Title: What's Everyone Doing at Fest This Year?
Post by: Charlotte Rowan on July 07, 2010, 02:58:50 PM
Are we all doing the same jobs (or not doing jobs) as last year?

I'm actually undecided. I haven't committed to the Jaycees yet and I might go to a meeting about working for Dueling Buckets. Or... I might decide to take the season off.  :-\ :o

What are y'all doing?

Working at the same booth as last year, Willing Soles.  Hopefully getting to do a "guest spot" at the bakery stage one day.  Oh yes, and having lots of fun.   ;D

Night Crew again...5th season of SS and 9th season overall...

10 years next year...scary.

So long story short...I'll be sleeping. If you see me awake past noon kick my butt to bed.

Same as MG, working at Willing Soles.  You all have feet, or know someone who does, so you need to come buy shoes!

Hopefully the same as last year only without the knee injury. Though I am still waiting on my contract, so it is slightly up in the air.

On the Saturday of Labor Day weekend, I'll be visiting MNRF from Texas, for the first time since 1996.

Since I'm only bringing one carry-on suitcase for a week-long visit with my parents, I probably won't be packing a costume and accessories.  (I'm not sure my costume & accessories would even fit in a single carry-on suitcase!   ;)   :D )


Take Care,
David Baldock

If I pass the auditions with Dueling Grounds, I'll be doing up to three street fights this year, two unarmed and one rapier vs. dagger. I'll have a different costume this year because the old one is too big.  :D

I was asked to come up with a character based on a merchant's wife.  I'm hoping a rich merchant's wife is alright with them - since I have the garb already for it.  Character name is Helen Greeves.  Family business is Jewelry.  I love my baubles!

Be careful not to step on toes with the jewelry merchant bit. We have one already. Don't worry about bringing water, we have supplies for the cast, but you will need something to drink out of. Good luck with Academy!

It might be fun to have a bit of rivalry between the two of you. :)
Don't ever stop doing a funny bit just because someone else is doing something similar. All I'm saying is be careful not to step on their bit.

I believe that Giggles is going for being a merchants WIFE, not the actual merchant, so that may be better, right?  Perhaps a rivalry between her merchant hubby (rarely seen) and the usual merchant with Giggles caught in the middle?  She is a crazy lady anyway- er, I mean her character is (also.)  =)  I know that her bit (as planned so far) does not focus on the jewelry merchant part- that is just a great excuse to wear all her bling!  Well, we'll see after academy how the whole thing goes for her, I guess!

Yeah... they didn't provide any water during my acdemy days which is where the water comes in. Otherwise they should have water during run... they do come close to running out, but that happens mostly on the 3 day weekend.

This year, I will be continuing my duties as drummer for Cigany in the Feast, as well as the occassional drumming on street (morning drum jam . . etc).  However, on street I will be playing Will Scarlet for the Robin Hood Show.  I will not be a part of the stage show this year, but rather an understudy for the stage show.  Hawking for the show and such.  I am also a member of the Dueling Grounds and will be part of two fights for sure, and possibly a 3rd if it is approved.

I think I'm gonna join the Terpsichory musicians. I'm going to a rehearsal next week to make sure it's for me, but I've been wanting to get involved musically at Fest, and I'm pretty excited about this opportunity. :)

Selling beer was fun, and especially working at Mac's with all the pirates and great music, but since I don't actually *like* beer, it was a little odd at times. I'm still trying to find my niche at Fest, and beer wenching just wasn't it. *shrug*

Pirates are known for rebelling against the system.  I think it would be especially pirate-esque if you and the lady dressed in civies that weekend, to rebel against authority's allowance of your rebellion.

I think I'm gonna join the Terpsichory musicians. I'm going to a rehearsal next week to make sure it's for me, but I've been wanting to get involved musically at Fest, and I'm pretty excited about this opportunity. :)

Selling beer was fun, and especially working at Mac's with all the pirates and great music, but since I don't actually *like* beer, it was a little odd at times. I'm still trying to find my niche at Fest, and beer wenching just wasn't it. *shrug*

That sounds exciting! Hopefully will see you there!

Thanks!

But wait, oh no, I just had a thought.... what if the performance overlap with Four Pints Shy's performances?? That would be no good! Anyone have a grid or program from last year so I can check what time 4PS's shows were? Come to think of it, I might have one in the trunk of my car....

Just think how much you could make selling fine art with shoes whilst serving alcohol!

LOL! If only fest would allow it...
Matching/coordinating art and shoes, an interesting concept! Hm, arty shoes or wait... I have a painting of antique shoes, would that work?

Lets see. . . What will I be doing?

Buyin Beer from the girls. Visiting people, watchin performers, playin games. Crackin Wise with the Wolfe. Helpin Big-Baby-Bellied women. Checkin out "bodices" and "kilts." Looking longingly at things I cant afford, but might anyways. Gotta support the arts.

You know. My usual stayin-out-of-trouble agenda.  ;)

Gin and I will be doing what we always do. Strolling the lanes and having fun! Though, I may have a gig lined up to do a little part time work breaking a booth. Not sure, yet, though. Been in touch with the owner and we are discussing things (we've been talking back and forth for a few months now). I don't want no pay for my services, only the ability to stay on grounds after hours! But, and there's always the but, I have not decided if I want to commit to anything. I kinda like coming and going as I please and doing what I want when I want. Not sure if I can commit to working for someone, if even only on a part time basis.....We shall see.....

This year I have shed the clothes of Caterina and will be returning with a new stage act called Cromatico. We are an all female a cappella trio singing madrigals and a few folk songs.

We are playing minstrels (we were formerly going for fey, but for the sake of the show, I think it will be easier to just be minstrels), and will be easy to spot in our striped skirts. (c:

Can't wait for the first day!

Lee and I will be participating in the parade and toasting with the King and Queen on Sept. 26 - plus free tickets to the feast of fantasy!  All because people liked our vow renewal story. (Thanks everyone!)  Even if I make it through academy and become a street character - I can still participate (received official permission from the entertainment dept)   ;D  I'm all giddy now!   :D

For those that weren't at Dress Press, or were at Dress Press and didn't see it, here is a little bit of what I'll be doing at Fest this year.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQTCiORtudQ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQTCiORtudQ)

. . . . Minus the falling on my face at the end.

. . . nevermind, that just might happen as well.

Please note that this is very rough compared to what it is now.

I will be a street character!  Lady Inga Greeves - slightly crazy, eccentric.  She refers to her pet bird (Henry)  and pet cat (Elizabeth) as her children.   Look for me at Opening Gate as well.  I will be standing next to the Queen Mum  ;D  WOO-HOO!  I will be front and off to the right!

Exciting! I have never been part of the front gate show. They never ask me to and they didn't do the gate show for rookies until I had been through acedemy.

I can't wait to see you play on the street. I hope to get to play with you... the thing there is that requires me not being swamped with children. Last year I was... I just hope this year that I can convince a few people to come save me so I can go back stage adn get water and food more than once in the day. Last year that is what happened.... so if I look warm and like I am going to eat my bandana that I use as towels please come and try save me from my fate.

The trick to that is tie something shiny to the end of a stick and I will happily follow it to the watering hole!

That should be easy since I am also a Jewelry Merchant's wife!  LOL!
