Hey, I just got back from the St Louis Ren Faire this weekend.  They've got a leg up on us with thier friends of the faire package!  Les Amis de Lyon, or something like that.  Did KCRF ever do this?  A special area with drinks, changing area, storage area, and special "members only" privvies?  If not, they should seriously look into it!  What a fantastic deal it was!

They used to have something kind of similar; season passholders could gather in the gazebo near the jousting lists, and every season they threw a members-only breakfast for the season passholders, with great food, entertainment, and door prizes.  But the last year we went to the breakfast, the organizers actually polled us, and asked if we wanted the breakfast/perks or a better price on tickets, and we all voted for cheaper passes.

One thing we haven't ever done, but I want to someday, is to attend the pre-season fundraiser they do every year at the Old Stone Church in KC. It sounds kind of like a madrigal dinner, and it would be really fun to mingle with the cast indoors for once, with air conditioning!

Looks like The Ladies of the Salty Kiss will be returning to the stages and lanes of Canterbury opening weekend ONLY - September 4-6.  More details later as they become available from the Maestro.

Oh, I have faire dreams too! (Including one where Muslim women in full hijab were buying garb.)  ONLY THREE MORE MONTHS TO GO!!! :-)

This will be my 3rd time here and I can't wait! I was wondering, if anyone's been, how was the Feast of Fooles? Can you tell me what its like and what goes on during it?

Also, I'd really love to see a relaxed weapons policy. This is one of only a handful of faires in the country that don't allow even peace tied weapons. It's really frustrating when you've got the perfect sword to complete your outfit but you can't wear one, you know?

But anyways, I'm pretty much counting down the days.

I went to the Feaste of Fooles this last season, and I probably wouldn't do it again.  It was OK, but it interfered with all of the other shows I wanted to see.

The chow was good, and the show was alright.  They give out a nice ceramic mug.  I'm glad I went, but I probably won't be back to that event in the KCRF.

So, bottom line in my opinion is:  It's worth doing once.

Delireus

I think I'll give it a try then, thanks a lot :)

it's a shame to see you so little. I recall you being present every day in the past. Hopefully we will get to meet again. And everyone else who has already expressed intent to go; kcdcchef, amyj, delireus, we should all meet! the faire is by far best in groups.

Delireus

Most definitely. I can only go for one weekend though, the 25th which is the 4th weekend called the Romani Adventure. It's 2 hours away for me sadly.

On another note, has anyone been to the Great Plains faire in Wichita? I was thinking of checking it out.

no, haven't been to the great plains fest yet, it always conflicts with KCRF so i'm never able to.
