Possibly (probably) looking for work

[Princess Alice]

Do any of you have contact information for these people? (Betty for the front gate, Melissa for merchandise, Zoe your boss, etc).  Obviously over a message or email if you prefer since this is a public forum.  But it would be easier/more efficient than applying through the main website.

[Zoë]

The e-mail on the site on the "e-mail the castle" link goes to my boss, Paul.  I don't know what success you'll have getting a response via e-mail from him, but if you call the main office and ask to leave a message or talk to him, you might have better luck that way.

[Hey- Arent You?]

and, Melissa answers to Paul as well. Paul is over F&B & merch. chances are, if you apply for employment, they will decide where to put you. If you want to try for gate, call the main office number and ask for Betty. odds are, corporate is the more "secure" of the 2 options. Paul lives out of state, so don't expect a quick response.  ;-(  Paul is however, a really nice guy (IMHO).

[Zoë]

He's probably the best boss I've ever had. 

Princess Alice, if you end up filling out a general employment application (available on the site shortly) feel free to put down my name, I'd be happy to vouch for you to Paul when orientation time comes around.

Paul is awesome- just don't bother him when he's busy.

I hear Zoe is a slave driver... notice the pop booth is ten feet from the stockade.... I mean, there's a reason they put Zoe at the top of the hill!   

and ye don't have t stand next to a grill all day sweating on the chicken.

I believe that would be "sweeting," 'tis the finest chicken in the land! One advantage to standing by a grill all day- hundreds of people tell you you are hot! Why thank ye!

The patrons at our faire love it when we have fun with them.

Spot on, Master Demetrius!

Cheers to thee! Baron & Baroness- two of our favorites- we always look forward to your arrival.

I do keep a whip in the back of the booth...although I tell people it's for dealing with unruly patrons....

And the reason I'm at the top of the hill is so that when my booth floats away when it rains I can get good momentum to booth-joust with Teriyaki Chicken!

So I know I'm late to the party, Alice, if you want to speak with Me (Melissa) Or paul about the positions at the faire working for merchandise or F&B, please call the castle rock office. They will take your information and send it on to us. You have to specificly ask for them to call me though if you wish to speak with me.

Either place is great to work. though if you like a fast paced day food will probably be your best bet. Merchandise can be really slow, and you have to be very comfortable approching people and helping them realise they NEED another mug or shirt. Merch. Is a great place to make relationships with patrons, and some cast, we tend to not have lines like food.

And mgrundy is the best at it that I've ever seen.  In fact, I now have a whole closet full of garb that I didn't know I needed until I made her acquaintance!

[Zoë]

Huzzah!

I've seen yer booth meandering about like a ship out of Monty Python- in the driest of weather.

...if you like a fast paced day food will probably be your best bet.

See- and apparently yer booth can move at a good clip!

Merchandise can be really slow... [like forever] we tend to not have lines like food.

They love us they love us they love us! Oh how I love the lines and all the people in them...

If I don't put a leash on that thing, it gets about wherever it likes to go...

My Cart can join the booth Joust too. If the rain is like it was last year I am going to have to get arm floaties for my Cart girls lol

What a visual!  LOL!!

[Radu the Gypsy]

I have this image of you atop your booth, a garland waving madly over your head shouting "tallyho!  Onward to the Joust!" while kicking the roof with your heels...

What can I say, I have a simple if vivid imagination.

I was also thinking ... "Hmmm, wet cart girls!"
