Rendevous 2009

[Master James]

Thank you to all the wonderful people who hosted the tailgate, provided food/drink/booze, the pins and especially to whoever made those yummy cakes!!

You're welcome darlin'!  Glad you enjoyed the cakes.  That was my lovely wife working hard baking.  See you at CRF if not sooner!  Maybe Sir P.A. will show up.  

I want to thank all of you for what is easily my best RenWeekend ever.  From the Friday night meet and greet, to the tailgates both mornings, from the gatherings in the evenings to the assistance in finding Brent Monday morning, it was such an event in my life.

This was the first time I have been so involved in the Faire for a weekend.  Usually, it is more like show up at 9:30, enter upon the gates opening, enjoy the Faire throughout the day, participate a little at the pubs and a few greetings to people as you pass each other, hopefully be able to stay for pub sing.  You have turned my Faire outlook on it's ear.

After having actually met so many of you and been able to connect with you, I will never think of Revel Grove or it's inhabitants the same again.  (forced to pause, not embarrassed to admit to wiping an actual tear from his cheek).  You took us into your family like we belonged.  I don't think it is quite possible for me to communicate effectively how great a people you are.  As I have been trying just now, I have had to pause and walk away from my keyboard twice to compose myself. 

There were so many special moments that made up this weekend, and so many incredibly special people that made it happen.  Many little corners of Revel Grove now have new and powerful meaning to me.  The problem now is making the rest of my RenLife live up to the new standard you have now set.

Again, I thank you.We won't be able to come back until next Labor Day Weekend, but that gives me 361 days to look forward to it, and look forward to seeing all of you.

You are welcome back anytime my friend and we look forward to seeing you again next year.

Thank you to all that came to Revel Grove!  It was a grand weekend and very enjoyable!  Scotsman, Lady Guiness and others but especially you two did a GREAT job as usual!  We'll see everyone in 3 weeks as this weekend the wife works and next weekend we're off to PARF.

Robert,

You and Brent are more than welcome!  We look forward to your return to our humble Grove.

I would like to add my thanks to Scotsman and Lady Guinness, Lupa and Ulfric, JoyceAnn, and the many others who worked very hard to make the weekend a grand success! You all did a FABULOUS job and are to be highly commended!

I also want to thank all of the "out of towners" for joining us at our lovely faire, helping to make some wonderful memories for us all. You are welcome back any time - we really enjoyed having our friends visit, both old friends and new!

Until next time.................HUZZAH!!

Back to work today ... Thank God ... I need a vacation from faire (lol)!

Back to work today ... Thank God ... I need a vacation from faire (lol)!

Not me.  Someone else put it best.  "Faire, escape to reality from the fantasy."  Had to agree, I wish every day was spent at Faire.  -_-

Granted, have to find a trade of some sort or another, lol...

Great photos. Who is behind the lens in the pictures of you?

My lovely wife had charge of the camera the day I was Sir P.A.

[Dallan]

Lucky you. I handed the camera to Lady Di on day two hoping we might capture a photo of me since none were taken day one. She passed it to Master Drew (the 7 year old). Plenty of pictures, mostly of the ground, animals and food, only one really bad one of me. Oh well, such is the life of the family photographer. Fortunately you and others were kinder to me than my family.

[Count Adolfo]

If I may, I'd like to thank everyone... and I mean EVERYONE... who made this weekend so bloody enjoyable for me and Falcone.
I'd try to list you all but seriously, there are so many of you that I'd surely forget someone and feelings would be hurt so I'll not even try.  I wish I had more voice all weekend... there were so many things I had to NOT say... or do...
you know, that might have accounted for me going the entire weekend without getting into too too too much trouble...
naaaaah!!!

I'll hopefully have my voice back for TRF in a month and Charlotte a month after that.

In the meantime, I'm still reveling in the wondrous memories that are now Rendezvous to me.
Thanks, Seamus, for accompanying me there.  Thanks, Hector, for being such a good sport and for making the trip.  I wish more of us got to go.

ONE very FUNNY and special thanks?

Thanks Iain Robb... I had to travel 1000 miles to meet someone who is a regular here at BARF!
THAT is a precious and funny memory... a legend of Rendezvous!

[sir oswyn dagworth]

Michelle and i got a couple good pictures of you. We'll post them once we sort through the 400-500 we have.

Thank you to all of you at Revel Grove for a joyous weekend and thanks to everyone who came from so far away. Worst faire hangover ever!

I'll be back for more in late October. See you all then.

Thanks to you good sir my daughter was quite smitten with Falcone the rest of the day.   Wish the hubby and I could have stayed and mingled, or even returned for a second day.

then I suppose you will have to make a trek to Bay Area Renaissance Festival in the spring... or at least to another Faire we'll be at...
