Ren Faire Dates - 2008

<< < (26/31) > >>

Sir Edward:

Weather report still says 84 and sunny for tomorrow. Looking good. I managed to spend some more time on the chausses this week and get some gussets installed too.. I think they'll be ready to go for tomorrow!

Something I always think about at the beginning of the season is what I want to shop for, or at least keep my eyes open for, and what shows I'd like to catch, etc, over the course of the season. Do you guys have anything special you want to look out for? Anything on the shopping list? Acts and shows you really want to see?

Some changes this year--

This is the last season for Hack-and-Slash, so it's a good time to catch them before they move on.

Also, one of the actors in the Puke and Snot show died at the beginning of the week from a heart attack. It's really a shame... they've been a staple of the renfaire scene for over 30 years (probably more like 35).  I don't know if the show is supposed to be at MDRF this season or not, but they're definitely not finished, as they're re-casting the role.

Several infrequent acts are returning. Owain Phyfe will be here the last two weekends (amazing voice he has, and he sings in something like a dozen languages). The Medieval Baebes are returning too, but I don't know which weekends. Hey Nunnie Nunnie is returning, but I also don't know which weekends. Their show is hilarious, especially if you're Catholic.

Sword Chick:
The Rogues!!!  <swoon>

Shakespeare's Skum, especially Macbeth in 20 Minutes or Less

Hillby the Skinny German Juggler.  He's later in the season, so I've only caught his show once.  The one time I did, I was laughing so hard tears were running down my face.  (Though that could be caused by the amount of meade that I had had by then.)   ::)

The website for Hey Nunnie Nunnie doesn't show anything for MDRF. (http://www.nunnienunnie.moonfruit.com/#/schedule/4513086618)

But here's what the Medieval Baebes' site says:

BTW, this could be just a rumor. I heard through the grapevine that they were leaving, but I didn't know if they were leaving MDRF or quitting their act. But at their stage at the faire, they still have signups for their mailing list and so on. I suspect we've been misinformed.


Anyway, we had a great weekend! It was nice to see some of you guys again. And to have several of us armored up is always wonderful. I posted links to some of my pics in the other thread.

   

Sir Edward:

So, anyone considering armor for this weekend? It looks like there may be some scattered storms on saturday, but it's supposed to be much more clear on sunday and monday. We haven't 100% decided our schedule, but we may be there through the weekend and put in a half day on monday. Just not sure yet.

I'm tempted to aim for sunday for armor.
