Faire in the news

[ladybootlegger]

Over the weeked a number of people kept talking about this news article pertaining to our festival. Does anyone know where I can find this article. I have to admit my interest was peaked.

CBS Channel 4's Greg Moody did a piece on the Festival:

Channel 4 is a sponsor for the festival.

From my understanding, this article was not that kind...

[Capt Spleen]

Seems very generous, from what I saw.

[Blushing]

I heard the same, but I haven't found anything.  It's possible it was published, just not placed online.  I'll keep looking, and I'd ask your sources where they saw it!

[Capt Spleen]

Seems an article from the past  (2-3 years ago) about Dreads, rennies, and hygene has made the news again........

Old news, New antagonist.

You gotta love the internet....... news makes the rounds, like joke emails, from time to time.

[CapnJack]

That's annoying.  Especially since they used my picture for that travesty of an article.  But positive news is always a good thing!

I've never seen this article (the old one) and can't find it.

[ladybootlegger]

CapnJack and BalletBoot, you both speak of this article as though you have read/found it. I have inquired with the numerous sources I heard it from on Saturday, but have yet to find the article. Would you be kind enough to enlighten the rest of us?

[balletboot]

I said I've never seen the old article (or apparently the new one), so I'm curious as well. I've never even heard of it.

[ladybootlegger]

The old one was in the Rocky Mountain News 3 or so years ago. I (personally) thought it was more slanderous to the traveling rennies than anything else. But from what I've heard of this recent article it was far more hurtful to the festival in general... naming names and the whole bit.

Here's the article you were looking for, I found it last night when I was wandering about the 'net looking for photos of myself and friends: http://www.csindy.com/colorado/medieval-duel/Content?oid=1143515

I would avoid the comments. Most of the writers appear to be jerks.

[Radu the Gypsy]

So many things that could be said, but I suspect the same thoughts are echoing in everyone heads.  As an ex-journalist, this piece makes me shudder. 

Oh, but Hey, Michael, nice photo! 

[Adriana Rose]

Look at the date folks it was written in 2008

[LadyAriella]

Yes, and it's making its rounds again. Most of the comments are from the last few days.
