A cheery little thought:  CRF 2010 opens 21 weeks from today!

So, anyone have any information they would like to share, or rumors they would like to mong, regarding the upcoming season?

I hear that there will be even MORE Hamsters.

That Hamster jousting will make a comeback and Noble Cause will be out of jobs because Hamster Jousting is more popular.

That the Baron and Baroness are REALLY the good King and Queen and the King and Queen are really just Baron and Baroness.

That I won't take any more photos of people in faire garb, only those in Mundane garb.

That Charmings new partner is a Hamster.

Celtic Legacy had to drop the bagpipess because someone complained of them strangling a cat so they now use a Kazoo

And there will be Season tickets on sale... forthe 2020 season ut they are only good for one year

Dont forget that Jim is selling Colorado to focus on his true love, Pennsylvania.  He plans on selling it to a coalition of Rennies.

Best of luck to you as I hear the Judge in Court can be a real stickler. And watch out for the fines and jail time.

Ok... now the rumor about the sale of CRF has gone on for many years now.  In all reality, JP makes a lot of money in CO.  The icee factory is in CO not PA.  All the costumes for cast are in CO not PA. Not that if someone offered him a humongous sum of cash, he would probably sell.  I would be surprised if it was more than just rumor.

As far as knowing who is on cast or not... remember there were a lot of regular cast let go right before opening weekend last year.  No one is really secure in their position until the last week of faire.  After all, even if you do get to work a few weeks.... you can always get fired and rehired the same day by the same guy.

I don't know if I will be back this year.  Not a negative, just a reality.  Time will only tell.

Tanda will be climbing 14ers rather than attending faire.
Lady De Laney will be a pirate more often.
Periwinkle will shed her horn to prepare for mating season.
The Professor will forget more about history than the rest of us know together.

Happily, the first part to that is actually true and happened last year...as for the other part, I will have to look into it...  "I'll buy you a hat.  A really big one."  Might have to have a lot of feathers on it, hmmm....

Fantastic!  I shall begin the hiring and firing process now.  Jim Paradise will be fired and replaced with an untrained monkey.  Things can only improve from here.  

All existing musical groups will be required to audition with their choice of song from "Pavarotti's Greatest Hits".  

All existing court members must re-audition as well, and must display a variety of talents, including, but not limited to: Sitting, Eating, Talking, and Waving.  Court shall be reduced to 3 members.

Existing Street Cast (All 3 of you) will also be required to re-audition.  Talents to display will include: Putting up with everything and anything on a whim, and any 8 of the 10 following skills: Storytelling, Juggling, Dancing, Singing, Spinning, Blacksmithing, Leathercrafting, Chicken Plucking, Cooking, and Random Street Insults.  Street cast will be increased to 99 (because 100 is just excessive)

New auditions must come dressed in their very best, off the rack, polyester garments, and show an amazing lack of understanding of weather patterns, and the need for water through the day.  

Other requirements to be announced on day of auditions.

Oh silly girl, I know there are two faires there.  I was referring to the location as in state... ie CO and PA not CRF and PTB.

Um, Holy, it was a joke.

Actually one of the "rogue" organizations was organizing to make JP an offer last year.  There were several rumors flying. Did not notice that you were joking.
