Great Lakes Medieval Faire 2008

[Lady Mikayla of Phoenicia]

So what time are we all getting?  My goal is between 8 and 830.  Gate opens at 10(?) so I want to make sure I get to see everyone before our "GRande Entrance"

Yup, I say between 8 - 8:30 sounds good. We should be able to get good parking and "hydrate" up in time for gate 

Dear Goddess,

These men are wicked...with talk of such early times...at the very least a pleasant wake-up should be in order and ya better make it early!   

[Scotsman]

The early bird gets the Guinness!

8:00?  8:30?  Tsk tsk.  Morwyn and I plan to arrive fashionably late (and garbed) around 9:00 - 9:15.   Corks shall pop post haste!

If we are all too pooped to party at that late hour - don't blame us ... by that time there should be a shout for "LAST CALL" ringing about! I fear the coolers will be empty ..... but I have been wrong before!

[Lady Guinness]

0800-0830 sounds perfect my gentlemen...(come on ladies...we can do it!!) the more time to be with my dear friends the better. Tink and Bell~I did not get to say a proper farewell at Tenn so I am begging to make up for it....I will over flow your drinking vessels!!

[DuCoeur]

I was suggesting an 8 830 arrival so we could all park next to each other and have a "Party Circle"  So we would not have to drag coolers back and forth....

I'm just saying...

Michelle and I are planning on being there opening weekend as well.

3 more weeks my Mon ami's

[Lady de la Warr]

OH!! I can't wait!!

I just hope it's not as dreadful hot and humid as it was yesterday at VARF. Good GODS is was awful!!

Mind you, I had a lovely time. I got to go a-faireing with many of my good friends. But I must admit - I was miserable and ended up with a pounding headache from the heat and was not well the rest of the night (and yes I was staying hydrated - hardly drank any adult beverages at all but did drink LOTS of water - it's just the heat got to me in that black velvet gown).

[DuCoeur]

I too am hoping and praying for nice weather.

Last year was warm but not unbearable.   We will all take care of each other, make sure we stay hydrated and have a great time.  No one leaves early!!! lol

[Lady de la Warr]

Agreed on all counts Milord.

We must be cognizant of one another in the extreme heat. Sometimes we are having such a good time that we don't realize that our body needs hydration, food or a break from the heat. So we must watch out for one another and if we see someone not looking well we must make sure that person has water to drink, food to eat, some shade in which to sit and basically just tell them that they aren't looking well so maybe they should take a break (and if helps when friends bring their RV so air conditioning can be had for such situations).

Oh - and make sure you eat!! You really do need food - as well as and in addition to water - to help your body regulate its temperature. That is always my biggest mistake - I forget to eat and suffer greatly later. Luckily the faire friends who know me well always remind me to eat (as in "Lady de la Warr, what did you eat today??) There have been many times I have been asked that question only to answer "nothing" (at which time I get yelled at and ordered to eat immediately).

And I love you all for it!  Please keep it up!!
