Addendum by Julianne:
I have to point out that since none of this is technically "official" because it is still not on the AZRF website.  We here in no way represent the AZRF or its administration.  We simply offer some guidance based on our knowledge as playtrons and patrons to those that may visit.

I understand that calls may have been made to the "Office" but since the rule is nothing is "set in stone" until it has been posted on the website and for whatever reasons they are behind on this ...then all of this is subject to change.  Pretty much I'd say it's very close but I'd also like everyone to remember that depending on who answered the phone that day...the answer could have been very different.

President's Day Weekend is officially (from my sources ) obviously Valentines, Fiesta, and the King's Birthday....those are the "themes".

It is true that the last weekend of February....our third weekend...is "Venetian Weekend" and will feature a "mardi gras" theme.  There you go.

 

[Morgan Dreadlocke]

"Mardi Gras" theme? (note to self; bring mucho beads, lots of film).

Where would we be findin' this 2fer1 coupon? (If it indeed becomes set in stone fact)

[Marcos Charron]

Morgan

Fry's is the best bet for coupons.

I will investigate and post more locations.

Marcos

[Lord Figaro]

As an FYI though the information received regarding the weekends was sent to me via email upon my request sent to the home office. So I'm thinking it might be pretty close. I'm hoping anyway.

[Marcos Charron]

Lord Fig

I did check with the office, but we have cast members telling us something different. I will keep checking, but will go with what you so generously sent over.

Marcos

[Lord Figaro]

That's always the hard part. Trying to figure who's got the right info, and who is just working off rumors.

[Marquis de Chandler]

Ticket to AZREF:  $20

French Garb: $600 (Shhhhh don't tell my wife!)

Goblin King Sword with Fleur di lis guard: $800 (Wife thing again please)



Medieaval Baebes + Frenchmen - PRICELESS! (OH YEA - Definitely the wife thing here  )

[Comte de Gilbert]

hehe

[Julianne]

*grumble grumble....garb whore....grumble grumble*


Nice to see you here finally my darling husband.

[Lord Figaro]

It's good to see such love in the room.

[Julianne]

Who wants to bet on the temperature for first weekend?

I say it'll be sunny and quite warm...at least 79...more like 80ish.
(there are others who think it'll be rainy and low 70's....hah!)

[Lord Figaro]

Considering this has been what they have called an unseasonably warmer winter than normal, who knows, it might even make it an even warmer fest season than normal too. (Don't beat me)

[Lady Figaro]

We don't have a Fry's in Kingman.  If possible, could someone grab us a few of the "2fers"?   

[Marquis de Chandler]

I am saying the temp will be 71 degrees and cloudy.
