VARF?

Who plans on going to VARF and what weekend?

The weather on the weekend of the 16th and 17th looks doable for armor!

Looking forward to it! I should be pretty flexible about which weekends.

Luckily, my shield is painted with my devices this time. :)

Looks as though I will again have to pass on VARF this year.  It just doesn't look like the money will be there since my wife has lost 5 hours a week and my mail route decreased in size (and thus pay) this year.  It's a shame because I really enjoyed it when I was there two years ago, but you gotta do what you gotta do and bills have to come before playing.

I'm sorry to hear that!

Hopefully the weather will hold up. This coming weekend is opening weekend. It might be nice to get out and have some faire after the long winter break.

Sadly, I won't be able to make it for this opening week-end. Saturday is
my daughter's Prom with all that entails so.......

Should we plan a memorial day weekend gathering? Might make a nice little invasion of the faire!

That sounds like it might be do-able. I think Sir Brian has mentioned
that week-end but nothing in stone as yet....

We'll be there for either of both days on memorial day weekend. We're going to try and make
a run down there this Sunday to pick up me new leather kilt.  ;D

Well, Kat will be at VARF only on the Saturday next weekend (and as I'm sure you're aware, they're only open 2 days for Memorial weekend instead of all 3 this year). So I'll probably aim for going Saturday. Gonna try to clear it at work (ah, the joys of pager duty).
