I am going to Arlington on the 22nd going to take a cutie pie and her son to scarby for the first time.
for what it's worth, I'll be around the 23rd
-H
Awesome! You'll find plenty of us there. If you come early, the morning tailgate is entertaining. If you don't, we sometimes have an R/F Meet & Greet following the parade. Looks like we are trying to push it a smidgeon after the parade since we have some who march in it, and they need time to finish up. ETA on opening weekend is about 2 PM at or near the Dirty Duck Pub (far left as you enter the Faire). There's always a chance that will become the norm as the season progresses.
Ok that was more info that you probably cared about! :)
M'lady, Squire Alec and I will be progressing from the Midlands.
His Lordship and I will be there, as always on Saturdays. ;D
I should be there.
I am coming down April 23rd from Austin, meeting a new girl there and her 2 boys, they have never been to a Ren fair, and I will not be in garb, cause that may be a little awkward.
Her oldest boy is 9 years old and huge, and plays football, I was describing it to him, and it turns out he loves dinosaurs, and animals, and got uber-excited about the museum of Mythical creatures, I have never seen it my self, so what is it basically?
Also I told him there would be jousting and he got excited about that cause "That is how King Henry the II died!!!" his words, kinda cool that kid knew anything about any kings.
Anyone else gonna be there on the 23rd?
I hope to meet you all, I need to buy a belt and a Rapier frog, or baldric while there.
What time do yall start the tailgate?
Well, the tailgate starts at 8:00 and ends about 9:30 when everyone packs up and heads for the gate. Row 11, I'm sure you'll recognize someone. For opening there was such a crowd that It was hard to see everyone. But by the 23rd that will have thinned down somewhat.
We went to the Mythical Monster Museum last year but didn't go last weekend so not sure if it's been updated or changed. It's a walk through sort of museum exhibit with pictures and descriptions of various types of creatures. Like fairies, gnomes, sprites, etc. The descriptions will help you with the differences between them and describes their characteristics. There are then various and sundry monster bits - claws, wings, skeletons, etc. We thought it was a nice exhibit and worth the price of admission. If you go this year, report back on it!
Actually I/we plan on being there both the 23rd and 24th. We usually don't do much on Easter weekend.
I will be there both days and hopefully will not miss tailgate again either. Was just too tired opening day to make that. LMAO
We will be there on the 23rd I don't know about 24th yet.
We will be there that weekend - will anyone be hiding easter eggs at the tailgate? :D

I suppose I can hide a few..... depends on where you want me to hide them. ;)
Lady Kett said she dropped her necklace opening day. She had a couple of us searching high and low for it. I'll leave it to her to tell you whether or not she was hoping one of us would actually find it... ::) :o
Interesting, very interesting. :D
We halfway plan on being there the 23rd.

LOL, you are just mischievously bad Merlin. I know why Lady Nimue keeps you around! Yes, I lost a necklace. The chain broke, and we couldn't find it on the ground. It was stuck in the lower portion of my bodice, LOL. Apparently it broke BEFORE the serious tying took place. And I did find it before opening canon! Which given the sheer volume of adult libations, was quite an accomplishment!!!
< you need to come this weekend. you need to come this weekend. you need to come this weekend>
Did anyone hear anything?!
Don't twist my arm, Lady Kett. Don't twist my arm! ...
...
... You can twist harder than that, can't you?!? :P
C'mon, Merlin. It's not THAT far to drive in nice weather. Open the windows, crank the music of your choice. You already have a FoF pass... You KNOW you want to get the most out of it, don't you? Hmmmmmmmm?? ;D
I'm getting ganged up on! Nim's tugging on me as well... I'm taking it under advisement... :)
I'm just going to jump in here and gang up on you as well...you know the old saying: When in doubt, Fair it out. Well, that might not be an actual saying, BUT- I think it fits the situation...

I'd say that Nim won that battle. ;D
Hopefully my foot will be in better shape by then. While unpacking from last weekend, I apparently either dropped something on it or rammed it against something. I didn't really notice it until it felt like there was a rock or something in my sandal. When I reached down, my foot was about 1-1/2 times normal size. I'm getting about with a cane, and my foot is purple.
OUCH! Take good care of yourself.
And Merlin, you might need a new hotel to stay at! Take care of that foot. It's an important part of your spellcasting to bring Lady Nimue to Scarby!
It feels much better this morning than it did when I went to bed last eve—I talking about my foot, Lady Kett—and I even starting to get movement in my little toes again.
Nim is going to check to see if she can get the time off at this late date, although we could just make it a shorter trip, if need be. My love really wants to make the trip, as do I.
Merlin good to hear that you are on the mend. The weather is going to be great just cast the autopilot spell and come on down!

So...did I miss something? What happened to your foot MtE? Was it because of Jack Daniels or the Tornado ;D ;)
LK...when are you NOT going to be at Scarby :D
Any chance you and your respective teams will be on the 30th weekend?
MacKee, I'm not even sure what I did to my foot. As I was unloading the carriage after our journey to Scarborough, I apparently hit my foot on something, or hit something against it. One of those times when you bump into something, say "shiner bock," and then go on. Later, I thought I felt a rock under the strap on my sandal, reached to clear it, and found that my foot was greatly swollen! My toes are currently a lovely royal shade of purple.
As it is not my habit to conjoin with Sir Jackson Daniels while keeping the many horses that pull my carriage under control, I cannot lay blame for this incident upon him, nor upon Mother Nature and her anger on the morning after faire. No, good sir. The blame is mine alone.
Well...you must be more carful then wizard :D
Or ya could always cast a spell for a pair of Red Wings (http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2479/3882393049_27db7f57f4_o.gif) (http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2572/3883186744_ae49d92eb6_o.gif)

I hope you didn't get bitten by something nasty.

Today the toes look worse than they feel, so I guess that's an improvement.
Is it open that day?

You and Sidekick...aka 'mr. builder' staying at the 8 anytime soon?
We'll be back up in 3 weeks for some Highland fun ;D
We owe pappa Merlin a round or two ;D
May stay Sunday this time...kinda a long haul just for one day inside the fair ;)

If we know there are travelers coming to the 8, we'll probably book a room there and save the commute. And yes, you should pop in Sunday for a few hours!

As much as we would like to stay closer to faire, we will be staying in Lake Dallas with Angie's mom (about an hour drive :( )
If weather predictions and/or my foot don't improve, we will likely, and regrettably, cancel plans to come down, as tentative as they were to begin with.
Nim did get the time off, and there're no tasks at my job that can't hold a day or two. But with last trip's storm experience, and the storms that came roaring through here last night (which I again slept through, but did a lot of damage in the area), I'm a little nervous about driving through yet another storm.... forecast looks a little better than it did yesterday. I think I'll go ahead and book the room, just in case, because we really want to come! We'll make ready to travel, and just decide Friday morning.
Merlin, you know if you get here I'm sure someone would help you get a chariot to cart you around if your foot isn't better. ;D
I did that the 2nd time I went to faire. I was there, that is what mattered. It is also how I got my faire name.
"Lady Stitch, she who battle the mightly needle and lost." (I had a sewing needle removed from my foot 3 days before faire, but was still detemined to go.) ;D
I'm pretty sure the foot will be fine, or good enough. My primary concern at the moment is the weather. Not so bad once we there, but driving 5 hours through heavy weather is too stressful, and dangerous.

I'm glad you're foot is getting better! I agree driving in it
is stressful and dangerous, as I once drove 5 hours through a Christmas snow storm in OK! But how can you believe a forecast that's a week away, when the prognosticators cannot even agree about the next day? ;)
MtE, just make sure when you down here at TRF...don't bring a Hurricane ;D ;)
Aye, MacKee... this harsh weather seems to be stalking me!
Aye my friend...i'll have the O'Douls waitin' for ya...and yer boy ;D
I'll O'Douls you, ya scurvy dog!
Oh gag me! ::)
;D
Okay, now... as I eye the weather cautiously, I have booked a room for Easter weekend. AccuWeather, which seems to be everything but, says we might have a reasonable weekend. I reserve the right to pull out at last minute!
Waaaaaait a minute there wizzard! Ye just be castin' a spell for fair wieather there. Accuweather said possible Tstorms on Fri and Sun. Sat is supposed tae be clear and sunny but one ne'r know. So be a good lad and cast a nice weather spell and if yaz needz help I here Queen Bonny has a wonderful weather spell as well. ;D
Getting closer - we are leaving the Midlands on Wednesday arriving Thursday. Will see you all on the weekend. Lady Kett - I'll be expecting a cold one ;).

I'm trying to keep a perfect record here, lad. I'm not sure if it has been careful planning or the Bad Weather Faerie fears me, but I have never been rained upon at the shire. It's not the rain
there that would concern me as much as it would be 350 mile drive through storms. With the moderation in the forecast, it appears the spirits wish us to join the villagers this weekend. I hope to see you Saturday morn. If we come, we'll have Harp and Smithwick in the cooler, and I'll tote some cider for you, Angus...
MacKee, if'n ye try to pass off some O'Doul's on mea, I'll have the executioner part yer hair!
We should be there on Easter Saturday & possibly Easter Sunday (but only in the afternoon).

As long as it's just one, I've got you covered! ;) Just kidding, looking forward to seeing you and your fine lady! We'll be in Row 12 at approx 8:30 AM each morning. Gray truck. I'd tell you to ask folks where the bar was, but that's sort of everywhere!
@ Merlin - here's to some pleasant driving weather and if any storms come, that they aim north (but not so far north as to hit Rani!)

I have a soft spot for Smittys' :)
All goes well, I'll have some iced down for you at tailgate Saturday...Just drop by Homer, the Odyssey. I'll be as close to Lady Kett as possible...metaphorically speaking, of course.
I'll be coming this weekend with Var. See you all in Friends of Faire parking. I will bring my good weather potion with me. Hoping for cooler temps- I will try.
As of now <crossing fingers> the storms are supposed to move out of the area Friday.
It will be a tad warm, but plenty of water and shade will be available.
I swear the weather for this weekend is in flux every hour. I'm going to push to have the PP's hot weather doublet done in time, but if it is going to rain/ 70's, he may wear his coat, so I won't need the doublet.
I'm tempted to toss my cloaks in my trunk just in case. :-\

Ketterer family faire rule #1:
ALWAYS pack the cloaks. If you pack the cloaks and don't need them, you just have to root around the truck to get to what you need. If you DON'T pack the cloaks, you need them. Period!
Damn, now I gotta get a cloak. ;D

I'm still having problem with my foot. It's still bruised and tender. The weather looks better, albeit hotter than I would like it. My inclination is to just let this weekend go on without me.

We packed our cloaks! (no rain, no rain, no rain - oh wait, that was Woodstock - although it is good that a piece of memory from back then actually showed up in my brain - maybe the cells are not lost, just 'un-located' )
packing my cloak too. it is part of the weather spell. Hope it rains here!
hhhhhmmmmmm........ Nim wants to see everyone... I'm just not so sure... If you don't mind that I may be sitting a lot because of my foot.... it looks like.... I've been ordered... Jeez! It's no fun being an all-powerful wizard when the wife says, "We go...or ELSE!"
:D :D Just kidding (as I duck) We really are excited about coming down.
PS: who the hell is going to carry my litter? ???
Chance of attending: 80% and rising?!? (((quit threatening me, Nim!!!!!)))
GO NIM GO!!!!! :)

When I first joined cast I weighed 500 pounds and my arthritis made it hard for me to move more than 50 yards at a time. I may have lost weight and lessened my arthritis, but I STILL remember where all of the best sitting spots are if you have need of them. :)
What a turn since yesterday—for the worse. Having trouble walking, even with the cane this morning. We have decided that it would be ill-advised for us to come down this weekend. Broken foot (?) ... talk about your lame excuse. Try your best to have a good time without us, though I know it will be a difficult task... :-\

Have you seen a Doctor about it? We'll miss you, but you need to take care of yourself.
The chances of the PP and I being there this weekend are at 50/50. The PP woke up this morning with the Stomache flu. Depending on he and I feel come this weekend we may or may not be there. We will miss you if we are not there. :(

I would rather you stay home and heal than come here and be miserable. That means next time that you do come, you will have to have twice as much fun.
I think that's very wise advice. If I get wound up enough, I may even have three times the fun.

Saddly the PP and I will not be there this weekend. He is wiped from being sick, and I think just needs some down time to heal, and get better. Plans are still set to be there next weekend with new garb for both of us. Have fun, and stay dry everyone. ;D
Sorry not to See you Merlin. And Lady Stitch too! Sending healing spells for your foot!And PP's tummy! POOF!
I am still headed out with Var today. Yayyy!
See you all tomorrow!
I've been wishing all day that we'd been able to come down. The foot actually felt fine this morning, but has begun to throb as the day wore on. I'm sure it would have ended up quite problematic had we come.

We had a wondrous tme - thanks to all. Lady Kett and sidekick (will see you again at CRF), Quenn Bonnie (I despise peeps), Var, Merlin, Angus, Donna and Don Juan and all the others of our friends at Scarby. We shall see you next year. You are always welcome to join us in Minnesota.

We drove staight through from Dallas to Cedar Rapids (Iowa), not too bad except for the 3 hours of rain at the end of the trip. The extra couple of hours to Minnesota could be a bit much! Maybe a business trip (to snag the cost of airfare) and then some pleasure time??
You can still come to Kansas City too ;)

Most definitely....so concentrate all your energies on Highland games weekend my wizard friend(http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2428/3882392599_d4418758ea_o.gif)
If you are unable to teleport yourself...no worries...we can always raise a tankard at TRF (http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3487/3882392427_f8f1ed5fe4_o.gif)
And yes...leave the O'Doul's at home ;D
On side note you might appreciate. The PP and I went into a liquor store so that we could get out Marsala wine for our chicken Marsala. We always check out the discount bin because you never know what you might find. Inside a basket market "50 cent beer singles" was one lowly bottle of beer. I mean at 50 cents even if it is terrible , it's beer right? This poor bottle of beer, was guess what? Odule's Amber. No even for 50 cents would people touch it ::)
Carry on with your normal trouble making. ;D
You DIDN'T buy it? ;)
Ok....so whatever makes you think I'm starting trouble.... ::)
Merlin started it.... :D
Sure... blame me...
