Alright Amyj!  Will you be sporting your Luau patterned garb one of the days?  I will certainly be there the weekend your crew sails across the wide Missouri to our small village of Canterbury the weekend of the 18th and 19th!  I look forward to seeing you again.

Amyj

Butch, probablly not....unfortunately I made it so fast that it's not as strong as the other garb I've made and my bodice needs some serious work.  But, we will have our "High School" garb on (see the finished garb thread re: my SCHS Pirate and his RBRHS Buccaneer school colors garb) at least one day....maybe gypsy-ish the next...not sure. depends on the weather that weekend.  I'm SO ready...2 weeks and 2 days until we leave!!!!!!

We did make it on the 18th and 19th and had a great time.  I really like the pubs at this fair.  I went to the Royal Smoker on Sunday and that was fun, too.

Sorry I missed you!  If you saw some guy in a blue hat with yarn all over it, that was me!!  I will be there this Sun, but not tomorrow.

Did you try any of the Pirtle mead?  It is made not far from the Faire, in a town called Weston, MO.

TKM

Yes, I tried the Pirtle. It was great. The bar wench was telling me that Chaucer's was actually sweeter.. I know you said you much prefer Pirtle, but if another kind is sweeter, I'd love to try it too.

Butch

To me, the Chaucer's tastes chemically.  Are you around the KC area?  Go to the HY-VEE supermarket and pick up a bottle of the Oliver mead.  It's around $8 (EIGHT BUCKS).  IMO, it tastes better than either Chaucers or Pirtle, and it costs way less.

TKM

ok. my closest store is a hy-vee... i dont recall them having a wine rack or anything though. is that just the missouri stores? i'll certainly check it out.

Butch

Yeah, I'm i'm in Lees Summit, so it may be a MO thing.  I think Gomers has Oliver mead.
