I have horribly mixed feelings at the moment about this. On the one hand it's "YEAH! Fair starts in two weeks!"

On the other hand it's "Oh $%^&!!!! Fair starts in two weeks! AHHHHHHHHHH!!! We have to clean up the booth, and make up more stock, and...and...and....AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

Dust is the one thing we already have in abundance. We're feverishly making more wings, and nervously waiting for the shipment of wands.

Do you mean the beautiful wings in the shop, or the wings I'll be wearing? Mine won't be beautiful this year. My new fairy costume is a horror show, black boots, black pants or tights, black long sleeve shirt, black gloves, black belt, black executioner hood with grey gauze covering my face. No skin will be visible, and I'll be carrying a staff with a skull on top. The new wings are the best part, and the only piece that isn't finished yet. At Pennsic last week, I went to a leather merchant and bought pieces from his scrap bin. They're going to be hanging loose from a heavy wire frame, and should give the effect of tattered rotting skin. I'm toying with the idea of never speaking aloud when I wear that costume outside of the booth. The possible problem I might have is that I don't want to scare small children away from the booth. ;D

So I am late in responding...  me, my hubby, and the wee-one will be there!  My hubby and his grandfather are scrambling to try and get a wagon built for my son...  they've been talking about it for some time now, but I've yet to see anything go into production!

I haven't been able to make Opening weekend for years due to other conflicts but will be there on the 6th.

I'm still a little shy about coming in garb (my friends think me weird) but am planning to this year just cause I am weird!

It looks like I'll be bringing along some fresh meat!  As long as plans don't change, my cousin and a friend of hers (neither of whom have ever been to Faire) will be coming with me.  Plus, due to the hubby's new schedule, I'll be able to stay all day.

So, I'll see anyone who'll be there on the 30th!

Well, my Pyrate friends bailed out on me for the 6th so I may be going solo  :'(  Seems as if they'd rather be spending time on the water that weekend so I guess I no longer need to worry about them thinking me weird.

What is weird is a single guy traveling alone in garb, I definitely need me a wench!
Title: Re: Opening Weekend

No worries, Amra. I'm sure we can wrangle a wench or five for you. ;)

The wenches that they give away are the ones you really need to watch out for! I prefer my wenches to have a bit of spunk, audacity, and fight in them that requires a bit of chasing on my part!

I'm definitely not settled here in TN yet. The new job is great, but my stuff is still in my apartment in Kentucky. I'll be moving it Labor Day Weekend, so I'll miss opening at ORF. That's okay because I will of course be visiting ORF. I have a season pass and all, so I gotta use it! I know for sure I'll be coming Sept 6th/7th, and then Castleteer Weekend, and then I'll try a couple more, as well as Celtic Fest. Gotta find someone to carpool with along the way. Hey Lucy! *nudge* ;D

Oh, I'm not working at Faire this year. I just meant that I would be attending whenever I wasn't scheduled to work at my mundane job. I'm a waitress at a Buffalo Wild Wings.

It seems that I will be driving down for Sunday and possibly Monday of opening weekend!

Quick!  Everyone do the anti-thunderstorm dance!

According to weather.com, there are supposed to be isolated thunderstorms on Saturday.  (But it only gives a 30% chance of precipitation.  O.o) High-82, Low-57.

I'll be there either way, and I cannot wait to see/meet everyone!

While I will not be there physically this weekend, I'll keep a weathered eye on the horizon for you.

In fact, I'll do for you all like I did for KYHRF with an updated weather outlook in another post. :)

So fear not, you will be well entertained all day, we plan to arrive early and stay late, and totaly enjoy the weekend!!

Getting ready to go down there right now. The whole crew will be in the booth. We have to weed the garden, plant the new flowers, put down mulch, and put up stock.

Finally got in touch with Chip and he'll have my new gloves ready for me, whew!

After all that, opening day is going to seem even more fun for me. Stop by Faerystone Creations, the scenery is great.

We just got back.  We only stayed from 11:15-4:00 though because of my wee-one.  We had fun.  It was rather warm.

I wish we were able to come back on Sunday and Monday but our mundane duties call us.  For the rest of you who will be attending the rest of the weekend.. have a blast!

Home, showered, covered in aloe!  xD

I had SUCH a great time, everyone.  I know I made a somewhat quick exit, but I think the sunburn was getting to my head (in my defense, it IS my entire face that's burnt so badly).

It was so awesome to meet you all, finally.  ^.^  Thanks to everyone that let me tag along (or kidnapped me, in some cases xP).

I'll see everyone on the 13th, and I cannot wait to meet even more of you!

Jinx!  It was good to see you  ;D

And it was good to see everybody!!  I got a sunburn too  :o

To Ratman and Bobbin,

My mission this weekend is to hide the "sacred crystal".  When Quinn returns, his job will be to find it.  "Remember mom, you have to hide it and not tell me where it is, so when I come back I can go on the sacred crystal hunt, Indiana Jones style!"

You have brought much joy! ;D

hehe, I put batman and robbin at first  :o

We had a great time as well even though I was feeling under the weather (http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i231/LittleCasino/Smileys/flu.gif).  But, thats one of the reasons why I went to make make myself feel better, and it worked!! 

Till we left that is, then I started feeling like crap again (http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i231/LittleCasino/Smileys/jpshakehead.gif)

Glad to hear everyone had a good time this weekend. You guys have NO IDEA how tempted I was to drive up there after I moved from Frankfort, KY. I doubt my mother would have liked me very well if I had done that to her.   ;D Look forward to seeing you all next weekend, and of course CASTLETEER weekend! Hugs to you all! No worries SNS, I'm not gonna check out early this time!   :P ::) :o 8)

I missed half of opening day. We were up late everynight last week getting ready for it, then I worked my butt off Friday afternoon to get the shop ready, stayed up late again Friday night hanging out with people we only see at fair, and then about 2PM Saturday afternoon it all caught up with me and I crashed on our bed in the back of the shop.

Had a great time the rest of the weekend though. ;D
