I remember how much fun it was to sleep under a table on a stone floor after a coronation at a castle in Drachenvald...

Hey it was a BLAST! You should have been there!

I had to find the place after work and a drive away, (business trip to Germany), and all the clear floor space had been claimed. Sleeping under the tables was great, no inebriated folks tripping over you in the middle of the night and a nice flat clean dry floor is very nice indeed compared to some of the camping I've done. Any hardness issues were mitigated by the proper application of mead to the problem!

Puppy; no we had wild boar at the feast as I recall and a fire eating demonstration afterwards.

One of my best business trips *ever*! (I also got to demonstrate how to weld up a pattern welded billet to an 82 year old smith at one of the open air museums that same trip---sure I traveled with garb and a billet and flux; doesn't everyone? ) (I did borrow a sleeping bag from a coworker once I got to Germany)

Besides, drinking yourself under the table then sleeping there is period. ;)

Thomas,

I am glad no one killed your puppy and that you had a good time. :wink:

I'd rather sleep under the table as well... keeps your personal space.
