I'll try to make it down to MdRF the 16th. I've been coming up for OT about every other weekend and since this weekend I should be off, if the pattern holds I should be off the 16th too. It's hard to turn down OT, especially since I need to pay for my new work car since the old one took a crap on me and I am trying to save up to get another hand gonne and a wheel lock pistol, not to mention the material for this off seasons sewing projects and a buff coat!

Excellent!  :)

It's looking like we'll have a great turnout for our Modern Chivalry invasion! Now we only have to figure out where we should all meet on the 16th and at what time?

I can never guarantee how early I'll be there. Some non-forum folks will try to meet up with us by the military encampment at about 12:30-1pm, but we can certainly try to meet up sooner too. We often don't get there before 11, though we can certainly try.

The faire opens at 10.

O'Shucks (Middleton's) and the White Hart are always great places to find me or someone who knows me. :)

I'm actually looking to be present in the first half of the day as I gotta go look at a house before the open house closes at 6...I'll probably be gone by 4 (possibly earlier) if that matters.

No need- at least not for my sake; I talked to milady about it and we'll go see the house first (11-11:30am)...should be at MDRF around noon or so depending on traffic.  I'm coming from Bowie, anyone know of a back way to get there?

The best way in is via Route 50. It's all right turns, very easy. If you're going east on 50, you'll want to take EXIT 22, Aris T. Allen + Riva Road. Be on the right when you see the signs for Exit 21 rt. 97, because Exit 22 is very quick after that. Stay to the right as the ramp splits, and at the bottom you take a right onto Riva at the light. Then take a right at the second light onto Truman. Truman will dead-end into South Haven at a light, and you turn right here. Then after a couple blocks you'll cross over 450 and the road becomes Crownsville Rd, and the faire is on the right after about a 1/2 mile.

That's not the general directions they give everyone, is it?  Just wondering...I'm looking to avoid that long line of traffic that usually begins a few miles back from the entrance.  Can't remember the name of that road...either way, we'll be there!

For my part, I'm excited!

The recently changed the website to make this the main directions from Rt.50, but it hasn't caused traffic issues yet. They used to tell you to get onto Rt.3 from 50, then go east on 450 for 6.5 miles before turning onto Crownsville Rd. It's probably 450 you're thinking of, since it backs up for miles if you don't get there early enough. And it's mostly due to the traffic light at Crownsville Rd, rather than the faire entrance. Coming across 450, from South Haven, you usually only have to sit through the red light once, and then straight to the faire parking lot without stopping.

This season I saw the first exception to this that I've noticed. I often get to the faire around 11 or 11:30, and usually can zip right in. But this past week was so ridiculously crowded that I saw crownsville road itself back up on this side. (The north side is a different story, as Crownsville Rd will back up all the way back out onto 97 and 32 sometimes).

The weather is probably going to be pretty good this weekend, so I'd expect a good crowd. But this past week was also Octoberfest (or "drunktoberfest" as we often call it), which is always packed if the weather is at all decent..

Yup, 450 it is...since I live right off it, that's the way I would take, just wasn't sure if I took it all the way up.  Apparently, I did/do.  Welp, no matter what, I'll be there, with milady in tow!  Or vice versa.  lol

Go east until the men speak Italian, then keep going until they speak something else. :D
