I was at the opening day.  It was so neat to see most of you.  I spotted the Merlin; I would have said hi, but I really didn't know what to say since I only lurk here....
Am I that scary? I left off the makeup and tamed down the "Dark Wizard"... always say "Hi" to Merlin.... I'm a likable person...really.

Well HI is a good start ;) ;)

Seee..... he's easy.

Now... Sunday I was kilted and a few passed me without noticing me.... it happens.

Saturday will be Merlin the Wizard.... Sundays are Merlin the Scottish Gunn.

Well, when I saw you as Merlin last year, I thought "man, I bet he scares the little ones, but that's really cool garb!"  Then I finally got to meet you both days this weekend, and you were very friendly both times, and yes, you are likable person :)
See you at RenDezvous!

Don't feel bad, Merlin... i posted a picture of myself, on the McLot site and kinda got the same response... of course to see me in the picture, you had to look past the open bore of a 12 gauge...   :o  ;D

Well the Pink Pirate and I were there early and went over to the scottish flags, and were imediatlly given a look of "eat crud and die"  either people mistook us for someone else, or something.  I saw a few people but we may just try to get there even earlier and see who we can meet.  We want to do a cannon to cannon this next weekend. We rarely get to do that.

We saw you from a distance Lady. We also went up to a couple of groups that looked at us like we were poison, but we've got that from select groups before. Most faire folke are friendly and welcoming and watch out for "new blood" to make them feel comfortable and welcoming. As a student of sociology I have my ideas as to why some groups aren't as friendly, but that's a whole other topic.

I have to say that when I am with a group of rennies it is the most comfortable I can feel.  And yeah most rennies are good people.  We had a laugh at a McDonalds when we got breakfast.  The truck in front of us had rennies in it, and then us.  Needles to say the cashiers were a little freaked but ok.  What made it more funny was that when we parked , that truck was right next to us.  We even chatted about the places lack of service.  ;D

EDIT: BTW if you see us but we don't see you, yell at us.

Same here. Give us a yell if you see us. It is cool when driving down on Saturday morning, coming in on 287 from Ft. Worth, and waving at all the pre-garbbed folks.

We drove down on Saturday morning and the folks at the McDonald's in Decatur did the same thing. It's really funny to think what they were wondering. I had a guy at a gas stop last year ask me if I was in a Lord of the Rings play at the college or something (in Gainesville). I told him where we were going, but sometimes I just want to say something like "i'm a time traveler from the 16th century, can you tell me the way to the jousting arena?"

See you at the Faire!

I'm sorry but I didn't see you. Look for the Spanish Imperial banner, guaranteed friendly people.

LOL!  THAT was thanks to our Order Brother, Richard, Lord of Ballzack.  He gets bored, he photoshops... i seem to be his favorite target but some of it's justified considering the hell I've given him since before TRF last year.

Now we are bonded as brothers.

Please no more cheerleader photos though.
