First weekend wrapup

[Jonas_MacPherson]

Got home with enough aches in my legs to remind me that I haven't walked that long in at least two years. But ya know, I seriously needed this ren fair. I felt more positive, more relaxed and more willing to play and flirt than I have in the past. Maybe this is a sign.

Anyways, for those of you I missed contacting this weekend, I'll try again next saturday. *can't miss me....look for the brown boots with a slight splash of yellow...or better yet, track down Charlotte and see if I've passed by at some point. *

So good seeing old friends, hopefully I'll make a few new ones, and thanks one and all for a glorious weekend, even if it rained like a maniac sunday. See you next saturday.

*btw, anyone have a good name for a scottish/english lord/privateer character? Sean made several suggestions, but I'm still at the semi nameless stage*

It was a great 1st weekend! Although I do miss being out there in the crowd! It was fun though! Next weekend will be even better! Come say hi at the Merch booth by the front gate. The main one.

[Princess Alice]

My shop flooded when it rained today!  Like truly flooded, had to sweep the water out with brooms.
But it was a good weekend, minus the rain and my pained feet.

Hello,
As a few of you noticed, I'm no longer at fish, but I am at Steak on a Stake about 20 feet away, and around a corner. So come visit, I'm still here.

My first weekend went fast, and I meet a cute boy today But I'm bad at talking to cute boys, so the girls at my booth are going to teach me lol.

While nothing particularly worth note happened this weekend, it was splendid being back.  Saw lots of old friends who I'd sorely missed over the year and got a wondrous painting from Charlotte on Sunday.  Captain Spleen seemed to enjoy it a lot...something about breathing...

7 more and can't wait for the fun to really begin!

[Capt Gabriela Fullpepper]

ONLY 7 more?

Why can't there be more?

Oh well, we shall take what we get.

There's always Santa Fe in September....

[Francisco Paula]

So wrap up of the weekend. Saw tons of people i havn't seen since closing last year....lots of hugs. Hung out most of the time with the old captain jack and a few of his co-horts. Came away with much lighter pockets and some nice trinkets. Saw one or two shows. Hmm think that is it.

[Capt Gabriela Fullpepper]

There's always Santa Fe in September....

OR... Maybe Minnesota

True, but Santa Fe is only one weekend AND it's much closer (6 hrs drive) AND it's soooo much fun.  Those of us who went last year just had a ball. 

[Radu the Gypsy]

I've never been to the Santa Fe show, but make it out to Minnesota about every other year.  Fantastic people and fantastic shows.  And the weather is *usually* just about right.

[RenaissanceBarbie]

I have never done MN but I'm really going to try to make it up there this year.  It's supposed to be a magical place..... 

[Cynthia_Orella]

Gotta admit It was wicked fun! I had a great time shouting and making a fool of myself over at the crystal stix booth. COME AND SEE ME!!! But I saw lots of people and even a few of the pictures on here were looking familiar this opening weekend. muahaha wonderful to see everyone!

For Delaney and I, it was a wondrous day Saturday. I was impressed with some of the new things that were in the various shops that we visited. I bought a great silver knobbed walking stick from the broom place over by the jousting arena. It was a good price for a very solid sturdy stick that helped my poor knees out on some of the steep inclines around faire. I am going to sand the bad black finish off of the wooden handle of the stick and substitute a deep red finish.  My favorite color type. Lady Delaney purchased a black suede tudor tall hat from Excalibur leather. Those people sure are nice over there! She later bought a scarf to go around the brim of the hat and the folks at Excalibur leather sewed it onto the hat for her. That was very nice of them. Cheers to the folks at Excalibur leather.
    We looked for Ginger, but couldn't find her. So, we will keep looking. We found Zoe..who sells pink lemonade now...sweet! And we talked with Mistress Charolotte, Sir Garath, Capt. Jack..and the other Capt. Jack...commiserated with Avan about his stolen hat... hat thieves burn in hell!!!!... Talked with the Professor...Talked with Tanda, although, I didn't recognize her...sorry, Tanda, I thought you looked lovely...There was Demetrius slaving away behind the Yokohama chicken machine...We saw Hey Aren't you with family, such a lovely family...Queen Tatiana introduced herself to us, yay!  well met, Your Grace!...We saw Lady Remy and Spinanka, who walked by and barely got their picture taken...And, I bet we saw Capt. Spleen, very quickly....I saw Lily Fairy, but didn't have a chance to give her a favor, so I will keep looking. And, we saw Blushing in her new job of mistress of the journal shoppe. Those are nice journals in there. I will have to get one this year. We saw many other folks who I was grateful to see and talk with, if I have forgotten your name...please don't take offence, I will say HI to you on the other days that we are there. It was wonderful seeing everyone again, and you all have my best wishes! Oh, and Lady Delaney and I looked for hamsters...but saw none. Strange that....
