Countdown to Sherwood Forest Faire 2012

[maeven]

I'm kinda confused. We got our FoF passes, but we weren't prompted to give a picture. Also, when we got the confirmation email, we only got one set of tickets. Am I reading it wrong?

[KiltedPrivateer]

Last season a separate email went out to FoF pass holders with details about the pictures.  I don't however remember how the tickets worked when buying multiples and I haven't bought mine yet.

This is from the website Maeven:
______________________________________________________
For our returning Friends of Faire, we can use the same photo and faire name as last year if you wish. Just let us know if you'd like to do that.
Submit your information via email to idbadges@sherwoodforestfaire.com.
______________________________________________________

So if you didn't have one from last year, just send them a headshot that you want on the card.
We also only got the one set. Basically, you'll use that to get in the gate the first time if you haven't received your card already.

*I expect a minor rum gift for supplying information :-)*

Thanks so much for the info! Teach, you will get a nice treat come Opening Weekend!

FoF passes procured.  Keeping the fingers crossed to actually be able to attend.

Still have my MoF (Management of Faire) pass from 1st and 2nd year. No free Faire entrance, no free Patron camping. Work from noon Friday to noon Monday (sometimes late into the night). Benefits - meeting a bunch of great folks both in-Faire and in the campgrounds. Wouldn't give it up for anything.

Got bottles of Cold Duck, Pink Champaign, Spumante to celebrate the New Year tonight.

I am so hoping to make it out this year...I am already having withdrawls...only made it to TRF opening weekend this year, was not enough to get my fix! The little pirate is also already asking if we are going to the festival again...

[KiltedPrivateer]

Sure hope you can make it out Wyckd.  You'll love our little cozy spot in the forest (o:

Confirmation on our rooms at the Quality Inn in Bastrop.  The discount was better for being old than for being a Sherwood visitor, but that's okay.  We'll be bringing 3 non-RFers, but they're nice people despite that. One of them just recently (last May) lost his faire virginity at OkRF. The other two generally visit Scarby with us once a year.

I'm hoping for cool weather this year for opening. Last year was pretty warm on both days (for me, anyway), but was at least breezy on Sunday.  We are SOOO excited about coming down again!

[*Teach*]

Last year was a bit warm from beginning to end to me and I generally like it when it is warmer. There was even a day when I almost went down from the heat (aided by new meds and not knowing how they would react with rum). I really just hope there are some showers here and there to help keep the dust down a bit.

*the rum and meds have reached an accord... I can still have me rum*

[KiltedPrivateer]

I agree with the need to keep the dust down, and will add, keep the fire ban away (o:

[Merlin the Elder]

I'm almost afraid to see what the Bastrop area looks like, when we come down next month. Hopefully, the weather will be more helpful this year.
