Must see at Scarby?

I plan on making a weekend trip to Scarby this year. I think I'm going to be out with the kidlets one day but come solo on the other. I didn't make it out to Scarby at all last year, and the three years prior to that I only saw three shows the entire time and don't remember doing much but being uncomfortably pregnant. In essence, I haven't been involved in faire for four years. My question is, what shows should I be sure to see? I already have a short list of what I want to do, but I would appreciate help adding to it.

Joust - I have never made a joust at Scarby, which is a travesty.
Daniel Duke of Danger
Cast shows - I've never been able to attend, but have always wanted to. Specifically I'd like to watch the country/court dances, HMC and possibly Scottish Court.

Any other suggestions?

When we went to Scarby last year for the RenDezvous, we enjoyed Michael O'Quinn, Rambling Sailors, and Cast in Bronze.  We also liked the pub sing at the end of the day (the one's with the musicians, not the cast).

Some acts are only going to be there for part of the run.
Just a few of my recommendations;
Arsene
Doktor Kaboom
Don Juan & Miguel
Michael O'Quinn
Donnal Hinely
Ramblin' Sailors
Sarah Mullen
Aurum peccamenes multifariam texit
Marquesa de Trives
Portrait Goddess

-I really enjoyed Wine and Alchemy, a world music band.
-Don Juan and Miguel...always entertaining.
-Sara Mullen, a pleasure to listen to
-After years of seeing Sholo immobile at Scarborough, either at the gate or at the bridge,, we caught his act for the first time at Sherwood this year. Who-a-thunk? See him! I think he does his show at the White Horse.  Check your local listings for times in his area... ;)
-Twig just always makes me smile...

I'm going to try to shop less this year and see more shows! One jeweler I have to see, though, to see if he has any new dragon rings. I always end up spending time and money in his shop!

Our favorites are Iris & Rose, Zilch the Torysteller and the Pub Sing!

Merlin the Elder

I hate to admit it, but I don't think we've ever lasted until the pub sing!  I hope we can pace ourselves and talk our friends into holding on that long.

Well you are going to get a list with every act out there :P
I will tell you what i didn't like  just to be different :
Stewart & Arnold - it is a father and son knife throwing show ( a lot of  people like  it i was bored)
Motley Players III - Whose line doth it be anyway? Comedy improv and water balloons! (i think this one is for the kids. again boring)

Look  i  know a lot of people on this forum will like these i am just saying i didn't.

Now i do love most of the other ones, but i think my fav is
Ebeneezer Crumbee - The Irate Pyrate (LOVE IT. he improv stores and it is amazing. I go to he show 2 or 3 times a trip)

I believe Doktor Kaboom will only be there the last weekend (Mem. Day weekend). Hey Nunnie Nunnie was only there for one weekend last year and their time and place were hard to find. Hopefully they're there for the run this time. Scarb's website on shows hasn't been updated yet.   :( 
Save the Earth (it's the only one with beer)!

The new stage schedules are up I believe.

I am with TG on this one, Cast in Bronze.   ;D

nope, still says 2010 at the bottom of the page

You know, it says 2010, but I don't think it is... If you look at it, it has Sloanwolfe, Arsene on the Crown Stage, Adam Crack on the Revelers Stage, and several other things that weren't from last year... Perhaps they updated the shows but forgot to update the year?
