The Officially Unoffical Photo Thread for 2011

[Celtic Rune Stones]

Normally I wouldn't post photos from another faire in our forum; but, in this case I wanted to share them with the CoRF members.

I had the pleasure of attending the Bristol Renaissance Faire this past weekend.

The people were friendly, the outfits elegant and the artisans very talented...

The thing to note when viewing the pictures is that it was 96 degrees / 90% humidity.

  It's a nice group picture, and you can tell that some of the cast are wilting, I was getting heat stroke just looking at this  .  What troupers!

[Blushing]

Lovely photos from Bristol!  I have to say, with that temperature and humidity, it's even more amazing that the cast does such a stellar job!

Photos from the sixth weekend are up, although thanks to the weather (or rather, my reaction to it), I didn't take very many:

Great photos of both Colorado and Bristol.

It was so hot and humid over the weekend, there was no way I would have worn garb. This was in Minnesota of all places.

My hat goes off to those who can do faires in humid weather, because I am just not cut out for them. I've only playtroned at a humid-weather faire once (Maryland) and it nearly did me in. The heat here is pretty brutal, but it's a dry heat and that makes a ton of difference. My folks were contemplating coming this weekend but are now rethinking their plans because of the forecasted heat. I don't blame them - I wouldn't be at ren faire this weekend either if I didn't have to!

Toki and I are deciding NOT to go this weekend. We plan on going into the mountains, finding sme snow or a cold stream and sticking our feet into it. We WILL how ever be back for closing weekend on Saturday baring any major things stopping us.

Have fun this weekend, stay cool and very well hydrated and don't drink to much stuff that is bad in high heat (alcohol)

You blaspheme, Lass!!  Surely you didn't mean it!   And if you did, shame on you!

Alas, much of the magic of faire is lost when you have to spend it dealing with an endless supply of--to put it lightly--morons. Perhaps I should have amended my statement to say, I would be there if I didn't have to WORK....

Hey i'm a moron and i resemble that comment.

Wasn't it Bugs that said "What a maroon"?

[Zoë]

Hey i'm a moron and i resemble that comment. 

If all morons were like you, I wouldn't mind serving them all day. At least morons like you tip.

[Francisco Paula]

Well Zoe i once worked for a steak house as head cook so even though i didn't work for tips i did get compensated by the waitress so making sure the order was correct meant they got tipped better which meant they gave me a bigger compensation. So i tend to tip good for service given

Zoë, you need a shirt (or large button) with "Tipping, it's not just for cows" - would be sure to get a laugh, and possibly more tips...

It is my opinion that everyone needs to spend time working in the hospitality industry for a while...waiter/waitress/waitron, cook, etc. That's when you learn what it's all about, and when you learn the proper way to show your gratitude... Trust me when I say that good tipping gets rewarded.

Phone support... You deal with the weed kickers who THINK they now it all yet are calling you for help. They refuse to listen until you say... Listen I am trying to help you. if you would stp and listen to what I have to say, I am sure I can resolved your issue and 99% of the time... I can. The other 1% I cannot? They called the wrong place
