Row 12
FOF parking
8:00ish am
Even if you don't have a FOF pass you can WALK over and socialize.
The more the merrier I usually say.

What time do you all normally start gathering. I have to be there early to do sound checks, set up the stage and the like so Ann Marie and the kids were planning on going to meet up with you all the socialize. Just wondering when they should head over there.
I try to be in place between 08:30 an 09:00. Life is just easier if you get there a little early. It really makes the difference at the end of the day.
Bring self and flask to row 12 in the AM, got it.
Question for all you FoF pros...
This is our first year to get the passes, we don't have a parking tag yet
Haven't gotten any letter about it yet
How do they know we are allowed to park in there?
*does it require rum?*
Hey Teach,
You don't get a parking pass, you just show your Friends of Faire pass when you drive up to the parking guys and they let you in the Friends of Faire parking :)
*Thinking Hard*
I may sneak over for a minute to say hi.
Saturday is going to be a bit nutsy, so I cannot be certain if I can make it out there.
But, I will attempt.
We shall be there! Midnight Ferret will be driving the MeowMobile! See you Early!
This is second year we haven't gotten the FoF pass, last year 'cause we only made it to faire once - damn that price increase!
I love the pre-cannon meet & greets, but as to whether we'll arrive in time on opening day, I don't know. Tis much easier when finances permit staying overnight. As it is, we'll be getting up and driving in on Sat. morning. It takes us almost 2 1/2 hours to get there.
Lady Morna
Almare, one of my best friends from school, and I should be there between 8:00-8:30!
Can't wait to see everyone!
I Loves the pre-cannon parking lot party!
Last year I was already staggering by the time I was aiming for the gates... I hope to repeat that feat this year
*Loki and rum for breakfast... gotta love it*
we aim to be there around 8:45-9:00 as its about an 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 hr drive
I have a Morning Meeting at 9:00, but should be able to do a run-by 'Hi!'
We should be there between 8:00 and 8:30.
i'll try to be there, but no promises, it just depends on how the night before went.
Aye, Same as Mac for us!
If Spikey and I get too crazy and inhibited the night before, an early rise would be unlikely.
I'll try and be a good wench and not partake of too much rum and loki..but no promises ;)
We will be there with 6 grandkids and their parents in tow, but likely around 8:30 or so. Hope to see you all there.
Martin Montgomery and Messyn McCleavage should be there on time and with bells on!! See you all there!
Since I'll have my parents (2nd time to Faire) and kids in tow, we probably won't get there until close to 9:30. You never know which park row they'll put you on, and I don't want to make them walk extra, so we'll probably just head on up to the pre-cannon show :-\
I'll definitely stop by the post-parade meet 'n' greet on Sunday, though :)
We'll be there!!! ;D ;D ;D
i'll try to stop by... hopefully i can get the wife and kids up early enough... haha
Will folks be meeting up tomorrow morning? I'm hoping to be there about 9:30 (if I can get my crew out of the house early enough).
I will be coming with Var! Huzzah!
So I think Chris and I will be there this weekend. Saturday Chris and I will be at Fair but on Sunday I have a photo-shoot for JC Penny in Dallas so Chris will be there without me.
We will be there Sat around 9:30 and Sunday whenever we wake up :)
Cowgrrl & I will be there around 9:30 with our kids, plus our daughter's best friend (first timer!)
Leaving out of TN tonight. I'll try and make the early meet and greet around 08:30. Hope to see everyone then. ;D
We should have a nice meet and greet! I am trying to get the dampness out of the weather potion!
I had left for Scarby Sat morning and forgot which aisle the meet-n-greet was on. No worries for Sat anyway, we were running late and missed opening canon by about 20 min. Sunday we got there early enough but stayed at our car and enjoyed our own little preparty. Umm yeah, so if any of you saw a girl passed out by the flower pots during the opening show Sunday- yup that would have been me...as I apparently CAN'T hold my liquor. I did feel fine when I came to about 10 min later...
we plan on coming up again sometime...maybe this time I will actually prepare a little better and write down the aisle number.
i was there both days and didn't see anyone :(
It's Row 12, CassandraR. Look for the big, tall Scottish flag (if its owners are there the next time you come).
This weekend was a bit light. Queen Bonnie and I were there with Avid from TNRF on Saturday. EloquentXI passed through, as did ChrisB. DonaCatalina and Don Juan were there on Sunday. Can't remember if there was anyone else. Sorry we missed you Macintyre!
I'll be out with my new truck, a white Explorer Sport Trac so no more silver Bug. I'm working on getting something made to put the RF flag up on a pole...hope to have it by ny birthday, seventh weekend or Closing. Maybe earlier, who knows...
Gretchen and I will be there bright an early Saturday, looking forward to seeing everyone who will be there!
ChrisB and I will be there both days this weekend, WITH NO KIDS!!!! yea!! looking forward to seeing everyone and actually being able to have a conversation with you without having to take someone to the potty every 5 minutes ;D
I hope to be there between 9-9:15, Sunday only.
We'll be tryingt to be there. We are bringing 2 friends with us and have no idea how fast we can get it all together lol.
*Perhaps offers of rum will get me there faster...*
We will be there this Saturday...going on a shopping spree. Got our gold back from Caesar (tax refund) and gotta get some new garb, a long-bow, maybe some new boots, ....what else???????????
We made the pre-cannon meet up first weekend, and it was great.
That said, getting the lovely lady up in time for cannon itself is a challenge i do not often win, much less for a pre-party. I regret I will have to miss you all until inside the faire the rest the season.
We'll be there!!! :D
Row 12 in 2 days!

Row 12 in 2 days? I will be there!
Row 12 -tomorrow!
My Evil twin will be there!
Alas! I am home slaving over a cauldron with weather potions for pirate weekend. Hoping I did not put in too much hair of cat and just the right tail of newt!
Row 12 tomorrow! Yay! Can't wait!!! :D
Row 12 in 90 minutes !

;D
Bumping up the thread as a reminder to folks, for those that will be there early.
Row 12, 8:30- 9:30. Around 9:30 ish (estimating here), everyone usually starts to wander over to see the cast and get in line up by Front Gate. I'll be there, so just look for a black SUV, not my truck!
Can't wait to see everyone! <3
I'm a newbie to RF so I don't really count....but I'll be there unless both daughters plan on coming on Saturday. It is impossible to get them ready on time so I'll drag in around 10:20 as usual.
If they don't go on Saturday...I'll be there by 9
Keep your eyes out for the squires walking the pretty ponies in saturday morning!
we were there last weekend and I waved....don't know if anyone saw us or not
EVERYONE counts! That is my Royal Decree! We were all newbees once! When you join R/F you have instant Fairmily!((((( Group HUG!!!!))))))) Huzzah to Renaissance Festival.com!!!

Queen Bonnie you are so correct! I am so happy that I found this site and have met so many wonderful, kind people!
See everyone tomorrow evening and/or Saturday morning!
I will not appear until Sunday AM. Hope I will make the pre cannon meet and greet but don't know if my rides are early birds! I sure am! See you for sure at the after parade meeting!
Queen Bonnie, I will be there Sunday too! I really hope we can meet and talk about gardening a bit perhaps? I have 2 roses blooming! I will be wearing a red skirt with black bodice, just like on my profile picture and will have an R/F pin on me so please say hi, everyone? :)
Hugs,
Yenn
Looks like we will only be there Monday. Just gotta have a cookout with all the kids Sunday! Hope to meet some of you I have not, and say good morrow to some I have not seen this year. See you all at the final day before the countdown to opening day 2010 begins!
I have missed out on the R/F pin by the way, are they still available? I think we need bumper stickers...it'd be nice to know RFers when we see them out in the "other" world. I worked in the same office with and RFer right here in Wichita Falls for 3 months before someone else told us we should meet because of our love of Faire and found out we had seen each other at Faire, but didn't recognize the other in the 'dane world. Bumper stickers...
Would my rogue and I be welcomed to join you for the meet and greet? We had so much fun this year with season passes we are thinking of getting friends of the fair passes next year. We would like to meet everyone. Would we be welcomed?
Just letting ya'll know that we Bayou Scoundrels will be there in spirit. That's just a bit early to be getting up and going for us. Don't think I've seen opening cannon since I joined up in fact. We've tried. Just doesn't work out. We'll have to see everyone inside.
Of course you and your rogue are more than welcome, Lady Stitch!
It will be great to see you- whenever,Grov! Huzzah to the Bayou Scoundrels!
See you on the morrow!
Looks like we will be there for the cannon, but not the meet and greet. My fuzzy babies need food and the shop doesn't open until 9AM. Is the meet and greet after the parade still a go as well ?
The post-parade meet 'n' greet is always a go, every day, only of 2 or 3 show up :)
It's a little after 0200 here in 2051 at CMDF ([University of] CharleMagne, Denmark Facility) and with all the delays and unexpected events, I'm a bit hesitant to say that I shall be back there soon in a few hours.
I feel like the Great Eastern Seas God Makomba, savior of many a sea Captain, who manages to arrive at the last moment in a blast of smoke, coughing, wheezing, singed.
But I'm awake, the equipment is warming up, and in about 4 hours, I'll step into the Time Displacement Capsule for a 3 hour trip to get back to you all.
Rain or shine, the weather won't stop me. In fact, rain might be slightly easier for that llama wool is meant either for rain or cold.
I look forward to seeing old friends and making new ones.........especially since I will be seeing all over and over again in the pictures.
Crossed fingers.
