So come out to see us, cheer us on or help us pack and unpack all our stuff! ;)
-
Thanks for compiling this. Should we list it on the Order website too?
-
I wish I were closer!

That would be cool! :)
Are you going to add some more photos to the 'Gatherings' section as well since it's a bit sparse! ;)

I was actually talking about our upcoming events with my boss and mentioned we haven't got a lot of our "promo" stuff online. Last year's VARF videos still need to be finalized and posted too. If I can get my garage back in order after the blow faucet / water damage, and get some straps replaced before the Mar 1st event, I'll see what I can do. :)
-
I re-uploaded the full-length video of last year's demo into the Order's Youtube account, so that if you click through from the "Online" tab on the website, you'll see it. That makes 3 we have in that account now.
But yeah, upcoming events on the website would be great.
-
I want to do the faire festival, but what tickets do I order that are cheaper and allow me to help out with the sword demos?
-
If you mean the Maryland Faerie Festival in May I am sure I can get complimentary tickets or if you are going to help us then you wouldn't even need a ticket since you would be a performer. :)
-
Hmm, perhaps it would be wise if communications with my mother we're made. And I'm sure my brother would like to participate.
-
I'm not much on Faerie Festivals, but I might come down to check out the demo. It will depend on our Faire rehearsal and reenacting events schedule, but that could be a free weekend for me, since Twisted Knot will be having events the following two weekends. Glad to see the Order will be at CSM. My Reivers will be there the day before but due to a prior commitment we can't do Saturday and I can't make the trip for either day :'( . Shame cause that was a really fun event for us last year.

I had not seen that video before. I thoroughly enjoyed it!
So when is that demo coming to the Pittsburgh festival? ;)

Well unfortunately the Pittsburgh Festival runs congruent with PARF and MDRF so it's very unlikely we’ll be able to have the spare weekends but if enough of our brethren are interested in doing a demo then I would give up a weekend from my home faire. ;)
Another possible faire we might be able to do and I’ve mentioned to a couple of brethren is a weekend at the Great Lakes Medieval Faire near Geneva, OH.

If we are interested in doing this faire for a single weekend then please let me know ASAP as they are accepting applications now!
~ The weekend of July 19th & 20th works best for me but I can to the next two weekends after if necessary. ;)

If you do end up doing it, let me know. That one's close enough that I can make it there and back in a day. I doubt I'd be of any use for a demonstration, but I was planning on hitting that one this year anyway, and it would be cool if our schedules happened to line up. ;)
-
4 to 4.5 hr from me
-
So you c
4 to 4.5 hr from me
Oh good! So I can mark you down as a yes? :)
-
Replied in PM.. I have to fix a couple things on the website before I can add the schedule but I have it on my list to work on next week
-
That looks like fun. It would be a weekend trip for me but involves cutting across NY right into OH. I would be interested Brian if you send the dates & I check my schedule in advance. Sir Thumbs & myself have yet to square off officially. :)

It turns out we won't be able to do this faire after all. We couldn't get everyone's schedules to coordinate. I thought we might be able to squeeze in on their closing weekend but my niece decided to get married that weekend.
Oh well maybe next year! :-\
-
How about a NYRF (Tuxedo Park) venue for the order to accommodate us New Englanders?? I could inquire. :) They start their season early. Maybe we could do a demo.
-
I've contemplated inquiring with that faire but probably next season since it would basically have to be in the first three weekends of the Faire prior to the MDRF’s opening day. Since we couldn't coordinate our schedules with the first three weekends of August for the GLMF then it also precludes us from making the NYRF in the same timeframe. :(
