Ya'll rennie mofo's gonna get cold and wet....hahahahahahaha damn damn it sux to be ya'll :) ;D

I can see how a weather wimp might see it that way.

For us that know how to have fun, it is a very different story.

It is a day of fantastic light for pictures.  My wife can already see how excited I am about the prospect!

It is a great day to wrap your cloak around a young lady, warm her up a little, and make a new friend.

A rain cloak, proper footwear, a few hand warmers, knowing where the best hot chocolate is at, and the right attitude makes rain days a LOT of fun.

I don't feel sorry for the weather wimps at all - They know how to be miserable regardless of the weather.


I like the way you think Paul :)

I agree.   On Roman weekend in years past when all the Queen's Men were wearing were glorified sheets, It was usually a chilly day so I decided that it was 'Warm up a Goddess' day and many a man in a cloak was more than happy to accomodate.  It was a great bit.

This time of year starts to winnow out the weak. I can remember at least twice over the years that there were more participants than patrons but by goddess those were some hard core rennies. An inspiration to us all.

When the going gets tough, the tough head for the pub.

You wont find sympathy for 135 degree weather here. Been there, done that.

I dont mind the weather, so long as I have good company I will have fun.

good company does indeed result in a good time, I agree with that very much. I personally don't care for cold and wet even with good company, I have spent way too much time in that kind of weather and don't care to do it as a constant weather diet, however I have and do continue to visit my friends even in the worst weather at Faire, but to be cold and wet, hmm still sux to be ya'll and wasn't requesting sympathy from a cruit just tellin ya to come join me and have some of this wonderful weather

Yes, everybody please stop claiming R...! We have a guest author at my booth & we'd really, really, really  like to make it a nice weekend for him. Just sayin'.


I prefer to refer to it as the "Tears of God" but as Lady Rosaline said, these things called "forecasts" change hour to hour.


*At least it won't be like Closing weekend '07* ;D  
Oh lawdy.... I was there for that one!

It was cold and wet and miserable... but a fun time none the less.

I'm utterly delighted with the way the weather turned out for Saturday at the Faire.  We all had the most fabulous time and even have some sunkissed cleavage amongst the ladies.
