Title: STLRF 2009
Post by: Charity 'The Pirhanna' O'Reilly on January 13, 2009, 10:54:37 PM
Hunnar and me will be at St Louis Ren Fair this year on Memorial Day weekend. Will anyone else be there the same weekend? We would love to meet some new members. We got to meet some last year. Hope to see you all there.

Lord Stephen and I hope to travel from the Shire of Galena (NW Illinois) on the Sunday and Monday of the Memorial Day weekend.  Not 100% finalized, but a definite maybe at this time.

I'm wondering if the local forum members host Meet & Greets on the weekends?  That's a great way to meet other members.

Glad you'll be able to make it!  :D  It will be well worth your driving time to come for a visit.

  As far as meet and greet times, I'm hoping that some non-cast forum members would be able to arrange something, since as Lord and Lady Alberon can tell you, I'm a hard person to find on a faire day running around with a hundred plus things to do at all times...  seems I'm almost never in one place for more then 10 minutes at a time.

Errr, um...Bob and I will be there (barring any more unemployment issues and scheduling allows)  As for planning a meet-n-greet...ummmm....yea...um....Heh, Knights Pub is a pretty popular meeting place!  ;D  Seriously though, we more than likely can come up with something by May.  I hope.   PleaseletmyjobandBob'sjobgopermanentandnostrikeinApriloratleastnotforlong!

If your visiting our faire this year, but sure to note that the directory listing on this site was not updated. I just summited new information, but the ticket prices listed here are incorrect.  It is $13 for an adult, not $12.

Once it has been updated, please feel free to take a look, I summited prices and descriptions for several special member packages that you might be interested in.


*taking off my official cap and putting my "regular" hat back on*

I've seen a few people saying they'll be visiting us, I'm looking forward to it! Memorial day is looking popular, any other weekends that that anyone might be coming on out?

yep, that looks about right!  luckily for faire (unluckily for me and the fields at the farm)  its been a much dryer year then it was last year, so shouldn't have any issues with flooding out.

Rengeek, what booth do you normally work at?

I wouldn't call it work.  It is more like a useful loitering.  :) 

When we are not watching Chuvani Bellydancers we are taking up space at Pyrate Trading Co./Aarrrbucks.

I need to stop off at the Springfield Highland Games (http://www.central-illinois-celts.org/ (http://www.central-illinois-celts.org/)), but I will be stopping by on the other weekends. Memorial Day weekend is a must.

Opening day...weather held out, grounds beautiful, acts wonderful, friends abounded!  Bob and I actually were busy squiring a coworker of mine and his fiancee to their first faire visit (ren faire virgins!) so we didn't get to chat much...but all in all , quite wonderful!!!  Nobility garb tomorrow...can't wait!  I love this faire!

 ;D We were so proud of our Lord Logan walking in the front gate opening day with his chainmail on.  ;D
It was really great to get to see some of our fellow R/F members, Amyj & Bob, Once Debauched, Mytherin, JCBanner, PyrateTradingCo & RatCatcher the first weekend.
We are looking forward to seeing them again & will be on the lookout for other R/F members.

Yes, great to see everyone & hoping to see more folks as the weekends continue. Lady Alberon, the Lord Logan did look quite adorable in his new chainmail! JCBanner, maybe we'll take another shot at throwing some more rope this weekend  ;) See you this weekend!

Malcolm, you stood us up last year, I am holding you to it for this weekend!!

might not have to try throwing rope, I think my shoulders finally healing up, and if it is then I can climb just about any tree rather then trying to toss a rope into it.

well then, please come and say "HELLO"  last year with your encouragement I went to my first faire - loved it so much I joined cast this year!   Look for the greyhounds!

I loved Lord Logan- didn't know who he was, but loved the tiny little mug - all the details were covered!  Hope you had a great time ~weather was perfect!

If it does, Magda the Perchta may be the only one of us half-way ready for it!

I posted this in another thread under this faire, but we hope to meet everybody tomorrow.  Should arrive around noon-ish.  We plan to go to the Meet & Greet, but if you see Steve and me beforehand, please come up and introduce yourself.  Thanks!
