How many of us will be at faire this Friday?

Jon.

[Thumper]

I wish I could go.  But I just can not afford to take any time off of work right now. 

[gypsyqueenie]

We are planning to be there late!

We are open including the pubs 10.95 admission and we close at 7pm -no kids necessary  - correct???

Many people asking and I want absolute confirmation.

Hubby will be finally cashing in on his 40th birthday pressie, thus we will be up North golfing all weekend.

[Queen Genevieve]

I'll be there all weekend......hopefully I get the dress I'm working on finished by then.

[Poldugarian Warrior]

Thinkin about it. Would be a god day to get in all the music acts, without havign to fight with the crowds whom aren't really into the music and just milling about inside the pubs or around the performance areas. And you can't beat the price.

[Eric of Lyon]

Will be there.  A good day for the acts and browsing the shops, based upon my experience last year.

[Jon Foster]

It was pretty late in the day when I got there last year. Most people were gone except for a few of the "regulars". 

Jon.

[LadyAnn]

If I can get my project finished I might be able to come out for a little while.

[Rosalyn]

I'll be there! But stuck in a booth... Renaissance Fashions, by the Bakery.

I had heard that fest closes up early that day... 3ish?  Can anyone confirm this?

[calicogirl]

me for sure!! you'll know me by my corset and my pirate hat with EOS Cannon Rebel and a macro lens!

[Lord Virgil]

I took the day off last year to make it, but couldn't get the day off this year so no Friday for me..

[battlemonk]

In the past that was true, but this year the plan is for it to be a regular festival day, full-length.

It usually does empty out pretty well by 3-4 PM though.

[Jon Foster]

We're getting ready to head out in the morning. Hopefully we'll see a bunch of you at Things From Rings at around 11:00 AM!

Jon.

[Xanthenes The Unbalanced]

Sticking with this Sunday.  Something about the prospect of a million screaming kids makes me want to hide under my couch.

[Jon Foster]

Come on, it's only like 750,000 kids.  So, we'll see you in a few minutes then. Right? 

Jon.

[Lord Virgil]

Actually, if you like kids and smaller crowds Friday is a nice relaxing day to go.  The wife and I had a lot of fun messing with the wee ones.  

Outside the gate before open, a grandmother was trying to get a picture of her granddaughter who was not being cooperative.  I had my pirate gear on, so I stroll up, draw my pistol and tell the little girl "
One way or another you're gonna get shot, either by that camera or this pistol, it's your choice."  She sat right down, smiled and the picture was taken.  The grandma was cracking up and thanked me, it was great fun.  I'm bummed I can't be there today,

My child allergy is flaring up just thinking about it.

//Achoo!!!

[sandmanvw]

Thank you battlemonk for the finish fish dance today at faire very good indeed.

[Eric of Lyon]

Very empty on Friday.

These three photos were taken between 12 noon and 2 pm. Nearly a ghost town in some areas of the festival.

[Jon Foster]

Yep, that was pretty much all the views we had all day. But it was nice to window shop without fighting the crowds.

It was nice to meet you Eric.

Jon.

[Xanthenes The Unbalanced]

Sweet.  Always wondered what the grounds will look like after the zombie holocaust.

[Eric of Lyon]

Very nice to meet you too, Jon.  And it nice to meet Canonman, as well.  It was very nice to meet two other of the RF'ers on Friday and chat for a moment.

[Jon Foster]

We ran into Canonman once on Friday. It was in the morning and I was wondering where he was the rest of the day.

Jon.

[Eric of Lyon]

I don't recall what time it was when I ran into him, but it was back by the Washing Well Wenches.   You were also back there shooting in the back of the crowd.  We were by the back "Special Events" gate nearest that stage.

[Jon Foster]

Darn it. I must be blind! I only caught a glimpse of you once or twice on Friday too.

Jon.

[Poldugarian Warrior]

Didn't make it was still fighting that earache from hell all that week. May get up there this weekend.
