Countdown to Sherwood Forest Faire 2012

[Magpie Flynn]

I like the only 8 days thing

Gah Merlin you made me laugh while I was drinking and now I have coffee all over my desk.

[maeven]

Merlin, that's HILARIOUS!!!!

[KiltedPrivateer]

They are letting clans in on weekends to set up camps as I understand. If anyone can get in to take a look at PR camp and let me know if there is damage to the stuff set up I would greatly appreciate it!

*might even be a shot of rum in it for you*

Got a reply back from Mike, you are correct, the camp area is open from now until opening weekend, every day.  The catch being that no one is allowed in the faire at all.  So how is this going to work for the privvy?  No idea, maybe management will chime in.

[Merlin the Elder]

Just over two weeks and we'll all be jumping for joy!

1 days, 23 hours, 7 minutes until faire!

  The wife and I just got back from the campgrounds.  A couple of tents look like they may have collapsed and any up turned containers have been filled with water, but aside from that, everything looks fine!

[PollyPoPo]

My clock says 14 days, 22 hours, 51 minutes, 38 seconds.

But that is not using rennie math, just plain calendar (and a countdown clock app I downloaded).

The curses of us using really old laptops - sometimes buttons don't work as they should!

Just being in the campgrounds today re-energized me for faire. Also, my faerie corset is done and will be purchased/shipped soon so my entire garbset will be in my hands, ready to be worn. Druid one day, Faerie the next

[Merlin the Elder]

Okay, now... It will be hard not to know me: I'm the one with the lovely wife, the long beard, and the face that sank a thousand ships. But some of you don't post your picture or it's not cropped closely enough to see (I have very old eyes).

So, Polly, be sure to make yourself known to us, and the rest of you as well! We will be there for opening!!!!!! ...and we're bringing some Sherwood virgins.

Merlin the younger made name tags for many of us with our board names when we had the rendevous.  I just wear mine on my garb. Then again most people can recognize me because I'm standing next to the Pink Pirate who is wearing "What is eccentially a couch with feathers" (his words not mine.)  He is a little hard to miss.

As always, just go running up to someone, compliment their garb, and start a conversation. Best way to meet someone.  I still think I scared Merlin the first time I walked up to him at Scarby opening last year.

[Merlin the Elder]

You didn't scare me, but I didn't recognize you....I'll admit that. It takes a lot more to scare me! ...like looking into the mirror when I get up in the morning...

[Magpie Flynn]

If you see Belle Saturday, you'll have found me!

[Lady Gryphon]

So Merlin,

Do I hug you first or introduce myself and then hug you?  Don't want to give you a apoplexy.

[Merlin the Elder]

I have no problem with the lovely ladies running up to me hugging me.  I would suggest you keep an eye out for Nim...   

[Rani Zemirah]

Oh, please... she'll just roll her eyes and hope they don't knock you down!!! 



Besides, it's not like you'd actually ever try to DRIVE one of those new cars, even if you COULD catch it...       

[Merlin the Elder]

Hell, Rani... I have no delusions, none at all. However, you might be surprised at what tricks a wizard has learned in his many years...

Two weeks from this very moment, we will be up and about, gathering our wits, and preparing ourselves to walk through the gates of Sherwood Forest!
