John Levique and Sarasota Medieval Faire...

[Esperanza McDaniels]

Any chance John's pass has anything like the pear cider that is sold at B.A.R.F?  I love that stuff!

[Anna Iram]

 I don't recall any of the bars having it on stock, but I could have missed something. Johns Pass doesn't do the beer pubs like a usual faire. All the restaurants are open and in full swing though. Ever been to Johns pass? It's a neat place.

[Esperanza McDaniels]

No, I've never been.  I'm really looking forward to finally experiencing things outside of just Renaissance Festivals.  Ya'll don't know how grateful I am to have found this forum.  Hugs to everyone!

Make sure you buy the Pub Crawl Pass!  It gets you a free beer, munchies and/or swag from the bars and merchants at John's Pass.   It usually comes with a t-shirt commemorating your pilgrimage of shame.....

Thanks for the heads up!  Anyone else have a bit of advice for a newbie like me?

I always bring a cooler of snacks and bottled water to leave in my car.  Probably the easiest tip there is, but I was oblivious to it at first.  You never know when you're going to get wiped from the heat and I know my blood sugar can drop really quickly.  That cooler in the car has saved me a dozen times.

Second that.....it'll be hot as the hinges of h*ll since the "site" is paved asphalt streets.  STAY HYDRATED (with water first ) or you'll not enjoy the day like you should!

Thirding the boys and agreeing with Wenchie on the sunscreen and dressing lightly (us harlots do!) ;-)
And Gatorade or Electrolyte powder is a must.
You can get little "crystal light" style sticks of it at Wal-Mart and they fit great in a pouch!
And cranberry pills for the ladies if you're going to be out for most of the day!
