Sorry, but being over in Virginia like I am... and out further west of DC, at that... I'm absolutely no use on places out there.  -_-

Looks like everything is falling into place! Scotsman, you're doing a great job so far as host!

For those of us who will be at faire but cannot attend the friday night gathering, is it safe to assume that the White Hart & the Dragon is where most folks will be during the day?  Is there a plan to gather all together at any point in the day inside the gates?  We need one huge group picture!  Can that be arranged somehow?

And, off topic, who else is planning to stay at KOA?

Great question and yes, we are working that ... should be posted soon. Basically we are looking at an empty stage to meet at for a photo. Should be easy. What we are waiting for is there are cast members who we need to see what their schedules are so we know the best time to get the group photo. It is important for me that everyone be included in the photo.

Awesome.  Thanks.

I know that the IWG wenches will be holding their meet & greet at the Dragon at 11am both days, and the M'Cracks have their thing at 3 at the White Hart.  Maybe right after pub sing, but before folks hit the gate, we could pick a day and all meet over by the joust field or something.  Ooh, maybe over there along the side fence?  That would seem to be a large enough area, patrons would be scarce over there (so we wouldn't be bothering anybody and they wouldn't be in the way!), and we'd not require the use of a stage. 

Just a thought.

Just bought me a new pop up so the wife and I will be there all weekend.  Coming in Friday and leaving Monday.

That's awesome.  We''ve got a cabin for the same time frame.  We'll have to share a couple of drinks around a fire or something.

Yeah, we tried that last year during our regular Labor Day invasion and discovered that the mere size of that group (which will pale to Rendevous) was really difficult the get everyone in the picture. The stage seemed like a great fit because the photograpers can be on the stage and fit everyone in with depth. The trick, as you have highlighted, is the time ... we will iron it out, no worries.

Scotsman, and everyone else involved in the Rendezvous....

As we get closer and closer to Rendezvous weekend, is there a chance there might be a single consolidated post of "here are the events and times and places"?

I keep thinking to myself, that I need to print out this page, and that page and oh yes, that other page...and was just thinking a "here's what's happening when" thread as R-Day approaches would be quite handy to print and take with us right before we leave. I'm afraid I will have forgotten something and not be able to connect to the internet in the hotel, that we'll forget the cell phone chargers or that the GPS will choose that day to give up her ghost!

Just random thoughts from a Rendezvous newbie. For all I know this is standard practice.

Thanks!

I'll be setting up my tent there, as well.

This is a great idea and WILCO (= Will Comply). I figure by the 2 weeks out mark (fast approaching) we should have all the kinks out, so yes, I will ensure one consolidated page to give the broad who, what, when, where, and of course why.

Thanks for your input.

That's great!  I'll look for you, too!

once the entertainment sched. is posted at the mdrf main site (rennfest.com), you should have a better grasp on stage availability. . .  but make sure you get an OK from mgmt before assembling such a crowd (which is the main reason why FriendsOfMDRF.org has their group shots taken outside the main gate)

just suggestions

Thanks bro ... I am hoping Lady G can provide some assistance here ... worse case we will do it outside.

Goodness have I been gone from this website for this long?  Why does real life always get in the way of my fun?  I was planning my weekends for September and October since, sadly, I work every other weekend.  Then it occurred to me that I was missing a group of people who adore the fest too.  My hard drive crashed a while back and it took me a while to finally find this webpage.

As I'm thumbing through the forums it turns out I have rendezvous off.  Finally some luck.

So, is there anyway I can help assist?
