Title: Countdown to Opening Cannon 2010
Post by: Hector on October 04, 2009, 03:17:44 PM
With the Northern Shire wrapping up things, its finally time to start the countdown for 2010 in the Southern Shire.

Just -- hey?  when are they posting the 2010 dates? -- days to go.

LOL...and we don't really know how many hours and minutes yet...

but anyway...HAZZAH!

(Just gotta tease you a bit Hector, 'cause we all know how long it usually takes for the faire website to update...perhaps we'l be lucky enough to get the inside scoop earlier this year.)

yes, they are notorious about that Anna.  I do not wish for their inaction to delay our enthusiasm for another season.

Is everyone getting season passes again this year? I am sure that I will be. Who else?

I am definitely in on that Mickey.  Is there a pool to guess this year's design?

The season pass is a bargain.....buy it!  It usually pays for itself in a coupla weekends.

I think that would be a FABULOUS idea, Hector.  unfortunately, I think our group's libation purchases pay for the entire faire...  :)

Miss you guys.

I wish I could get the pass, alas BARF is a little over 4 hours away while our home faire is only 30 minutes away.
O how I do love BARF though.
We will definitely be coming up at least one weekend.
I was looking to find the website for BARF but it keeps sending me to a faire in minnesota ey

It will be great to see you both this season and no worries Auryn, I am sure the site will be up before the closing weekend.

BWAHAHAHAHA  Florida Sunshine?  Yeah, we've got it, darlin, but that doesn't mean the cold temps aren't here!  Where I live (about 20 miles north of BARF) it was 27 when I left the house this morning.  The next week isn't looking so warm either.  They way things are going, we could have a COLD first weekend of BARF!  Not that I mind! 

By the time everybody comes in we should have the heat and humidity turned back on for ya'll.  Be ready to sweat!  :)

35 Days until Opening Cannon
That's just 5 weeks.
Are you getting excited yet?  I can't help but notice the threads are quiet... considering the proximity of the Faire.

If it's 5 weeks to Opening Cannon, it's 9 weeks to St. Molden's Day
9 weeks
not 9 1/2 but 9!
This place should be buzzing...


Oh, well... just remember...
35 Days until Opening Cannon
Title: Re: Countdown to Opening Cannon 2010
Post by: Hector on January 09, 2010, 10:36:58 PM
Good Count, no worries on the quiet.  We are just stockpiling energy for Gasparilla, H'town, and the return to Fiddles, Fittleswrong, Fittlerude, wherever.
Title: Re: Countdown to Opening Cannon 2010
Post by: Kate on January 10, 2010, 05:25:24 PM
Agreed.  SO many things on my calendar to prepare for BEFORE BARF!  Birthdays (McFukkers, mine(!), some others), weddings (The Goddess' and Duke's!), Gasparilla (YAY PIRATES) and the first birthday of my favorite pseudo-nephew.  I think I have something every.single.week before BARF begins.  And dealing with my step-dad still being in ICU makes me wonder what my faire schedule will actually be like this year.

*yawn* I can haz nap, plz?

Yes, Kate, still sending all the positive mojo I can your family's way!

But it is crazy all the stuff between now and BARF. Doesn't seem like a countdown as just a nice continuation of the next 6 weeks!/size]

Thank you, Anna and Mickey.  Without going into too much, he and my mom were in a car accident on 12/15 and he was flown to Bayfront where he has been in ICU ever since with lung injuries that have sinced turned to pneumonia and sepsis, causing us to find out about additional health problems he'd never mentioned (heart, diabetes, kidneys, etc.)  Fun stuff, huh?

Tailgate starts at 9 so I'll be there at... 8:30?

Much to plan still... much to plan
and just a month to do it
Title: Re: Countdown to Opening Cannon 2010
Post by: Kate on January 13, 2010, 06:14:26 AM
Agreed with 8:30 -9:00 AM arrival.  *IF* I can get the other half moving that early.  Otherwise he'll just have to meet me there because I'm not changing *MY* faire schedule for his slow butt!  :)

We SERIOUSLY need to get on someone about Season Pass Holder preferred parking.  Early arrival means parking on Fowler, practically.
Title: Re: Countdown to Opening Cannon 2010
Post by: Anna Iram on January 13, 2010, 09:03:39 AM
I agree there should be some reversal of parking order. Fortunate for me as I always seem to arrive as the lot is filling and I get rock star parking, but unfair to those who arrive early and then have to hike in from the back fourty!

Glad you'll make it out for Sunday though. Not sure if I will be able to swing 2 days in a row. Its unlikely, but you never know...

Well, I tried to find a countdown ticker for us, but all I got was ad and spyware sites. Can't find the one I used last season.

I do believe there are approximatly 18 days, and 20 hours from this post to cannon!  :)

1556440 seconds....I think?  ;)

How's this:

By the way, did anyone catch the weather forecast for Tampa for opening day?

High of 54, low of 39.

I realize for folks coming from northern regions, that may not sound bad. But here in Florida we refer to that as YEAH-RIGHT-LIKE-I'M-GONNA-GO-OUTSIDE-IN-THAT weather.  :o

Yeah, well, if Peterson gets low attendance, he has only himself to blame for bumping it up a week.
I'll refrain from name calling but this was about the most half-arsed thing I have ever seen. Everyone knows February sucks.

Oh, and why hasn't the website been updated?
Twig is not at our faire, I don't care to see Twig and I'm tired of looking at her picture.
So why can't we have a website that is exclusively OURS?

And no idea who the entertainment is. Guess we find out when we get there.
Frankly, I think Seamus will be the best entertainment we have.

No Kings Sing? I love hearing our good King sing!  :(

http://www.bayarearenaissancefest.com/2010barfweekend1broadsheet.pdf

For those of you who don't have a warm cloak, consider picking up some polar fleece from Joanns or Walmart. It's pretty cheap and won't require any sewing. If you have any pieces leftover bring them along to faire. I guarantee you'll find some poor freezing soul in peasant garb to pass it along to.

Stay warm and have fun all. :)

Tailgate in one hour.....HOUSEKEEPING!!!

Well, it was a good day in all. Me, my bf, and 4 girls. We arrived about 930 and left at 5. The girls were done. I met a few R/F people, sorry I don't remember everyone's name. It was indeed cold, but not unbearable. We may go back tomorrow, but without the young ones. ;D

Get on down here!  It was 40' this AM at tailgate, and even the scotch had a hard time penetrating the cold.   But the tailgate was a success, and we met friends new and old.   There was even some food left over!    From what I understand, we had less than 2000 thru the gate today. 

On the other hand, I've been to Akron at this time of year...

Wenchie's new hat is gorgeous, Leinad's new hat is smexy (and Antiquing is goofy!), it was cold 9oh shush you  Northerners -- we all moved to FL because it was supposed to be WARM!).

Tailgate was fab, I'm always carrying a bagel in my purse (Rose Nyland says HI!), and, as always, WHAT HAPPENS AT FAIRE ENDS UP ON YOUTUBE.

Love you all and so glad I got to see some of my favorite people this weekend.  Now to make it through another week.  *sigh*  Is it Saturday yet?

How is it that I kept moving almost the entire time from opening cannon to about 3, and saw virtually no one after the tailgate?

We went to see the Chess Match at 3:30, and afterward I realized I should have kept moving. I started to shiver uncontrollably. I got a cup of coffee and stood in the sun, and managed to warm back up, but that was enough for us.

Knew I should've worn my wool pirate coat over my kilt.

Oh no, Lady D!  Hope you're okay!  Sunday was weird... all the people I was waiting to see weren't there!

And we were tailgating until half past ten so if you were there for opening you could have made tailgate!  LOL

Time to start planning THIS weekend!

8:30, you know the place.  Who is bringing what?!?!?!

I gotta bag of frozen kit kats with ya'lls name on 'em!

We will be there this Saturday but not planning on getting there till closer to 12:30. I will have the whole family this time so its even harder to get every one out the door and also means more money spent on food so we plan to eat prior. This way we can stay till closing and the wee little one wont be too crabby.

Who is planning on going on the Friday? We are going with out kids since its a school day for them and taking off work ourselves. This way we can get a little sillier with our beer and attend the queens tea. Anyone planning for tailgating that day?

We all show up to the parking lot between 8:30-9 AM.  Parking will be along with far fence (basically as soon as you turn in).  When Seamus gets there on time we actually have a table.  Bring something yummy to share!  We goof off in the parking lot until Cannon and then wander in!

Hope to see you tomorrow!

Wine and Alchemy is suddenly going to be here? That's news to us. Last I heard they were doing Arizona because of contract issues with BARF.

Gotta say, I'm not sure what contract issues there were.  They were offered a contract, and we even spoke to them on the phone... then nothing.  Next thing we knew they were doing AZ.  They were shceduled because we honestly thought that through our conversation they were coming.  Have tried to call them since with no response or return call.  Maybe AZ offered more money and they decided to take that contract.  I understand them taking a more lucrative contract, but since we were talking to them, the nice professional thing to do would at least been to inform us.

..and then there's the not so clever .... ::)

It's clear some of you have forgotton how to go to faire and just have fun, unless it means your clique or clan against another. Sad what you all are turning faire into.

My husband, the Brit, is delighted there will be haggis, and plans to enjoy some.

Different strokes for different folks........

Me, I would take the magnifying glass and set it on fire  (the haggis, that is)   :D

This thread is locked. It's one thing to be playfully childlike, quite another to be childish and mean. Enough.

Thanks to everyone for a great day at Faire yesterday and sorry I wasn't with you there today.  Am looking forward to a great weekend next weekend, with those in Tampa for all of the events going on.

Hector,

We missed you today.  I hope you stayed somewhat dry out there in AZ today.  Can't wait to see you next week. 

Much love.

P.S. Get in touch with Esc in re: champagne next weekend.  We've gotten the parking lot taken care of by paying off the parking trolls with breakfast sammiches. :)

Count Adolfo - you'd better be there this weekend - i'm looking forward to see you and your handsome son again; he has the best manners and i adored his hat - any word on whether there will be chewy jello at the tilted kilt? - i think your son got a good laugh at us trying to balance plates, silverware and glasses on top of chinese jello!
