Back from faire. off to find supper.
that's a great picture!
I hope the weather was decent.
Are you going to be there next Saturday? :D
I have to work Saturday Night, So if I go it'll be for half a day. It'll depend on the weather and how rough the work week was.
Some of the changes this year.
The crosswinds stage AKA the music stage is gone. Some of the food booth that were up the hill are there now. Looks like it'll reduce the crowding in that area.
Most of the music is now on the Bazzar stage, which is bigger than the old stage. But Craig of Farrington only has one show. Paolo is on the Highland Manor stage and the new Belly Dancers are at the Pub.
Saturday pics are up/

I wonder if they have plans to dry out the parking lot before Saturday...
it'd be silly if they didn't..I wanna go, we plan on going, flagnagbit.. :-X
Started on Saturdays pics, would have had more but I actually had to do some work at work :P
http://s734.photobucket.com/albums/ww347/FestivalPhotos/TNRF/2009/SAT%202%20MAY/?start=all
Thank you for sharing Kirk
I'm with Clover. Here's hoping they find some way to dry it out or make it more usable when wet. Alphonse and I are planning to attend this coming weekend. Will try to work weather voodoo so that all passing storms skirt the faire grounds this week.
I told my sister that I'm going come hell or high water (ha) which ever comes first... I haven't been in 2 years and I'm ready to get my fest fix..I'll be looking out for you guys! ;D
Well, last weekend there was definitely "high water"! Thanks, Kirk (and welcome to the Family, by the way). You took some great shots. Love the portrit of Gimli! ;)
It's so funny to see you guys from the other side now. I can't just drop character and be like "Oh hey! Look it's people from the forums!" Be sure to catch me in the chess match if you didn't on Saturday! Let's hope for some dry weather, and pray...and possibly beg...
Excellent pictures guys.
I did catch the chess match last Saturday and enjoyed it very much. Hardly noticed the rain going down my neck. :D
I saw you walking around the faire but missed the Chess Match.
Here are the few that I got.

Thanks for all the photos everyone!
Hail everyone,
I just finished posting all the pics I took from the Tennessee Ren Faire this past Saturday. It was a real blast with a lot of great people and new friends. For anyone interested, just go to the link below and then click on the faire you want to view. I hope you all like them. Enjoy!!

Can't make it this Sat, couldn't find any one to cover the open shift at work, hope Sunday doesn't get rained out again.
*sung in Craig of Farrington's voice* "I'm not at the Faire today."
Too sore from cleaning up a portion of the debris in my yard (see Picture of the Day!) and don't want to be wet all day on top of that. I will be there tomorrow, however!
Hopefully the swamp parking lot will be OK to keep the Faire open, the weather looks enormously better. This morning they were saying that there would only be scattered storms and rain by this afternoon, hopefully tht will be enough letup to keep things going.
As I sit at work and watch everone heading off to the steeplechase, I think that if I can't be at fest at least I'm dry and getting overtime ;D
Now if I can just get the virus off my laptop I can work on pictures :P

Hey renfairephotog,
GREAT picture of Joey putting on Ripper's helmet! I'm sure the guys would love to see it!
Thanks I got a few nice shots of the Knight Squire relationship. That one was yesterday photo of the day in my 365 blog. I'm going to go back and put more info in the post. Is he still going by Sir Henry Clifford? Squire Joey?
http://blog.ollure.com/?p=431
George Clifford this year, actually. Joey may have another name, but I'm sure Squire Joey/Joseph would work fine.
P.s. I'm Squire Robert, in case you wanted to know
thought I'd share my shots, so far:

Lady Nicolette,
Sorry you didnt get to go to faire. I wish I was back again since i enjoyed it even in the little off and on rain.
Lord Sir Clisto of York
PS for anyone else - Has the rain not really stopped in the last 2 weeks? That has to be bad. Really sucks to have a faire season like that.
Very little dry days.
Yesterday was nice but more rain heading in.
We've had maybe 3 days without rain in the last three weeks.
I hear ya. I'm about ready to invest in a canoe. I've been singing "Boat Drinks" for the last week or so... I gotta go where it's warm! ;)
I'll put it this way. The water park has too much water. Nashville Shores opens this weekend. They are reducing tickets prices because the water is too high to use the beach.
It's dry right now but rain is predicted later today and straight thru to Sunday morning. They said overnight sat to early sunday so hopefully it'll stay nice during faire.
oy... well, at least i know what garb to bring.... or should i just bring a bathing suit and oars??? :D
It has been one of the rainiest Mays on record, ever. I can not express how much I am just LOVING the muddy lanes and jumping up and down in the swamp that is the joust field and slipping all over the chess board and not being able to get anyone very enthusiastic because everyone is drenched and muddy. Huzzah. Sunday was really really nice though, first really great faire day this season. I'm holding out for the forecast to change before Saturday but I'm not holding my breath. Maybe Memorial weekend will be better.
Aaah, I hope the forecast will change! I don't want my best friend soaked for her first faire in garb! Sigh.
Those of us in Memphis are used to this. It always rains for Memphis in May! Can't have BBQ without mud! ;D

Also the newly formed Order of Orange was out in force creating pandimonium at Paulo's 2:30 show. Thanks to a clever 11 yr old, Paulo was forced to eat both the Orange and the onion.

This fall I start my tenth season of my web site. I realized one part of faire I have failed to photograph, the food. So here are the Apple Dumplings from the Tennessee Renaissance Festival.

Okay now all this talk of Apple Dumplings, Chocolate Ice Cream, and Spinach Pie are starting to make me hungry now and I just ate dinner not to long ago. So no fair. ;D

It was awesome to see everyone this weekend. My only regret is that I didn't have enough time to spend with everyone. I constantly bounced from group to group all weekend.
I have a few shots to put up myself. Just got my computer working again. Went down just 4 days before coming to TN.
I miss everyone soooooooo much!
It was great to see everyone again this year...As Craig of Farrington says, "Don't be sad that it's over, be glad that it happened!" And I am!
It was an absolute blast meeting everyone. I finally got to put a few faces with R/F names. I'll post more pics later tonight as I get them edited and uploaded.
It was a lot fun meeting alot of the members this past weekend!!! Long live the order of the orange!!!
What a lovely family you all are! Huzzah to the Order of the Orange!

Good work Kirk
Ah Syrilla in all her beauty. Awesome shot Kirk.
Great capture of the Queen Kirk
I agree - absolutely stunning! But of course, Syrilla is a beautiful lady, in garb or not.
Better late, than never.......
I have my pics from Saturday the 23rd finally uploaded. The first time I used my "new" camera and I think this set came out pretty good.

Hey there! I know it's been a while (both since faire and since I've been on the forums) but does anyone have pictures of the girl in the gryphon-ish mask from the last weekend of faire. It was me and I can't seem to find pictures anywhere :(.
Thanks!
-Niennis
I have some. I behind on my faire photos. I've been busy with my Ollusions and 365 projects. I thought I'd processed the grphon pic. I may not have ever posted them.
I'll check in a few moments.
Thanks XD

the mask

Thank you! Those are such good pictures! I love how that mask looked out on the faire grounds. Be prepared, next year it'll be a full body gryphon (or two!) XD
