Well, I had quite the ambitious schedule mapped out early on but I've been scrubbing shows from the docket pretty regularly.  I'll list here what was the original plan and cross out the shows I've had to scrap plans for thus far...

First half of year:

BARF (every weekend throughout run)
TnRF (Memorial Day Weekend)
John Levique Pirate Days

Second half of year:

NYRF
MiRF
MDRF (Labour Day Weekend)
TRF (Weekend before Halloween) *
SMF (November)



* subject to budgetary feasibility... may be scrubbed as well

[LadyDracolich]

Well, so far:  Gulf Coast, NCRF, GARF, and TNRF.   Planned for the rest of the year:  MDRF (Labor Day), CRF, Mobile, ALRF, and a Renaissance themed wedding in Maine in Nov.

Woohoo!

[Frederic]

I've just been to Silver Kingdom in Mass, the next one will be Southern CTRF in July, and the last one will be CTRF where I'll be volunteering and hope to be there several weekends.  We'll have to see about any other faires in between them - I have to drop my daughter off at college near Albany in August, so maybe something in New York this year!

One weekend at KYRF http://www.kyrenfaire.com/

One weekend at GLMF http://www.medievalfaire.com/

Twelve days and nights at Pennsic http://www.pennsicwar.org/penn37/
It's not really a renfair, but if you're a rennie, you haven't lived until you've experienced a Pennsic night with thousands of people in garb and firelit parties.

All eight weekends at ORF http://www.renfestival.com/

[Deborah]

Already went to KyHRF, which was awesome.

To come, my home faire, NYRF...Sterling and possibly Pennsylvania.

Oh, and Catskill Mountain Renaissance Fest, which is only one weekend but it's right around the corner.

Toki and I are going to CoRF and planning on TRF (duel visit to see his mom in Corpus and to visit TRF for the weekend) and maybe KCRF

[Master James]

Lady D, my lady and I plan on being at KCRF probably Oct 8 weekend.  Any idea when you are planning your trip?  Would be great to meet up with you if possible.

[Lupa]

So far this year:
BARF
TNRF

Later in the season:
MDRF
PARF

That is probably all we'll be able to do this year.

Master James.

we are not yet sure as of this time if we will make KCRF this year or not. That time is near when we are talking of TRF, but then again TRF may be Thanksgiving weekend or closing weekend. A lot has to do with $$$ and if we can swing both or not and then there is the time off. We can make KC in 1 day so we would leave on a Friday in Colorado drive all day and make KC at night. We woulf hten leave Monday for CO. It once again all depends on $$$ and then time off. Right now I am a contractor and as such get zero vacation. So that means UN-paid time off for me.

[Master James]

Lady D I fully understand that!  I was just looking at costs to fly out, get a hotel and car not to mention food and such and while not astonomical is a bit expensive so we have to plan carefully too.  It would be great to see you if possible.  As things get closer hopefully the stars will align and I'll see you there!

[Matty Pine Brownie]

As for I, Cloisters definitely.
Hoping to make Tuxedo.

Things are a little crazed and tricky right now, but otherwise finances dictate the trips right now.
