Actually, I think it's the second weekend. It was last year.
It would be the first weekend.

You can read about the M'Cracks here http://www.renaissancefestival.com/forums/index.php?topic=719.0 (http://www.renaissancefestival.com/forums/index.php?topic=719.0). Members of the Clan gather together several times a year at different faires. When we do it's called an invasion. There is currently no local chapter in Georgia but my guess is after the invasion there could be. The Clan is a great group of people. Look for us, say hi, share a drink.
Fight'n M'Crack
Siege The Day will be there! And I'm a MacGregor AND a MacKenzie...I'm also, according to my wife, QUITE cracked!!! Do I qualify?...lol!
Kev

M'Lord, if you're coming in from the frozen wastes of the North on opening weekend, I am sure someone will be there to meet you, at the very least a Warrior Monk of the Temple or two... ;D

My dear Sir... The opening weekend (18th and 19th of April) is indeed M'Crack invasion weekend. I'm sure there will be MANY M'Cracks for you to meet!
Agreed. My wife and I love meeting new friends so dear sir please look for me and say hello. On Saturday I'll be in the guy in the pub with the green shirt and saffron kilt. Wait that only narrows it down to all the M'Crack men. I'll be the one drinking beer. There that should help. Sorry, seriously Sir Clisto please introduce yourself. I'm not too hard to find as I travel with a beautiful blonde and two handsome blonde sons. It's a wonder I even get noticed at all.

I'm sure... you'll be the ONLY one drinking beer.... Oh wait, they don't have Guinness do they, which means you could be the only one drinking beer, since most M'Cracks could have Guinness via I.V. line. ;) Mwahahaha....

It has been a full year Dallan....and YES I am looking forward to opening weekend! ;D After all, it is Lady Dracolich's natal day weekend....who in their right mind would not travel for such an event? :) :D Saturday my husband and I will be there with our boys (look for 2 small crazy Celts in Black Watch tartan) and Sunday we'll be on our own while the in-laws have the boys. Look forward to seeing you and your family again....as well as Templars, M'Cracks and the Lords and Ladies of the forums!
Huzzah!! I can't wait to see you again, FF!!! :D I'll finally get to meet the rest of your family! -doing happy dance-

Planning another invasion Warrior Monk? Can we expect to see a good showing of Brothers? :D
An invasion....no, a significant representation of the Military might of the Holy See (thus keeping heretics and evil does at bay)....yes.
Although it's looking bleak at having other Brothers from this thread attend, I do plan on having 2-3 Confrere (associate) Brothers in attendance. I will be equipping them from the armory of my Preceptory. Lady Lefay will also have Ladies in waiting in her train., at least one that I'm aware of. ;D
Also I and my lady will be there along with friends from the Minn. r/f area as well.
The BLAKDUKE
Thank you all for responding, but I believe my memory decieved me. I am coming in for the May 2/3 weekend and was thinking of the Tennessee faire opening weekend which is the 2nd/3rd. My apoligies for the misunderstanding. I was going to go to the GA faire on either the Saturday or Sunday and the Tenn faire on the opposite day. I lumped them together. So, it will really be the 3rd weekend of GA and opening of Tenn. in the same weekend. So, now that I have my witts about me again, who will be there on the 2nd or 3rd of May at GA.
Lord Sir Clisto of York
And thus does a dark cloud descend upon the lands of Fairburn, GA. :(
hey sir clisto I'll be there may second also. ;D I'm getting to go twice this year yeaaaahhh
Excellent!! I will have to see which day Mercy & Roland want to do Ga and which one Tenn once I get there. I have bookd my flight as of today, Tuesday, to leave Friday May 1 morning and get in to GA by noon and then return back to behind the chedder curtain here in WI on Monday May 4.
Lord Sir Clisto of York
Sir Clisto....what a crushing blow to those of us attending opening weekend. :'( To have our hopes raised....and then dashed....
I deeply apologize. I wish it was where I could be there then. I was looking to meet others as well. Hope I still can.
I am currently speaking to the entire Clan down here in Florida...
Clan O'Conchobhair...
and many of us, I believe, will be in attendance for this event.
I can speak for myself, Galsdig M'Crack and my son (O'Snap)
we are DEFINITES.
Now, Seamus (Ewe'n) has expressed an interest... I know Treeman (Sapp'n) is considering it...
I'll have more details soon. I'd LOVE to get the entire Chapter to come but some folks do have scheduling conflicts...

O.M.G.
You have just thrust upon me yet another changes of plans for opening weekend. My local friends here who were going to come with us
have a church function that weekend that they cannot get out of. So the wife and I were going to come and play a bit and leave early say about 3PM because we have a little furball that needs attention. Now it looks like we will have to re-visit our former plan and come up in the motorhome so the dog will be with us and we can consider staying for pubsing. Thanks alot my friend ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
'twas ne'er my intention to displeasure!
I am very much looking forward to the GA invasion. We are going to have an incredible time!
THR & I won't be able to make it :( I have to work that weekend, and there's no way I can get out of it. I did hear that some of our central Florida group is planning on going up Memorial Day weekend, so we're planning on trying to join in that weekend.
I aim to be there both weekends.
I am still looking for more locals who want to make the M'Crack weekend.
So.. do we M'Cracks have a pub/ restaurant to meet at in the evening hours? Are we wanting to meet up on Friday/Saturday nights? Let me know, b/c I've found a few nice (and in one case, Irish) pubs that may be able to accommodate us. I'd be happy to sort it out for us all. Wooohoo!! We're almost there!! :D
Since there is not a local Clan (at least not yet) I don't think anyone has set up a social gathering either night.
I shall certainly not be able to make it for any Friday night Gathering...
if we are coming... and I say if because there are still some challenges to overcome...
we will be leaving after work Friday. We'll arrive in the wee, wee hours Saturday... grab breakfast, dress in the lot and go to Faire.
After Faire, we'll be available for dinner, which I believe I have an arrangement made for...
then it will be off to bed to make it for Sunday.
Sunday we'd need to leave around 3 or 4pm to get back here to FL in time to get sleep and go to work on Monday.
Remaining hurdles?
1. A vehicle to take to GA (yeah, this one's a doozie)
2. Possible health issue
3. Hotel for Sat Nite has not yet been booked.
4. If no one else is going from down here, the drive is all me and the expenses aren't split...
Wish me luck
Sis I thynk it would be great to have a lil meet & greet on Fri eve, what say yee for locations?
OK, I posted this elsewhere but I'll also put it here in case it's missed...
I bought a Durango but it cost me... so now I have a vehicle...
but I can't make it this coming weekend to GARF. It was the truck or the trip...
I think I made the right decision.
I have to act all responsible-like...
I'm a single dad and all
sorry folks
see you all on Memorial Day Weekend
Congrats on the Durango.
I'm sure you will be missed at GARF but can't wait to see you at MDRF
I was thinking the Irish Bred Pub. It's about 10 miles from the GARF exit (exit 61 off I 85). I've not been there before, but it sort of reminds me of the Hooker. Here's the link: http://www.irishbredpubptc.com/index.html
So, if we're all interested, I'll be happy to call ahead this evening and make arrangements for Friday eve. Let me know!
:)
Leaves'n and Ratz'n will not be able to make it this year. Maybe next year.
Due to popular demand Respect and cool'n M'Cack will be making a guest appearance. :o
48 hours from now I'll be on a plane heading south. Can't wait.
Do we have a game plan? With Peddlin and Lairde Guardn MCrack not in attendence I wasn't sure if we would proceed as usual. Toast at the pub at 11 and 3 correct? (Do I remember the times correctly?)
Aye! 11 and 3!!
Hail everyone,
I have a slight correction to make about my trip to GA and Tenn over the May 2-3rd weekend. I will be attending the Tennessee faire on Saturday instead of Sunday and the GA faire on Sunday instead of Saturday. This is how my good friends I am staying with usually do it so I wanted to correct it on here for all attending so we can still meet up. So, Please let me know if this changes things for some of you in getting together. 16 days and counting... HUZZAH!!!
Sir Clisto
You know we will be there "in Spirit", so have a toast to us, and one to my Daddy! We love you all and hope to see you in Tennessee.
Pub doesn't open until 12 on Sunday. Should we push the toast back an hour Sunday only? peddlin, you'll be missed.
This FoCM shall be happy to toast on Sunday at any hour! Huzzah!
Peddlin, you know we will! Much love to you!!
And yes, i think we can push back the toast till 12 on Sunday. ;)

Sorry guys (and gals), the pub doesn't open til 12:30 on Sunday.
Oh, and Count -
Congratulations on the new ride! Wheels are definitely a good thing.
Thanks to a change in plans, I shall see you all tomorrow (assuming I rack out soon so I can be on the road by 3).
Hated that a call late Saturday night required me to head back to Fla early this morning, but I had a great time with everyone. Thank you!
