History of the Clan

In 1992, Sam, Fitz, Lea, Kevin, Melanie, Dave Jones, Frank and Jay returned and brought Scott (Wystan) along and Jen Shrader (one of the Fleshless Bats). Lea and Kevin were merchants again and had to spend a lot of time up at the top. The highlight of this merchant year was when an intoxicated Dave and Kevin returned to the market area after some time down at the swamp to “help” Lea and her merchant neighbor Bron conduct midnight madness. First they decided to have a bigger sale than Bron had intended and then Kevin, while placing his face an inch from a Royal’s nose, inquired “Do I need to bow to you or what?” Kevin will never forget the dread combination of vodka and wink nor the sound of the drum and fife corps the following morning.

Down in the swamp, the clan temporarily moved to a site next to the family swimming hole. This unfortunately was right across the street from the teenage makeout spot and we were relentlessly regaled with the theme from Rocky Horror. We didn’t really have any type of community tent, but we had erected a blue, plastic castle out of tarps. Our neighbor, Moon Dog, was nice enough to allow Frank to try on his helm. Unfortunately some one yelled “Hit him!” which apparently proved irresistible for Moon Dog. Although this was really comical to those watching, Frank was not nearly so amused. This year, several of our bats found that if you hung around the lake at night until innocent passerby’s came near, and then you all repeatedly stated “Wah?” while looking at them questioningly, they would run off in utter terror!

Back at the camp, Sam and Fitz had long been tormenting each other with a poster of Star Trek’s Mr. Sulu. The one who possessed it would try to strategically place it somewhere that would surprise the other. (e.g.. the refrigerator). Sam, who was the possessor of Sulu at the time was able to hide it within Fitz’s war chest, thus Sulu-ing him successfully. However, this lead Frank to believe later that evening that Mr. Sulu was in his tent, dead. It seems that Frank had killed him because he was no longer Frank, but Charles Manson. Obviously he wanted to flee this startling realization and decided that he would attempt to psychically hot wire Jay’s truck.......When this didn’t work Frank became lost in our front yard. All of this can likely also be blamed on Jen....who was as we all know, “IN CONTROL!” Overheard in camp: “When I get down to here....I’ll be drunk!”, “Who are you?!”
