Question about flasks

[Marietta Graziella]

Greetings Scarby!

I will have the pleasure of enjoying your beautiful village this year for RenDezvous (HUZZAH!) and was wondering about the policy for flasks.  I have a delicious libation that we enjoy at my home faire that I'd like to share with you.  So, can I bring my flask or do they check 'em at the gate?

Our faire, if they see it, they make you pour it out.

The only way someone will make me pour out me flask is if they are chanting "chug chug chug'' while i tip it back.

Now for the serious answer:

Scarborough Faire is in the city limits of Waxahachie now and operates as a private club to sell beer and wine. Most playtrons bring in flasks discreetly hidden. If you flagrantly drink from your flask in the presence of law enforcement officers, the consequences could be pouring out the flask, expulsion or even arrest.
As far as I know, this has yet to happen and the regulars would like to keep it that way.
His Excellency carries 3 flasks, but he doesn't wave them under everyone's nose.

And I look forward to to seeing you at RenDevous!

[Nicolas-Antoine]

Do you have a flask?

What? We don't need a flask, this is our home, you bastards.

No flask, no country. You can't have one! Those are the rules... that I just made up!


Sorry - felt a little Izzard there

Serious just so.... serious.    My whole life is serious, that's why i love faire... because it is not.



So a bota full of Loki would be out, huh?   Damn, looks like i'll have to drink it all before cannon.

Yeah walking in with a bottle would probably be frowned upon! 

[Laird Fraser of Lovatt]

Lol... my wine skin, when full of loki, could wipe out a full squad.



Me flask stays in me sporran, until needed.

Just one flask? And you call yourself a Scot?

[Laird Fraser of Lovatt]

Lol... I hope to have a whole fifth of Scotch & Drambuie finished BEFORE cannon.



The flask is to tide me over until later.

I've never had a problem with my flask...though I do keep it hidden when walking through the gates 

[Laird Fraser of Lovatt]

RUSTY NAILS!  If you'd like a few... find me at tailgate.  I can drink but i'm bringing a bit more than i can handle by meself in one sitting.

I will take you up on that!  What do you look like?  I will be most likely over with Eloquent.  Seeing as how she is the Dirt Fairy's (my daughter) favorite friend!  lol!   

[Laird Fraser of Lovatt]

Elo knows me... and we are staying at the same hotel, Lass, during RenDezvous.  I'l be the big, long haired Scot... howling at the moon... at 3am.    

[julessweetie]

lol!  You should be easy to spot!      See you in a few days!

My pirate coat has pockets for 6 loki flasks, or my belt pouches (4-6) always have loki flasks in them, my bota bag is always full of rum (well, starts off full at least) and I have never once been asked anything about any of it.
I have been stopped on the way out of the gate to empty my mug which can be a bit of comedy in itself depending on how full it is at the time. And can make the walk to the car a bit less than straight arrow.

*The day I am asked to pour out my rum is the last day I attend a faire... that would be extremely expensive for me*
