I so wish I could make it this weekend, but I won't be there... I am building houses for Haitian victims with church friends and singing at church Sunday....  so good causes I think!  I will miss the joust, the hooka bar, all the belly dancing, waking up to the fresh air and going to bed with the sound of drums, the great music acts, the candy shop, the Love Potion at the apothecary, and the wonderful pasta!!

This weekend was truly awesome.  The campgrounds were indeed packed and the attendance inside was great as well.  The family had a great time.  Our daughter had to do the faerie tea party both days.

I had heard that the pub had run out of beer on Saturday. I thought to myself "Self, tis unbelievable that the crowds drank up all of the Blehweiser."  Oh was I wrong and saddened to find that it had actually been all of the good beer that had been drained.

Oh well, tis only the sign of an excellent weekend at faire.

Now lets prepare for Easter!

As predicted, this weekend rocked in no uncertain terms!  Queen Bonnie, your weather spells are the bomb!  Attendance was even better this weekend than on opening weekend, and that makes me very, very happy.   ;D  (<---Me, happy.)

Management made a wise decision in bringing out Renaissance Festival Magazine for this past weekend; they could have hardly have picked a better one for it.  Can't wait to see the issue when it comes out; the lady we talked to said something about November or December.   ;D  (<---Me, happy again.)

Here's the March 19-21 weekend forecast for Paige from forecast.weather.gov (http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=30.212794977500614&lon=-97.0806884765625&site=ewx&smap=1&marine=0&unit=0&lg=en):

Friday Night: A 30 percent chance of showers after 1am. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 52. South southeast wind between 10 and 15 mph.

Saturday: Showers and thunderstorms likely, mainly before 1pm. Cloudy, with a high near 58. Windy, with a calm wind becoming northwest between 25 and 30 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%.

Saturday Night: Mostly cloudy, with a low around 36. Windy, with a northwest wind 25 to 30 mph decreasing to between 15 and 20 mph.

Take Care,

Tricky mother nature just has to send one last blast of winter for the spring equinox. Texas weather is so hard to plan around.
