Oh frozen Christmas was NOT fun, my garb was not up to the task, the only saving graces were that I worked in the forge and the rules about garb were somewhat loosely interpreted that day so I got away a couple of what would normally be obscene violations of period clothing.  Three layers of clothing, including a fleece jacket under my faire shirt was a bit obvious. 

FYI:  Coal forge, yes, it is very hot inside the coke dome, but it radiates next to nothing which is why we can pull off the "lay your hand on the coals 3 inches from the glowy parts right after pulling a piece of yellow hot steel out" trick.  Actually a very educational crowd pleasing stunt that lets us talk about the transition from charcoal to coal in smithing.

I always loved performing in the rain.  Good times.  Good times.

Including the frozen Christmas? Thought Jingles was going to turn into a Sherrysicle.

Closing 2007?  That's what got me into *waves hands around* all of this....

I had on wellies and my Texas Body Hangings heavy velvet cloak and I was toasty and dry.  I really did have a good time.  It didn't hurt that there was a jet engine (or sorts) in the entertainment building to keep us warm and dry as well when we needed it.

bah, buncha thin-blooded sunborns. We Northmen frostborns love that kind of weather 

[Merlin the Elder]

Aye.  In the winter, at my castle, we set the heat to come on when the temperature inside drops to 62.

I remember that thing from two years ago. Jeff recruited me to try to keep it running that day it rained and was 35F out. Finally got it working and everyone crowded around. Good times!

Didn't you leave around... ummm... Saturday and not come back?

I didn't have that much of a problem.

A. I used to live in Montana.
B. I work faire, not much bothers me anymore.

I remember bits of that weekend... that's what got me into "all of this" as well.

[*Teach*]

That was the closing weekend the year the Lovely Lady Trinn and I were married. On the sleety death day we just stayed in the tent and... um... kept warm
Also that was the night that we were inducted into CHAOS.
All in all it wasn't that bad a trip.

*plenty of rum during the day kept away the chills as well*

It sleeted briefly on the opening weekend Sunday of Sherwood last year. We had separated from one of our traveling companions, and when we found him, he was sitting at a picnic table, eating pizza...in the sleet. We've never seen anyone who could eat like he does...

I remember that! We were out on that Saturday and the little one was keeping me in pain because I was out in the cold! LOL

[Riff Raff]

I mostly remember not wanting to move away from the fire by the standing stones for the last couple hours of opening day last year at Sherwood. We were fine for most of the day, but once the sun started setting it got brutal.

Worry not. I will stock plenty of firewood by the Seven Sisters for the 2013 season. Since we are also clearing additional camping area thanks to the clan The Claw, we will have additional cut wood available.
