Ren Faire Dates - 2008

Sir Edward:
Well, we're back from NCRF! I added some pics on my site here:

I also picked up a 13th C. antique iron key (assuming it's legit and accurate, of course), that originated in Germany (modern day Bavaria actually):


(clicky)
(Sorry for the overexposed picture)

So it's not a sword, but I have a period antique! The guy gave me some advice for cleaning the rust up a bit. This hasn't had any restoration or cleaning.

Sir Brian:
Well last minute change of plans for Rosemary and I. Looks like we’ll be going to
the NCRF after all! The weather in Georgia is not going to be that great this weekend
and we are still not sure if it is a good idea for Rosemary to ride in a car that long with
her mystery illness. :-\
– Long periods of sitting, riding or driving use to cause her excruciating pain.
She has gradually been getting better over the past month but we decided
it would be best to try a shorter trip before doing that long trek to Georgia!  ;)

If Rosemary gets through this trip ok we’ll try for the GARF at the end of April.

Anyone else planning on going to the closing weekend of NCRF or the Georgia fair at
the end of April?

Sir Edward:


Not us, I think VARF is next for us. Glad to hear Rosemary is improving! It's no fun to have a mystery illness. I just got off a round of triple antibiotics for mine. :-\

Oh, you'll probably see the antique dealer down at NCRF that I bought the key from. I didn't get his business card, and can't remember the website. I just know it had the word "relic" in it. Mind doing me a favor and checking on that while you're there? :)

I gave the Fiat Lux knights a business card, and emailed one of them (no reply yet), but I really only talked with one of them ("Sir Edward"), so feel free to hand out more cards or whatever. The more the merrier!

Sir Brian:
Sure!
Weather looks like it will be warmer with a greater chance of rain
on Saturday with less chance of rain but decidedly cooler on Sunday...
So I'll save my knight kit for Sunday and "Lord" it up on Saturday.  ;)

Sir Edward:

Yeah, that sounds like a good plan. Sometimes it's the other way around for me though-- I don't want to wear my nice leathers in the rain, but my aluminum is fine.

Have a great time! I hope it's not a total mud pit this time. The cast were referring to the "Royal Glade" as the "Royal Mud Pit" while we were there. :) Of course, it's not a problem all over the site, since some is indoors, some is paved, some is up on the hill, etc.
