Allrighty, we are T-minus 7 months before the new party in Canterbury begins............so with that in mind, what is everyone looking forward to the most at faire in terms of your favorite act? What are your three favorite acts? I actually think I might have a new favorite going into 2012 too...........

Jolly Rogers - duh. Everyone lists these lovable alcoholic pirates. Best stage presence at KCRF, know how to work a crowd, encourage audience participation, and are an exceptional act.

Musical Blades - Hoping they are around all season at KCRF so they can at least net a good stage. Seeing them on Merlins Bern with all that sun sucked, but they were still awesome. Still work a crowd like no other and are so damned funny.

And my new one in 2012..........Who Doth Proclaim This Anyways by The Full Monty- if you havent seen it, GO. Funniest act in Canterbury, they are so funny. Amazing.

Can't wait for a good cool October Sunday to see the Pub Sing, and hoping chess will be back!

I really enjoyed "The Peoples Court with the Lord Mayor" every morning!  Lots of fun, and always different!

Like KCDCCHEF, The Full Monty was lots of fun!

Of course, my favorite continues to be Ogrot.  I would have liked it if they had done more audience participation this last season, but we'll see next year.

Always enjoy the Musical Blades, and always enjoy the Scallywags.

Did not like the Smoker.  I guess I'm more modest than I thought I was. 

Try to catch the Feaste of Fooles once a year.  This year it was a bit different, but I liked it alright!

Some year, I will go to the Halloween Feast.

Yay!  Hello everyone!!

My favorite act is Jason Divad! 

Does the parade count as an act?  I love the parade.  I like to catch it twice by running ahead :)

I also make quite a specticle of the eating - hehe ;D

Well, I talked with my nephew in KC the other day.  His honey is REAL excited about getting dressed up to go to faire. Not sure if she's going to talk the nephew into it before we get up there, though ... I don't expect 2012 to be our year for KCRF, but we're tentatively adding it to our 2013 calendar.  Looks like he lives about 30 minutes from the faire...

keep me posted Merlin, would LOVE to meet you.

Should I come armed?  :P ::)

Merlin, we progress here each year. We always meet up with Butch ( this is actually were we became acquainted). This is great Faire and well worth your journey.

you can come armed to KCRF, they do allow swords and weaponry. but require them to be peace tied at the gate.

wonderful faire. i travel 1,100 miles each October to see it. has kept the authenticity that so many other faires have lost, woodchips, very little electrical,, very accurate faire and i love it.

Tamtaro

You crack me up, Merlin!  ;D
Thanks for the welcome back kcdcchef!!  I'm so excited about the nice spring-like weather we're getting here in Missouri.  It makes me think festival can't be far off.  (190 days till KCRF!)

Gauwyn, we'll definitely coordinate with you when we are able to make the trip. This year in October, we'll be heading east for RenDezvous.  I don't know if we can swing the additional time needed to hit KCRF.  The college requires that I do spend at least some time in the office.  Some of my coworkers will be coming to Scarby in April. I'm hoping to turn them on to faire.

Tamtaro, I'm glad I crack you up. Most people just think I'm cracked. I'm not sure that a person of your tender years knows that expression, but in my younger days, being cracked is the same as being nuts... Regardless, I am dying to see that infectious smile of yours in person. It cheers me up every time I see it!

KCDC...Aren't you a band, or am I thinking of someone else....  ::)  Be careful what you wish for, KC...you might get it.

As we say in the more agricultural areas...."Farm Out!"

Hey, I remember that. We, too, used to say farm out ( instead of far out ), then at the college I went to they had a program called Farm Operation or Farm Op, so we began to say "farm op".
