Hey, When is the next Castleteer gathering?

StareNorthSteve, long time bro.  The last one I went to was so much fun.  I'm ready to defend the castle again.

Colorado Renaissance Festival / New CORF attendance cap

For the first time ever, the Colorado Renaissance Festival sold out of tickets, and that has led the event's organizers to make some changes.
Organizers said that during the July 12-13 weekend — which bore the Pirate Invasion theme — the festival sold out. It's unclear how many tickets that entailed, but the organizers said that ticket sales will be limited for the rest of the year.

Pittsburgh Renaissance Festival / Remembering Terry Griffith

Last post by Patrick - July 16, 2025, 12:23:01 PM

At least some of the people on this forum will remember Terry Griffith, The Irish Troubadour. One year he was knighted Sir Stringslayer. He last performed at Pittsburgh in 2009, and continued to perform at the Great Lakes Medieval Faire until 2017.

When COVID hit, Terry decided to retire altogether.

In June 2022, we held a retirement party for him at Mullaney's Harp & Fiddle Irish Pub in Pittsburgh, where he had performed for 28 years. Pictures and videos can be seen at the links below.

On November 11, 2022, we got word Terry had passed away in his sleep. The number of tributes and stories was amazing. He had such a positive effect on so many people.
