Countdown to Opening Day!!!

[dbaldock]

Yeah...what is the Rennie math time?  (I'm not sure I know exactly what the Rennie math is!)

You might be sorry you asked...   

Here's julessweetie's thread where she explains Rennie Math


Take Care,

[Lady Kett]

I'll give it a shot till Jules blesses us with her presence...

Today doesn't count (-1)
Football weekends don't count (-2 this weekend, -2 for next weekend, then the pro-bowl game [Sidekick says this only counts as -1, not full weekend for a -2], -2 for Superbowl weekend [Sidekick says -4 to include Friday and Monday if the Steelers are in the Superbowl, we'll hold that thought for now...]) (subtotal -7 minimum, possibly -9)
We plan on going to FlaRF on 2/11, so 2/11 through 2/14 don't count (-4)
Then we would leave for SFF on 2/18, so the 18th doesn't count. (-1)
Merlin, if you leave on Thursday, we could make that -2.

So....36-1-7-4-1 = 23 days maximum till faire, possbily extended by -2 additional for Steelers in the Superbowl and possbily -1 additional depending on Merlin's travel days, for a low end of 20 days till Faire.

Oh Wait! My birthday is in January, so that totally doesn't count! That brings us to 22 max, 19 min on the Rennie Math count!

Whew, I had to work hard for that. Merlin, can I have a sip of that Jack Daniels now?  

[Merlin the Elder]

I'll have some with me, m'Lady...

[Lady Kett]

Jules' loyal servants await her pleasure...

[Merlin the Elder]

ROFL!

Lady kett

You Rock, i do not beleive Jules could do it much better.

[Lady Kett]

Nah, Jules is the Master, or Mistress, as the case may be. I'm just the apprentice! Kind of like Mickey in the Sorcerer's Apprentice LOL.

I hope you don't make as big a mess as Mickey did, Lady Kett...

Thank you, Don Juan! Getting more and more excited about the trip... Was just trying to figure out the best route from here, weighing time, distance, and quality of road. If anyone knows anything especially helpful along these lines, the best route from Texarkana would help. (There's only one road from my castle to Texarkana that I would consider)

Well, I am at day zero until Faire. Moved the trailer onsite behind my Son's booth (#113 by the Greenwood Stage). Was a good place to get out of the rain this weekend. Even with the rain, we had a good turnout of volunteers to help get the Faire ready for opening.

Sholo came onsite Friday. I didn't recognize him with all his clothes on. I knew his name, but when he introduced himself it "didn't click" until about 30 minutes later.

Shall I say that the cast is getting into high gear. I watched several rehearsals and was impressed. This second year is going to be even bigger and better than the first year.

There are several new vendor booths under construction. The tent circle up the hill to the pub has been replaced by hard-booths. More tent booths from the first year are being replaced with hard-booths. Vendors have found that Sherwood Forest Faire is here to stay.

The main parking lot has doubled. We have constructed two rows for RV/TRavel trailer camping in the main parking lot. We have increased the space in the General/Open Patrons campgrounds, plus added five groups in the reserved Patrons campgrounds.

My little group is pretty stoked about coming down there for the first time this year. Really looking forward to the experience.

- You think you're excited, my wife has been looking at the site on google earth and planning where she wants to park.

[KiltedPrivateer]

However google earth probably doesn't show the updated parking lot yet (o:

She'll have even more options when y'all arrive

Tell me the location and I'll make sure it is mowed.

[Don_Juan_deCordoba]

Thanks, but we're not camping so I'm sure you will have the parking lot mowed. For her, if she can be there yet, she can at least look at it.
