Less humid and more wind would be nice.

I just hope we don't go from boiling to freezing in 1 weekend like last year.  That was not fun.

saphire_glade

Can we just have the less humid and a bit lower temp? The bubbles hate wind and I hate dust on everything!
Bubbles are pure magic... if you don't believe me watch any man, woman, or child chase a bubble down the road.

www.weather.com says for Saturday, SUNNY and 86. Still wearing my Cavalier wench garb. Might as well be comfy.

Sunday calls for 85 with a 30% chance of isolated thunderstorms.

I'll decide on Saturday morning.  At least then, they'll have a better chance of actually getting it right.   LOL
Nothing clever to say here.  Not enough caffine yet.

Looks like another bare-bones garb weekend for me.

I tried the leather for part of the day on Saturday, then ditched it and just went with the tights and shirt.  Sooo much better. 

Trying to convince Robin that I need to be his stunt double for at least one of the stage shows so I can fall into the pond to cool off.

Ugh, another hot weekend.. ick! I can deal with it, but a bit less humidity and a bit more wind would be nice. Although it is hard to play flute in the wind. :)

Still, I'd rather have the heat than the cold. Or rain.
Masquerading as a normal person day after day is exhausting.

At least Yahoo weather is indicating that it will be windy for the weekend! 

auntiegiggles

A nice breeze would be nice but I hate how the dust mixes with sweat and sunscreen to stain my garb  :P
My snood soaked for 24hrs before I could get the stains out!  UGH!  There's nothing a cream snood turning to lovely shade of dusty red.   :P

We need days like today at Fest! Highs around 70 degrees! Perfect weather for Fest!

If highs are in the mid 80's again this weekend, that means we will probably be off the grounds by mid afternoon again. If Highs are going to be in the 90's then we will probably sit this weekend out and just stay home. Hot weather and Fest just don't work for us.

LadyFae

weather.com is saying high of 87 both days- windy Sat and sunny Sun- or at least that is what it said around 2 this afternoon...

The National Weather Service ( I think in Chanhassan) says  88 and humid for Sat., 89, humid and breezy for Sun. Not liking that at all. I also wish it would be like it was today, 70s, sunny and low dewpoint.

Hoping to be there this weekend and then the weekend of september 25th for sure! Probably a time or two between that.
I wish this weekend was going to be like today as well. :-\

auntiegiggles

Mairte - if you make it this weekend make sure you say hi. I am the street character with the red hat and a cat and bird on her shoulders - sometimes I hold the cat it varies. I will be up front the first hour or so of opening.   ;D  otherwise flag me down if you see me wandering by.  Can't wait to meet you!   :D

And there is always the 10am breakfast beer meetup at Foaming.  We do try and get together then as well.

Mairte

auntiegiggles, I will do that!!! I am somewhat shy but very interested in participating in renn fest so will gather up my courage.:) Provided nothing changes and I make it up there this weekend, only one other person will be with me, but on the 25th so far we have eight people going. :)

auntiegiggles

sweet!  I am there everyday!  The 26th is a half day for me - will still be at faire but celebrating taking 3rd place in a vow renewal contest with my husband  ;D

Weather.com says 88, windy, and 55% humidity.  that's VERY doable!

Saturday: High of 86 Sunny and Windy, Low of 63

Sunday: High of 88 Partly Cloudy and Windy, Low of 70

Hopefully the wind will help some with the heat!!!

Well I'm still debating on outfits... trying to gauge the weather for optimal comfort.

Do I wear the charteuse gown and epic hat and just skip the sleeves for coolness or show off the new pirate? ???

Having a similar dilemma.  Comfort/Cool Blue or Fun Green??  
One thought MG, Wind + Epic Hat might =  :(

Marietta Graziella

You just want to see me in tights... ;) :o

But you are correct, wind blasted epic hat would be sad.

Oh, also dear friends, Trish (from the pub nights) will be out with me on Saturday.  Since I'm actually working that day, would love if someone invited her to wander about.  She's picking up her ticket at will-call and coming in at cannon.  She hasn't been to MN ren faire since she was 15.  I'll probably have to meet her up front to show her where the booth is.
