I always catch Zilch the Torysteller at least once a weekend.  I mean, sure I've heard all the stories, but he's very enjoyable to sit and listen to, plus it's a lot of fun to see who gets the jokes.  He recognizes me now, it's so sad  :)

I hear it's quite entertaining to sit in the front row with a pickle, or perhaps sausage on a stick....   ::)

As some may know, Cast in Bronze obtained a second carillon and Frank has split his show schedule. The new performer, I believe his name is John, played this last season at TRF. I have not heard which one will be at Scarby this year and, while he does not play as well as Frank, John still does an excellent performance and includes some of his own works.
We saw Cast In Bronze @ TRF this year, and I couldn't really tell the difference if it was somebody other than Frank.  However, I do hope we get Frank at Scarby this year.  He's really nice to talk to, plus he personalized some CDs that we gave as gifts last year.

Christoph the Insulter is awesome and Iris and Rose are as lovely as ever. We've been watching Don Juan and Miguel for 20 years now and still enjoy their show. It is a great time, I just wish they would allow dogs so we could get a booth there, but you can't win them all.

I say the Chess Match, mainly cause I'm in it..

Dr. Kaboom is brilliant, Don Juan and Miguel, Hey Nunnie Nunnie and on that same stage.. Queen Anne's Lace, Iris and Rose and if you want to brush up on your insults.. Christophe is great!

There is always the Joust and the new pub near there to check out.
White Horse Tavern is beautiful in the evening. If Marilee is there again this year, she'll be down the small bridge from the tavern, also the same place Sholo has his show.

There is the Bird show and at the Scottish Cottage, and weapons demo for the kids. The Queen has her badmitton (like tennis?) over there sometimes, that's fun to watch. Rat Pucking twice a day, if you hear someone holler 'CHEESE'; duck.

The Stores to go see? I would say begin wandering and whatever catches your fancy. Have just about a bit of everything.

There is the Maypole, The court dance,the Knighting Ceremony all take place over in Pecan Grove. And then, there's Pub Sing at the Sea Hag Stage. There is also a Pub Sing at the pub near the Mythical Moster Mueseum.

I know that there is some tailgaiting in the parking lot, not sure if they allow grills, I would call and ask about that.
Most the times, it is people hanging out in groups waiting for traffic to die down a bit.

I know I missed some things but, bound too, lots of activities going on all over the place. Hope to see you out there!

I concur with the suggestions by Lilaney.
There is a LOT of tailgating before cannon in the Scarby parking lot. I have even seen grills. But unless you leave someone behind to put it away when it cools off, it's likely to grow an extra set of legs and walk off.

Opening weekend averages in the mid 50's to mid 60's. You might need a cloak before 9:00am, but once inside you'll be warmer.

Unless of course we have the S-word.

But rain usually doesn't last long and a misty morning at 8:00am can be hot and sunny by 10:00am.

Talked with some mutual close friends recently, and as far as we all know, Frank will be the CIB performer at Scarby. He misses all his Texas friends as much as we miss him! For being so new to the whole faire experience and to performing Frank's music, Jon became comfortable in the role very quickly, and we all found him to be very sweet and personable.

And of course, Don Juan and Miguel are worth the price of admission all by themselves!

Quote from: Doublet on January 13, 2009, 08:03:31 PMthey had a different guy playing Henry VIII, but Shannon was still playing Anne, anyone know who he was and when Richard (current & BEST Henry VII started)
His name is Mike Rapp, lasted 1 1/2 years as King: 1993 1994.
I came in as a mid-season replacement in 1994.
Gosh, Doublet, thanks for the praise (but I play King Henry the Eighth) ;)
