What is this Faire of which you speak? Mayhaps Dwyn and I will have to check it out... ;)
You KNOW we will be there...with bells on, of course!
I will surely be making the journey, and I believe several other Pittsburgh folks will be there as well! Anxious to see you all!
I'll be there both days!
I will be there!!!!! So need life to get back to normal....can't wait.
Will there be a Friday night gathering? If anyone is interested, I would be happy to orchestrate that :)
Ewan and I aren't coming until Sat morn - and will prolly barely make gate, so a Friday night is out for us.
Put down a couple more fer yer list. Can you say tailgate?
Jessi & I will be there for at least Saturday, Sunday if the work gods are willing. I'm up for a Friday night get together or even a Saturday after Faire dinner.
Thorne and I will be there for the weekend. See you all at Tailgait, can't wait ;)
Greetings,
Please let me know if there are plans for Friday nite on opening weekend. Both Princess Emma and I could attend, since we are local to the GLMF.
Sir Michael of Mentor
Ok...so Friday night or Saturday after Faire? I am good with either one or both. Sunday is up in the air for me now as well.
Is that Chop House place still there??? That's where we were last year...
Should I create a separate thread for this? So excited....
Yes, a separate thread for Friday night would work best as we can't edit each other's posts.
Britny and I will be there of course.
Between work
yard work
car repairs
and paperwork
I haven't really had a chance to get in the faire frame of mind.
Heck, haven't even been up for site clean-up.
I soooo can't wait.
I am going through my garb today......purge purge purge.....
With everything that has gone on in the last 8-9 months and more specifically the last week....I need this Faire, need my life back.
These next few weeks will be so hard....the waiting.
Be well all...
with out a doubt i will be there...
room is booked...
So good to see friends preparing to gather once again! I will be attending both days, with Black Matt & Rhiannon-the-Pink as well.
It has been a l-o-n-g winter. Can't wait to see everyone again!
Well folks, best plan on enjoying "tasty beverages" either before or after Faire as we've just found out that the Pubs will NOT be opened for this season...and knowing what a bunch of fargin' iceholes the Trustee's have been...I'd be very, very careful about "Tailgates" or BYOB-ing at Faire this year since they could have the constabulary circling like a bunch of buzzards. It amazes me that it only takes a very few unhappy, frustrated and lonely people to mess with what the rest of us view as our break from the world of dealiing with unhappy, frustrated lonely people...
The sum of a Faire is NOT alcohol, I totally believe that...it's about friends and Faire family and sharing time and laughter and love, so I truly hope this does not put off anyone from coming...just thought you should all know before time and plan accordingly.
Looking forward in seeing you all this Season!
I will be there regardless and if I could I would be there every weekend of that lovely Faire to support it in any way. Sure, I like a bit of the spirits, but really, as you said Capt. Morgan, it is the people, the atmosphere.
I just don't understand how people get away with this behaviour, how does one get so set on a negative path that their entire focus is on destroying something beautiful? What an evil, sad man to have this vendetta poisoning him.
So if we have a tailgate with juice, pop and water will they outlaw that too?
EPIC FAIL.
Sooo....are the trustees going to use taxpayer money to bust patrons for open containers in the parking lot? ::)
I agree, faire is not about the alcohol, and I'm going to support GLMF no mater what. I'm just so frakkin' tired of the drama, though; and the unbelievably CORRUPT politicians that somehow (hmmmmm) keep getting reelected. WTF is going on in Trumbull TWP, is it something in the water?
I go to other faires and see how much the surrounding communities support them, then come home to this crap. It's incredibly sad and frustrating.
We could gather in a circle at the Front Gates like those stalwart Who's in Whoville and begin singing so the Trustee's can hear that they didn't stop Faire from coming..it came...oh how it came!!
Dah who dor-aze! Dah who dor-aze! Welcome Great Lakes Opening Day!
;)

Don't think that will be an issue.
Because of budget issues, Ashtabula County only has 1 partrol car for the entire county.
2 deputies in the 1 car, all other police staff are at the jail, the rest were laid off back in the spring.

Hi all,
Several things to look at, this is only my opinion since I work in Law Enforcement for a living:
1. GLMF is on private property - so no open container laws under Ohio Revised Code - they can't stop you from drinking. Caution going home on the roads however, if you are over the legal limit of .08 BAC in ohio
2. We do have to be careful, if drinking not to act stupid or else the police could get you on drunk & disorderly. Never get in the cops face or argue with them, this could be obstruction of justice or resisting arrest. Be the fine upstanding people I know you all to be. The trustee's want us to act out and look stupid. Last years press did put some heat on them. The COunty is in no position to help the trustee's on this fight.
3. The biggest thing is to just have fun and don't worry about what the trustee's are up too...They are trying to use this to intimidate us. The faire does not go out of business by having the pubs closed. We can't go half cocked, and start issues ourselves.
See you all on opening weekend...let's make it the best faire in years.
Sir Michael of Mentor
Many thanks Sir Michael...Tis good advice.
We will adapt...We will still have fun...We will still Toast each other, absent friends etc., and still raise a pint or two at the shows.
Lets put the Drama aside, come out and support the faire and the entertainment, and vendors. Put that extra $20 or 30 (ok more like 50 or 60) that you would have spent on beer into a hat or on a new piece of garb.
Lets show those corrupt corpulent Bastards that we will Not be oppressed. Viva la Great Lakes
You can add Mumsies and the Mr. to your opening weekend list, along with 4 rennies in training. Got our season passes ordered and the motel room booked. Feels like it's been forever, can't wait to be back in the shire!
As for the drama, a good friend once said to me that our "faire family makes magic where ever we gather" , so let the magic begin.
And they say magic isn't real! They just haven't spent time with people like you. Can't wait to see our friend from Pa. Oh... and "Let the training begin!" Decour my friend is Syrac in tow with you for this trip?
Yes? What about the "Nevers oh-so silent before" Syrac? Scarlett? Morwyn? List updated. Mundania has thrown us a curve, but be there we will, though it will now be a middle-of-the-night mad dash through WVA rather than a nice leisurely tour.
Yippee - mundania gave me a break! I'll be able to make a more leisurely trip to faire and not have to be back at work until Wed...... Yahooo!
But - still waiting to hear from Syrac, Scarlett and Morywn....

I thought I heard my name mentioned...LOL. Alas, I shall not be there opening day. My son was invited to a birthday party for his best Star Wars pal and it cannot be missed. In fact, my faire attendance will be quite limited this season due to scout activities with the boy.
However, I shall try to make it on Sunday. Fingers crossed.....
The Lady Catharine Hampton of Cornwall shall
be attendance..Both Days~~
I will be there both days also! Although it will be saturday around 1 because I have to work! BOO!
But I have a room booked for saturday night so lets see if people can get together that night too!
