St. Louis Faire

[Lord Clisto of York]

Lord Clisto, it was a Grand Time!  Now you'll have to come down to Our Faire in Des Moines sometime and we can repeat it!    Huzzah!

It would be nice for sure, but it depends on the dates. I have rehearsal for the next three weekends before my upper Wisconsin Ren faire opens up for 5 weekend, then it constant busy.

Sorry I missed opening weekend, but I was otherwise engaged at Eureka College where my step-daughter and husband were being honored. Not the kind of thing one misses.
But, I should be on site Sunday with both kilt and camera.

For the record I want it known, I smelled Amyj's beaver this weekend and it really does smell like roses.

*evil giggle*

Ruby, Diamond, and m'self went incognito this past weekend - I think we picked THE muggiest of days to attend.  Saturday saw us in our colors but not our typical Kiss garb.  Sunday saw us in <gasp!> mundanes!  It is interesting to attend a faire in mundanes after all these years performing at different fests and faires. 

So, the lass with the 'ears' on her hood - I take it she is the Royal Jester?  She is a hoot to watch with the wee ones.  Loved her bit at opening gate with the other fellow, that was nice.  Good stunt work on her part to "fall backwards and ring the bell" to open the gate.  I have to give major kudos to the staff and cast for the actions of King Francois - pegged him pretty good for his 'womanizing ways.'  Ruby had never been to Petit Lyon before and without even reading the flyer, she immediately *knew* which French king it was being portrayed.  Kudo's!  Keep up the good work on the 'small details' - for history lovers and fellow rennies, they are the true diamonds of performances.

We'll have to see if our performance schedule next year allows us a 'ren-cation' to Petit Lyon again - it was an enjoyable weekend despite the humidity and high temps.

Fair Seas,
Emerald

I don't mind in the slightest!  Performers need to know when they are doing a good job; it lets them know that their hard work is paying off.  Thank you most kindly for passing my humble words along to the cast!

Anybody know who the troubadour was at faire Sunday of closing weekend?  He stopped by our table after lunch and and sang this cute little song and I totally forgot to ask who he was!  My daughter was totally mesmerized - they usually sing on stage not come to your table, smile and sing directly to you!

[Amyj]

It sounds like Tanner...was he at the main pub?  He sang "Swords and Shields" to my nephew Neil...Grandma cried it was so sweet.  Here is a link to a picture of him singing to Neil.  http://rocketgnome.smugmug.com/gallery/5070334_pBjwy#305177375_v5jou-A-LB
From talking to him, he said that the kids are why he performs.  It is just so sweet to see the kids mesmerized by his music!  I think he is personally responsible for more than a few kids going into music or becoming renfants!!!    He is truly wonderful!

[Once Debauched]

Nope, not Tanner.  Him I know. 

This guy was walking about, big floppy muffin hat and full long red beard.  I was on iTunes and saw a pic of Craig of Farrington, who's music I adore, and I swear it looks like him, but I don't know if he was slated to be at the faire or not.

He is Craig of Farrington, from Louisiana's Ren Faire.  I beleive he was there as a guest during the last weekend

Thank ya, thank ya, thank ya!  I now have to write an email!

Craig does many faires and is a regular at Bristol as well as Ohio and Tennessee. He has a standing order to play for me every morning after gate at Bristol at the Import Pub. He has don it for some years now. Just ask for the Sir Clisto song to. I was just as surprised he made one. LOL Here is his website -
