BARF 2010 "Pre-Rendezvous Bash"

[Count Adolfo]

methinks... and I could be talking out of turn... but methinks whatever weekend we make it, good Saint Molden the IMPious will be there
methinks a few of us would volunteer to go get him if it came to it

I am waiting on that official BARF schedule... but do bear in mind that you have a very valid point, if it turns out that the weekend they DON'T declare as "St. Patty's" is more beneficial, we, the Powers That Be in the Invasion Planning, could always choose to do it the other weekend

(ie if they choose the weekend AFTER but the weekend BEFORE is better for us, we could have St. Molden's and then St. Patty's ... lol)

Count Adolpho My Good Friend:

I have a question.  Has BARF reversed it's policy on weaponry or not.  I had heard that they decided to allow peace tied weapons, but upon looking at their web page it still says no weapons.  Can you clear that up.  I have a reason for asking.  I am looking at the possiblity of a 6 month IT contract in St. Pete and I might be able to attend as I would be staying for the 6 months in a local campground in my RV.   But my attendance at BARF would only be done if they now allowed weapons.

Sir Blakduke They Do Allow Peacetied weapons I would know as a patron and as a employee i am a boothie there as well as it is my transplant home faire so your answer is Yes they allow peace tied weapons.

Well, since that fits into MY plans, I'd be all for it. Speaking purely selfishly, of course.

If I were the Lord High Drunkard of the Florida Command I would make this a DoRT event....just saying...

Many thanks Captain.
As you are employed there, you might mention that they should change the info on the web page.

Blakduke, our faires official site is not yet up for the season, though I did take a look at our own faire directory and it does state no weapons which is incorrect. Last year was our first season to have weapons again allowed and it seems we need an updating! As soon as the official site is up I'll be sure to pass the correct info along. Thanks for that heads up.  


Capt. Black, thanks for the word from behind the scene. Glad to see we'll continue to be a weapons allowed/peace tied village. I like the way the men look with a weapon or two swinging at their sides. Looking forward to visiting with you at the Round World.

I have usually my flogger and the occasional sword or two.

And I do suggest that everyone comes to the round world pub we have lots of fun there.. Hope to see you all soon..

Sounds Great!

Sumpin' 'boot "good Saint Molden" makes me timbers shivver - until ye "redeems" said quote with IMPious! HAAAARRRRRR!!!!
*Whew! Me thynks I seened clouds a buildin' in advance o' a lightnin stryke dinna ye nae!*

LOOOOOVES thar be a plan t' shang hai me if'n th' fates attempt t' thwart me attendance! LOL!

Onna 'nuther part o' th' thread - Ye allow peace-tied weapons?!?!? OOoooooo....tha' means I'd be tyed up? 

[Count Adolfo]

OK, I have it on VERY good authority that it WILL INDEED be the weekend BEFORE St. Patty's that is the Irish Weekend... usually called Shamrocks and Shenanigans...

so...

let the planning begin.

I have a few ideas for this invasion that will make it like none you've ever been to before... this is gonna be spectacular so anyone who is "on the fence" about coming...
get down from there before you hurt yourself

Ulfric, I concur... perhaps the Lord High Drunkard down here will get on that.
BLAKDUKE... bring your sword!

Iain perhaps I'll finally see you at BARF...



and to everyone... bring on the fun!

[Lord Elessar]

I would be greatly appreciative of a definitve on weapons! Last year I was turned away on one day, but nay I give up.. NOOO!  Twas not a fort night later I gained access with Andruil and my Elvish small sword at my side.  Seems to depend who is manning the main gate.

[Anna Iram]

 Last year was the first in a while that we were allowed weapons and I'm guessing there was some confusion at the gate. I'll wager this year it's more ironed out.

My best recommendation for you would be to contact the faire directly for a definitive answer

[Count Adolfo]

I have heard nothing of any change in policy from last season, which was peace-tied only.
I'd wager that you're right about there being someone manning the gate who merely didn't know the policy had changed from the year before.
I promise I'll get confirmation for you, though.

I hope so. That's my plan. But I'm self-employed, and have been running a deficit for three months, and have no reserves left. (Basically, after I got back from Rendezvous, the bottom dropped out.) If trends continue, I see things turning around in 2020. So to survive, let alone get to BARF, I'm going to need a change of employment, a change in trends or the ability to buck trends. Wish me luck!

[Count Adolfo]

sorry to hear that... really hope you can make it
