Thanks a bunch.

Now I have to shift from busy mode to panic mode.

Being onsite just about every weekend, I see the continuing booth construction as this Faire comes together and provide my services to clear the grounds. Along with that I have to get the Patron and Participant campgrounds ready.

Volunteers are really needed to take care of all the little (hmm, not really little) details of cleaning up the grounds. If you can help, please respond to Volunteers@sherwoodforestfaire.com. Alex, who is the volunteer coordinator, would love to hear from you. We need folks willing to come out and spend a day or even a few hours helping on the 'To-do" list posted on my travel trailer.

Cant wait till the new faire opens. ;D
Just hoping i find a job so i will have money for spending.

Mpullen: To quote Shakespeare in Love:

Philip Henslowe: Mr. Fennyman, allow me to explain about the theatre business. The natural condition is one of insurmountable obstacles on the road to imminent disaster.
Hugh Fennyman: So what do we do?
Philip Henslowe: Nothing. Strangely enough, it all turns out well.
Hugh Fennyman: How?
Philip Henslowe: I don't know. It's a mystery.

And with that, I gleefully announce 53 days to go!!!

oh, and, I'll be out this weekend- Clan Procrastination is clearing the next three weekends, although, we do tend to, well, procrastinate!

We may have to work together on this one....
This is Texas, right? What's with this freezing temperature? It's not going to get above 26 for the next 3 days.

I wear my balmoral when I kilt up....  I'm a Scot from Clan Gunn.
The baldness of Merlin takes lots of shaving but it's a must to conjure the elements proper.

Aren't you the one who wants to tape me inside a portapotty?

I've got something for you when we meet.... yesssss.... drink up my little pretty !
Muahahahahahahaha  *cough *cough*

 I only do weather spells for faire! The rest is up to Gaia!
Happy for your help, Merlin!
I don't love this freezing weather either!
I did not move to TX to be cold! Vt was cold enough for me! BRRR!

as long as it's over 50 and under 75, i am happy as a clam! (picky, i know!)

under 50 is good for me too... lol gotta LOVE having a faire close enough to be able to go HOME at night if you want to!

Chilly is ok. Cold is not. I can layer up though and hide in shops if needed.

Still going back and forth on whether I'm going to camp or go back to Austin and stay with some friends of mine...decisions, decisions.
Still Meggers, just a little more grown up now. :)

What time will the gate open on opening day?

That's what I shoot for.....
I only do weather spells for Faire also...

At Scarby last year...I added a wee bit too much eye of newt and caused the dragon to cry which brought the rain.
I've figured out how to correct this one but to bring the dragons breath in Winter is something I have to research.

50-75 is ideal !

Zardoz- at 10, i believe, but that's just conjecture from the show schedule... it actually doesnt say on the website when gate is!
