You mean, like an official one? Should it get notarized?

I don't understand how they can stay in business in the first place, since they're only open a handful of days each year. But I'm glad they do.

Yep, got busy and didn't finish the countdown. Opening weekend has now come and gone and weekend 2 is upon us.

In some cases, TRF for example, the vendors are seeing rental prices raised as well. Making it very difficult for some, and impractical for others, to stay in business within the faire. Although, TRF is now under new management, so I'm really hoping that the new team will work to undo many of the money-making-schemes put in place by the former owners. Time will tell. Hopefully the new batch is not out just to make a buck, but to make the faire a magical experience for the patrons.

Just finished a book called Let it Burn, by Allison Montclair (actually Alan Gordon), the 9th of a series about Iris Sparks and Gwendolyn Bainbridge. Set in post-war London, the series follows the adventures of the two women who open a marriage bureau when they realize the end of the war brought the unexpected challenge of men and women trying to navigate rebuilding not only the physical aspects of the city, but also the more prosaic ones such as finding potential partners. And then somehow, they end up solving crimes, too. Actually, the first several books were well-written and interesting, but I haven't found the last few to be up to the early ones. But now I have to start the book for our non-fiction book club in a few weeks; Christopher Finch's Jim Henson: The Works- The Art, The Magic, The Imagination. Quite a change from post-WWII London.

Might it depend on whether the candidate is chewing gum at the time?
