RenDezvous 2011 - It's a date!

[Gauwyn of Bracknell]

And speaking of tickets ...

In years past, the July 4th weekend has been designated "Children's Weekend", during which mini-rennies age 12 and under are admitted free of charge.

Baron, what is attendance like on this weekend (historically speaking, since this actual weekend is not upon us ).

We are set to come, but found out that the Youngs' will be in NY.  Thought about changing weekends, but we know a few coming in for Rendezvous, so we shall stay with our current plan.

Children's weekend has a habit of going either way. It could either be really packed or not at all. The last two seasons, because it has also coincided with the 4th of July landing directly on either Saturday or Sunday, attendance has been down a little--although it's possible that it's because one of the years when the 4th was on Saturday it poured for most of the day. At least that's been my impression; our sales have been down on that weekend of late.

Things should be better this year with the 4th on a Monday and all. But the years that the 4th fell on other days were still a 50/50 shot on the crowd but hey its should be fun this year! Keep your fingers crossed for good weather too!

[Merlin the Elder]

Doesn't your faire have wizards and sorceresses to maintain the weather properly?

[Merlin]

Now I know why they invited us Dad.

Well.... let's get started... I'll go collect the roots, minerals and rat teeth if you'll bring the newts, bark and WHOA  ! ! ! !  I almost gave away the entire recipe!

[Rani Zemirah]

Oh, like we DON'T know it's Jack Daniels... 

[Francisco Paula]

As my friends have indicated above, attendance on July 4th weekend is highly variable.  So, as with most things, you pays you money and takes your chances.  (Pace the Merlins!)

My recipes all call for Jack Daniels, but none goes in the potion... it all goes into the wizard...

[Rani Zemirah]

Wel, I think as long as we're all there (the R/F crew), it's bound to be an awesome weekend, right? 

[Merlin the Elder]

I'm sure looking forward to it. Paying for gas is going to be a problem.  I've advertised myself as a gigolo, but it's not working out as I had planned. I'm having to pay these women too much...

Similar story here. I cook with wine. Sometimes I actually put it in the food.

[Adriana Rose]

hehehe
Some for the pot and Most for the cook

This is gonna be a good one lol

[Lady Kett]

I can see this clearly now...

Add roots, take a swig of Jack Daniels...
Add minerals, take a swig of Jack Daniels...
Add rat teeth, take a swig of Jack Daniels...
Mix while you pour another Jack Daniels...
Add newts, take a swig of Jack Daniels...
Chase down the newts that jumped out of the pot, take a swig of Jack Daniels...
Add bark, take swig of Jack Daniels...
Throw out the pot, hand out swigs of Jack Daniels!

[Merlin the Elder]

Now you understand, Kett!
