Title: Official Announcement - Rendezvous 2014
Post by: DeadBishop on October 22, 2013, 10:14:22 AM
It is with great merriment and enthusiasm that today I announce the location for Renaissancefestival.com's 2014 Rendezvous!

And the location is...

Bay Area Renaissance Festival!

BARF was chosen to be the next location and will be headed up by none other than Lairde Guardn and company!

The next Rendezvous will be coming a little quicker on the the heels of 2013's gathering! Usually we try to spread out gatherings a little more over the calendar year, but plans just don't always fit in a nice tidy box like we'd like them too.  ;)  None the less, it will be a great gathering to be sure! 

HUZZAH!

Thank you, Deadbishop!  I can promise you a memorable Rendezvous! 

Now, can I get a head count?

This is one Rendezvous I can make. Count me in! :)

That will be me and my mini-Wenchie. 


Hoping Athena comes too!

 That would be cool,  if I can swing it.  I have enough  family to visit in  Florida that I could maybe combine it to justify the cost.

Alas, I have a previous engagement that weekend.  Rolla, MO's 107th (I think) Best Ever St Pat's Celebration.  I hope you have as much fun with yours as we did with ours in KC!

Shoot me a message with an address so I can send the banner to you!

We would like to try and make this!  If we can find some place to pitch the tent, perhaps...  It will be spring break for us, so it's a definite possibility!

Week prior to Spring Break is a tough time to get time off at the Uni. Our department is in the height of its recruiting interview and selection process right then, and I won't have sufficient time off accrued by then anyway. I won't fly anymore, and that would be 4 days off for travel.

Post by: Lairde Guardn on October 23, 2013, 11:19:53 PM
Hopefully everyone that can make it will, and those that think they can not, maybe by the time of the Rendevous the situation may change and you will be able to make it.    I have missed the last few, and am looking forward to seeing everyone at the 2014 event.

It's looking like we'll probably be heading to TX during this, instead.  Maybe another time, when it's a bit closer to us.

Though we're still only in the planning stages, Seamus and I are quite excited about hosting this event -- Our very own inn, Rogue Haven, is already booked solid for the weekend!! Not even floor space remains!  :P

Look for details about the Friday night meet and greet coming very soon. We hope to give you a (literal) taste of Florida (and Cuba thanks to Tampa's wonderful heritage) and plan to ensure that our guests have an enjoyable (and affordable) evening.

We understand how taxing travel can be both physically and on your wallet. Do not hesitate to contact me or any other BARF locals with questions about how to make this trip more affordable!

We cannot wait to welcome you to Florida and the Bay Area Renaissance Festival!

Seeing as I was already going to be there for a different event, count me in; but you already knew that.

Truck is leaving Maryland after work Thursday and heading south thru the night.  Seamus, have breakfast ready for us.  ;-)

Your reservation is confirmed, Sir. Breakfast will be available Friday morning. Please be aware that it will be bacon heavy and contain many calories. Beer would pair well. :) xoxo

P.S. Bring air mattresses again! :)

Don't miss out on what could be the greatest Renaissance Faire Gathering of all time. On the weekend of 14, 15 & 16 March 2014, The RF.com group will be holding its RenDevous at the Bay Area Renaissance Faire in Tampa, FL. That same weekend there will be the 2nd National Family Gathering of the Irish Penny Brigade, St Molden's Day Group, a reunion of the Ettes & Teers, a call for the long lost RennFaire Chasers to meet, with invasions planned by members of the DoRT's, the Dandys and the Otters. There are also invitations out to several other groups to see if they could coordinate their invasions to coincide with this grand event. If you have not received an invite as of yet, and would like your group to be a part of this Invasion of Invasions please send me a pm.

A committee is working on a central hotel and a schedule to include Meet and Greet on Friday evening, Tailgate on faire mornings and Scavenger hunts, group photos and many other things.

For those Early Birds that would like to take a vacation along with this visit, we have a few things planned for the week leading up to the faire, with an outing to Busch Gardens and a few other things to be listed later.

So check your schedules and get ready.....this is already gearing up to be the Renassance event not to miss.....

I have secured a large number of discount tickets for the low price of $14.95.  I will have them available at Friday night's Meet n Greet and also at Saturday and Sunday tailgates.  Please find me if interested in these tickets.  Gate price is $19.95.  And for those with wee ones, I have secured free child tickets.
