TRF MUST SEE:  4:00 Auction at The Pirates Cove. It is without a doubt the BEST SHOW at the faire.   

My memory's a bit hazy, so forgive me if I'm wrong here, but is the Pirates Cove the store that had everything $11 last season, or is it the one across the way?

Close... That is where we hold the Auction each day.  That is called "Captain Reds $11.00 Shoppe" where everything inside is $11.00.  "The Pirates Cove" (where I work) is the one that looks like a big pirate ship across the way from that one, and also across the way from Castle K'Zar purveyer of what has been deemed "Jewelry Quality Leather".  ((Blue666669 will be found there))

Kiss cards? Element, you better clue me in on this cause I am unknowing of such things at TRF. I don't want to fall prey to something like this...

I might retort a bit more haughtily then most. "Ok, well...don't mind if I bend over then...*

Ahahaha Ok will do.

It is a card that the Guttenburg Press creates for sale of 10 cents each I think and well you can give them to people and it says exactly that on them. "This Card Entitles the Bearer to One Free Kiss from any willing man woman or beast."

If you accept, you keep the card and have the choice to kiss that person how YOU please. (if you go for the cheek they might whip their face around really fast to where you kiss their lips) If you do not accept/ kiss them you do not get the card. if you accept, the card is yours, you can then go to someone YOU want to kiss and give it to them and see if they accept.

It is kinda fun when you know the people but it can also get really weird.

AMEN sister... I have has some rather "odd" looking women come and try to redeem them from me.  I simply tell them "Thank you for the flattery, but I must decline as my wife would not approve".  LOL... wife knows I'm a lech at faire and would expect nothing less just as I know she's a flirt. ((HELL, my wife has a picture of me in a rather intimate looking kiss with a very dear friend of ours from a couple years ago, taken by that friends at the time boyfriend who immediately ran over and showed it to my wife, LOL.))

Umm.. That seems to be the case   'Tis true, you can add some nice "pretties" (although not quite functional) to your collection.

You'll have to come by and see for yourself.  Normally it's all kinds of swords and weapons and stuff, sometimes it's special items that are ONLY available through the auction.  I do not control the auction, I remain over at the ship to keep it on course while the Cap'n is over at the Auction.

Considering I got a Scottish Claymore for $20 last year for wall decoration, that auction ROCKS!!

[Chandler]

Awesome.  I'll definitely be there Saturday.

All that food talk really has me licking my chops.  So much food to try, so little time

[PyroMaster]

The Royal Fireworks (of course!)

For those of you keeping score.  THAT was a blatant plug.

  I am so ashamed.

Here's 2 different ones I have. Got some when I joined the IBRSC and Ren Mercs. But if you're having to resort to using these to get kisses from the ladies (or animals) you're doing something wrong..lol

Shows: Shunyata Bellydancing are AMAZING! Sound and Fury are hilarious and bawdy! Arsene is awesome entertainer!

Now I feel kind of bad... Shunyata Bellydancing was the one show I saw last year I actually left out of the list. They are a great act as well, I just didn't want my list to be a copy-and-paste of every show I saw in 2007.

The two shows I'm seeing this year that were not on my list last year are Christoph the Insulter and Gypsy Dance Theatre. The former, because curiosity has the better of me after reading another thread here, and I want to see who Kroger thought was too bawdy for their ORF sponsorship dollars (also, I missed him last year, as I had no idea how long his act would run and I didn't want to miss Sound and Fury down the row at the Odeon). The latter, because I missed them last year due to the schedule posted online being different from what actually wound up being the schedule at the faire (as I alluded to in a previous reply).

And to the previous poster who posted about this (too far back to quote), I can agree about Ded Bob being repetitive, at least during the same season.
