Title: When are the FOPs out playing? Every weekend?
Post by: SleepyArcher on September 07, 2010, 10:47:25 PM
I may be able to make the last weekend and am wondering about when the FOPs are out there. I had to drop my plans for Maryland this year but driving is less expensive. I play a FOP at MNRF.

I have seen our FOPs every weekend I have been there.  There is one in particular who is simply hilarious to talk with!  His name is Leopold.  I really enjoy watching him work, and speaking with him.  Actually, Leopold is one of the people I look forward to seeing at the KCRF!

I've only seen two FOPs at the KCRF.

Good luck!  I hope you make it.  Please tell us when you're coming!

This weekend there was a third FOP in the lanes of Canterbury.  A gentleman by the name of Gaylord.  So, this weekend there was Leopold, Fraderick, and Gaylord.  Perfect gentlemen of court!

There was a FOP for several seasons who was tall, had curly black hair, called human chess I think in 2007 or something. So awesome. Haven't seen him in several seasons, hope he comes back someday!

Yes, that's Gaylord!  Leopold told me he was one of the founding FOPs of Canterbury!  He plays the part well.

I heard there were guest Fops on Sunday the 17th - Lords Austin Tacious & Tim Tacious!  Did anyone get to see them (do you have pictures?)  They sound delish!  ;)

I met them both this past Sunday, 17 Oct!  Lort Austin Tacious is our own Lord Paulet.  His garb was quite superb!  I also met Lort Tim Tacious.  Very nice garb on him as well!

I did not get any photos of either of these fine gentlemen this weekend.  The FOPs were simply elegant for the closing day!  I will miss them.

OH!  And during the parade, Leopold was CARRIED by six gentlemen for the entire parade!  His own magic carpet, I imagine!
