See... we needed someone that puts in ALL the dates at once... unlike me lol
At the moment, the Lovely Lady Trinn and I shall be attending opening and closing weekends and staying at the super 8
(can this thread be made as a sticky thread?)
Can't wait for Scarby!
TRF just ended 2 weeks ago and I am already having withdrawals...
*rum and gatherings are helping at least*
i plan on bieng to all of them. i'll let you know if i can't make it out for what ever reason.
Nicolas-Antoine or one of the other mods will sticky it for me, I believe. I don't have the power to do that!
It'll be here before we know it, and hey there is Four Winds before then. That's closer to me than you though.
Opening & Closing for Ally and Me.
Opening weekend both days for sure and maybe closing if I can.
Definitely opening weekend for me (both days), possibly others but I'm not sure yet.
Every Saturday for Don Juan and I.
I'm in for opening and closing for sure. I'll likely make it for the Highland weekend, but that's in the air for now. Hey, Teach, where's that Super 8 you've spoken about? If I'm thinking right, it's right there on 35, but time fades the memory. It's got to be cheaper than the big new one I stayed in last year. Lemme know.
I'm in for opening, probably closing and maybe one or two in the middle. Who's blocking out our rooms at the Super 8?
I think I just reserved the last room in the house for opening weekend, but I can be convinced to share for the right inducement...... ::)
Zaubon: PapaGnome will be setting up a block of rooms for opening weekend after the first of the year for the Drunken Gnomes if McLotofus (and anyone else) wants to go in on the group rate. The manager requested that he wait until then to set up the block of rooms. Just send him a renmail and you'll be on the list. Once it is set up, then you call in to reserve your room personally using the group info we are given. After opening weekend, someone else will need to step up to set the group rate thing going.
MacLaren: Yes it is the one on 35. The number is: 972-938-9088. After last year that is definitely our hotel of choice from now on.
*I wonder if I can get a group rate on some rum...*
Will be there rain, shine, SNOW, bright, or hot weather.
Looking forward to seeing everyone there!!

On cast again, madam?
I plan on being out there every day this season. So unless something unexected happens, I'm so there.
I also plan on being there cannon to cannon every day the faire is open.
I'm in for every day cannon to cannon. If I am working, it will be for The Rogues, but that's undecided this far in advance.
every weekend with the QOH and Royal Highlanders
The plans will firm up more as we get closer, but I know I'll be there Opening both days and Closing all three days. Hopefully, will squeeze in one or two more in between if the finances permit.
Hubby and I will be attending for 3 weekends at least. Hopefully at least one of us will have the FoF pass, for parking purposes LOL.
Count us in for opening, closing, and the weekend of April 25/26th for my BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION!!!!! (Ottheinrich and Guinny should be there too, for they as well are celebrating their Natal Days)
I've not made any decisions yet, but I think April 25-26 will be one weekend and Pirate weekend will be the other. I think I may forgo the season pass this year as I won't be able to come up nearly as often. I guess it depends on how much it costs.
...I take that back, I may still do a season pass if I'll be up the 4 days. ($10 less to have a season pass)
We are looking to attend opening weekend for sure. Not set yet on any additional weekends yet.

You bet! Should be a fantastic year!
Not set in stone. But I am going to try and attend the ASL weekend. But it might end up being any weekend.
Don't know that I am officially on this roll (newbie here on this list). I plan on being there at least on the opening weekend. Hopefully in garb. :)

Mast Hugger Kate and I will try and be there every Sat. next season

Welcome and sure you will be on "The List"
i should be there every Sat... not sure about sundays yet
Cowgrrl & I & kids will be there almost every Saturday & some Sundays. The only firm dates are the first 2 Saturdays & closing weekend. We'll post more when we know it. I'm sure I'll be drumming for the dancers at Bellydance Treasures several times.
I'll be up for whichever weekend will be the Drunken Gnome invasion. Staying in whichever motel gets selected to be graced by our presence.
That would be opening weekend at the Super 8 Mike.
Details haven't been posted, but that's pretty much the plan.
*I believe there is also a plan to make sure everyone buys me rum but I have no confirmation as yet*
I'm a newbie here. I had the pleasure of meeting DonaCatalina at TRF and she told me about this site. My husband and I will be there for both days opening weekend, all 3 days closing weekend, and Saturdays every weekend between. Hope to meet lots of new friends this year. :)

Welcome, welcome!
Look for us bright and early on opening day. ;D
I'll be there all 8 weekends both Sat. and Sun. as well as the Friends of Faire preview.
well kids, as the way things are looking, i'll also be celebrating my b-day/mead opening party opening weekend as well. for those that want to come and play, keep an eye out here o this thread and i'll let you know what the deal is.
roll call already? geez. well, hopefully i'll be getting a FoF pass soon. i'll need all the scarby i can get seeing how i missed out on TRF completely this year.. boo.

I thought the same thing, bit early. I'll be there most weekends, I can't commit to something still so far away. Opening weekend for sure. Running a business takes away the fun sometimes, but, most weekends for sure.
Aye, I will agree it is early. But I was asked to start it up just because people are needing to make plans ahead of time.
No worries, if you can't say when right now, I promise this thread will be alive and kicking for the next couple months prior to faire! ;D
I will definitely be out on opening and closing weekend. The others will be last minute decisions, it just all depends on how busy I am with schoolwork. And maybe this year I'll actually come introduce myself. Since I'm a big chicken, I haven't in the past. :(

Aw, well, if you get an avatar so that we know what you look like, then we'll help that fear. Everyone is friendly and I know of many forum members that make a point of meeting our newer members.

Just ask Element of Air about the first time I recognized her! ^.^

It all depends on the mood and situation, my dear!! All things are relative, and must be judged on the move.......
Any more vague-ness needed? ;D

Never enough to prevent enjoyment, for at leaset one of us.
Now you two!! We don't want to scare the newcomers...........OFF!! First ,let them come in and be accepted ,as we all were once, THEN we draw straws as to who bites first!! Oh by the way, SandrineDeLaTomb, Welcome to the Forums!!!!
Thats ok. I bite back :P
The best ones always do..... ::)
Just know that now I'm expecting bites, so make good on the threats. :) And I lied, I forgot I will probably be in Florida the first weekend of April for my father's 50th birthday. So I will definitely be out the second weekend then.
*note to self.....schedule for the second weekend as well.....bites needed....*
I still say we draw straws for whoever shows up!!!
Ok, whose bringing the straws??
I am planning on trying to attend for opening weekend, as long as life doesn't get in the way.
I'll bring the straws!
*carefully begins 'rigging' a package of straws*
What? ;)
Plan on being there at least every other Saturday, more if work allows. I have printed out my friends of fair pass.

Is bruising ok or not?? ???
Just want to make sure what I'm getting myself into.
Let's try and get back on topic to what the thread is meant for. Thanks folks.
I'm in for opening and closing, possibly the second weekend and/or Highland Fling. Those are in the air at the moment.
As for the other....don't bruise anything critically....
Flirting is fun isn't it?!
My hubby Marcus MacLaren and I plan to attend on Saturdays of opening weekend, Highland Games, and Renaissance Romance, the ways things look now. I had a Faire dream last night, and the anticipation of the 2009 season is beginning!
Lady Morna
I'm looking at being there opening weekend, I don't know if I will try to camp at lake bardwell or get a motel!
I would like to be there every weekend, actually I would like to be there this weekend...could they mayhaps open the gates and just let us roam the grounds!!?? But, since there are only the weekends in April and May...
Ryk O'Shay and his lovely lady Sherree will be there opening day Saturday, the following weekend 4/11 on Saturday only, then on the 18th and 19th (if that is Highland weekend) and staying at one of the local Inns, Ryk Rakham and his pirate wench Jezz the Belle will be there for Pirate Invasion weekend all weekend and closing weekend all three days and staying at an Inn. We will mix in another day or two (perhaps Mothers Day Saturday) along the way.
Can't wait to see you all, and meet some new friends. See you at the Faire....the 4th of April can't come fast enough.
Sir Marcus and I are planning opening, 4th and closing weekends (all days).
Well, the shop I was planning on working for won't be returning to Scarborough this year, so...I won't be there every day as I planned. Which isn't a bad thing, it was going to be tough working everything out where I got weekends off with me just getting hired at Kroger and everything. But! My father, amazingly enough, has offered to buy me a FoF pass maybe, as an early Christmas present...so. Who knows right now.
Me - as usual pretty much every weekend except for 4th for the high school band trip I chaperone.
By the Grace of God, King Henry VIII will be in attendance for all the days of this season.
Hey, someone has to goose the Queen!
No, it ain't gonna be YOU!
Maybe just once?
Quote from: VIII on January 05, 2009, 12:11:09 PM

Really - I don't think I recall seeing you there before...
Scarby has a king? lol
I recall having seen someone who may have been VIII, but I've never managed to actually visit with him to be sure.
One has to be careful of the royals, one minute they want you working for them as buccaneers and the next the proclaim you as a pirate.

Yes GUARD the rum. They can be very sneaky.
Lord Wayne and myself will be there my b-day weekend. ( Apr. 25 & 26).
Saving my pyrat rum for then. ;D
I'll be there opening weekend (April 3,4,5), staying at the Drunken Gnome reserved block at the Super 8 motel.
I have purchased a Friend of Faire admission. Just what does that get me? I see that it means a reserved parking area and a crashing area within faire, plus two additional tickets.
Dennis (aka Sir Mammerus Snobberificus) and I plan on attending closing weekend, given la vida loca doesn't prevent it. Wouldnt wanna miss Blue's birthday celebration!
Awwww, but Blue's birthday celebration is 4th weekend. That would be April 25th/26th. But we can still party it up for Memorial Day...
Darn it. I guess I just wanted to will it to be the weekend we were going. Drat.
We will be making opening weekend.
*updated to here*
Looks like I managed to change my schedule so that I will have Saturdays off. So if all is well, every Sat. for me!
I plan on being there almost every day, still serving on Queen Margaret's personal guard. Lady Judith will probably be there only one day each weekend. I can hardly wait!
I shall endeavor to attend on April 25th and 26th.

Good da MacDonald looking forward to serving with you again this year. Oh the sacifices we make to serve our good Queen Margaret. Having to be seen escorting beautiful ladies of the court, being asked to dance by the Queen's ladies in waiting, having to share lunch with the beautiful ladies, ask if we mind having our portraits taken with the ladies. Its a good thing we Scots are battle trained to endore such crashing hardships lesser men Englishmen would never survive.
I have No idea when I will be there- but plan on a few weekends. IH 35 is beyond my driving skills- still. I am busy begging rides and will have to board my sick kitty at the vet- but I can't miss Scarby. I have a motel booked- just in case. Guess I'll know more closer to opening.* Peering into Crystal ball! Answer hazy. Ask again later!* LOL!

ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!
not too Eagerly or me good lady wife might notice and then I'd be in real royal trouble.
The lady Kat and her lord Jacob will be there everyweekend, everyday, working. :)
So far, it looks like we will be there both days opening weekend with the whole family, and Ann Marie and I will be there alone on the 24th as well.
It does appear that Martin Montgomery shall be attending opening and closing weekends!! One could only hope that he is able to find friends to escort him when there!! ;)

Oh! Yay!!! You simply must come and watch the Chess Fight!
Or, the Highland Games. I will see you out there!!
I've promised myself that this year I will take one day off Royal Highlander duty to see the chessmatch and other shows in the Holly field I've missed the last couple of season.
Looks like I get to share my birthday weekend with quite a few members. ( Fourth weekend ) ;D

my birthday is the day before the Friends of Faire sneak preview event. i need to hurry and buy my pass! XD
Count me in for opening weekend! Yay! :)
Huzzah!
Please remove me from the list for this season- kthx.
I honestly do not know if I'll be making it to Scarby this year...
As things stand, the Ship's compass points East-North-East toward Charlotte, NC or Huntsville, AL with projected departure in mid-late March. IF by happen-stance I still be in the Texas area, I would make a visit on opening weekend.

I do hope your compass leads to wherever your heart should take you, but I will dearly miss you and hope that you make it out at least once. What will I do without my pirate? :'(
and Blue?! You can't just leave me hanging like that! ???
I'll be vending at Four winds, so take me out until April 25-26.
Thanks Lovely! Aye - indeed me compass be pointin' where me 'eart seeks...closer to Lady Mikayla. 'tis but a matter o' tymin' an opportunity.
Na'er ye worry Darlin' - though there might be a period of absence fer me from Texas, family an' fairemly be here for me t' visit...an' rest assured, me visitses will be tymed around Faireses! ;)
I just ordered my season pass. Now hoping I can get rides there and back for a few weekends!* waving my magick wand!*
Ann Marie and I may not be there on the 24th so we are tentative. We were originally going for Blue's birthday so we may cancel that trip since they are not going to be there. I should be playing fiddle with Wine and Alchemy both days for opening weekend and may sub other weekends so I will keep you posted. Come say hello if I get bogged down there and cannot make the meet and greet.
If I am not at the pub, I am not being antisocial. I have no idea what my schedule will be like yet. See you soon.
I'll be there one day for opening weekend. Not sure if it will be Saturday or Sunday yet.
Well, it's official...Lady Ann of Draycott, Sir Trent and Master Dillon will attending Opening Weekend!!! ;D
I just made our hotel reservation this morning... :P
So far looking like I will be there the 2nd weekend. Hoping for more!
As far as I can tell, I will be there preview weekend, and the first 2 opening weekends. I will also be there for Memorial Day. Everything else is subject to finances and circumstances.
Well...it's official now! I will definately be attending Opening weekend ;D I just booked my room at the Super 8! I can't wait to see you all...it has been way too long!

QuoteVery much so looking forward to meeting you!
I'm looking forward to meeting you too! ;D I have been away from all of my Ren Friends for too long! So...have you found a "piece" of floor to sleep on yet? lol ;)
Hehehe, yes'm, I have, being that I come down on Friday night or not. Things are still up in the air as I'm not sure whether or not I want to drag my horde of friends with me on Saturday morning or just meet them there. Still gotta decide!
Well I am going to have to withdraw my attendance for the first weekend. I will however be attempting the trip for the second weekend with a friend. I might even have my sister along, who is graciously putting us up for the weekend. So see you all then.

Awwww. I dun't wanna but okayyy. Only if I Have to. :(
Count myself and the good Lady Stalkwell in for (at least) opening and closing weekends. We expect to be there at least 3 more in between.
Stalk Well...
Firstly: Hello to all, been away from the board for a while, feels good to be back ;D...
Secondly: Both the Lady April and I will be in attendance every weekend, I am going to try to make every single glorious day of faire again this year God willing. Looking foreward to seeing everyone again, Cheers!
Ok, demmit....
I'm going to do all that I can to get there for Opening and my birthday weekend. If I have to start a fundraiser, I will LOL. I need FAIRE!!!!

I'd like to make it, but I am purchasing a house ( closing Thursday w00t! ) and it's hurting the funds available for traveling. By traveling with the friend I get to lessen the expense, otherwise I would likely not be making it at all which would be a major bummer.

A house most definitely takes precedence so I hope all of that goes well for you! I'll be looking forward to seeing you when I do though!
OK, so help me out. This is our first year at Scarby, so no laughing at my stupid questions. If we are not FOF can we still do the meet and greet with y'all in the morning? I'm not 100% sure we'll be able to, but hoping to be there. I think we will have to park with the performers, but want to come see everyone before opening cannon. Thanks :)

Anyone is allowed to walk into the FoF part of the parking lot, in fact most people end up walking through or right by it if they park down that lane. So yes, you are more than welcome to! :D
Demmit sister!! Put me and my booger on for a definite maybe, that is, if I can rob that liquor store down the street for some $$$!

EEeeee! Well...being that my life stops sucking royally and I get my car back, I'll be there ready to get a great big hug from you.
Which weekend, madam?
The 3- Opening, Birthday (4th) and closing.
I don't know any of the deets, other than the fact that Spikey and myself will be there opening weekend.
I wish I knew more but the man won't tell me anything!
Anyhoo. Just putting my name on the list. This will be my first year at Scarby, so pardon my vast lack of information as far as what to do and where to go. I will likely find one of my fellow Mclotofus wenchies that is a regular there and latch on to her so as to not get lost!
<3
Please put me on for fourth weekend as well. Thankee Kindly :)
You are very welcome darling!
Everything is updated to this point, including themes straight from the website! :D
Yay Meg! you rock. And thanks for the info ;D
This is a preliminary of when we'll be there:
Opening weekend = both days
2nd = both days
3rd = Sat (?), Sun
4th = Sat (?), Sun
5th = ?
6th = both days
7th = Sat (?), Sun
Closing weekend (my birthday) = Sat (?), Sun and Mon
As usual we'll be either Rat Pucking, dancing or socializing! :-)

Scarby has a king? lol
I recall having seen someone who may have been VIII, but I've never managed to actually visit with him to be sure.
One has to be careful of the royals, one minute they want you working for them as buccaneers and the next the proclaim you as a pirate.
*I'm always afraid royalty will try and confiscate me rum too*
Now, now, my dear Teach, SOME royals do bring their own spirits. Not saying whom, just that some do. ;-)
~E
Okay, I am mixing up my attendance again. I am back to going opening weekend :) Its going to stick this time.
Is there a meet-up at the FoF preview, Sunday March 29, 1-6pm (food at 4p)? Please let me know where and what time so I can be there.
~E
From the looks of things, I'll be making my one and only appearance at Scarby on opening weekend - most likely both Saturday and Sunday.
As t' makin' meet n' greets...umm, th' standard disclaimer applies (*see me tag lyne that is... ;))
The good Lord willin' & the creek don't rise - I plan to be there on May 16 (pirates, doncha know).

Sorry folks for the delay, had much to do over the past couple days as there's been school, two jobs, car-breaking-down, and getting ready for four winds this weekend!
Eleanore- I went ahead and just put you down for each weekend except for 5th. When you start to know which days you definitely or definitely won't be there, just let me know so I can edit that.
For the Meet 'n Greet at the FoF Preview Event, I haven't thought that far ahead yet but once I get back from Four Winds, I'll start to conjure up a post! Annnnd, just so folks know, if they haven't read the thread yet, the Meet n' Greet location is still up in the air so please keep checking until we get it cemented! Once it is, I'll make sure it's well known!
Valt, so glad you WILL be there! :)
And Molden- YAY! *muchas smoochas* Can't wait to see you!
*pokes her head in*
Anyone home?
You can count on us opening, closing and possibly running amuck a few random weekends in between...
Cheers my Scarby Loves! Looking forward to collecting hugs from you all!
Awesome!!!! :D
2nd weekend is a go- but still looking for rides for a few more Scarbies? I will help with gas and can share a motel.
It looks like myself and several of the Bayou Scoundrels will make it closing weekend? (Memorial day weekend)
So look for us and come buy me a beer.
See you soon.

Chris will be there every weekend, both days for the first four weekends playing with Wine and Alchemy, and he will more than likely be playing the back four weekends as well. AM and kids will be there Opening, Second, Fourth, Sixth, and Closing. We are booked at the Super 8 every weekend. Sooooo excited to see everyone ;D
Midnight Ferret and I will be at opening weekend! YAYYY and HUZZAH! We are sharing a motel room and she will drive the MeowMobile!
So excited! See you all then! Starting happy dance!

Do you two prefer sweet or dry mead? If I can get two beauties doing the loki skip all the better.
OOOH! Did you say DRY MEAD Zaubon? YUMMY!I love it! Hint hint!LOL!
Maychance an extra bottle of a drier mead will find it's way into the faire van. It will just have to displace that nasty Speyside scotch for seating space.
Looks like quite an incredible list for opening weekend! Can't wait to see everyone. EloquentXI, I appreciate you keeping the list up to date...quite a chore indeed. We have decided to, for the first time ever, make it every single Saturday. And on opening weekend, third weekend (Highland Weekend), and final weekend we will stay and attend the entire weekend (plus memorial day). Tis not long now, we are attending Four Winds this Sunday to get a little taste, then counting the final days until we throw wide the gates....
You are very welcome. It's really not that hard, and I enjoy knowing who and when my faire-mily and friends will be here. :)

OH NO! Not the Speyside Scotch!!! Say tis not so! What a dilemma!
Hey Meg,
Go ahead and add me for every day playing with Wine and Alchemy. It is looking pretty certain that I will be their fiddle every weekend. See you guys soon! I am definately getting excited as I get closer to learning all their sets!

Dry Mead ;D Yummy! ;)
Okay, I've gotta ask, what constitues a mead as dry? Is it a certain brand, or is this a homemade brew?
Mmmm, mead...when is faire going to start, already??!!
I bring beverages from commercial sources. Some of the brands are sweeter than others. I'll be sure to bring some Bea's to be sure we cans supply a variety of palates. Even though that may end up pushing out the highland malt as well.......
Sounds fantastic, Zaubon. I hate to admit, the mead is one of the main things I look forward to for Faire season. That's probably not a good thing to admit, is it? :'(
I don't know, mead has been known to lead to other activities. ::)

Yup! You have to make room for me! ;D SHOTGUN ;D ;D ;D
See? The seats are going fast. But there does always seem to be room for the booze. I'll probably even find a corner to tuck the scotches into.

While I'd like to promise your birthday, Which weekend is closest to Iris, Blue, Guinnie, Lady Ellie and Othienrich? Most bang for the buck don'tcha know?
*giggles*
I think my birthday should be a ren holiday. Like, St. Patties Day, but without the green beer. Just regular beer, only more of it...
My birthday falls in during that time period. This year I have to share with Easter and Scarby.
Aye aye, captain! :]

No problem sweet woman. I still luv you. Thanks : )
Hubbys starting a new job on Monday. But now we are unsure if we are going to make Scarby anymore.
Hopefully if we cant make it in April as planned we will be there in May.
Eloquent-
Could you put me, + 3 (Cliona, Amber, adn Patrick) down for April 18th and 19th. We will be there both days and staying at the super 8.
Thanks
I won't be making opening weekend. I have two great ride opportunities for both Saturday and Sunday and want to take advantage of those before the weather gets too hot. You guys have fun!
what?! Fine then, I see where we rank... :P

Put me down for opening weekend (4/5), me and Ambard Closing weekend, and... well I'll get back to you after opening. There's gonna be one more in there somewhere, probably.

Sorry I haven't been around for awhile. I shall be at Scarby every weekend. This year I shall be stationed at the drink booth by joust. So I won't be able to make the schedule meetups. But, please stop by and say good morrow if you are in the area.
Trixie
I don't remember if I've posted in this thread, and I'm too tired to look..lol
Spikey(NightWolf/Kris) and myself will be in attendance for opening weekend!
And hopefully we will try to make it back for closing and a few others :)
I've never been to Scarby, only TRF, so I'm excited!!
:)
The NWS long range simply says "Friday thru Sunday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 72." Way far out but at least there doesn't seem to be any big change coming (it snowed here in Bowie last night!). We will be driving down Friday and staying at America's Best Value (hey it's just a place to sleep and garb up). Anyone else staying there. WE are bringing my daughter, son in law and their 6 kids (yes its like the Brady bunch sort of), her 2 and his 4. Give a shout out to them if you see them. They went last year for the first time ever and this time, they all have put together garb and are so excited. They had a blast last year (daughter was beckoned to the stage by Don Juan), kids loved Twig and the Duchess, Noobler and others, SOL and I did archery and his youngest son (he's 8 this year) asked me at the end of the Final Joust "papa Rick, what do they do with that dead guy?" I told him that oh it was just an act and he'd get up and walk off. He said "I saw the blood!" So, I took him back to watch and true to form (I had never seen them do this) and maintaining the illusion, they brought out a stretcher and carried him off. So, they just haul off the dead guy and throw him in the woods...
I'm excited, sharing Faire with family and friends, introducing them to all of my Faire friends is why the world of Faire is so great!
Sir Marcus MacLaren and I will be there on opening day, good Lord willing and the creek don't rise. I just won two new Italian style gowns on Ebay, and I'd be tickled pink if they arrived in time for me to get to wear one of them! Sir Marcus is taking archery lessons (as a phys ed elective) this semester, and he won a bow on Ebay. (I know people bring swords to Faire; do people ever bring bows?) You'll probably find him in the archery area a lot this season when we are there!

I've seen Var with her bow a few times. I have seen others but not many.
I've got drummer duty this Sunday for Belly Dance Treasures on their little stage next to the shop. We'll have 5-minute demonstrations approx. on the hour after the Gypsy stage show ends at around 11a, 12p, 2p, 4p & 5p. At 1p we march in the parade, @ 3p we do an 8-10-minute demo, then around 6p we have a 20-30 minute jam. There's usually dancers :o out front playing zills & promoting the "Wings of Isis" show @ the Ivanhoe stage all day, so I hope to see some of you! ;)
As the hubby and I are taking a season off from cast this year, we will be out occasionally but not every day. As of now, our current schedule is as follows:
Sat Apr 4
Sat Apr 11
Sat Apr 18
Sun Apr 19
Sat Apr 25
Sat May 2
Sat May 9
Sat May 16
Sat May 23
Mon May 25
This is, of course, subject to change based on weather and whim. :)
When we are out, we will be working as Auxiliary Cast Members for the most part. There are plans to come out and play in civvies one day, just to experience it *grin*, but for the most part we'll be doing the part-time cast member thing.
Looking forward to seeing folks!
Last post before heading to the magical village of Scarborough. All is packed in the magic time-traveling machine and we are flying south. A night at the local Inn and we shall see you all at the gates at about 9 a.m. Throw wide the gates....
i should be on the list for every day except easter sunday, at this point. dunno. might change.
Baron Snail and I will be there tomorrow. Tomorrow is the only day I will be able to go this year because I am moving since my hubby is FINALLY back from Iraq!
I will be there April 18/19. This will be my first visit to Scarby. ;D

Yay! Another convert.....be sure and say hi. ;D
I had hoped to be at Scarby next weekend.
Alas. My beloved Siamese Tachi is not doing well at all and would not survive another weekend of boarding.His Vet is of the same opinion. I will try to build him up and get his insulin dosage regulated- and perhaps I can make another Scarby weekend.??? This is a hard unhappy decision to make. Faire is my life- but I have loved my kitty for 15 years and he deserves a chance to see if I can pull him through this.
Sigh.
I will miss my Fairmily so much.
Glad I was there last weekend!
I am so sorry to hear of this news. I do hope that he starts feeling well soon.

HAWT STUFF!!!!! WHERE YOU BEEN SWEETIE!?!?!
Aye me pretty little bird, I have been docked at the Four Winds Fair since the start of the season. Soon to be sailing to Scarby to enjoy the merriment of more friends on May 2nd-3rd and May 16th-17th(Pirate weekend a must) Other weekends I will try to do my best love.
Greetings and well met, my friends! I have been given a furlough from Arizona, and I will be at Scarby both days this weekend to celebrate my birthday on Sunday! I look forward to seeing you all there!
My husband and I will be at Scarb on Highland Fling Saturday. :) Memorial Day weekend is still in discussion as well!
My rogue and I have been to Scarby the past 2 Saturday's. We will be back for the Wine & beer tasting weekend playing host to a bunch of friends. the Rogue is easy to spot as he has been called "The Pink Pirate" by many of the vendors and kids. He is actually one of the "Flamingo Brother's" The other one is currently away "drowning his sorrows after doing battle with a spanish heiress."
I can't wait to go back. This is he most fun I have had in a while.
We have finalized plans to be there on Memorial Weekend! Woot! Bringin' little Cap'n No Beard with us :D
Jacob and I and my belly will be out this weekend.

It's great to have the wee folk about! Little one ain't any higher than a grasshopper knees
And Cap'n NoBeard too? Bonus!
(Just kidding... don't hit! Tell me little pirate I'll be looking to see him!)
*Take him under my wing and teach him the ways of the rum I will... er... ways of the world I mean...*
April 25-26, Lady Adela and myself will be there once again. Looking to make last weekend too, and if I can May 2-3. *fingers crossed(
Spikey, I certainly hope to see you there for my bday, 4th weekend. And YAY for Kilian and Adele!!!!!
Man this is hard. There are so many people who are wanting Chris and I to be out every weekend and we are trying but I am not sure how it is going to work. I will try for this weekend as well, but I am not sure.
After much wailing and gnashing of teeth, I have finally come to the conclusion that I will be unable to attend Scarby this season. But TRF is coming closer, right? Right? In the immortal words of the late Marvin Zindler, "It's hell being poor."

Thank you!
Looks like I'll be making it out this weekend. Lawrence has to work, so I'm coming up to play with the Royal Guard for a weekend. (As long as I don't have horse guard duty, I'll make the meet-n-greet.) See all you early-birds on Row 12 Saturday morning!

Yo all - sorry I've been missing you. RL has been taking a priority and it is a necessary one. Looks like my first weekend at faire will be the first one in May. Meanwhile keep the photos coming and always give the Musketeers a hard time!
Me and mine are there every weekend ;D
Please remove me from Birthday weekend. Things just aren't working the way I want them to.
I'll be competing in the Highland Fling this Saturday.
Mine'll be the black and white kilt.

I saw that pic of you and all those gorgeous girls with their hands in places you wouldn't want your mother to see... :o (chortlesnerk)
You don't know my mother..... :o
Had to make a trip to the hospital last night but we will be out this weekend I am OK and so is the baby.

YAY!!! ;D ;D ;D
Chris and I will be out there on this Saturday the 18th. I will be wearing something completely new and I am excited. Chris will be at Fair on the Sunday the 19th. I will not, I have a photo shoot in dallas to attend for JC Penny. YAY! :D
Lady Ann of Draycott, Sir Trent and Master Dillon will be attending on April 25th & 26th!!! ;D
Don Juan and I may be iffy for the 18th. His Excellency has come down with a bad cold.
OOH! So sorry! Sending healing spells to Don Juan!
May he get better fast!
Lady Katherine and I may miss this weekend as we both ended up with chest colds and sinus infections. I will try to be there Sun with the missus
Take care of yourselves!
I hate these awful colds going around.
???
Possible that we will be falling off for Saturday due to foul weather (or weather unsuitable for fowl, either one) at home and there up north. We will assess the situation in the morning...and either brave it, or reschedule for a brighter weekend this season!
ETA: all good wishes for speedy healing to those who need it!
Sorry to hear everyone is getting sick! Hugs and warm wishes for everyone! :-*
HAHA!!! I'm not sick!!! Bring on SCARBY!!!!!
I can't wait to celebrate my natal day with my fairemily!
Well I will not be out these next two weekends. One I have to attend a baby shower and the second I am going back to California for a few days to surprise my mother for her birthday!
Chris and I will be out for 6th weekend though! Huzzah!
Hey Cass. Have a safe journey to California and we'll see you in two.
We won't be out Saturday (going to Arbor Days in Euless), but I will be out this Sunday playing the doumbek next to Belly Dance Treasures. I'll try to make the post-parade meet 'n' greet. Looking at the forecast, I'll most likely NOT be wearing black :-\
I will be at Arbor Daze with Al-Nimer on Saturday & Sunday I will not be out there because I have to be a responsible parent & take our little princess somewhere. I shall return next weekend!!
Happy to say that with my first weekend off since, well January, really, I'll be heading up to Scarby this weekend! Whee!
I am unsure as the turn out at the Meet n' Greet on Sunday, but I know on Saturday, after I shoot parade down by Nooblers stage, I'll run up to the area across from the FoF Booth for Meet n' Greet.
and yaaaaay Aiacha! :) Cant wait to see you!

While I deeply regret being unable to attend this weekend's natal day drunken debauchery celebrations. Because of the enticement of a royal re-coronation it is my intention to attend faire for the May Day celebrations of May 2nd and 3rd.

Sorry to hear you wont make it Z. We're trying to make it out that weekend as well - but we will be there THIS weekend, and so very much looking forward to it. Its amazing how much irk Real Life can cram into two weeks between going to fair!
I found a RIDE to Scarby and will be there this Sat only! Huzzah! Doing the happy dance! Getting out garb and working on a good weather spell! I am so happy to be returning!
The family and I will be taking the weekend off to catch up on weekend-y stuff... like sleep. We will be back after that.
Only two more Days!
Bonnie,
I hope Aveed (sp?) had a good time last Sunday.
I have not heard back from Avid yet- but we chatted and he seemed to be very impressed with Scarby- and having a good time too! I enjoyed his visit and getting to know him better!
Good News! I was able to get my schedule changed so that I will be at Scarby every weekend in May! Yo Ho, and a bottle of rum!
I have to miss next weekend (I'm shooting a wedding) but will be there tomorrow and all the other weekends!

Fifth Weekend Don Juan and I will be there Saturday and Sunday.
Break out the champagne.........that might be a first.
It was great seeing everyone this past weekend. Thanks for making me and Cat's birthday a really awesome one. Goodbye until TRF!!!
I'm so glad you all came. Scarby wont be the same without you. Can't wait for TRF.
Chris (Sir Jerrick Rayfe) and I will be out on 6th weekend! Keep an eye out for us, we might look a little different. ^_^
For the only weekend for this whole season, I will not be out this coming Saturday.
:-*
See you all 6th Weekend, May 9th!
Cowgrrl & I will be there both days with the kids in tow! I've got drummer duty on Sunday...
I can now DEFINITIVELY, WITHOUT A DOUBT say that, because of Zaubon's amazing kindness and loving nature, I WILL be at scarby this weekend, the 2nd and 3rd. <333 See you guys SOON
Where are you guys staying Volans? You had better stop by and say hello, or I will be thoroughly offended. ;)
Because of the popularity of Wine and Alchemy, the closest motel I could get is the Days Inn up in Red Oak.
Wow. It hasn't seemed very crowded as of late. Hopefully, that means the fair's attendance will pick up for May.
Looks like only one more weekend for us...we shall be in attendance on May 16th and 17th.
Looking like only Pirate weekend for me too- unless I find a ride for another day trip.

Although new to the scene I was there Sunday of the third and fourth weekends. I will be there saturday and Sunday of the the fifth weekend and Sundays of all remaining weekends.
Apparently we shall be coming on Saturday. He didn't get enough of faire last weekend- so we canceled plans with my in-laws.
Huzzah for Scarby!!!!!!

It will be great to finally meet you Rani! Where are you staying?
I can't wait to meet you also, and everyone else that's going to be there!!! Guess I'd better check out the meet-n-greet info...
I'm camping at Cedar Hill, I guess about 20 miles or so from Scarby. Lots cheaper than a hotel, and after Faire I get to be outside by a lake! I might be able to make it to one or two of the parties I keep hearing about, though! LOL
Everything is updated to this point! Sorry for the delay
Aye, ye can find me at the cold drink booth in front of the Joust most weekends. The only day me booth was closed so far was Easter Sunday due to the weather and small crowd.
Tis nice to be working a different booth and seeing another area of the faire. Has been nice meeting a few of those that have stopped by the booth.
Trixie
If any of you will be working student days, I'll be drumming for Belly Dance Treasures tomorrow (Tues.) only. I get to see how many different ways I can play Beledi for 5 hours! Hopefully I'll at least get a lunch break :-\
We will be out of town this weekend, so our next weekend will be Pirate Invasion!
Ooo, I am so excited I get to go to fair this weekend! Time to Partay!
Should be there both days this weekend. Next weekend just Saturday then my hubby is finally coming home on leave and we will try & make it Sunday & Monday.
Huzzah! I will be there Saturday only! I got a ride with Melkar! Doing the happy faire dance! Getting garb ready! We won't make opening cannon, but see you inside faire and at the meet and greet after the parade.
I NEEDED faire this weekend!
Next weekend my Evil twin will be coming with Var and Lawrence. Yo Ho ho and a bottle of Scotch!
Lady Adella and myself will be there closing weekend, all three days. Sadly we will be unable (again) to attend pirate weekend.
I am new to the forum this season. I can only be there partial Saturdays for the rest of the season except memorial day.
But am definately planning on coming out on the 16th being it is my birthday.
I need another faire fix... Memorial weekend seems so very far away...
*guess I will just hang out with the rum until then... sigh*

Be sure to come by the meet-n-greet if you can. Come up and introduce yourself to everyone.
Yay Duckie! I'll make sure you get introduced to everyone!
We are heading out today to spend the night at the Best Western and will be at FAire all day Saturday for our annual "replenish the garb" trip, nothin' like shopping at Scarby all day! We will be there next weekend all day Saturday (bringing my 7 year old granddaughter who loves pirates) then Sunday and Monday of Memorial weekend.

My twin sister Rachel, my mom Carol, and me will all be there this Saturday. First time this season and I'm super excited to be out there with everyone!
Well I couldn't come out today :-[. But come hell or highwater, the later probably being more likely, I will be there next Saturday for eloquent and I's birthday. Hope to meet you all then.
Sunday will be my next trip to Scarby.
Where is the official 'meet and greet'?
I've had the wonderful pleasure of meeting Queen Bonnie and look forward to meeting her evil twin sister this weekend.

I must try to remember that this week. We are going Sunday and "pirate up" and then we are going all 3 days of memorial day, so hope to see some more of you guys then.
Champagne the Bubbly, Jezebel the Jewel, and pirate Grace O'Malley shall be attending together on Saturday. Not on Sunday sadly due to having to work, but we will be there on Saturday and looking for some rowdy fun!
The Crew of the Scurvy Cat will be landing this weekend! See you there!
I to will be at the faire every weekend with the notable exception of the 23rd (because of a wedding)
I am a Squire to the knights of Noble Cause....so if you'd like to meet me come by the Meet the Knights at 3pm at the Rose and Crown Inn or hang around after the show (for at least 30 minutes because I must take care of my horse and my knight).
I am one of three female squires on the field. Depending on the weekend I'll be the squire running around in either black and green or red and yellow.
Hope to see you at the Royal Joust at 11am, 2pm, and 6pm!
I usually carry out your dead at 6 pm, when both of my arms work. Which squire are you? ;D

I will be drumming for the BDT boothe this Sunday and next Sunday.
The evil twins will be making port with the "Scurvy Cat" this weekend. See you all on Row 12 Saturday morning!
Hi all. New to the boards but regulars at Scarby. We finally bought season passes this year and plan on being there this weekend and Memorial Day Weekend. Alas, we will be in mundane attire, but we are steadily putting together garb for TRF this fall and Scarby next year.
Hubby has decreed that he wants to be there for Opening Cannon so we may stroll around looking for the infamous Row 12 to introduce ourselves. Is it customary to bring anything other than yourself in the morning?
Looking forward to meeting you soon!
aka Melissa & Bob
Welcome Lady Kett! Bring gold and booty and rum! LOL! Tis pirate weekend! YARRR! Beware my Evil pirate Twin- in yellow and black!
Do introduce yourselves! Happy to meet other R/F ers!
Huzzah to getting garb together! Such FUN!!!
Packed up and ready for my last solo trip to Scarby this year. Looking forward to seeing you all soon.
Please count Taarna, JP, and JP III for final Memorial day weekend, first trip ever to Scarby, staying at the Super 8.
Lightlord is going to be there too, but I am not sure where he is staying (not with us!) ;D
The Ice Queen Faerie will NOT be making an appearance at Scarby due to the heat, so she is sending a very young, and very lost Sea Faerie in her stead in hopes of finding a friend to point her in the right direction back to her own realm. Her name is Bubbles, and being a child faerie herself, is very drawn to human children, but is quite a shy thing. If any of you happen to see her please be nice to her. Loud noises tend to scare her. She got blown to this mortal plane on the winds of a hurricane 8 months ago, and has been lost here ever since. I think it may have traumatized her a bit.
That's my story and I'm stickin' to it! ;)
Taarna
I'll be there! With three of my friends, one who was the fae with me on the first weekend of May. I'm so excited to be going back!

Counting down to Friday...will hopefully finally get to meet some of you I know from here! I will be there with Clan Procrastination (our younglings will also be in tow). Can't wait!!! Hope to see ya'll there!!!
Find me and say Helloooooooooooooooooo !
I'll be down Friday afternoon/evening, but I'm not sure what my plans will be until cannon Saturday morning!!!! I'm soooo very excited!!!
Perhaps with 2 wizards working on the weather- we might get this lovely cooler stuff to stick around for the weekend? Doing my best.
It will be great to see you Taarna!
I will look forward to meeting you Rani! Huzzah to R/F ers!

Is it Friday yet?! ;D
Hey Taarna.... are ya bringin' somethin' yummy with rum in it?? Of course if so, Teach and I will do battle to be first in line, lol! ;D ;D See you soon!
Alas my dear Bonnie Pearl, not this time. Having been displaced from my castle for 8, almost 9 months now has been a true burden on me. This trip is in hopes of a much needed escape from harsh reality. I am promised to soon be back in my own realm though, and it will henceforth be known as the Castle That Rennies built!
I will be starting my Loki for TRF as soon as I am home, but for now, no treats this trip. I deeply apologize.
Also folks, we need to organize for the Closing Weekend RF.com Group photo...unless there are any great objections to it, I think it'll be after parade across from the Friends of Faire in Pecan Grove, after/during the Meet n' Greet.
Do we want to try and do it all three days?
Put somebody in charge of grabbing and dragging me since I am unfamiliar with where things are in this fair please!

We will be there for all three days. We need this SOO BAD! I have heard this faire is a more "period" faire, but they will just have to forgive me. I lost a good bit of my garb to Ike, and this new creation is.... well, a child of Ike... sort of...
Look for a lost little Sea Faerie. Her name is Bubbles, and she may very well ask if you know the way back to her home. The poor thing was blown from her own realm to this mortal plane 8 months ago and has been very sad and lonely ever since. ;)

Oh, I wasn't really expecting you to go through all of that sweetie! I didn't know you all are STILL displaced from Ike! That has got to be aggrevating. I hope your castle is finished soon.
Get ready to take it easy on Friday, kickin' it around the pool! See ya soon!
I will be there Memorial Day. I have a freind to take to the airport on Saturday and I have a 2:00 PM Yoga Class to teach on Sunday.
How about you move that business toward the Jousting Lists Meg :P
Will there be a game of Musical Men this weekend, by any chance?
If there is I now toss my hat into the ring!! ( As one of the Less than Musical Men!)

could do it betwixt the cat&fiddle and the lists since a few people might be theree anyway for the wine tasting.... just a suggestion
If we do the group photo, it would have to be quickly after parade for me to be able to make it. We have a 2:00 show that I cannot miss.

"we need to organize for the Closing Weekend RF.com Group photo... I think it'll be after parade across from the Friends of Faire in Pecan Grove"
I think this would be the best place for cast members to catch up with the herd after parade. There are quite a few RFers marching in the parade, cast or otherwise. I hope our good VIII has a clear spot in his schedule to stop by.
I also think a new spot needs to be scouted... the one on April 4th had harsh sunlight that nearly killed the shot. Many, many layers of hand correction in Photoshop. Just ask Ricky Lee about his shots...
Here's the path for the one I like... http://www.pbase.com/rslee/image/111662119 (http://www.pbase.com/rslee/image/111662119)
He has more up here ... http://www.pbase.com/rslee/april_04_2009 (http://www.pbase.com/rslee/april_04_2009)
Any of the three days is fine with us. We need a head count and a quorum.
Stalk well...
Don Juan and I will be there Saturday and Monday.
We could move closer to the Gypsy stage for the actual photo after everyone gathers.
I believe the shade there is a little more complete.

We will be wherever the decided upon location is! It will be be me, hubby and son. ;D
Getting closer to time...countdown!!!!! Can't wait to meet everyone, if anyone recognizes me, before I them...feel free to say hi! Promise I don't bite...unless you ask nicely ;D
There is not a much better space down near the gypsy stage. The issue with being over at the Cat & Fiddle is that marchers will have to back track to the jousting area, out of courtesy, I don't want to do that to them. I'm trying to think of an area that would be good that our marchers can make, that the shade will be good. Anywhere close to the Scotty Cotty thats shade and not crowded?
Dana, do you have any ideas, since you are our principal photographer...
And unless someone can find someone to play a musical instrument for it on Saturday or any other day this weekend, no, I don't think there will be a game of Musical Men. I haven't had the time to try and re-organize it after it didn't happen on Opening Weekend. Somebody else has got to take the reigns on this one
bleh bleh :P someone should come see me after the jousts on sunday and monday!

Hmmmmmm. I might know someone we could get to play the instrument if someone else organizes.......But I am not sure he could be coaxed into playing......
PS. On second thought, I do not know if the weather is going to be very condusive to this anyways. The forecast does not look great.

Hey Chris...the weather dude said that the 30% showers will be East of the area...(and we all know how balls-on accurate Texas weather prognosticators are)
Also...that means there's a 70% chance that it wont rain at all.
I will be there all three days, so whichever is good for me, just tell me where and when!

If we do it there, would anyone mind holding off on picture taking till i get there being as how i march in parade?
I have finished washing garb (can you believe some if it was still waiting from Thanksgiving?!?!)! My Lord and I shall be attending Sunday and Monday. It's our 14 year anniversary -- so NO kids for us (YAY!). We'll be staying at the Hampton Inn and should arrive Saturday evening. Will we find you folks at the pool?
I will not be going to Scarby this last weekend. I am disappointed because all of my Fairmily will be there for closing weekend and Chris and I can not make it.
My coworkers felt I was taking too much time off and took it to the boss. Even though they had already agreed on covering me this Sunday. This was the one weekend that I wanted to make if I could not make any others.
Well, I hope everyone has fun and I will see you some other time.
OHHH Element of Air!- Drat and fie! so sorry you and Chris won't be there! You will be missed! HUGS!
Lets get together after Scarby?
I'll be up there this Saturday. Going to try something a bit different, I won't have a camera on me this trip. :o It'll be different, in fact, I don't know what it will be like. I don't think I've ever been to faire without a camera. Does that make it this week's sign of the Apocalypse? ;D
Nothing wrong with my gear, I've just got a very large shoot coming up first weekend of June and I'm clearing the decks ahead of it. Camera will be going in for it's yearly sensor cleaning a couple of weeks earlier than normal.
I look forward to catching up with y'all!
NO camera?!?! What!!!
:o
You're going to be itching to take photos, just wait. I can barely leave me in a safe, dry spot when it rains for more than an hour before I start getting twitchy.
This... is the longest day of work EVER!
I wanna go!
sigh...
*I want my rummy*
We are going to have to wait until Monday now. Obligated to have a cookout with the kids and grandkids. WE will travel down Sunday night and are staying at the Best Western. See you all Monday.
How many days until opening day 2010 (I know someone knows)?
Taarna and I are at the super 8, just got here about 20 mins ago. waiting upon the later arrivals should anyone care we are in 214.
T'was wonderful meeting you, Sir Yard Troll.

I have often thought of doing that, going to faire on a second pass, without a camera. I'm not really sure what I would do since my entire approach is to be a roving ranger, snapping away with moments of interaction. Without the camera, I'm rather lost.
Further, that thought was developed in the 35mm days; I couldn't afford two trips of 15-24 rolls each. Now in the DSLR range, the figures change drastically.
Go back without a camera? Depend on my memories without photo support? I don't think I could stand that.
and to you Master Merlin

I'm still so blown away by everyone and everything I experienced this weekend at Scarby (my first visit), that I'm still having trouble finding the words to describe it! It was wonderful meeting so many of you, finally, and I'm so happy to have gotten to spend at least a few minutes talking, laughing and getting to know all of you!!! Thanks for making it all so special for me!
I'm glad you had fun and it was awesome getting to meet you inperson, even though we didn't get to spend any time hanging out. What can i say, i'm a busy guy.
LOL I was a bit busy myself! I enjoyed meeting you also, Mac, and I did manage to see you in the parade and at the pub a few times! Maybe well have a chance to hang at that other Faire in the fall... ;D
Oh yeah fo sho! I don't march at TRF so it's all party all the time at.
Woot!!! Better save some of the next batch of mead just for me, too! I'm not at all happy I didn't even get to taste the last one after all the build up it received... LOL
Rani, it was so awesome to meet you!!!! You better be coming back to TRF in the fall, or else I'll drive my happy arse up to Oklahoma and drag you down here!
Elo, I was soooo thrilled to finally get to meet you, and I can't wait for TRF and All Hallows!!!
Hey... would that mean I don't have to drive down there, then?!? LOL
You give the bestest hugs, sweetie!!!
Hey Elo, when are you going to get around to updating the list? It's getting a little late in the game and we'd all like to know who is was going to be there....grin
Oiy, Z, who'd I miss, like...two people?! TO those that I did miss, I do apologize.
None of them seem to be giving me crap though... ;)
Ok.. so there were some pretty great hugs all the way around! LOL It was so great to finally get the hugs you owed me, Z, and I really enjoyed watching Iris and Rose with you, not to mention the pool party! Can hardly wait to do it all again!!!
Great to meet you Rani Z.
What a great weekend! So many happy memories. But WHY does faire time go by SO FAST? On to TRF!
Royal Hugs to all!
Why am I tired? As Lord A used to say" 27 ain't like 26!"LOL!
I was glad to see everyone this year. I hope you all have a great summer and be safe, be well. A bit off topic, but is anyone going to the Texas Scottish Festival June 5/7 in Arlington?
It was so lovely to meet you also, Bonnie, and I was thrilled to get to sit and chat in the shade with you during the court dance! I'm so happy I finally managed to track you down, and I can't wait to see you at TRF!!!
