By the looks of it at present, I'll be there alone. . . . SO LET'S PARTY!

My room is set for the weekend and I dusted off m'Black Fox outfit (found $10 in the pocket).

I'd say that was a good omen!  Excellent!  We'll look for just you then.  Now to garb or not to garb...hmmm?  I usually don't but if you'll be taking pics for your new mag, I may just have to.  Will have to give this much thought.

Yep...believe it or not.  After becoming a mother, going in garb and having to deal with the kidlets is just too much for me.  Also this marks my 20th year of walking through the gates at NYRF and I did many many years of going in garb.  I kinda' like just going in civvies.

20 years? Wow! Congrats and Huzzah! I personally have only been once. Last year was my first year ever at faire. It was far better than I could have expected and I really can't wait for this year. But 20 years. Most definate congrats!

I actually ended up not going on Opening day afterall.  We got about 20 minutes away and decided that the rain (should it have stopped) still would have made for a miserable day with us and our daughters (especially for our stroller...not fun pushing that thing around in the mud).  So we'll use our tickets for another day in the season.  *sigh*

Sorry you didn't make it luv. . .we had three shots of harsh rain which lasted about 1/2 hour apiece. . .by 1pm, the sun was out. . it spitted and sputtered a bit the rest of the day, but it actually was fun.  The storms made many of us bunch up with complete strangers and new friends were made. . . we Rennies are a wonderful lot, m'thinks.  Sunday had a few spits of rain but was gorgeous, non-humid, and in the low, comfortable 80s.  In all, I shot over 430 photos . . .more than enough to create a grand photo-fest in the autumn Faire Magazine!

I can't wait for your mag (I am a subscriber you know -  ;) ) to come out in the fall!  I'm hoping to make it up to NYRF in September now sometime.

But I'm sure I'll see you either at PARF or MDRF soon enough, yes?
