Who is excited?

[FaeHollow]

Chandler-

Thats how it always worked fpr me... pick a weekend and strike it lucky if you get one other person. Also this forum has TONS of groups that gather and camp and go to faire( maybe some with your garb size ... be nice they may share!) If you hang out here long enough they can be your faire friends... and they will def be there!

Hello! *waves* and who are you and what do you do at TRF? *curious face*
If a German comes up to me and speaks to me in German I will just nod and say yah... repeatedly and then giggle

I manage the bookstore across from the Prince of Wales Pub (where most of the McLotofus gatherings take place). Tis a goodly way from the German area. Don't get over there much.

I know I'm excited.  I've been trying for months now to get my 'group' organized and pick a date to go to TRF this year, but no one's willing to commit.  I'm about to just pick a weekend and say that's when I'm going

The bad thing is, it's sneaking up on me so fast, and I still haven't even started working on my garb for this year.  I might have to dial down expectations this year and go with something a bit more basic than I initially wanted.

My friend, it has taken me almost 3 years to get to the point where i can say "good enough"... for now.  Get an idea/look/persona fixed in your mind and start with the basics.  My first step was my kilt and i built from there.

HAHAHAHA!!! Didn't you know? Getting Rennies to go along with a preconceived plan is like herding CATS!

Or reasoning with a pissed of woman!

Yeah, at this point I'm just going to pick a weekend.  The wife's a little skiddish about not having the fallback of the RV that's usually with our group (even though we always tent camp at TRF), but I think I can convince her that we can survive without it - it's not like we really used it much anyways, other than to keep food in the fridge, etc.

I know what I want - the kilt and the accouterments.  Failing that this year, I might just go for the peasant look.  It's been far too long since I've gone in garb.  At this point, though, my biggest garb concern is to find something for my son to wear.  He'll be turning 1 either right after we go or right before, so this is obviously Ian's first time at TRF and I want him to do it the right way from day 1

That's a tough one... it's got to be simple because he'll grow out of it in no time. Hmmmmm.

Heck, i'm having enough problems trying to convince my best friend to put together some garb... I mean he doesn't need any if he want to go as a Troll but i'd rather him try something out other than ''how much beer can i drink, so i look like a stupid paytron"  He's never went with me when i've been garbed out.  I hope to change his mind about it.

my boyfriends nephew will be coming to trf for the first time... right around the 1 year mark as well ... he was born nov. 11. I am going to make him so tiny fur pants and figure out how to rig up some horns on his head and he will go as puck. I might make him a cute little vest as well! Kids clothes are so cheap to make!

Chandler...Sportkilt.com has infant kilts that will accomadate your little guy until he is about 2 (depending on how big he is). They are also VERY reasonably priced (about $25), and carry baby sporrans in the same price range as well.  Also, check the garbing section on here...lots of ideas pop up for garb for the wee ones.

This will be my sons first year for TRF as well...and he will turning 1 yr. opening Sunday...so I have been checking out lots garb possibilities
