only 1 more weekend

[duffy]

i cant believe this will be the last weekend. we missed this weekend, just to busy and the forecast didnt help motivate us either. did it rain today (sunday?)  we will be there next sunday, the last day. hopefully we will get to the pub sing, we never seem to get there.  was thinking of going to parf in october just to stretch the season out, but dunno. i would have to get a dog sitter and with 3 dogs its hard.

It rained a little in the afternoon, maybe 10 minutes. The rest of the day was just overcast and humid, or what we call normal.

No definitely not a washout on Sunday.  A bit of rain that, once it fell, never left.  Humidity was the biggest problem.

About that rain, though:
I was at Merry Mischeif's performance at the Court Pavlion.  They were performing out in the banches, rather than on stage, a wonderful, intimate sing-along gathering.  We heard the rain start, and they both looked around, concerned that they might need to make a dash for the pavilion.  We could see it was raining all around us, but not ON us.  Someone said, keep playing, you're playing the rain away.

That shower stopped after a couple of minutes, but 5 minutes later it started raining again, and this time there was no respite.  We all retired to the pavilion, the music started again, and all was well with the world.  Tho I have to admit I felt a little awkward up there, standing next to Merlyn as if I was one of the performers.  I just add a bass line where I can, and keep time with my stave.

That's exactly where I was, BrotherBarnabus! I stayed out on the steps to the stage so the rain could cool my noggin. It was great fun to pack everyone onto that multi-tier stage, like the audience becoming part of the show. Good times!

As others have said - two brief rain storms, one very brief.  The humidity was a drag - you felt like you were breathing underwater, but in all, an excellent day at faire.

Did you have the tartan or the plain kilt?  I had the red bandanna on my head and red ribbons round the arms.

I had the Dark Blue tartan, Hunting MacRae, and the elk antler staff.

my wife thinks im crazy, but i thought it would be cool to have a party sometime in october for r/f people to come to in garb. yeah i know i dont know anyone, but it would be fun.

[Tygrkat]

Duffy, a few of us have been kicking around the idea of a garbed event outside of Faire ~ especially since there are quite a few of us who haven't had the opportunity to meet up this season ~ I say Go For It! 

...Irish, SterlingFan, I'll see you at 2pm on Sunday! (if not before  )

[duffy]

we will be there next sunday and try to make the bad dog meet. you get so caught up yah lose time.


as for the get together, i would guess it would all depend on how many people would be interested and would actually come. i have 3 acres with trails, a swamp and some open area. could have a camp fire and you could even camp if you liked. i also have a finished bathroom in my walk out basement with easy access to outside. would be best to do it on my vacation im thinking 0ct 4 a sunday or either day the following weekend 10th or 11th.

ill try to post some pics of my place if you are interested, i cant link to a public forum so i will have to figure something out

[duffy]
