What's up everyone! Thomas Meehan is coming back out in full glory to MDRF this weekend. That's right, Meehan and Mistress Katherine Francis will be hitting the faire. You want to come with us? We would LOVE some company! Anyone going? I've never been, so I'm looking for suggestions on things to see/do/play with. Thoughts?
Let me know if you are going. Contact me here or through email aidenoffairfax@yahoo.com
See you there...
Joe B "Thomas Meehan"
Good to see you back on here on the forums man, I was starting to wander if you had disappeared or something.As far as things to to do at MDRF there is a group called the O'Danny Girls which happens to be one of my favorite rennaisance groups.Now I am going to warn you that a lot of their stuff is pretty bawdy (not like bawdy is a bad thing though ;D) but they still are a very good act at up their so you might want to catch one of their shows while there.And also don't forget to check out Pyrates Royale as well.Hope to see you there sometime this year my friend.
We'll be there Sunday. It's our home faire. Lady Di and I will have our two boys with us and possibly another family. The White Hart is where we make our pit stops. I always wear my R/F pin. I'm not sure what garb I'll be in yet. If you see us please don't be shy. We love meeting new friends. As a matter of fact we've met a lot of new friends at VARF. First pint is on me as a welcome to MDRF.
We will be there also.Go to the White Hart,thats where alot meet up at.I'll have my R/F pin on also.
Lordwriorthsley when are you making a appearance at MDRF?

As of right now I'm not sure.I will need to talk to my mom and see when she wants to go.We are planning on coming up with a friend of ours from VARF so I will need to get back with you on that Lady Joyce Ann.
White Hart it is! I'll be in blue... yes, all blue (except for the boots that is.) I look forward to meeting new people! As far as I know, Kathy will be in garb too, but thats not guaranteed yet... I'm going all out though... going through garb withdrawal!
Mel and I plan to be there this Saturday, as long as there are no tropical storms over Revel Grove thsi weekend.
Ah good... so plenty of familiar faces!
You know this weekend is scottish celebration weekend and Albannach is going to be there. They are incredible! A must to see. So we will see everyone this weekend.
Well as of now the plan is that m'lady and I will be there Sunday for a while. We will have to leave early as we have another commitment that evening though. Hope to see you then!

You have no idea. There's enough of us to put on a faire within the faire. And, as mentioned before, the place where everything happens and everybody goes is the White Hart Tavern. I'll be at the table closest to the wall on the Rosie's Posies side.
What I'd recommend as don't miss shows depends on what you like - music, comedy, drama, action, education, bawdy shows, squeaky clean shows, or various combinations thereof. In any event, don't expect to see everything in one weekend, as there are about ten stages or other venues running shows continuously.
From what I've seen from the previous time I was there a couple years ago the only bawdy act that I know of up there are the O'Danny Girls.If there are any other bawdy acts up there that I missed please let me know and I will try to catch one of their shows the next time that I come.

Well, there's The Interpreters, Don Juan and Miguel's last show, Pub Sing, (arguably) Swami Yomahmi and even the Pyrates veer off into that territory every once in a while, when performing in the proper venue (Not That There's Anything Wrong With That®)

Thanks will I will try to catch one of each show.I don't know why I forgot the interpreters because a good friend of mine from VARF from about 5 years ago is one of the members of the group.I will definetely catch one of their shows when I come up again.
I will be there both days this weekend as well. Probably wearing maroon with a plaid shawl. Those of you who remember Neidfyre the fiddler/vocalist who was with us a few weekends -- she isn't named on the weekly schedule, but she's playing for the Aerial Angels this weekend, in area A.
AUGH!! Want! To! Go! Again!!
Feline, you should come visit! I miss the scribe, and no one has called me hack to my face in a long time... going through withdrawals!
awh, come on Feline.come on out to play with us.
I'm sorry, friends. My potential 'escape to MDRF' plans for the weekend are on hold as I may be flying back to KS tomorrow for a funeral. :(
Sorry to hear that feline... hope you can join us.
OK we didn't make it last weekend but we will be there this Sunday. Can't miss Albanach! Hope to see everyone there!
Unfortunately I won't be able to be there this weekend and I hate it to since Albanach is going to be there but I hope you all have fun this weekend.Please tell me how Albanach did this weekend since they are like one of my all time favorite in the rennaisnace world.
I'll look for everyone! Keep an eye out for me. I'll be the one in garb... wait, too vague. I'll be the one in tights... again, too vague. I'll be the guy with a pint in his hand... damn, again vague. Oh well. I'll be me. You know me. Come find me!
Good look for me.. I'll be the one in a big red hat... drinking mead.. but NOT at any of the Albanach show. You could have done a much better description of yourself... I mean... won't you be wearing a belt... that is how you know who people are don't you know, by their belts.. shhheesh.

This is Scottish Weekend. Bring your kilt. Or your sheep. Or both.
Oh yeah... I'll be the guy with the belt. Make sure to look for the guy with the brown or black belt with stuff hanging from it. Oh wait... vague again!
Orange. Just dangle an orange from your belt and you'll be unmistakable. ;)
And someone yell 'HACK!' at Joe for me since I won't be able to do it myself. (Not traveling this weekend after all but still can't do MDRF. Doesn't look like I'll be hitting KCRF this year, either. Alas!)
Feline Groovy sorry to hear that. I was hoping for a mini M'Crack invasion at KCRF since we are still going. Plans now are to be there closing weekend. Going to visit some friends out there and go to the faire.
The way my life has kept rearranging itself over the past few days, I'm not saying nuthin' no more 'bout where I might or might not be going. ::)
I give up!
LOL yeah I know what you mean! Was supposed to go to MDRF today but the wife is ill no its a no go. :( Oh well. Next week is PARF for sure! Just gives me more time to work on garb and such this weekend.
Sorry to hear about your wife Master James.I hope she feels better soon my friend.
Master James please tell your wife we hoping shes feeling better. And it was awful hot today at faire, an ugly 95 degrees.Even Albannach was feeling the heat,they had to slow it down abit.But a little bit of faire is better than no faire at all.
Lady Joyce Ann you are so right that a little bit of faire is better than no faire at all.I'm sorry that it was so hot for yall up there but at least yall are back in one piece and that is all that matters.

Oh no! Tell her to feel better soon, please. And if it was as hot there as it was here, perhaps she picked a good weekend to be ill anyway. :-/
Thank you all for the well wishes. She is doing much better today. She somehow injured her shoulder in 3 places and it was so sore yesterday she was ill from the pain. She basically has tendinitis in 3 places in the shoulder and none of them are in a place where a cortazone shot will help so she has been in physical therapy for it and its helping but she still has bad days and yesterday was one. We will however be at PARF this coming weekend so any of you who will be there I look forward to seeing you.
Master James I'm glad to hear to hear that your wife is doing better but i'm sorry that she's having to deal with the pain her shoulder.Is there like some kind of operation they can do to fix her shoulder in the 3 places she injured it?
Nope she didn't tear anything so its just a matter of working on it until it is healed.

Glad to hear she's doing better. I kept and eye out for you yesterday. I had assumed I had missed you because I was on the move a lot. It ended up just being my oldest and I. Lady Di had to stay home with the 6 year old because he was punished. Devon and I took the opportunity to see a lot of shows and only stopped by the White Hart couple of times very briefly.
