I shall be making the journey to the faire this weekend and probably only for Saturday. Who else is going so we could meet up? Most likely by the Meadery near Magregor games.This is the weekend several of my friends in management from Upper Wis. faire will be there as well.
Clisto
Bummer, this week is the only Saturday the wife and I shall not be there. Have a fun filled day Sir Clisto.
I'm going one of the days this weekend...as we have never met I will try for Saturday, always willing to meet fellow R/F types!
I shall be there.
I shall be there as well. This time George and I will actually have some time to hang out with people as we took Saturday off. The only thing we have to be on time for is the 2pm Feast. YAY! We haven't had a day off in 4 years!
I will be there both days slingin beer at Foaming Stein... Yay beer!! ;D
Rage and I willl be there both days also.
Oh Bloody Hell!!! not you again....oh wait that was my outside voice again.. :o
Probably will not make the 10am mead booth, bloody work meeting. Thou I will be there both days as usual... ;D
Glad that you will be making it out again Sir Clisto! We will see you around on Saturday!
Cheers,
Sean
Greetings Everyone! The intrepid band of knights from Doon Douglas will be on pilgramage to your festival this Saturday. ( we include Sir Clisto amoung our number ) We look forward to seeing all of you again. Please stop by Mac's pub and say hello. We usually take up station there for a large portion of the day. The pirates inherent to that locale are always friendly and welcoming. We look forward to seeing all of you again and are very appreciative of your support of the Wisconsin Renaissance Faire over the last 3 years. This is one of my favorite weekends of the whole year. I get to spend the day with all of you and drink beer. Huzzah! See you on Saturday
I work till 1 on Saturday but will be hanging out afterwards! Woot!
We'll be there Saturday for sure and possibly Sunday as well. As a bonus, no kids!
I'll be in my familiar spot doing my familiar gig.
I won't be back until last weekend!
Do have plenty of fun! :)
I will be there on Saturday. Gin is a maybe.
I'll be there Sunday with the Red Hatters, see you at the Mead Booth :D
Dayna
I shall be there pushing soap again. :)
And it is quite the soap you push Ferret - love the patchouli!
I shall be there both days as long as the Doctors give me the green light on Friday.
Yay, the more the merrier!
I will be there (childless!!!! ;D) Saturday. Mead booth at ten-ish. Chess board most of the day, which right next to Mac's, so stop by and say hi.
Wahoo!! Jenn has given me the green light to go it alone Sunday!!!! We will both be there Saturday.
I'll be there on Sat. and Nyte will be there on Sun. I have to work the next three Sundays, but plan to try to get out of work at 5 and get the last couple of hours of fest in if I can.

Everything okay for you?
I know i said we'd be there both days. I won't be there till noonish, forgot i have school til noon. I'll be going to school in garb. (saves time later)
I'll be there...doing the usual, dancing, and wandering around aimlessly. :-)
Wow!!! seems like a brood will be there. Can't wait to see everyone again. Even Biccardi... Wait, my outside voice is out of control too. LOL!! The countdown begins... And my homies from Up Nort there too... Chad, I will give you a ring on Thursday.
Clisto
Just put my Knee Cap where it did not belong.
I shall be there, although I am not sure which day yet....

OUCHY!!!!! Not fun!! Hope it's back where it belongs now!!! :-*
It is just letting the swelling go down told the Doc I could just drive and have someone else throw but the Drugs he gave me to take made that one a negative, But I will still help with set up and Tear down only thing that can keep me from fest is Hospital or Death ;D ;)

I am not sure about that death part....I have seen you a couple of mornings that looked like that. :P
I'll be there with my babies Sat and Sun. :)
I always work the 9-11 shift at the Herp Hut, so stop by and pet my snake! (which always sounds better coming from a guy...)
I'll have my big Okeetee, my medium Ghost, and two widdle babies not much bigger than a pencil. :)

I remember once when I was about 16, I asked one of the snake men if I could pet his snake, completely NOT intending the innuendo... what that ever embarrassing, lol!!
Tee hee. :D
I usually get boys fidgeting when I let my snakes snuggle up in my cleavage. ;)
Sir Clisto,
Just wanted to let you know that my lady made another new bra and will be sporting it this weekend.
Then I was still with the living I think I hope ;D
Doggone it.
I think my usual bodice has given up the ghost. The front closure is warped to the point of "why bother, I hate you." And of course it does this a day and a half before Fest. feh. Does anyone know if the on-site costume shop can/will lend out temp bodices? I'm asking mah herp hut homies as well (I vaguely remember seeing some upstairs, which may or may not actually -belong- to people), but I wasn't sure of emergency garb protocol.

I'm not at all sure on "normal" garb protocol. However, I've got my Irish Dress out there. I don't really lend out my leathers and the one I bought from Etheral Threads needs some boning in it.... Let me know if that helps. I may be too tall though....Contact me if nothing else comes about. I have sources.
I mean emergency garb re: the costume shop. They would have a wide selection which is all right there, so I don't have to worry about a bunch of (very nice, wonderful, awesome) people bringing along extra bodices that end up not fitting me. :)
Well, if you want to do it the easy way...but that's never as much fun! :)
Sir Clisto I won't be there either. Hope you have a good time!!

Sir Clisto,
Just wanted to let you know that my lady made another new bra and will be sporting it this weekend.
Well, she will have to sport it in my direction as before, otherwise I would not have noticed it... Yea right!!! LOL. I will make a special note to detail this time.
And Goody, sorry you cant make it, but thank you for the happy thoughts.
it is with much sadness that I will not be at faire this weekend. I just got released from the ER. As some of you know I have been having problems with my lower back. Yesterday it got to the point where I could not do stairs. This morning I could not get out of bed even and was in much pain.
For the next 3-5 days I will be on vicotin and a muscle relaxor.
Hope you all have a great weekend.
Sean

Sorry to hear that!!!! Hope you get to feeling better soon!!!!
does vicodin blend with mead?
I would suggest you not take that with that. (As a RN)
They do mix, however I can't remember whether the pain actually stopped, or if I just stopped caring ;D
Either way, I agree, not a combination to be recommended, especially if you intend to go anywhere other than between the bed and the potty.
Dayna
We shall be out on Sat.
And in honor of the Red Hat Society, I shall be wearing my red hat and nothing else.
I was disappointed on Labor Day, Jay from Reve du Faun usually wears a red bowler for Labor Day (and at cast call gives a little pro-worker/labor speech*), but he took it off because it was too hot.
*Rumor is people usually roll their eyes at his little speech, but this year he did something different and I heard actually got some chuckles this year.
Sorry to here about your Back Sean, The Doc gave me the Green light to go this weekend as long as I do not over do the knee and take the Hydrocodone ( No drinking for me :-\ ), See you all this weekend.
It was a very good day today.
I made more than a few people smile.
And I even saw a Noodlecorn!
What an awesome day! I got called a fairy, a jester and drag. It doesn't get any better!!! Still had lots trying to figure if I was a guy or girl hehe. I did not see the FOPS which I was disappointed at. Maybe next time.
I was able to see Sir Clisto and Lord Ironhead that was nice. I almost wore my knight garb. Waiting for DB to have a day off from the booth to do that.
Best part was I found a new flask and a holster. Thanks for hanging out with us Stormy and Gin.
oh...and a new song by the Dregs but I cant remember the name...help me out Noble Dreg.
Great day for us also at faire!
We had 3 friends who met us out there in the afternoon and we got to play tour guides. It was a lot of fun for my wife and her 2 friends, but not so much sometimes for me and and the other hubby in our group, since those 3 ladies can spend MAJOR amounts of time window shopping! He and I quickly concluded that was what beer was for! That beer helped us pass the time while the ladies did their browsing.
Our friends even left with some nice trinkets. One with a bodice and her hubby with a one of Docs mugs from Mug of the Woods. Our other friend found a leather bodice she really wanted, but it didn't fit her. Seems she is too petite for a small! But, she got the card of the gal that makes them and she is going to custom make her one.
It's kinda fun playing tour guide and getting a chance to see faire through their eyes...Well, it was a lot of fun except when the gals spent all that time in some of those shops!...LoL
And Sleepy...It was a blast hanging with you and Jen (it always is) until our friends showed up. Especially, when your wearing your FOP garb! I too get a kick out of hearing the comments people make as you walk by. Some good humor there!
Our daughter joined us for the day after all.....apparently Panda thought spending the day with us was preferable to hanging out with her brothers, imagine that.
We spent the latter part of the day in Mac's, found a nice dry corner well before the rain started. We picked up the Dregs' latest CD, Panda really enjoyed listening to/watching the Dregs. I also came across an errant Fest Friends pin leaving Mac's after 7, we'll drop it off at the FF booth to be reclaimed.
Originally we intended to attend both days this weekend, but every one slept in this morning (I was up at 10:15ish and was the first one stirring).
We also picked up Fidchell from MacGregor's games, and overall had another wonderful day.
Had a nice day Sat 9/6. Wanted to make the mead booth at 10am but didn't work out.
Got there about 3pm and the far lots were about full. Looked like a busy day. Hope the merchants did well.
Started to rain about 6:30pm or so. The weather said no rain Sat but rain Sunday. They were close.
Used 6 of the 2 for 1 coupons to stock up on tickets for rest of the season for ourselves and friends.
White Trill,
That was probably my Fest Friends pin, so thank you! I had to duck out of Mac's once to grab stuff from the chess board, and then again the other way out to sneak a peak at Suze's baby.
I got home and realized it was missing.
Soooo, Peggy Elizabeth if no one else claims the FF pin, it is probably mine.
had a fun time hanging out with Toar and Ketch all day. I saw Rage, LD, and Majicbox early in the day and then they disappeared.
Sleepy,
I thought you looked fab-u-less on Saturday. Thanks for the "smooch"
pleasure all mine :o
Kate,
We'll drop the pin off at the friends' booth next Saturday morning.
what great fun again!
I am so very jealous, but glad you all had a fantastic weekend.
Sir Clisto and the Wi Faire group,
Sorry that I missed you all.
On a happy note I rented and watched the entire Season 1 of The Tudors. Very interesting! The costuming is amazing!
Didn't see too many people I knew, spent the majority of the day Sunday. Did run into Ferret and we had a lovely little chat. There was just enough rain about 10:30 to get my cloak damp, the rest of the day was dry moving into sunny, so the dust was much reduced. Sorry to have missed so many people, just have to keep in touch via the forum.
Dayna
I brought two co-workers out on Sunday (the 3rd never showed up, the hoser...), and NM was able to get away from the booth long enough for the 4 of us to watch Vil. :D Fabulous as always, and the new people are on FIRE! I lol'd, lemme tell ya.
My poor Fei Lian was quite chilly both days, but I think he likes it that way, zooming about all over the heck. Silly snake.

Yay for meeting more people! Would anyone believe me if I said I was shy? I bought my first Felix bodice this weekend (I was pettable on Saturday) and had a riding crop out with me which resulted in my sounding like I was from Eastern Europe on Sunday.
It was fun seeing Sleepy out as a fop. Fops have always made me smile. Sunday I felt like my head was going to explode, so I was sort of glad it was a "slow" day though I wish people would buy more! I blame the economy this week.
Sleepy, it was a pleasure to meet you. I actually got to meet several others from RF this time too. Had a great time there. Biccardi, as always it is a pleasure seeing you and your lady. Need to get you a permanent job hawking ale I think. That's your nitch... LOL!!
Rafe, sorry you couldnt make it. And even more sorry I didn't see your lady and her new bra top. LOL... How depressing.....
Magikboxman, it was a pleasure to see you again. Albiet right as you were leaving.
Anyway, I will be posting my pictures later this week, so keep looking for updates. Cool weather, great company and beautiful, what more can there be? Well, macs Pub and the great mead. LOL
Take care my friends,
Sir Clisto
Hey Sir Clisto, now I know who you are...you're the "Badger guy"! Glad you had an enjoyable day.
Oh, and prob a Packers fan too eh? Good thing you gave up Farve or you might of actually won last night...or maybe you did.
