Mine came yesterday too!  I agree with SirRichardBear - very good pictures of many familiar faces.  I do wish they would've included a few shots of the village itself.  You don't get a real feel for the faire.  Also, not one picture of the Scots and nary a Green Sash in sight!

I thought the same thing Var Greyshadow they give a nice intro about the site but then didn't show any pictures of the village.

Was anyone else surprised by the article about which side a lady should be on?

I am with you,  the article on walking with your lady is completely the opposite of what we practice at SRF.  The lady should be on your right.  Men were trained to be right-handed in swordsmanship.  Even if you were left-handed, you still learned to fight with your right (and then either/or, and both, as in Florentine).  Putting the sword between you and the lady is awkward, and pushing her forward and across you puts her - well, right in the way of the brigand!!! 

I foresee a letter writing campaign to the editors...

He writes about using his lady as an off hand weapon i.e. throwing her at the brigand Not sure my lady would approve of that style of fighting.  Each to there own I'm sure they will get letters about the lady on the left being no lady.

Great spread, but as everyone is saying we would love to have seen more of the village and more of the players! Just can't get enough of Scarborough Faire! VIII looks great on the cover, I believe he may get hit up by others....GQ, People, Time, Playgirl! Looks great though, seriously and here's to the best Faire in the world!! (according to a study done by gnomes and fairies in 2006, and every Scarby aficionado who ever lived and breathed).

I had several Cast members inform me that someone was looking for me to autograph their copy.  When they caught up with me, they had a silver Sharpie for me to use (I gotta get me one of them) and I had my first 'cover-boy' autograph of the season!

No Fair! my B&N has not received the magazine yet.
Where else in DFW might the Magazine be already on the shelves?

Have you tried Borders?  You might call and see if they have the issue in.
