Saturday continues to improve.   :)

I'm confident the Sunday showers will not scatter our way!  And if they do, it will be a natural opportunity to prove that I don't melt  ;)

It's tricky.

In spring, in Georgia, the only time you can have a degree of certainty about whether it will rain or not on a given day, is about 12 hrs or less before said day, and of course, by then, it's too late to make solid plans.

Ha ha ha!  ;D
Indeed. Too true.

Many's the time I opted out of fest because of impending rain, only to find that, by the time GARF is well over for the day, it would have been perfect weather for going.  >:(

Yes, but I'm loathe to drop $20 to get in the door and then not have a full, decent day for it.
To me, at least, getting a lot less sleep, getting up early, spending all that time and energy getting ready, driving the 25-30 mins. there, spending the $20, getting inside, just to have it pour rain on you, then having to walk all the way to the car in the rain, driving home and all for nothing... not my ideal kinda situation.

But then again... having a pub that sits about three people isn't an ideal situation either.  >:(

Ah, GARF... I love you.. why must you cause me such extreme frustration?!?

The pub will sit a few more than 3, but it is close quarters.  At any rate, the bad weather will keep the mundanes away and assure a playtron day! ;)  Which can be a very fun time!
I don't know what you've heard, none of it is factual, but it's all true.

Femme Falchion

The weather matters not.....my intention is for a FABULOUS time!  Everyone has the same choice!  ;) :)

Prior to yesterday it rained up here in Baltimore for nearly a full week and the temp didn't make it out of the 50s. Almost anything is an improvement for me. Leaving for the airport in 2 hours. Huzzah!!
