Please let me know if people have or have not gotten their FoF letters (outlining what, when, where, etc).
Thanks,
Capt Marga
I got one...I think. OH crap, I still haven't RSVP'd. :-[ Surgery and school and work will do that to you.
is that the letter that has the phone# for the office so we can call and RSVP?
That would be the one.... I believe the RSVP deadline is Mar 20th.

No FoF letter here either, but I did RSVP for the preview via the number on the website.
No letter here.
I did get the letter. I RSVPed yesterday.
No letter - just an e-mail saying the photo for my ID was OK. From the FAQ on the Friends of Faire page:
When is the special Friend of the Faire preview?
Sunday, March 29, 2009 from 1pm to 6pm. We will begin taking photos at 1pm; dinner service will begin at 4pm. The preview is open to Friends of the Faire only and passes will be checked at the gate. Please call the office at 972-938-3247 no later than March 20, 2009 and make reservations so that we know how much food to order.
No letter here. I would like to RSVP by email, but don't know where to send it. I suppose the letter would tell me that.
Check out the FoF page on the Scarborough Website - you must RSVP before Friday.
Thanks
Capt Marga
I have not received a letter, but I called and RSVP'd last week.
no letter here either
(we can't make the preview regardless, so no big deal really)
I have *GOT* to remember to send in those pictures tonight though... sigh
*rum is a bit of a distraction at times*
No letter here either... but I'll pull the info from the site. Thanks for the headsup!
I rsvp'd sometime back........but still no letter.

I wondered about those Scream tickets too...Never got mine either. Hm.
I didn't either, but since I never go to Screams, it didn't bother me too much.
We didn't get Screams tickets last year either. Waited for those until it was too late.
As I now understand, there was no written letter sent. Was told people needed to read the newsletter (so check your spam filters/Junk mail).
Boils down to if you haven't already RSVP'd, you need to do so by tomorrow.
Capt Marga
I may have gotten an email a few weeks ago, but don't have it anymore. I already RSVP'd anyway.
Just got an email from Scarby. Here's the body of it:
In just two weeks it will be opening day of our 29th Season and we will once again "Throw wide the gates and let Scarborough Faire begin". We look forward to seeing all of you here.
****** FRIENDS OF THE FAIRE AND SEASON PASS HOLDERS PLEASE NOTE *******
The last day to have your photo ID picture scheduled and made in the office or to E-MAIL your picture is Wednesday, March 25. After that you will have to have your picture made at the gate. We highly recommend emailing your picture to pictures@SRFestival.com so that we can have your photo ID pass ready when you first arrive this season.
OPENING DAY – We will have two lines for those who do not already have their photo ID's. Line #1 will be for those who have sent in their pictures. (It will be the faster moving line.) Line #2 will be for those who still need their pictures taken. (It will be the slower moving line.) We will open the lines at 9 am on opening day at the Souvenir Gypsy Wagon outside the front gate. BE SURE AND BRING YOUR ONLINE PRINTED TICKET!

Friends of the Faire will be able to have their picture ID's made at the Friend of the Faire Preview event on Sunday, March 29 as well.
Speaking of which, the last day to RSVP for the Friend of the Faire Preview event is Wednesday, March 25. Remember this event is for Friends of the Faire only.

Don Juan and I both received emails saying our photos were ok, but no newsletter since 2/10. We probably
won't go to the preview event in garb if we drive my car as there isn't room for all the accessories.

Same for me, no letter, but I did RSVP about a month ago. No Screams tickets arrived last year either.

The gal in the Scarby office said there were no letters sent out this year. And FoFs are asked to please not wear garb at the Preview (I suppose so any new performers won't be confused as to who we are). I'll be in my dark gray jeans, white tank top, carrying my purple umbrella, and with my son in tow ... or on a leash, lol.
Look for us so I can say hi! :-)

Actually they did request that people come in garb if they still need to have their photo taken for their FOF ID.

Hmm, good to know, as that's not what I was told. I'll call the office back today for clarification. Thanks so much for the heads-up.

Just called the office and the told me that garb is optional this year for the pictures and FOF preview

That's basically the answer I received too, so I'll be in garb. Who else will be in their finest??

We RSVP'ed my daughter (the only FoF this year).
I will be an serf this year, orientation is tomorrow. They said I will not be working Sunday, now I just have to see if I can come Sunday (I've never worked there before so I don't know the rules yet).
I hope you can come out Sunday.
We'll be there noonish with a bottle of Cava Rosado.

Due to problems with the photo ID printer, Scarby is practically begginf people to email their pictures in by Friday April 3 if
they do not already have their pass.
I emailed mine and walked right up to the ticket booth and got it. The line was atrocious for the camera. This was during emplyee orientation. I would hate to see the line when guest show up. My daughter was at the FoF event and said it was pretty bad, luckily she emailed hers as well. (I would like to have been there but I was told I was not welcome (~sniff :'(~)
Email it if you haven't already!
We worked the camera/printer at NTIF. Having to pull up the info, cross check, shoot photo, crop, then print is a MINIMUM of 90 seconds. If not all the info (like the barcode from ticket) is on there, then add another minute. At an average of 2 minutes apiece, they can only do 30 in an hour.
Yes, they probably need a second printer, but that type is NOT a standard photo printer, and it's expensive as I understand. It not only puts down your photo, but the barcode on the back, and holo security layer on the top.
Perhaps next year.
