That would be my fellow wizard Alerrick Afon Adou.

I still haven't caught up to you, Captain!  If we hadn't been facing a 5+ hour drive home Sunday afternoon, we would have been there for the puddles. But, we'll be back this weekend...  Tell me where you hide, Marga!

By the way... someone forgot the parade Sunday... The first time in a while that I was camera ready, too! Shucks!  :D

As Jofranka the Gypsy, I'm quite recognizable - the only one wearing a Russian Crown.  In blue/green most of the time, this year with a striped coat of blue/gray over green skirt (most of the time).  On rare days I may be in yellow chemise over black/rust skirt.  Yellow hand flags in parade.

I'm in Country dance outside the gates at 1030 am, in Parade at 1, Gypsy Extravaganza at 330 on Turtle Drome, Country dance at 4, then pub sing for the rest of the day.

I DID see you, Merlin, in 'danes, but knew it was you.  You just didn't recognize me.

Yep....walked by us with that "dazed" look on your face. I waved, but had a face full of chicken at the time and couldn't say anything. Hehe. The Lady was dressed as a fairy on Saturday, so you would not have recognized us anyway. Sounds like we missed a number of folks. Just chilling ourselves and not paying much attention to anything in particular as we only had a few hours of sleep Friday night. Loverly weather and an awesome drive from Houston with all the wild flowers in bloom.

You probably saw me when we were looking for my lost sister. I thought I saw a familiar looking couple but I really needed to find her since she is diabetic.

Let's see, who all did I see this weekend?
Saturday I saw Dona Catalina & the Don both in the parking lot, and at the shoppe, as well as on the way back to the parking lot, at which time I begged for assistance loosening my corset as I waited for my ride to make her way to the gate. On the way out Saturday I saw Merlin the Elder & Nimue, and umm, I've totally lost who was sitting with you, Archer perhaps? 

I managed to steal a moment with Her Majesty Queen Margaret Saturday as well

Sunday I saw Marga before she left the hotel,  Elo, and umm, I'm sure someone else, but I've no clue at the moment, as I was sleep deprived by then.

BryanPopp was down the hall at the Super8, as usual, and dinner Friday night was well, amusing.

I saw a few folks, but no one really from the boards except who I was with, and Meggers. Then again we did so much walking and kilting of a newbie that we could of quite easily missed so many, lol! I'm trying to make the cards work for one more weekend, we shall see what kind of deals I can get on tickets :D

Seeing as i'm new here. I think the only person I recognized was merlin the elder riding by on the carriage at one point.

To meet the "gang," you need to try to make tailgate, and wander up row 12. Saturdays are probably best, and you should find Don Juan de Cordoba and Dona Catalina, the Lady Kett and Sidekick at the very least.  Watch for people with the R/F pin. They can be your friends.  :)

I saw some people but never catch everyone.  ;) Mom had an amazing time, thanks to everyone that was super nice to her!
Still Meggers, just a little more grown up now. :)
