will last till the historic hour that the 11th Penn Reserves were pulled back. We wont be going far however as come Sunday morning we will be hitting the 4th Texas with buck and ball to stop their advance in the cornfield!

Gents, this is going to be a great time with memorable moments. Especially the 12+ hours of real time immersion.

The event is only 1000 men away from being capped out. That means no more can register. GET IN YOUR REGISTRATIONS! If nothing else get in at least your main event registration so you don’t miss out.

Registration info:

11th Pa Reserves Pimpin' Hypin' Raisin' Maryland My Maryland, Sept 5-7 2012, Potomac
11th Pa Reserves Pimpin' Hypin' Raisin' Maryland My Maryland, Sept 5-7 2012, Potomac Legion Adjunct

I done went and volunteered to run Company G, 11th Pa Reserves. "G" for gimp, "G" for Grumpy. Fitting, right?

So, if you'd like to attend the event, sign up for my company. We'll act stupid, burp, fart and make wise cracks, all the while trying hard not to ruin someone’s moment or movement. I promise not to have you stand at shoulder arms until your hand falls off, or line you up facing the sun. We're all adults so, I won't be telling you to drink water every 15 minutes. If you know someone new who'd like to try this campaigner thing out for the first time, I promise not to make him or her look like a fool, send them my way.

No, you don’t' have to cross the big scary mountains if you don't want to and you don't have to cross that big muddy river if you don't feel like it either and, I won't berate you for not coming East for events. But, having been part of the PL event communication for the 11th Reserves for a while and knowing Billy Birney the TV star is busting his hump to pull this thing off, added to the fact, the 11th Reserves (who we'll be portraying) will actually be doing a thing or two I've never seen done, this should be fun. Kids, historical record shows some civilian took a whole company to his house and made them pancakes for breakfast. So, here's how it goes if you'd like to register.

First, you go here and register:
http://www.marylandmymaryland.org/
For your unit group you put "Potomac Legion"
It's nice, they do paypal.
This tells Mr. Anders and his folks, you’re coming and falling in with the 11th Reserves.

Then you go here:
http://sallyportmess.itgo.com/11thpareserves.htm
You can either do everything on line, and pay by paypal or print out a copy and do snail mail.
This part of registration is for two different things. First, for your rations. 2nd, so you can pick what company you want to be in. Pick "G."

All of the history of the 11th Reserves is there too.
Uniform standards are here.
As of now, we’re looking at 60 rounds, properly packed, historically speaking. To start with.

So, sign up, we'll try to do things right and have some fun while we're at it.

Oh, and, nobody will die.

Questions? Grumpydave58@comcast.net and, I have a phone and I know how to use it

We're heading quickly to a registration cut of date. It's just about "now or never," registration time.

Your Pennsylvania character of Liberty, Virtue and Independence has brought you together under our flag. There is but little time left for others to register and rally to the call to fight at Maryland, My Maryland!

The battalion staff and event planners have been working hard to make a memorable experience for you all. You can help by bringing any pards and comrades to join in the experience. A site walk-though has been completed by some staff and company officers with a resounding response - Wow!

Only 2 weeks remain for registration to remain open, or sooner if the numbers fill up. Let's fill those remaining spots with 11th Pennsylvania men and give Skip Owens and the 4th Texas a run for their money!
