First weekend wrapup

[Francisco Paula]

I would play in the rain but it would look like a beached whale and that just isn't pretty. 

[Blushing]

Bahlien, I saw you several times I believe, from afar.

I've heard that gate on Saturday was average or above average, and Sunday seemed a bit more crowded.

Rain I like, lightening not so much ... and hail HURTS!

[NelleMoorley]

I had a fantastic weekend!  And as to the rain, I love the cooler temperatures, but my dress doesn't like the wet at all.  I took shelter and played dice with the Spaniard untill I lost all my coins, and I probably owe a couple of clothing items too.  Oh well, at least I avoided being hailed on!

I have missed singing at faire too much to complain about anything else.  If anyone gets the chance to hear us sing, tell my newest member how great she's sounding!  I can't wait 'till next weekend, hopefully we'll be able to join brat pack picnic this time.

It was wonderful to see everyone again!  If I missed you this time, I'll catch you next!

[Demetrius]

I have to admit that I prefer the chiller and wetter weekends to the blazing hot ones. Come on, who seriously doesn't like playing in the rain?! 

The rain kills our business- plus- there is nothing worse than a wet hamster with attitude and all...

You all do sound wonderful, even over the fairie boxes. My brother loved his rendition of "Happy Birthday" very much. Thanks so much Ladies!

I much prefer the cooler days myself, but yes, it does kill our business.  Who wants to drink cold soda when it's rainy and cold outside?  I know I wouldn't...

I got to touch a DaVinci box with 47 megapixies in it once.  They tried to convince me to use it, but I was afraid i would break it if I held it too long, and simpy didnt have the guilders to pay for it in that case.

[Jonas_MacPherson]

Tis a wonderful device created by that master of science Leonardo Da Vinci. But keep it all on the hush as the church would most likey burn me at the steak for Herasy and using what they would deem "Tools of the Devil"

And while personally I have never seen a pixie, I have seen fairies and I can only trust what the merchant who sold me this wonderous device told me. But then again it works and thus it must be true. My only question is the .1 pixie... did they lop off her head to get the .1? Or maybe it's a pregnant pixie I guess I may never now.

Oh and please take no offence to me calling you a pirate. There are those even in the Queens court who would consider Sir Walter Raliegh and Sir Francis Drake pirates and not nobles, especially those pesky Spanish.

So I'd be more than happy to have you stand in front of my Da Vinci box so my 8.1 pixies can capture your likeness

No offense taken. And I would be more than honored to stand in front of said Da Vinci box. And yes, unfortunately, nobles of other countries don't have a sense of humor when one takes their vessels in the name of England, especially during wars. I've seen many a soul go over to the dark side due to just that.

Such is life I suppose.

I have to admit I was rather amused by Sunday. That hail storm was brilliant. My Boss was getting the kids to singing "rain rain go away" then the rain got worse.. then it hailed. I say blame the children for not putting their whole hearts into it. BUT that was a round about way of saying the hail storm was great for business. it trapped a whole bunch of people in the crystal stix booth, and they bought stuff... which is shocking since they couldn't play with them in the cramped space.

[Tanda]

Because I'm an addict and I hate my job. I'm calling in sick tomorrow to come play with you all. Yay. That, and I really am sick. I'd just rather be sick at Faire than sick at work. Being sick and coughing is not good when you handle other peoples food.

[Francisco Paula]

Have fun all i will probably be there sunday but hanging with family so if i look like i need rescuing well you get hte hint heheh

[Capt Gabriela Fullpepper]

Glad to hear you'll be sick Tanda and not going to work. Faire is always the best place to get better... and it's funner.

Toki and I will be there. I decided against my red Katherine Parr Dress as it has a 50% chance of rain tomorrow and since it has a slight train it would get very dirty not to say muddy if it does rain. So i'll be back in my green and gold dress minus the doublet

See you all tomorrow

Who wants to deliver a message this week?
Not to the knights though...someone else!

[Ronald the Bald]

We made it to the first weekend. Just got home from our vacation in the last hour, so couldn't post till now.

I don't think we met anyone from the list except Blushing.

We did see a bunch of people we know from Scarby. It was good to finally see some of the acts that I don't have time for at my own faire.

Strangest thing we saw was fire department inspections during the faire, both days on opening weekend. Never seen that happen at any of the other faires I have attended. And there were fire hydrants sticking out of the ground!

In a few days I hope to have time to sort and post all the pics I took. I will put a link in the picture thread.
