SWFF Official Countdown

[Laird Fraser of Lovatt]

Well I really hope I get to be there with you. At this point it looks like we'll be working through the weekend.

But
It is 4 days, 2 hours, 35 minutes, 18 seconds

until Saturday, February 29, 2020 at 10:00:00 am (Austin time)

Damn it, man!  I have seen you in five years.

Same way with Papa Smurf...err...I mean Breandan( )...I have clasped forearms with my brother in three years.

[KiltedPrivateer]

Yeah I'm not thrilled either. We missed the entire last season due to life. This will be the second opening weekend that I've missed. But, here's to hoping we make great strides this week and they decide to not to work on Saturday.

It is 3 days, 2 hours, 34 minutes, 59 seconds

until Saturday, February 29, 2020 at 10:00:00 am (Austin time)

[Laird Fraser of Lovatt]

Almost time to storm the gates..

[KiltedPrivateer]

Let's see

It is 1 day, 2 hours, 13 minutes, 50 seconds

until Saturday, February 29, 2020 at 10:00:00 am (Austin time)

And our customer has confirmed that we will continue to slave away through the weekend. So no opening weekend adventure for me. Hopefully my family will be make it second weekend.

Fraser, I sure hope you have a awesome weekend in the forest. SWFF truly is a great faire. It has a completely different atmosphere than TRF.

Don't forget that it is also Teach's "actual" birthday. He's a leap year baby. So if you see him, wish him all the best. I was hoping to make the pub crawl with him, but I guess I'll just have to enjoy some rum with him next weekend.

Have fun storming the castle!
I am so jealous....

[KiltedPrivateer]

0 Days and roughly 2 hours before the gates open. Sure hope y'all have an awesome day. And remember us poor unfortunates still chained down by the corporation. Raise a mug to us.

[KeeperoftheBar]

Wow!  What a weekend.  The weather was almost ideal.  StudMuffin and I had a great time.  Finally met Merlin the Elder in person.  Saw RennStar, Jess & Fraser and too many others to mention. 
It was a very fine opening, indeed.
Sorry you missed it KP.
HAZZAH to Queen Bonnie!

[Laird Fraser of Lovatt]

HAD A FREAKING BLAST!!
I loved the fact that we outnumbered them...more garbed people than Danes.  The rustic feel...clean but not completely tame...dappled sunshine coming through the trees...the seemingly random pathways...

Seeing lots of faces that I knew...almost like the old days at TRF...walk fifty to a hundred steps and run into someone you know.  The Jerusalem Pub had the feel of the Sea Devil, 15 years ago, before the stages and decks....and the Bloody Bee Stings.

Teach, Trinn, Renstar, Keeper, Breandan, Lindsey...and even if it was only for a brief minute, MERLIN!! Been talking to the man for years but this was the first time we had the chance to lock arms and exchange some banter, face to face.  It was an honor, Sir to finally meet you and your wonderful wife.

Lady Jess and I are already plotting for next year...making a whole weekend of it.

*And lets not forget Queen Bonnie!  She remember the Scarby Rendezvous and the Rusty Nails that messed me up so bad.*

[KiltedPrivateer]

I'm so glad y'all had a great weekend. Couldn't have asked for better weather. Now you see what we've been raving about. I just hope the "Faire for Rennies" last a good long time. I hope you do get to come out again next year Fraser. Or maybe, once more before this season ends.

I'm hoping this test will end soon so that I can finally unwind in the forest.

Hell, I'll come back just for the Bloody Bee Stings and the people watching from the Jerusalem! 

[KiltedPrivateer]

I have no idea about the Bloody Bee Stings. I'll have to look into this when I get some time off. But yes, the Jerusalem is awesome. Good entertainment, and great place to just sit. Though, the faire is filled with great places to sit and watch the people go by.

The weather was great, the company was better!!  It was great seeing the usual suspects that hang out at Sherwood and some faces that I don't usually see there.  It was good chatting you with you as usual Keeper.  Finally saw Fraser in the Forest with Jess, caught up with Merlin and his Bride, and saw Tommy Wilson.  And the PR folks that I always enjoy seeing:  Teach & Trinn, Brandon, Rob Morton, Andrew Minchew, Remy & Jessica, Mongo & Roadkill, Jeremy & Sarit, & Moondog and his bride!!  It was a great day!!

Now that you filled out the rest of my list of people seen...

[Merlin the Elder]

Laird Fraser, you weren't nearly as scary-looking as RenStarr said you were...  The Bride and I certainly enjoyed seeing you finally. I'd tell you to stay out of trouble, but I'm not delusional. Perhaps we'll see you again next year.

Finally also met Keeper after all these years. Damn, Fraser! What did you and Teach do to him?!?
