Welcome, Mistress! It's nice to see a new face on this forum.
Care to tell us a bit about yourself and/or your character?
Thank you for the kind welcome! I am Asha (Sarah to everyone not ren-fair associated ;) ) I was so excited to find this forum so I can get to know some of the people I see around Larkspurshire every year! I have been attending with my husband Hanz (Cory to everyone else) for the past 4 summers (we attend at least 3 times every year) and LOVE every second of it. We love doing everything from watching all the amazing performances, to drinking and eating, and can even be seen battling the monks in chess from time to time ;D Hopefully we will see some of you around this summer and can make some new friends!
You will be seeing me standing off to the side of the big cat show keeping people back from the cute kitties
Welcome again, Mistress Asha!
As you know, there is a healthy group of "regulars" in Larkspurshire, and getting to know them doubles or trebles the pleasure of attending Faire.
My wife and I are on cast as the Duke and Duchess of Norfolk. In this role I am uncle to the queen, the father of the Earl of Surrey, godfather to Prince Edward and Earl Marshal of the Joust. The Duchess is godmother to Princess Elizabeth.
If you will post on this forum when you will be attending Faire, we'll keep an eye out for you. But, if we fail to spot you, please do approach us and introduce yourselves.
Watches ou'st fur thy Duke and Duchess... thy be overly nice andz kind. Andz you knows whats thy say's 'bout nice royals? They are up to somethin no goods. :-)
My lord Toki and I used to visit every weekend now visit usually 4 times a year always on Saturdays,We did a year as Vol royal cast, found it did not fit us, so now we just play. Be it royals, courtesan, or pirate (I'm a very noble pirate if there be such a thing)
Find us if you may. The Mistress Charlotte (Face painter to the left after entering gate) Can tell you if we are there as she is always a 1st stop. The Duke and Duchess can usually tell you too as we are easy to spot... most times, just hard to find as we wonder about
See you at faire, or hope we do. Until then, Faire thee well
Happy "double digit day" to one and all!
99 days hence, we shall gather once again inside the gates of Larkspurshire!
For once, I don't quite mind the wait so much ... I have entirely too much to get done!

Ready or not, here it comes! ;D
Don't look now, Lords and Ladies, but we are down to
80 Days
'til canon!
Perhaps this will be the year I get to drag the husband down. He has the kilt and therefore has no excuse not to wear it.
Ooh, and I have forgotten that I have new garb this year as well, a purchase from Santa Fe last year. I'm finally going Noble--ish, I'll be lady in waiting to the Duchesse du Gasgon. Huzzah!
Scarborough's opening weekend has passed. I'm gettin' excited for Colorado!

...and we didn't have any Larkspurshire citizens this time. Missed having you on a FABULOUS opening weekend!
I'm thinking that here is as good a place to post as any, just wanted to say I look forward to seeing everyone again this year! Last year was my first time out there and I really enjoyed the faire and all of the people there. I will be out June 29-30(Celtic weekend) and July27-28(Music and Dance weekend). I look forward to seeing everyone out there. It at least is nice that we are currently doing our own home faire right now anyway!
And good lord, it's coming up fast!!
Are we there yet? Are we there yet?

No, but you can see it from here... ;D

I won't be there for celtic weekend but i will be there for the other weekend you plan to come. You will find me standing to the side of the rose stage during the cat show keeping an eye on the idiot people so they don't get hurt.
Unfortunately, Lord Gauwyn and Lady Addilay will not be progressing to Larkspurshire this year. We will be going the opposite road to Door County (invited guests). We shall hopefully see some of you at rendezvous.

Not quite, M'Lady, but 'tis a mere thirty days hence.
I am getting very very excited to be attending CoRF for the first time. Ian Maxwell and I will be attending one day of the second weekend but not sure which at the time (I don't fly in until the Friday afternoon) and most certainly we will be there all of Celtic weekend.
I look forward to meeting many of you who I only know by name. Although I don't have an R/F pin, I am sure you will all be able to spot the pale Canadian wandering around in wonder on the arm of my delightful Scot.
I look forward to seeing everyone again this year! Sorry that I wont be seeing you and your lovely wife and son again this year Lord Gauwyn. :'( You'll be much missed... I'll make sure to stop by and find you sometime Francisco Paula!

;D
3 weeks what?
Surely you jest, LD! 3 weeks until opening canon, of course.
But, at which faire?!? :o
I'll give you just one hint, Wizard: It is posted on the Colorado thread. Does that help?
Just making sure you knew, Norfolk... 8)
I want to come back...it won't be this season, tho'.
Of course, of course you were, Merlin. ::)
Nonetheless, we are most happy to see you and your lovely spouse in our high-altitude shire any time.
Getting close! Our plans are in place, reservations made, now the time just needs to get here. We're really looking forward to CRF and the opportunity to meet some of you good folks.
Anyone on here figure out days till opening using rennie math?
My figures: Today doesn't count (it's already started), Saturday/Sundays don't really count (just cuz), the Friday prior to opening day never counts (most are already in the area, just waiting for the gate to open).
By my calculations, it looks like 10 days till opening day at CRF!!
I'll be there!! :D I can't WAIT to see all of you again!! :D
So as it happens, I have opening day off from work. After visiting Scarby this past weekend, I am finding myself getting SUPER pumped for CRF. Only problem is, my lovely lady is stuck at work that whole weekend, with apparently no way of getting it off, and I know she'll flay me alive if I visit the festival for the first time of the season without her. Decisions, decisions...

You want to live forever, Jack? C'mon out and play!
You never truly know if she will flay you alive until you come to faire without her....
You guys are about as helpful as... as an... unhelpful... thing. :P
Doooooo iiiiiiiiiit....is the peer pressure setting in yet?
If you do how much do you plan to pay me not to tell sarah?
Pssshhhht, like she wouldn't find out anyway :P
She has... ways...
Some bloody pirate YOU are... ???
So who else will be at the faire grounds on sunday the 9th? I will be there to get my badge and my schedule for working the cat show

The Duchess and I will be ... along with the rest of the cast and nearly all of the boothies.

I'm a pirate - not a ninja :P
We will be there on the 9th. We have been working on the booth for the past 4 days! A nice new coat of paint and some other work that has been needing to be done.

The Duchess and I wandered by during our lunch break last Sunday, and found your booth looking quite spiffy.
;)
Captain Jack is a good pirate but the Blond temptress is a better pirate
Wander by on saturday, it is going to look even better ;D We've been putting alot of work into it.
Closer and closer ...
I should mention that I am still moving slowly and carefully ... my new knee still does not like uneven ground.
Just saw the first commercial! Almost there!
ONE WEEK!!!!
Better get all the garb washed and ready...yippee!!!
We can count the days on one hand now!!! For me, the work week seems to just fly by, so, hey, I'm already there! Woo Hoo!
To all and sundry: I recommend you get there in time to watch the gate show. It is a hoot this year!
Lords and Ladies, goode gentles all, I bid thee a restful eve, for we shall awake to my favorite day of the entire year!
IT'S HERE AT LAST!!!!
We shall see ye upon the morrow!
That was fun! Let's do that again!
