120 days, 17 hours, 3 minutes and 51 seconds til the Opening Cannon at Scarby.
Yeh yeh yeh, I know it's early. But I miss faire and my fairemily. :'(
I've been counting down by months so far, cause it has smaller numbers so it makes me feel better.
;D Sweet!
Faire isn't that far off!
118 days, 21 hours, 7 minutes and 18 seconds
I'm just hoping I'll be moved and settled by then. Few things so far have been more hectic than trying to prepare for faire in the midst of a sea of boxes, or more maddening than leaving for faire hoping that you'll be able to remember where home is on Sunday, since you've lived there for less than a week!
I can't wait!! :o
We'll no one can say we wern't warned when opening is, haha.

Must sell Blazer for camping trailer.....not much time....
I'm gonna try to be there for Pirates invasion (natch!). I most likely have a move in the near future & hopefully the company I work for will still be in biz. Me - I'm a hotel person.
112 days, 11 hours, 42 minutes, and 35 seconds...

I'm also trying to make this coming faire year my first at Scarborough. Yeah us ;D
If I figure correctly, today is 97 days from opening cannon! We're into the double digits now!
Lady Morna,
Mistress of Conundrum Castle
and Lady-in-Waiting to two
royal housecats
Now that we are out of the triple digits, I get to panic now.
It is a good kind of panic, the kind where bodices get made and
clothes, shoes and gear get washed and cleaned for the coming season.
Gaaaah, I've got to get a bunch of chemises and skirts and save up money and yikes!
96days, 16 hrs,9 min and 30 sec till opening cannon
I got out my new underskirt and tried it on with my hoops and overskirt today. I need a new chemise!!! Time to go cyber-shopping!
Almost to the new year, under 100 days till opening day....bring on the fuzzy warm days of spring and throw wide the gates...!!!!!!!!!!
As a wise man once said to me at opening gate...
"If you see everyone around you pluggin their ears, might want to follow suite"
..BOOM!...
*Car alarms* *Cheering* and *sounds of music playing from the other side of the gate*
Ah.. let it begin!!
OMG!! Thanx for the warning.

88 days, 16 hours, 39 minutes and 37 seconds!!!!
Huzzah! I made my Motel reservations! Now hoping I can make a few weekends at Scarby. Depends on rides there and back. IH 35 is beyond my driving expertise- or lack thereof! LOL! Hopefully I will see you there!
82 days, 21 hours, 3 minutes, and 11 seconds.

I have to finish my dress! :o Just deconstructed the bodice, removed all the old trim, have to dye it now. And then.. put it all back together! And, do it all in a month!
*sheesh* this is going to be harder than I thought.
Now? How about Now? Now?
Now? Now? ? Now? how about now?
*rum?*

Poor Eloquent!
Hope you are back on your feet soon! And dinna be surprised if others make you SIT DOWN a lot once you are Scarby-side.
*nod nod* Had my surgery today and it went very well for all those wondering. Lots of sleep for me right now so I should be back to hell-raisin' shape come the time I return to school, just in time for the FoF Preview Event. Thanks for the well wishes everyone!
Hugs! My spell will work- but rest helps! See you Opening weekend!
Glad to hear all went well.
I knew I was jones-ing for my Faire fix, but I didn't know how bad it was until just a little while ago. My hubby and I had just gotten through running a bunch of errands, and I was tired. I sent Mark into the store for the last item needed, and I stayed in the car with the dog. As Mark was coming out of the store, we saw two women in garb (one even wearing a tail) going into the store. You just don't see that in Nocona, Texas. I bolted out of the car immediately; I HAD to find out what ren faire they were going to, just in case their was a new faire in the area I didn't know about! I caught up with them and found out it wasn't a renaissance faire, but something called a "Rendezvous" they were attending, and it was just a few miles from here. They were with a group that dressed in the time period of the American pioneers, and they were camping in authentic canvas tents, she said. They had shows and vendors, and they invited me. One of them was from near Waxahachie, and was familiar with Scarby. I explained that when I saw the garb, particularly the tail, I thought maybe there was a new Renaissance Faire in town. I invited them to Scarby, and they invited me to their Rendezvous. Until I saw them, I didn't know just how bad my need for a Faire was getting! I'm not the outgoing type who would normally chase down perfect strangers in a grocery store.
Can't wait till opening cannon!!!
Quote from: Zaubon on March 01, 2009, 01:00:38 AM
How about now? :o
MOM.... Zaubon is on my side!!!!!!! :P
Meg, Glad everything went well with your surgery. Hope you are back to 100% by Scarby. Take care :)
gahh... I want it to be faire really really bad. So bad I'm checking the forums from my phone. I can't sleep and I'm super stir crazy. FairenowPLZ?!
hmmm...time to start doing rennie math!
Let's see...Today doesn't count because it's already started...
the Friday before faire doesn't count...because I will be traveling to faire...
The Saturday of Faire doesn't count...because I will be at faire...
SOOOOOO....
;D ;D Only 17 more days for me!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D
You gotta love Rennie Math!!! ;)
very nice, you carried the four and everything
Quote from: Macintyre on March 16, 2009, 05:21:11 PM

He He He ;D
Meg,
Glad the only thing not going your way is faire opening sooner. Glad the removal was a sucess, but do take it easy on yourself...ease into it.
Now is it time??? ;D
How bout now? ;D
no and no. but only a week and 3 days till the sneak preview.
That's way too long. It needs to be now!
I vote for Now! There is Way too much reality in my life! I NEED faire!
Right Queen B, the weather is nice...let's go ahead and get started! They should open Scarby in March, what with global warming and all!
Can anyone guess what my vote will be???
I think faire should open NOW!!!
;D ;D ;D
It is 14 days, 22 hours, 2 minutes and 36 seconds until Saturday, April 4, 2009 at 10:00:00 AM
Two weeks...don't know if I can make it that long...can you tell I was excited for faire by my latest project? ;D
(http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn213/megsfairephotos/IMG_1037.jpg)
Tis not perfect but hey, I wanted to make a flag...thing for the back window of my car! So I did!
Gotta represent! ;)
Wow, cool eloquent...looks fine to me. Sherry and I still need to get R/F pins. I think some folke look at us and think they know who we are and we do want to meet more R/F folke this year. I am officially bringing my daughter and her kids back for opening day this year. They came last year and it was incredibly perfect for them. The kids have found this forum and are watching the countdown. They missed opening cannon last year by 15 minutes, but will make it this year...we are staying on Friday night in Wax.
I can almost catch the aroma of turkey legs and cinnamon pecans...........bring on SCarby 2009!
The owls hooting around in our neighborhood reminded me of
Birds of Prey, put on by
Last Chance Forever...they kept it up all day!
14 days, 13 hours, 55 minutes...
This time 2 weeks from now...we will be at faire! ;D ;D ;D Yay! ;D
Is my rennie math right? ;)
yes it is. hopefully we all won't get too smashed the night before on my new mead.

Mmm-hmm.
;) I like mead.
Got it...Elo likes mead

Elo likes mead and Loki and other things too...

yes i did say mead. first weekend is my b-day weekend and the test trial of my first batch of homemade mead. so please come and be a guinea pig. :D

excellent ;)
I wish I could be working with my shop again this season. Fire Gems will not be there this 2009 season. This year seems like a year for Scarby. It is much needed, however I might be able to attend the fair once this year. Any recommendations as to what weekend that most of RF will be there?
HUGS! You will be missed Element! So sorry about Fire Gems too! Opening and closing are the big R/F weekends.
So far I can only find rides for the first 2 weekends.
I vote for now, too! I'm having my annual bout of Renaissance Faire dreams again.

*shudder*
Ren Faire Dreams!
*tremble*
I am always late for something.
I am always looking for my costume.
*shudder*
Alright, I'm starting a new thread somewhere: Ren Faire Dreams
Faire dreams! Yes! Missing costume, forgot flask! Staff, mug, all garb! Why me? I guess faire dreams are common.
I have a recurring strange one though.
Hopefully I will be all there for opening!
LOL!
Open the Gates Already!!! They sure are taking their sweet time! ;D lol ;)
How much longer???
11 days! 11 days! Jeeeeeeeeeeez, can't time go any faster?? *bouncy*
11 days is about right for my knee to heal enough to be able to stand on it all day. I'll live with the current schedule.... :'(
*bouncing with Elo, but careful not to bounce on Z's knee* ;)
Open...Open...Open ;D
It is 10 days, 0 hours, 46 minutes and 55 seconds until Saturday, April 4, 2009 at 10:00:00 AM
I had to check and be sure..........it feels like the time is crawling.
Wish I was going to be there with you all, but won't get to happen until closing weekend for me, this season. I'll be at my home Faire thinking about you all, though!
Not enough time left to prepare. Wow it is getting close.
I could be prepared TODAY!
I need faire now! Way too much reality in my life! LOL!
Me too Queen B! I visited my daughter and her kids yesterday and they are all set with their garb and ready for their first garbbed day. They came last year and of course fell in love. We are all staying at America's Best Value Inn and will be there with them (my daughter, her husband and their six kids!) How many days now???? Let's see, only 4 days till the FOF event...then 6 days after that, divided by the factor of "wanting it to get here faster"...that makes it tomorrow! I gotta get packed. See you all at opening cannon!
Jacob and I can't wait we will be there! I miss everyone so very much and just being at Fair.
Reality has a nasty habit of interfering in my fantasy life! >:(
I doubt if I'll be ready for Opening Day, ::) much less the FOF event, but I'll be there! ;D
On our way one week from tomorrow- wheeeeee!!!
I don't know where this quote is from, but it's all I can think of right now:
"I'm so excited, I can't even feel my arms!!"
just 7 more days till we drive up for Fair we can't wait. I just hope that when we had to move I packed the good cool fair garb.
The weather forecast is looking good for opening day! Can't wait to see everyone again!
Quote from: Bonny Pearl on March 28, 2009, 09:45:48 AM

They can forcast what they like, I'm bringing the cloaks, gloves, AND the loose fitting thin garb for hot weather...this is Scarby, you never know what you're going to get!
Either way, it going to be a long week while we wait for it!
The NWS long range simply says "Friday thru Sunday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 72." Way far out but at least there doesn't seem to be any big change coming (it snowed here in Bowie last night!). We will be driving down Friday and staying at America's Best Value (hey it's just a place to sleep and garb up). Anyone else staying there. WE are bringing my daughter, son in law and their 6 kids (yes its like the Brady bunch sort of), her 2 and his 4. Give a shout out to them if you see them. They went last year for the first time ever and this time, they all have put together garb and are so excited. They had a blast last year (daughter was beckoned to the stage by Don Juan), kids loved Twig and the Duchess, Noobler and others, SOL and I did archery and his youngest son (he's 8 this year) asked me at the end of the Final Joust "papa Rick, what do they do with that dead guy?" I told him that oh it was just an act and he'd get up and walk off. He said "I saw the blood!" So, I took him back to watch and true to form (I had never seen them do this) and maintaining the illusion, they brought out a stretcher and carried him off. So, they just haul off the dead guy and throw him in the woods...
I'm excited, sharing Faire with family and friends, introducing them to all of my Faire friends is why the world of Faire is so great!
I wish/hope I will be able to make it. :-\

Nope, they strip off his armor so the other knights can divvy it up, and the Guard gets shovel duty...Gotta keep the coyotes and wolves away from the horses.

:-P
Going crazy trying to come up with a comfy cool outfit to wear opening weekend. Running out of time what to do what to do. show the belly or not show the belly that is the ?.......
Draw sticks ;D
Let's just go NOW.
Oh yeah, I have that job thing. I knew I was forgetting something. Maybe I could put a cardboard cutout of myself in front of the classroom and the students wouldn't notice.
You never know, or they will and thank you for it later.
Ferret, that's a wonderful idea. I'll have to try the cardboard cutout with my students too. I'm going to be useless teaching while waiting for Scarby anyway for my mind will be at Scarby already.

The belly is always a good choice. If I have to go shirtless, then the women should show belly.

Has Morgana said anything to you yet? I tried not to be pushy when she said she was thinking about it, which means I WAS pushy but told her I didn't wanna be pushy... *insert ebil laugh here*
Oh, and Ambard's not coming for opening. I'm driving Queen Bonnie up in the meow mobile. I think Cyn and Koolagh may pick me up after I take HRH QoE back to the hotel on Sat night. In any case, I can't wait to see you!

I agree with your rennie math...........but His Excellency just rolls his eyes at both of us. ::)
I will be careful thank you all very much. If you see me feel free to say hi and yes you can ask if I have put more sun block on or not it won't upset me hehehehe.
Morgana's stubborn butt will be there for Opening Weekend
(push push push) Ok Ok I'm going I'm going!!! ;D
not to put a hex on us all, but the weather reports, yes i looked at several, say that this weekend is going to be wonderfully awesome, a bit on the warm side with the highs possibly hitting the lower 80's and sunny with scattered clouds. ;D

Hey all. I'll be posting photos at this location this season. I uploaded at few from FOF day. Would have had more of the FOF people but for some reason most of the shots came out with you all having your eyes closed. :(

2 days ;D
I'm sooooo going with the renny math here - I leave the house tomorrow, so the whole faire experience begins then...One Day!
Yup! Last day of work today, so we're under 24 hours. Just have to pack the carriage in the morning and turn the horses' heads northward.
OK... using rennie math...
Today doesn't count
Tomorrow doesn't count because we are traveling to faire
Saturday is faire
So... It's Time For Faire! Open the Gates?
(Hah... guess that means I shall be arriving before you Killian... even though we are caravaning... which now makes no sense that your a day behind... I am so confused)

OK... using rennie math...
Today doesn't count
Tomorrow doesn't count because we are traveling to faire
Saturday is faire
So... It's Time For Faire! Open the Gates?
(Hah... guess that means I shall be arriving before you Killian... even though we are caravaning... which now makes no sense that your a day behind... I am so confused)
*Break out the rum!*
I'm only a day behind, according to your math, because YOU are 3 drinks behind. Though I am confused as to why today doesn't count, if it didn't count I wouldn't need those 3 drinks....
Update: today so VERY much counts. Teach...think you could swing by town town with a case or two of that rum.....its needed.
I know it's time for faire, because i just finished bottling 3 cases worth of mead, though i'm only bringing 2...i want to keep some for myself at home.

Morgana's stubborn butt will be there for Opening Weekend
(push push push) Ok Ok I'm going I'm going!!! ;D
Yay!!! ;D
Midnight...WE DID IT! lol ;)
Because we ROCK! I mean, uh, sorry to be so pushy, Morgana.... heheheheh.
I've moved our garb and accessories closer to the front door (it's about 35 feet closer than the stuff was in the "garb" room, but it feels better there) and we are packing tonight. We are heading out tomorrow and will arrive at ABV INN at about 8:30 p.m. From this point it is 41 hours 28 minutes until the cannon-eer lets fly! Another year begins!!!!!!!!!!!
Saturday: Mostly cloudy and windy. Highs in the low 80s :) and lows in the mid 50s.
Sunday: Mostly sunny. Highs in the upper 60s ::) and lows in the low 40s.
Grammercy for the weather report VIII! Sunday sounds a bit chilly- but it will be fun! I think I am doing all right on the weather spells! It has not been easy with the rain, wind hail and all I have had to move around! LOL!
Why is it that Saturday, the one day I will be able to make, has to be the day its in the 80s? Could Sat & Sun not flip flop for temps? Arg!
TWENTY SEVEN HOURS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D
Everyone have a wonderful time this weekend. I will see everyone in a few more weeks!
It is 1 day, 2 hours, 38 minutes and 22 seconds until Saturday, April 4, 2009 at 10:00:00 AM
:'( I wish I could make it this weekend.
But to all of you who are lucky enjoy your time. Please take a lot of pics for those of us who can not make it.
I plan to take lots of photos so don't worry, you'll be there in spirit with us, LadyShadow!
Wow...can't believe its tomorrow. Can't wait to see everyone! ;D
Hitting the road today after work! WOO HOO!!! ;D ;D ;D
Can't wait to see you and your crew Lady Ann :)
See you all tomorrow morning.
I'll be on the Parapet.
Less than 23 hours...
I am packed. Leaving sometime early afternoon! See you all on the morrow!
Huzzah!
Taking my online certification class today was a baaaaad idea! Can't concentrate, all I think is, faire! YAY!
I am so jealous of you all! Our season just ended here in AZ, and I'm going through faire withdrawal big time (must have more, must have more, must have more!). We heard from some of the vendors and performers here that Scarby is about the prettiest festival they've ever visited, and so I'm trying to see if there is some decent way of crashing in on the in-laws in Richardson for a weekend to visit y'all and not make it seem like we're there only for faire, although the garb on our backs, mead in our flasks and turkey leg bits stuck in our teeth may be a bit of a giveaway. Anyway, I wish you all a fantastic season! Ours was glorious, and I know yours will be every bit as fine. Huzzah!
Am so renveous for your fair fix, but I get to go to 4 winds next weekend! Have tons of fun you guys!
We're leaving around 2 this afternoon...can't wait to see everyone!!!
I so wish we could come this weekend!! We have a wedding this weekend here in Houston of a dear friend, so won't be there...
Updated forecast for tomorrow, can't wait to see everyone ;)
High: 77 °F RealFeel®: 76 °F
Breezy with times of sun and clouds
We drive up in about an hour! vI can't wait I Don't think I will be able to sleep tonight and I don't think it will be just the baby kicking keeping me awake.
Good bye mundane world, everything is packed and we are headed south on a magic carpet ride!! Open the gates...we are coming!

Stalk well...

Baby kicking?? I guess I missed out on that announcement somewhere! Congratulations! Are you excited????
Capt Marga
can't wait to see everyone out there tomorrow! i have been absent from the forums too much!
Tomorrow's finally opening day! I'm excited! See you all in the AM. ;-)

It is now 10 hours & 45 minutes to cannon! Time for bed ;)
4 hrs, 1 min, 0 sec till cannon
Ugh, this is agonizing knowing that most of my fair family are there without me. I should be able to hold out though because I am trying to go second weekend. :)
*Update* Uh, wait a minute, we just decided to go up for tomorrow because I could not stand not being there today! (you know your a Rennie When...)
Yay for spontaneous road Trips.
Just got back to my sister's house after the day at Scarby. Had a great time, was a pleasure to see everyone. There was a great turn out for RFers. My only complaint and it is one I make most weekends of TRF, was it was too bloody hot. Tomorrow looks like the ideal day for my tastes, however I know some will not be pleased with it. Unfortunately I will be heading home tomorrow and not to Scarby.
I don't think I will be making it back this season again, but I look forward to seeing everyone again at TRF in the fall.
Back at the room. Was awesome seeing everyone today and meeting new ones too. I'm looking forward to tomorrow.
We had a great time today, even if we had to hold ourselves back a bit because we had my parents with us ;)
It was great to see quite a few RFrs! Will post a link to my photos next week sometime. Looking forward to being a participant tomorrow!
I so wish I could have been there today. Hopefully things will turn around and I can make it to Scarby this year.
So anyone have pics up yet?
I had some fun yesterday, and still got my job done. I even learned how to draw beer from a keg. I don't like beer so I've never done it (it's not really hard). So far working there is not so bad except the Kings codpiece did scare me a bit (from a distance even)
Had agreat Day at Faire yesterday.
Here is the link to my pictures.

So I was able to pull some strings on Saturday to let me come up Sunday... I was not doing anything on Saturday as it was and If I got that wild hair on Friday, I might have been there all weekend.
But as it stands I have no Idea how I would up at Scarby on Sunday but my coworkers were so amazing and covered my shift for me.
It was great seeing everyone who I did see and nice to be able to have to no time restraints and talk to everyone and have my own schedule through out the day. I hope I will be able to make it up more this season, but we are not sure. Everything on our side of the real world is pretty bad right now.
We were so happy that we could make it up for opening weekend. We are not sure but we think we might be able to make it back up 3rd weekend to help out a friend. We are not sure how many more times we will be there after that but last weekend for sure.
Well, Surprise!!!!
Chris and I will be up this next weekend!!!! YAY! I was able to change my work schedule to allow it. So to all of you who threatened Death or Fair, I chose fair and am making it happen. YAY! Now it says it will be rainy, so what to wear?
I'll be bringing the rain boots and leaving the camera in the car should we be graced by its presence. Beyond that, I have no idea.
Saturday: Mix of sun and clouds. Highs in the mid 70s and lows in the low 60s :D
Sunday: Thunderstorms. Highs in the mid 70s and lows in the low 50s >:(
Sorry for the Sunday-ers. Yay for Saturday!!!! ;D
