Let The Countdown Begin!

[Jack Daw at Work]

Texas weather is only out done by Colorado weather. Here, if you don't like the weather, wait a minute. In Colorado, it doesn't matter what weather you like or dislike, just pause and count to 10. Seriously. I lived there for 2 1/2 years. I saw it first hand.

Especially at the higher elevations, like Estes Park.

I have witnessed the fine edged shower lines around Houston.  Truly bizarre and amazing.

To skew the countdown a wee bit, only one week and 10 hours from right now before I hitch up the trailer and take my place in line with the others.  Of course, for me that will be dependent on whether my customers leave Friday or not.  I sure hope I don't have to work Friday.

Sounds like great faire weather to me! Lets see how it changes as we get closer...

[KiltedPrivateer]

we need to line these up next to each other to see how much they change over the coming week

[bellevivre]

well, that's kinda why I'm posting them here!

[FaeHollow]

lol clouds is a far stretch from scatter t-storms... this is going to be interesting

[Dracconia]

I am excited...
sort of...
Why does money have to do that horrible thing of disappearing when you need it.
There is not enough time to do what I want to. 

I am so ready for an escape from the real world.

College kids have this disease, Poormanitis ..... it sucks but I hear after a few years of study, one or two pieces of paper and someone liking us enough to give us a job, it may go away.....

But I second you there Elo!

[Breandan]

I have worked faire wealthy
I have worked faire poor
I had just as much fun in either case

[JimsDana]

Get yourself a "NET SPEND" or similar card!
Put in $25.00 to $50.00 each paycheck, mine comes straight out of my check!

Now here is the HARD PART!!!

Forget it there until Faire!

Decide what/where you will spend it, i.e. gathering camp items (food and such)
or at Faire (food, garb, what have you).

Careful though some cards do set a limit as to how much you can load.

[Taffy Saltwater]

Also some cards will limit the number of times you can use them in a specific time, as my sister found out during an out of town trip when she really needed to use her money.

Are we there yet?

[Lady Kett]

Oh I wish we were going opening weekend...as it stands we're only planning on Thanksgiving weekend...whimper! Take lots of pics for us!!!

[Just Randall]

Even though it IS just afew minutes past Midnight, it still qualifies as... NINE!! NINE!! NINE DAYS TO GO!!!!!





(Sorry Fraser, could'nt help myself...)

[Sitara]

Looks like I shall be headed down to TRF this year, I was much saddened to nat be able to make it last year.  I will be there for the weekends of the 14-15 and 21-22...no point in drving 21 hours one way and only getting to be there for one weekend.

[Dracconia]

Sadly I live very much paycheck to paycheck...I am hoping to get financial aide so I don't have tuition payments to go with it all...

Can't argue with that logic!
