Lady Kett & Sidekick will be reporting for opening weekend duty, both days!
Myself the Lady Kat Master Dorian my son will be there almost every weekend Lord Jacob will be there a few times not sure what days yet it will be when ever he does not have work or has a few hours before or after work.
So it looks like it will mainly be the little one and I. we may need someone to hang out with.
Myself the Duchess and both boys opening Saturday! And no less than one day every weekend after that.
Me, in Royal Highlander Guard duty
The Lady and our twin Little Ladies.
...let see...that is ...4!
My pirate husband and I will be there Saturday for sure, and hopefully at least one other weekend during the run.
I'm sure gonna try and be there. It was a miss at the Norman faire, I had just driven 8 hours, somebody with a tailgateless truck dropped a big chunk of metal that went under my car, dented the gas tank but its not leaking. Got to Oklahoma City and my A/C went out, so the last 30 minutes were bad, then they didn't have my fridge at the hotel ready, but luckily I didn't expect them to so had my insulin on ice.
Finally after they delivered the fridge, I tried the Norman Faire, but only lasted an hour. Made the mistake of taking my insulin before going, not counting on such a crowd. Luckily found a hidden away sausage vendor so I could get some food in me. Passed on the drink, as the lines were looooong (good for the vendors though, huzzah) plus it would have been filled with dust. (who ordered all this wind anyway?) haha. The info booth only had the schedule from Friday, so I didn't know who was playing where. Finally was so hot, I just went to Wal-Mart, got some supplies and went back to my room (which was now cool as I turned on the A/C before I left for the faire).
I really don't like what the temps are looking like for Scarborough, but I'm gonna try anyway as I'd like to meet some of you and after a good nights sleep, I'll have a better outlook :) The Four Winds faire the following weekend is still in the logistics phase, but the Scarbourough Faire should hold me until I get back home...
Fear not, I should be in a MUCH better mood come next weekend. ;D
The Lovely Lady Trinn and I will be there!
*and rum... there will be rum there as well*
Don Juan the other one (he he he)
and myself will be there opening Saturday.
A few of the ladies of the Hellshade and I, their Captain, should be in attendance.
Along with us will be Captain Frankie of the Valkyrie's Furi and a few of his men also.
Hope to see you all out at morning tailgate in the parking lot! ;)
When I'm not on a laptop (Monday p.m.), I'll get the list updated in the OP. My fingers are too fat for this laptop keyboard! It'll be fun.
I'll be there.
Myself and my parents will be in attendance!
I'll be there both days!
I know the PP and I will be there at least Saturday, not sure about Sunday.
We are updated to this point in the original post (http://www.renaissancefestival.com/forums/index.php?topic=14792.0)
I'll be there, and I just found out my parents, my brother, and his girlfriend are coming too. Elo - I think I've convinced my ride to go earlier than normal so we can tailgate :)
I'll be there both days all season doing what I always do
My Lady and I will be there on Saturday,
with the Princess in tow.
-H
We will be there on Saturday! ;D
Current plan is to attend at least one day this weekend, possibly both. If I only come one day, I probably won't be in costume. If I come both days, one of them will be in costume and the other will be in street clothes. I just can't take photos when wearing costuming, it feels too wrong after so many years of having strict rules about what I can or can't do while onstage. :)
My youngest son and his fiance are coming with us. Reservations at the ABV Inn for Friday and Saturday night, will be there for opening gate both days, closing gate on Saturday. Craig's fiance Emily is a first-timer, always fun to bring a newbie. Garb is picked out, accessory tote is in order...ready for opening day. Hope to get to meet some more of you guys this season! Oh, we will be in FOF parking and will try to get over to the meet and greet.
I shall be there in my pretty new dress :D.....but you already knew that. :D
Myself, Beth and Matthew will be there both dayz opening weekend. I will be there every weekend not too sure about the boy or Beth(work keeps her away most Sundays)
I The Lady Kat Queen of Cat's and my son Master Dorian the Kitten Prince will be there Sat and Sun! :)
Good crowd coming....opening post updated to this point.
God willing and the creek don't rise...
McNuggett will be there Sunday. Kilt's in the shop getting a new transmission... so the Baron will be there opening day.
I will be there s
Saturday.

I request, no, I demand a hug from you upon first sight! Holy steak on a stick, I have missed you!!
I don't know what rock i've been hiding under, but I TOTALLY forgot about Opening Weekend being this weekend!
Now, to see if I can somehow get myself in order and get up there on such short notice (DOH!)...
Are there any other major weekends that should have a high concentration of us all going, other than Opening? Just wondering, in case we can't make opening...
/facepalm
I still can't believe this crept up on me!! -_-"
JuJu, there will probably be a large group for Celtic/Highland weekend.
April 30 & May 1 - Highland Games
May 14 & 15 - Celtic Music Festival

*have rum will travel*
Done. I even did it without the help of rum!
Half price Scarby tickets on Groupon (http://www.groupon.com/dallas/deals/scarborough-renaissance-festival?utm_campaign=UserReferral&utm_medium=facebook&utm_source=uu27204754) for the next 15 hours...
And yes... I bought a pair, so now I guess I HAVE to figure out a way to get us down there at SOME point this season, huh? Wish it could be this weekend, but probably not...
The good Lady Stalkwell and I will be there.
Stalk well...

Well if not this weekend then..... Highland weekend!! ;D
Getting my stuff ready tonight. You can lose the ?, I'm flying solo this faire since I'm out at Norman, OK for 3 weeks of training. Been taking walks around the pond here feeding ducks just before sundown to try and climatize to the intense, searing heat, but I'll bring a small cooler of cold water to help just in case...
If it gets real bad, I can lose the vest and go with just the shirt, otherwise its just mundanes which I've not worn since the 2nd time I went to a ren festival. Course I got nothing fancy, but then the peasant look is at least much cooler in the summertime ;D
I'll have a few hours driving after being at class all day, so if I don't make the pre-cannon gathering due to sleep and such, I'll certainly make the post parade one.

At this point... ANY weekend would be an awesome weekend to be there!!! :D
You'll be most welcome in either case, Sigundo. Too bad you and Rani & Scally couldn't hook up for the trip down.
For those people coming into town on Friday, does anyone want to meet up for dinner somewhere?
If anyone is driving down I-35W from the North, don't forget there's a race at TMS this weekend. You may do better on I-35E.

Where will you be staying, Lady Rebecca? I'll be with Nim and 2 other ladies...don't mind having four women on my arms ::)
Dearest friends,
It turns out that I will be unable to make it this weekend or this year. Last minute complication that was entirely out of my hands and we won't be able to make the trip down.
Devastated does not even begin to cover it. I'm so sorry I won't be able to get to enjoy the weekend with you all. I hope that it is a fabulous one.
So sorry to hear it, Zoe! I hope everything is OK!
I echo Tink, Zoë.
Merlin, I'll be at the Super 8
Super sad with you sweetheart but love you dearly! We'll go on to conquer a faire another time, I promise. :-*
I'm in... for every weekend. Saturday nights at Super 8, at least for the 1st 3 weekends and closing, the other 4 are up in the air as to lodging so far
You know even after all the planning and discussin, opening day tomorrow doesn't seem real.
I'm so sorry Zoe won't be able to make it. I was looking forward to seeing here and her hat. :'(
But I will be happy to see the friends who can make it!
Hello, all! Weather permitting (no parking in mud for my little vehicle) me and my group will be out on Sunday. I hope to be there early for mimosa time pre-gate opening, but we'll see if that actually happens. :)
Zoë, you'll be missed. Sidekick and I will be at the Super 8 also. ETA around 7:30 PM. I have attempted to bring a well stocked portable bar! :)
We're in place at the Comfort Suites in Waxahachie... Not sure what time the girls are going to be hungry. Lady Rebecca, until we head to chow, I'll keep on this channel if you want to PM me.

I'm glad ya'll made it in safe, Merlin! I'm jealous, I've got 15 minutes more of work and lots of chores tonight...
Since we're not just around the corner, we've learned to take Friday and Monday off for travel, allowing the most faire time. See you at pre-cannon, you sweet thing!
Merlin good to see in the Lone Star State!
I'm here! I'm all checked in, and ready for dinner. I'm hoping to find a subway, since I'm sort of craving it.
What would be a good thing to bring to tailgate tomorrow? (And what time is it, again?)
We are on our way!! ;D
We are here! Room 222 with unstable internet! No one is down at the pool so we're having a cocktail in our room. We'll peek down later, or ya'll can come visit! :-*
Which hotel, Kett? ... never mind... i see
Lady Kett, my internet is really pretty terrible too. But I'm right down the hall!
Lady Rebecca! Up for a meet up at the pool in about 10 mins (~9:30)? Sidekick is fussing with his boots and needs a few minutes, LOL.
Ya'll are too funny... ::) :D
Sorry, Lady Kett, I didn't see your post until just now. And I think it's probably time for bed, if I'm going to make tailgate tomorrow. See you all then!
We made it. The trifecta is checked in at Days Inn and having the standard Friday night round of drinks. Several rounds.
*rum is involved*
Well, we got to see some of you today, but missed a LOT of you! Hopefully my daughter & I will catch up with the Merlins, Lady Kett, and whoever else is there. I'm not sure what time we'll roll in, it may be just prior or just after canon, depending on when I decide to get up, but I will be properly dressed in my new Robinson kilt ;)
We'll be around somewhere, Al-Nimer... It seemed like there was a lot more people than usual Saturday, but my perspective is from only 1 or 2 trips down a year. I thought I saw you once, but blinked and couldn't find you again.
Well, I saw and talked to both of you, Merlin and Al-Nimer, several times. Didn't know you were looking for each other.

Yes, there were more people than usual for opening day! However I was trying to keep up with 5 other people of my own :o
Today I'll only have my daughter, so I can look around for people a bit easer ;D

That's quite alright! I'm sure we'll run into each other today sometime :)
We saw a lot of people, we missed a lot of people. Not too many made the 2:00pm meet & greet at the Dirty Duck.
I don't know if there was a meet & greet Sunday. If there was, I beg forgiveness. We were at Sholo's show, and Nim was getting a nubian bosom realignment. I knew she was in trouble when Sholo kept her for last....
I never made contact with BagPipeBabe last week or this week. Maybe next time? I think I ran into most everyone else.
Apparently, there wasn't. But Lady Kett (and family) and I were there!
Apparently I had the area wrong for the meet and greet. We hung around the FoF area near the human chess set from about noon until well after the parade on Sunday.
Saturday we were on the opposite side of faire at the Cat & Fiddle pub when the parade went by and realized there was no way we would make it to the meet and greet.
I am guessing we missed seeing way more people than we saw.
Maybe next time
*at least I knew where my rum was...*
I saw you like 3 times Teach, but I don't know if you even knew who I was. It was funny soon as the PP took his coat off, no one knew who we were LOL.
We ran into alot of people, and made it over to the meet and greet with out too many problems. It was nice to just sit and hang out a little. I might talk the PP into heading over to the Cat and Fiddle a little next weekend just to see who is hiding out over there. ;D
I saw you twice that I knew off (must have missed the third). I was speaking to you when we were getting drinks at the pub along the back of the faire.
And then I was distracted by my drink and when I looked up you had vanished lol
*I admit it, rum is a bit of a distracting influence*
I honestly thought you didn't know who I was when you were getting your drink, and didn't hear you clearly. Of cource Rum comes first before conversation. :)
It would have been great to meet everyone who was out there, but I did enjoy meeting those I was able to! And I agree with Lady Stitch, it was very nice to just sit, rest, and enjoy good company! :)

Nope, I knew. I believe we actually met briefly last season. And the pink guy next to you is kind of a giveaway regardless.
Next time we will try having an actual conversation.
*over some rum even!*
Yes the PP is a natural give away who I am. He 'kind of' stands out. ;D Yeah we talked last season. You are the reason he had a flask of Pyrate to share at tailgate that morning. Thanks to you we have made many new friends, and converted a few more :)
Oh and PP swears we WILL have a conversation next time. :)
