Does anyone ever meet their faire friends, other vendors or performers in the cities near the Renfaires you frequent? We're in the summer doldrums here in Oklahoma. I know a lot of the local vendors and some performers. I'm thinking about seeing if they want to meet at a restaurant somewhere so everyone can talk about what their upcoming products or acts will entail. I can pitch in by telling them what new faires are starting or what date changes will be happening over the next year.
I also just want to hear stories and see their shining faces. Doing that via telephone or via the intrawebs just isn't the same. Anyone else in the same boat?
What a nice idea ;) Generally, the folks I go with are my kids, so I see them, anyway ;) I would think vendors and performers might be on to the next place, but I'd be surprised if you don't meet up with other friends. Good luck!
