If you are coming out of state... or even in state. The weather is predicted to be in the mid to high 90's on Saturday with a 10% chance of rain. What does this mean. Be prepared to be fried, baked, toasted, roasted and burned and then sprinkled on.

Bring your sunscrean and LOTS, and LOTS and LOTS of water, gateraide in the car, tea, lemonade and Pickle Juice. Try not to drink to much wine, beer, ale, or mead. Take breaks in the shade, and do not over due it.

If you wear your Elizabethan garb, sans sleeves and leave the neckline open to expose jewelry. Have Toki not wear sleeves either.

Even though your garb breathes, take it easy. Getting heat stroke would not be cool at all.

M'Lady and I are so glad our new garb has detachable sleeves!

It is H/A not to wear pants?  :D

Pants or trousers? ;o)  Distinct difference m'lord!


And I will say that the heat out here is generally a drier heat than in many places.  (Current humidity at faire is 14 percent.)

There is a gentleman on court wearing a blue doublet, slashed with cream coloured "shirt" beneath and open sleeves. I have worn that costume, it is plastic backed and not very breathable, please pester him into submission with water and shade.

Funny the only two on court in blue are the Baron and Toki, Baron wears Noblise Oblige of his own and Toki's is a brand new wholy owned by him. I cannot remember any other in blue. Is this the gentleman in question? http://www.pbase.com/delaneyalysa/image/126512241

That would be the Marquis of Sommerset.  If you look closely, the gentleman also wears black leather gloves.  He is, apparently, quite heat-tolerant, but he also takes care to maintain hydration.  Nonetheless, thank you for your words of caution, Master Monk.  I will pass them on.

Any one want to help a lady dress Saturday? Toki got called into work even after he said Not until mid August. I need to be inside at 9 and need strong hands for the corset and help withthe rest.

Best!

Wait a minute, it's not last minute unlacing at cast call?

Knew I was doing something backwards.

I was at www.weather.com, typed in Denver, CO.

The daytime high temps are looking to be in the upper 90's, near 100 degrees for Saturday. Heat Indexes higher.

That means people, take your time! Drink plenty of water and Gatorade! Dress lightly! Use parasols for instant shade! Avoid alcohol that will bring on dehydration and cramps Be sure to eat something!

Most of all!!  HAVE A GREAT TIME!

you can also type in larkspur at weather.com where its saying 86 for the high (of course probably off) with thunder storms and 30 percent chance of rain.

But either way lets have a fun and safe time.
