hehe, I think I got Stamplede-ed out 25 years ago. The official start date is Friday the 6th but they've (always?) had a sneak peak night on the Thursday. 10 days of this! Yee Haw. Thank Gawd I've got an SCA event to take me out of town of the final weekend {giggle} - pity they didn't make quilts in the 11th century ...
