No idea how I got talked into this...

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

But, would anyone be interested in a bit of a field trip? Specifically, to the New York State Fair this Saturday. Highly kitschy, I know, but probably a whole lot of fun. Plus they have butter sculptures and Bengal tigers...

For anyone who's interested, we'd probably be leaving first thing in the morning on Saturday, to enjoy the whole day-long experience. Wouldn't mind a couple more chaperones over the age of majority, too...

Edited: Rule number one of going to the fair. NO LASERS!

Butter... sculptures? Dude, that's messed up.

Can I have a fried Twinkie? Because I kinda want one. Jamie was talking about them.

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

I think we can probably find you a fried Twinkie, yes.

And I don't know, I'm kind of curious about the butter sculptures.

Two words:

FRIED OREOS.

Will there be funnel cakes? I want a funnel cake.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

Ooh. OOH! I want a funnel cake AND a fried Twinkie.

Ooh, and corn dogs and one of those lemon-on-a-peppermint-stick things!

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

I don't think it can be a fair without funnel cakes.

So, I need to make sure Kyle gets a Twinkie, and you get a funnel cake. Check.

Well, if you're going to take all the fun out of going to the fair...

(What is a fair, anyway? I'm not really getting the whole picture. Tigers, butter, deep fried food... this is not a cohesive picture.)

[x-siryn.livejournal.com]

Games and rides and music.

Hrm...

[x-scarletwitch.livejournal.com]

Even if I wasn't already leaning towards going, you'd find a way to rope me in, wouldn't you? But I hear the New York State Fair is really rather well done...

Count me in for riding herd/

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

Thank you. Thank you, thank you, and thank you again... I'm starting to realize just what I've let myself in for, here.

[x-foliate.livejournal.com]

...if I go, am I of the chaperone or kidling posse?

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

Depends entirely on what you feel up to, really. I wouldn't mind additional chaperones - pleaspleaseplease - but if you'd rather just go and have fun...

[x-coldhands.livejournal.com]

I'll go along as a chaperone, but only on the condition that we bring motion-sickness bags, because if they eat half of what they've threatened up there? Eeurgh.

(I want an elephant ear. And some grilled corn. No, I am not immune to the lure of fair food.)

[x-siryn.livejournal.com]

Come freeze bananas for me and Kyle!

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

I think barf bags could be arranged.

[x-juggernaut.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm in. Haven't been to the state fair since I was a kid. I'll even drive the pickup there, so that some folks can ride in the back the way you're MEANT to go to the fair.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

DIBS!!!!!!!!!!!

[x-mirage.livejournal.com]

mmm. pickup.

I like your pickup.

[x-jubilee.livejournal.com]

Did I get to wear a straw hat and overalls? Cause Dude, I seriously saw the wickedest yellow overalls in this shop.

[x-mirage.livejournal.com]

screw my diet.

I'm going to eat my way through the fair and then go dancing. and if Forge begs well enough, I might not make him dance.

[x-rahne.livejournal.com]

I was going to ask to come, but now I'm not sure if I ought to....

[x-mirage.livejournal.com]

oh come anyways! it will be fun!

Aren't our students so precocious? Add another to the list of 'teachers fool enough to help out'.

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

Does it scare anybody else that I'm old enough to chaperone? :)

Dude, cotton candy, fair attractions, and fried things-that-no-sane-man-would-fry. I am so there.

[x-kitten.livejournal.com]

Does that mean I get to spend the next year going "cradle robber, cradle robber" at you?

[x-madelyn.livejournal.com]

At risk of exploding your inbox, Nathan, count me in for chaperoning. And since Clarice is going and can 'port me/Hank/Jean back in an emergency (is Moira going, by the way?), I think I'll try and talk him into venturing out into the Big Blue Room before he turns pale blue from want of fresh air.

[x-beast.livejournal.com]

No! No! Not the Big Blue Room! Anything but the Big Blue Room!

I'm in. *g* Do you want to carry the baby or the diaper bag? The baby's lighter, but the bag doesn't wriggle or spit up.

Oh! Oh! Nathan, I have a present for you that will be JUST the thing.

[x-skin.livejournal.com]

I'll go. Haven't been to a State Fair since... ever.
