Opening Day

[Jonas_MacPherson]

So, who wants to share? Anything exciting happen?

For me, absolutely nothing truely exciting happened. A new pair of boots, a major boost in moral, and strongly excited about returning tomorrow to see what adventures await.

Best moment of the day...hearing the imperial march on bag pipes as the king passed through.

[squiregaby]

Yes yes! Tell me what I missed! I want to know everything!! ....especially if it involved the joust!!  Like who won today?  My prediction tells me that Sir William won and everyone else died....

I had a good day until it started raining, not too busy in the shop but not too slow.
Thanks to everyone who said hi today :]  Please come by and visit.

My feet sure hurt though!

Great temps for a festival day though!!  couldn't beat it.  Was busy in my shop non stop until 2pm...  so Huzzah!!  See you again tomorrow... I'm beat!  and filthy!

Yea, the brunt of the storm somehow bypassed the ren fair completely. *hit the hail segment of it right around mounment hill*

It was a very fun opening day. The temps were in the 60's to mid 70's Hated the wind and all the dust. Surprising it was fairly dray on site considerig all the rain Colorado has had... well northern Colorado maybe not Larkspurshire

Got a new black tall hat and a green scarf to go around it (matches my new dress better than the brown one I had also with a green scarf around it. Got a new waterproof parasol in black and gold so it will match all my dresses. LOST my green feather fan as the stupid cheapo Hobby Lobby chain broke.

Saw many friends and missed many others.

Had two pieces of excitement. The first walking through Pirates pub and as I past someone was lifting up my skirt. I spun around and it was a woman and she said "I just wanted to know what you had under that skirt" So I proceded to lift up my over skirt, then my under skirt and then my farthingale to show her my bloomers. I got a "NICE Legs for that" As I was doing that a guy behind me with four beers in hand face planted himself and dropped two of his 4 beers. Lucky me I only got a drop on my bare legs. I guess my legs distracted him

The 2nd I had this very pretty little female red head pirate in all blue start hitting on me. She claimed she knew me from 6 years ago and told me I was "EVIL" which I had to agree since I was a noble. She kept hitting on me as Toki stood there as this cute pirate girl insisted on a photo with me. Then all of a sudden she just took off. HUMMM What was up with that?

So over all a fun day. See many of you next Saturday.

Mostly a Sunny wind swooshed day in the picnic area where two Bumbershoots took flight with one being broken.

Found many RF'ers from  here, there. lets see in order........ Tanda looking like a movie Star, Mistress Charlotte busy as always, then Capt Riley, and Zoe looking a lovely Elizabeth, Fighting Irish whom did not have the Hefewiesen I was desiring at her Bar, the family of Matrim, and Sirooo at front gate, with Tessa too.   Then caught Blushing as her shift ended at one vendor and walking her back to the ohter vendor (two jobs at faire) Crossing to Mistress Charlottes where we in time where joined by Gentlemanprivateer, Awen, and Tanda where soon the wind picked up a bumbershoot from a nearby flower garland stand and sent it about 25 feet end over end into the blustery skys above and then finally crashing down at the entrance of another vendor, just missing a small child, and Mother pushing a baby carraige. Soon Aaern and Platt joined us.
Visited Alices shop but she was gone then......
Later I caught up with Demetrius, Nixie,  - Hey, Aren't you, CaptJack, Jess Devine and Rogue Lawrence, Kathleen MacFerno, and Sir Garath, and our very own Professor L, and Lastly the Merry Madrigals, all including the newest member all looking lovely as ever, even wearing the old original dresses.

Apologetic regrets if I have missed mention of any I had seen........

The ladies looked beautiful, the men manly and roguish, and the day drizzed a few times that sent the masses for the exits only to calm just moments later. And a rainbow as occurs frequently in Larkspurshire somehow indicating that all will be just fine.

See you on the good Faire morrow!

[Tanda]

I had so much FUN!
I only went to one joust, decided I did not need to sit through them again - so I did other things.
When I asked the knights who won the final, William claimed victory, which I believe as good ALWAYS wins. *sigh*
I watched Charming and Dashing twice. If you haven't seen Charming's new outfit, you need to. I nearly fell over laughing.
I watched the German rappers. Ummm....yeah.
I LOVE Rook's new character.
My most exciting moments were every moment of recognition after a moment of confusion. Yay! And wearing my "I'm not working" glasses. Also, waving at everyone in the parade without being it in.

I'm sore, I'm sunburnt, I was filthy, and I'm so Happy about it. Yay Faire!

Sorry for not being there when you came to visit!  I'm always there in the morning from opening until noon.

Sir William will ALWAYS claim victory he likes to win.....If you happen to go out tomorrow! Tell him Squire Gaby says Hi Dad!!

[Moldy Forest]

I'm so sad because I wasn't able to go cause I don't get paid till next week and I had to work yesterday...What made my day though is that while I was at Toys r us a couple came in about 6ish wearing garb and it took me a second to realize it haha. I went up and asked them if they just came back from faire and they were like "Yes".  So I got some festival brought to me at work. Awesome. I should be able to make it out next Sunday- Huzzah!

[Professor M]

...Got a new waterproof parasol in black and gold so it will match all my dresses...

OOO!  I love the color scheme.  Wear it to Pittsburgh!

I'd love to come to Pittsburg, but most likey not this year unless that is... someone wants to pay my way out there hint hint

Great seeing everyone this weekend!  I think it was "former madrigal" day and no one told me.  Michelle, Annika, AND Lauren who was a madrigal in 2005.  What a day!  Oh, we're called "Foxglove" now, not Merrye Madrygal Mavyns (thank god, that name was never any good). 

I'd forgotten what true faire exhaustion felt like but don't worry, I remember now.  *Ouch*


Tanda-you didn't like the German Brothers?  I nearly broke a rib laughing in my corset, it hurt so good.  I don't know if I've ever laughed that hard.  We're in the middle of creating a bunch of bits for them to do with us so stay tuned! 

Did anyone see LadyRemi's faerie costume on Sunday?  INCREDIBLE!

[Mischief Snicklebritches]

Thanks Barbie! I was sooooooo glad everyone loved it so much. I think they even turned out better than Spinaka and I had originally planned. which makes me ecsatcic. lol

Saturday was good, it was good seeing everyone again after so long. It was kinda boring on some accounts....and a bit strange being back and not actually having any responsibility. I felt very awkward for a few hours. That plus trying my darndest to affect a Russian accent, all at the same time.....phew!...Saturday was very straining. lol

Sunday was a blast! like I said it was better than I could have imagined it to be. All the kids, and pictures and stuff that come along with being a fairie absolutely like...made more than my day. It like made my life. lol. We were told by Queen Titania that we would be inducted into the fairie court. Which, if you dont know is a GIGANTIC honor. We had offers from the Fairy Godmother of wishes to do some NP stuff at Childrens Hospital with a group she is involved with...and yeah! that was just amazing. I would love to do that. And most of all, Betty didnt freak. She actually liked our costumes a lot. So that couldn't have been better for us.

I also had a man named Dan come up to me on Sunday and give me a canvas photo (it looked like a painting, but was done digitally then printed on canvas and stretched over a frame) of me as Kitty last year. It was A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!!!!! If I hadn't been in such a fragile costume I would have bear hugged him! So its hanging above my desk at home now.
