What calender you using there Fig?

Well I used a count down clock on the first post at http://www.7is7.com/otto/countdclock.html, I entered in the date. The last posting on the days and such was from me clicking the link, but I must have copied the numbers from the wrong parts. The numbers probably were supposed to read:
51 days
18 hours
27 minutes
46 seconds
At least on that date. Now however it would read:
49 days
23 hours

I don't know if anyone has posted this but the Schedule is up at royal faires dot com :) A new act that I think everyone will enjoy is Wine and Alchemy. It's Mark Varelas from E Muzeki fame. I saw them up in Michigan over Labor Day weekend and I don't think anyone will be disappointed. Their music beautiful and passionate! You'll love it :)
They have a few new acts it would appear then.

A milestone! We are down to the "teens", Nineteen days to First Cannon of the year! :D
I made a dry run of sorts Saturday morning. After my morning jog, I had some extra time so I jumped in my car and headed out to Gecko Espresso for a cup of hot chai. The drive was fun heading towards the Superstition Mountains and the sunrise with the clouds was magnificent! I can't wait to begin doing this on a weekly basis :) Am I right? Who's with me :)

I will post here and let others know where to find me.

Hi all,
I wrote this a few years ago for my myspace blog page. I thought I would share it. I hope it makes you chuckle a little and I certainly hope it doesn't offend anyone :)
TOP 10 TIPS FOR FIRST TIMERS AND NEWBIES!
Or, "Is that a Turkey Leg in your pants or are you just happy to see me..." by Irregular Joe
It's that time of year again. Time to blow the dust off of this old gem and repost. Enjoy :o)
First and foremost (hithertofore in roman numerals), if you have never been to a festival, you're either going to love it or hate it. If you hate it, just leave, don't stick around and be a weenie, there's a tractor pull or yard sale very close by I'm sure. If you're not sure right away, slam two beers and a glass of mead. It will enhance the rest of your experience and may just loosen your arse up enough to enjoy the rest of it. If you do enjoy it or just plain fall in love with it, my condolences to you and your Visa Gold Card. Both of you will be spent by the end of the day (and you have to come back tomorrow).
IInd, this is a Renaissance Festival. So don't get all butt hurt if mud gets flung on you at the Wild Men show or a falcon poops on your head. And it's not church so please; don't get the angry (or scarlet arse) when Mike at Vegetable Justice tells you why there are tomato seeds in your sister's bed or that with your baseball hat on backwards you look like Darth Vader's wiener :)
IIIrd, it's a Renaissance Festival, not a costume party. I've watched a few Renaissance and Medieval era movies in my time and I don't recall seeing Spock, a storm trooper, Austin Powers or Marilyn Manson in any of them. So George Takei, if you are reading this, please leave the Enterprise standard issue uniform at home.
IVth, some of these folks make a decent living. But many of them do not. If you can afford a couple of beers, then you can afford a buck, one lousy stinking dollar, at the end of a show. If not, look for me, I'll give ya one (dollar, not beer).
Vth, as soon as it starts to sprinkle, even a little, run like hell to your car and get away as fast as you can! It will flood and you will be up to your knees in Arizona quick sand! Ok, that's a bold faced lie and absolutely for my own benefit. But usually when all of you mundanes leave, it leaves the rest of the Festival day just for us in garb and that's pretty cool.
VIth, buy some garb. Would you go to the Oscars in jeans or would you wear a tux? Well then, dress appropriately! I have some really fantastic pictures I've taken of some really great people at the festival. But sir, you in the Raiders shirt, khaki shorts, flip-flops, Oakley sunglasses with zinc cream on your nose and the other fifty people just like you in the shot are ruining the Kodak moment.
VIIth, now that you just bought some garb, lose the sunglasses.
VIIIth, I know that we are technically outside. But do you mind not burning a smoke while sitting right next to others at a show? The world is your ashtray here. Just step away from the show a few yards. I appreciate it. And we all appreciate it if you put your smoke completely out and then put it in the trash. I don't step on what's left of my Fysh n Chyps and leave it on the ground, it goes in the trash. And so should your roach.
IXth, The gates open at 10:00 so if you get stuck on the 60 at 1:00, start earlier next time (I can give you a wake up call when I get to the parking lot at 9:30).
Xth and lastly, If reading this does indeed give you the scarlet arse, stay away from Vegetable Justice :o) It's not for the easily offended or tomato lovers :o)
I hope this doesn't make me sound like a Renaissnob...
I'll be writing a section called "How to do the Arizona Renaissance Festival for Under $100.00 a Day", that is, just as soon as I can figure out how to do it myself...
HUZZAH!!!
Well said, indeed!
Joe that's some funny stuff!
Lady Isabella...how good it is to see you pokin around again, can't wait to see you again!! BTW are you on facebook by chance?
If you look for me I'm listed as Scott Parker
