how might a fae wrap up in warmth without smooshing or ripping off her wings?
Title: Re: TRF 2010 Eighth Weekend (Celtic Christmas) Weather Forecast
Post by: Rani Zemirah on November 16, 2010, 10:13:34 PM
Fae must have cloaks that have openings for wings... or else wind long lengths of warm cloth around themselves... or perhaps they might even wear lots of warm layers under their not-so-warm outer layers,,,


Unless, of course, they are able to make VERY large wishes, and turn themselves into humans for the day... ;)

A Fae who wanted a bit more warmth might look for something like these (http://www.hottopic.com/hottopic/Accessories/Hosiery/Watercolor-Landscape-Tights-175609.jsp) to wrap her legs in...

I'm so amused right now as that's the weekend I'm planning to visit (from Maryland). I showed the forecast to my Texas friend I'll be going with and I was like, "ooh, nice weather!" and she was like, "are you kidding? that's COLD!"

The only thing I own from Moresca is a set of laces I bought there last year... for a total of $2.  It's what I could afford, but hey... they're Moresca, right?!?  :D 

Someday...


And, mmmmm... Apfelkorn!

tough yes we can handle a bright sunny day 85-100,  about 80-90 % humidity, a good hat and lots of water problem taken care of

but I am a transplanted texan; I did not go back to Western Washington for two reason

1. I did not like the next socialist welfare state government  (( waaaaa )  thanks californians for ruining home)
2.  I prefer to Tan, not rust, and grow webbing between my toes

Temps in the 50s seems pretty close to perfect for faire, but I'm one of those that doesn't stop sweating until the temperature gets below 65.  When our son from NYC comes to visit in December, we have to turn the heat up in the house, raising it up to about 66 or so.

Well, chilly weather is an ideal excuse for finding a tent-mate... which can keep things nice and toasty at night.  ;) 

I'd be interested, myself, in hearing about these methods of keeping things warm whilst wearing the kilt, though...  :D

Oh, and I'm certainly not averse to the occasional Rusty Nail! (just so long as it's only one or two, since I understand that too many can make you lose track of the things you've done that day...)  :o  heheh

A highland drink 3 parts scotch single malt (I use 18 year old) and 1 part Drambuie (drambuie is spiced Scotch Wiskey) so in a way a rusty nail is scotch with more scotch and some spices.  sure to keep you warm.

Rani I've heard that me own self by think its one of those low land stories, couldn't me proving it by me.  Thats me story and I'm staying with it.   8)

Cana come by the camp Friday or Sat and we will talk about how to keep warm in a kilt  ;)

Yes... that is the time frame I was referring to...  :P

But you know, Fraser... you don't HAVE to do the shot WITH everyone you pour them for!  :D  If you just make a bunch all at once then you can take a shot along with lots of folks!  It's supposed to be... one for me and one for all of you.  NOT... one for me, one for you, another one for me, one for you over there, more for me, one for someone...somewhere... LOTS of me, uhhh, FOR me... for somebody...

Well, you get the picture.  ;)  LOLOL

Merlin, there's always RenDezvous!  You could make an effort to get to OKRF, as well, although it's not quite the same experience as TRF... and I know hardly anyone there, as opposed to the scores of folks I've met who frequent the TX Faires. 

I'm hoping to talk a bunch of R/Fer's into invading OKRF (the Castle at Muskogee) this coming season, btw...  ;)

Rani, I have been to The Castle and I really enjoyed that faire.  I would love to try and make a trip to it again.  Have to see what is in the cards for us.  I know they have participant/vendor camping and I think someone said there is playtron camping as well, but not sure.  Do you know if there is camping for playtrons?

That would be awesome, Bonny!  Unfortunately, there is no playtron/patron camping, although there are campgrounds within 15/20 minutes of the site, if my info is correct.  I know nothing about them, though, and I've been having trouble finding much at all about the camping scene from anyone on the Faire's fb page...  There's just not the same kind of Rennie network here as I've found in other places, which is sad...  :(

Tink, we haven't even made any favors this year, although I had plans for some.  As usual, though, things have happened (like unscheduled dental visits and the PLAGUE) to keep me from finishing half the things I've started, and I fully plan to spend the next day and a half in a drug induced haze while the bruising in my jaw fades and the ice-pick in my brain is being removed... so I doubt we'll have any favors this year... but I know a certain pirate hat that just won't ever be complete without a Fairy favor!  ;)  heheh

I'll be there Saturday!

Also, I made a trip down to OKRF last year and loved it. I kept an eye out for camp grounds and you're right Rani, there are some close by, but alas, I don't know much else :( Muskogee is also a small town, my boyfriend and I stayed in a motel room next to another ren couple. It was a nice get away!

One thing I loved about OKRF was the coins they used as tender. You'd pay with cash and a vendor would (sometimes) give you your change in coins with value of 1, 2, 5, and 10 'pounds'. Here's a post I made a while ago about them - http://www.renaissancefestival.com/forums/index.php?topic=12052.0 it was a great time :)

I think it would be fun to invade one of the campgrounds and have a nice R/F Rennie enclave for after Faire, and all set off for Faire at roughly the same time of morning!  Hmmm... this needs some thought.  ;)

Don't worry about being shy.  I'm a performer and I'm still shy about going up to R/F people and saying hello.

The Baroness reports a bad case of "Christmas Stomach" as she finishes packing for our flight south on the morrow.  Having skipped last season, I'm a bit excited myself.    ;D

Now, seeing that the weather guessers still predict coolish days on Friday and Saturday, we were wondering where you think the best (and hottest) cafe mocha in the shire is to be had?

Thank you, ladies, for the info on hot cafe mocha.  After standing out front for an hour, we'll be ready.

By the by, temperatures in the 50's and 60's are considered summer weather for us Coloradans.  (It's 8 degrees above zero as I type this message.  Mild for this time of year.)

The Baroness and I are looking VERY much forward to joining ya'll (did I say that right?) this weekend.

Well, the temp just dropped 20 degrees here in about 40 minutes... the time it takes me to drive from my mom's house to my own. It was 63 when I left, and 43 by the time I got here, and the wind is hitting about 25 mph, with gusts up to 40 mph.  It's supposed to start raining any time, and freeze hard by morning.  Awfully glad I won't be here for it!!!  

Why?  Because I'll be at FAIRE!!!  WewT!!!
